I love how you use natural elements in your decor. Your porch looks so cozy and classic!

Dear Mary - I love your videos. My mother had dementia for the past 5 years and passed away in March. For the last months, while I helped her at mealtime, we would watch your videos. Even though she wasn't able to talk, she loved watching them / you. Many good things can be said about my mom, but she was a "worker" and loved to improve her environment with what she had available. The music and your tone was very soothing and your videos are a part of my sweet memories with my mother. Thank you!

Mary, your porch turned out absolutely amazing, how you used natural elements from outside your home and make it work,you always amaze me on how you make everything look great by not purchasing anything, have great Thanksgiving.

I just love that you just walk out in your yard and come back to put together a beautiful and simple arrangement that looks so good! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the inside tour!!

You must be doing really well with your many adventures. To put such an expensive tree, that most of us can only dream of, but never afford, out on your porch shows how far you've come. You're a classic rags to riches story. As the country goes deeper in to the recession, soon to be depression, I hope the old humble Mary will resurface and show more compassion for the less fortunate. That being said, congrats on doing so well. Dreams really do come true! God bless you Mary for the joy you bring to so many.

Your porch looks beautiful Mary! You have a great eye for decorating. It makes you want to curl up on the porch swing with a warm cup of coffee and your kitty in your lap.

I love how you always have a random kitty helping you.

The garland framing the swing is my favorite! So pretty! 🤩 And the swag on the door. Love that look! And the simple tree branch in the crock on the chair. Love the whole vibe! 👍🏻

Chuckled a hit when you said, "The last time for morning glory wall. I know you are experienced...those seeds are considered noxious weeds. I love them; and put up with their prolific growth. I love your projects. You inspire me as a prov31 lady.

First time for your videos… I LOVE your natural simplicity. Not over done with junk made out of tuna cans or pool noodles! Your decor is organic and beautiful!

Just had to comment. The idea to consider the view from sitting inside is so important. You will enjoy looking at the natural, cozy, but simple elements you have chosen. Thanks for sharing!

We are still having tornadoes in the south so the most I can do is drool over the beauty you can create.

I absolutely love that weathered stump that you use on your porch now in your decor. I really want to try and find one like that!

Beautiful. Love how you used pine twigs, berries & pinecone from your yard. 🎄 🎄 🎄

What an inviting, beautiful porch for the winter season! Happy Thanksgiving, Mary and family!

Your porch is so pretty and country,looking

You must be the hardest working woman on RU-vid. Your energy never ceases to amaze me. Great job!

Oh my goodness I've seen a commercial for this outdoor cleaner and I got a chance to use it on my decking outdoor furniture and it worked so good, all the green mildew disappeared in no time love it and I let my granddaughter use it also on a door, I definitely recommend, love your ideas you're so gifted, may you continue to inspire us as God continue to bless and use you, I look forward to your videos

Mary I don’t ever dry (polish) my windows or mirrors I just use the polish cloth to clean and have never had streaks etc. TFS I love your channel. Many blessings from California💕🌴🌞👍🏻

Looks beautiful, cozy and welcoming, Mary! The only thing that would make this better...would be the chance to sit down there with a warm drink and your company!

So beautiful, Mary! I'm going to have to go back and look for your Morning Glory video. I'd love to do something like that in the spring. 🙂

Oh my goodness, you have the best natural elements. Everything always looks so nice! We had Morning glories once…😂….never again!

Your simplicity still has a WOW factor

Thank you, I'm inspired to do something on my front porch. Trust me Mary, those Morning Glory's will come back next year. I found them quite invasive (for years). You should plant pole beans in their place next year, how fun would it be to go out and pick beans for dinner. Your porch is beautiful. When I tell my husband about something you do I always say... "My friend Mary...." he knows who I'm talking about now. 🙂 Thank you for your continued inspiration.

Your porch looks wonderful! I love how you used all the greenery to bring color to your porch. I love the nativity sign and the shutter, too!

Mary, I really enjoy your videos. (I watch you on our tv and now have my husband hooked too.) I’ve noticed you’re becoming more relaxed in your introductions and closing statements. It sounds like you’re talking to your friends. Love that!

It all came out picture-perfect! We also got rid of our cushioned outdoor furniture as keeping it dry in Alaska was a never-ending battle. My hubby built Adirondack style benches with 2x4s based on some I saw on Old World Garden Farm's blog. They've served us well for a few years now and we leave them out year-round. I just add outdoor throw pillows in the summer and can toss them in the wash if they get dirty.

