fun fact about the letterpress drawers: the top drawer would have the capital letters, and the bottom would have the small letters, which is why we now use the words "uppercase" and "lowercase" for letters ☺

Now what we need is a Rachel paper doll set. Match bubble wrap dress with pumpkin head! Or disco mirror dress with frog boots… and pumpkin head!

"Random stuff that makes me happy" is a perfectly valid 'theme' or aesthetic for a room. ❤

Not-make video ideas:
1. top 5 favorite things in your house
2. Top 5 used things in your house
3. 3 things in your house with the most interesting or loved backstories

You should display all of the old portraits in frames going up your stairs. Pretend they are ancient relatives and make up names and eccentric and odd personalities and crazy stories about things they did in life.

Loved learning that spats are actually "spatterdashes" !! 😄 The reason most antique clothing doesn't fit is because it didn't fit anyone back when it was new, so no one wore it, so it lasted a long time, unloved and unused, and ended up in an antique store for modern day peoples to surmise "how tiny eveyone was in the past!"

[beckerderbacker]

That old lady could never have imagined being viewed by 1000s and 1000s of people through video sent all over the world through wires and signals!

The Gunne Sax dress. THE GUNNE SAX DRESS. I GASPED. When you pulled it out and then it on you! Pure perfection. Made my 1985 Anne of Green Gables heart so happy.

Not Rachel talking about "Hearkening back to the channel's routes." Then wearing the exact same hat in the channel picture!

[Missyshenanigan]