Love using both sides of a picture or sign with different themes!!! Never thought of doing it…❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️ ⭐️ STRAIGHT OUTTA TEXAS

Ah beautiful, specially at night, please post when there's snow. God bless.

So very lovely.... it's always good to use what the Lord provides so abundantly!

Love how you incorporate nature into your decorating. Decorating on a budget. Hope YOU are having a wonderful day as you always make your viewers have a wonderful day after watching your videos!

The porch is beautiful. I just love how you can cut a few branches and make your decorations. The artificial ones are so expensive.

Very simple touches but wow-it’s such a wonderful transformation. It just looks like a little Christmas cottage with warm cider inside every day in December. Beautiful. I loved the trick with the evergreen sprigs in the large white pot. Love it all

I love the entire porch and its all natural theme. Ive seen more people doing the natural branches in dirt and they last as long or longer than a cut Christmas tree does. We did retire high desert and many pines etc. around us. We dont have any in our yard but I may be able to beg a few branches off neighbors. I may buy a couple potted mini fir trees as I can replant them. Being older we had not done much especially since we bought an extreme fixer! Yep we did that at old age so decorating hasnt been a total forethought in and out for most of last 5 years but we are getting inspired now with only some back yard landscaping needing done. We are even going hang lights in front. Bought 2 small prelit trees for 2 big porch pots at front door step I change up seasonally. We dont have a porch just 3 large brick step ups but we angled out the top corner of yard with river stones to put a bench and large pot on drip system there. The front yard faces East and goes into shade. We cant sit on our covered back porch in afternoon with west sun set and temps 105 for 3 months in the summer! I have large heavenly bamboo in that pot and it gets red berries in winter. Have several around the yard. They tolerate heat and cold. We are at 4,000 feet. It snows one week here but really cold for a couple months. Sages do well too so I have lavendar and Rosemary. So hard to figure out what wont die with extremes. But I was just picturing looking at your porch doing more to that corner too. I may put a Christmas type sign or wreat leaning on the bench. Maybe some other potted Fir trees. Or a silk poinsettia! .Im moving from only sewing to crafting now. Still practicing my painting skills!

Morning glories are a pain, I’m all for simple these days. Love the videos!

I love the way you stop to pet the cat. Too cute. Love your simple, pretty porch.

I love how open and airy everything looks. Fresh and clean too!

Mary the Lord really blessed you with lots of talents. I have learned so much from u. Everything looks so simple to do and now I can do this too. I too have Christmas 🎄 on my property. Oh, by the way

My favorite part is the beautiful garland that you made. It’s all just lovely.

Sad to see you get rid of the morning glories, they are so beautiful! LOVE all the natural elements that you used. Hate when I see fake pinecones for sale when everyone used to go out and collect them. WOW!! This came out beautiful!!! So cozy!

So beautiful. Ohio is such a pretty state..I was raised there, now, living in Florida I miss the winters. The snow and trees are so beautiful. All of the natural finishes and tree trimming are so pretty!

I'm doing what comes easy this year with decor. It doesn't matter if I use every decor piece I own or not as long as the house looks festive. I love decorating my foyer tables and mantles and adding white feather boas to give things that snowy, wintery effect.

Your cat definitely does a great job supervising

Oh Mary, I wish I had even a quarter of your energy and vision. Your work is just amazing!

I love your style of decorating using natural foraged items

I have a tree on my front porch I tie it to the porch railing and a heavy wicker couch on the other side because the wind will blow it down.🌲

I always prefer seasonal decor as well. I love winter here in N. IL. COZY time!☃️

Morning Glories are my favorite flower I just love them

Mary, I have made my own garland for at least 30 years. Yours looks so beautiful.

Love the simple winter decorating ideas! Go inside and get warm!! 🥰

Mary, you always do a fabulous job! Hands of gold! It is with much love and respect that I want you to know that the name of the plants that come back every year is perennials and not pre-annuals. Being a gardener and perennials specialist, I want to share that correction. 💝

we love that 30 second cleaner!!! Only thing that works to clean our siding and our outdoor brick pathway and firepit!

May I give you a Little Tip? When you plant your Morning Glory Seeds, plant an equal amount of Moon Flower with them. During the day you have the beautiful Blue Flowers and at night you have the luminous White blooms of the Moon Flowers. It puts on a feast for the eyes. Hope you will try it this next year. God Bless, Cathleen

Such a beautifully decorated porch. Love how you use nature to decorate, so pretty.

Very nice, especially at night all lit up!!!

Simple and cozy..just what the Holidays are about. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Everything is beautiful! What an enjoyable space. Good decision on the garlands for the pillars. They frame this scene perfectly.

I love all your natural elements with pops of red! My favorite!

Love you porch love all the greenery

It looks amazing Mary. Always love what you do.

Winter wonderland comes to life. Gorgeous 💕💕💕💕💕💕🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Very nice! I never envy those pillows on patios with no roof.

SO Christmassy Mary , it looks so cosy , and all your hard work and splendid ideas , thank you for you Mary , nice to see your neice and one of the fur babies

Every time I watch your porch videos I'm so totally amazed at your talent. It's absolutely beautiful.

Hey Mary! The porch looks great, and you didn't have to buy anything, cause you had it all right there in the yard! Stay safe, and tfs! Much 💚, Dorothy

Ohh, I enjoyed every second of his video! The red plaid is the perfect touch tying in the berries and Christmas cheer! You shared so many great ideas, Mary! Thank you for always being such a ray of brightness and hope, good friend❣️💚❣️

I love that you used natural elements that you had on hand to decorate & make your place look homey & green when fall & winter is so brown & grey. I'm wondering how long the Evergreen cuttings will last. And gurrrrl those windows were shining!

Your porch is lovely and inviting.

Thanks Mary I love the swag with the bells on the door ❤ Karen from Port Macquarie NSW Australia 🇦🇺

Cat in the tree bag HILARIOUS!!

I do winter too. It will take me into spring without redoing it. 🌲❄️

I love all your touches with the spruce and pine branches. It looks so cozy and inviting. You need to grab a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle up on the swing!!

Mary you are so talented. I just love how you decorate .I think your Christmas decorations are my favorite. May the Lord be with you and your family these holidays. Always enjoy your videos.

I’ve used that cleaner for a few years. I, also found, it cleans white lampshades great.

Absolutely beautiful

You always inspire me with your lovely decorating videos. You make everything look so cozy and inviting.

Everything is so naturally festive! I love it.❤🌲🌲🌲

Love ,Love it all. I love to decorate outside like natural. Love the pillows

The night view is gorgeous

Watched with the closed captions on. They said your seamstress is called Dracula! Unusual 😁

I did the garland a few years back. It was alot of work but it did come out so beautiful. I'm loving everything your doing. I was hoping to finish decorating outside this passed weekend but,pouring cold rain won. So run around this week before dark and finish.

You always do such a wonderful job on your porch Mary. I love all the natural environments.

The porch is so cozy and beautiful. God Bless you and your family this Christmas season.

Oh Mary I just love love love what you’ve done with your porch!! You do such an amazing job!! I love how you use what you have around you!! You have giving me such inspiration to do my porch!! ❤

Love the simplicity and freshness of your porch the plaid pillows are gorgeous it looks so cozy beautiful space!!!!

Hi Mary! Your porch looks so relaxing! I love all of your simple elements that you repurposed from your yard! The greenery with the plaid and your beautiful signs make your porch look so inviting. I too live in Northeast Ohio and we sure were blessed with those 70 degree days a few weeks ago! You did a wonderful job Mary and I love it! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Love the garland. Wish I had pine trees! One tip.....start your wire wrapping going the other direction.

I love 30 Seconds. It also cleans decks!!

Mary your porch looks lovely. Great idea to use what you have available from your garden. Glad that cleaner worked well for you.

Mary ,the porch turned out beautiful. I love all the touches of nature. So pretty 🎄

had my grand daughter over and she cleaned porch and I was clipping greenery decorating same as you...minutes before I watched this

Yes that cleaner is a version of “Wet and forget ” It’s awesome

Love the simplistic of this transformation & can be used for the season not just a holiday also like using what you have such as the greenery.

👏🏼You did a beautiful conservative job. I was looking for ideas for a wintery porch and you gave me some. I have always love setting the scene. Thank You

Breathtaking…as is everything you create! Everything you lay your hands on results in perfection! ❤

Your cat cracks me up. So curious 🐱🐈

Your porch turned out so lovely. I love watching your videos, they are so relaxing and peaceful

I love my Amish made outdoor furniture. It is comfortable without cushions but easily dressed up with a pillow or two. I leave the furniture out all year long and it is doing well.

Your front porch is always stunning! Can't wait to see inside and the cottages this year!!!
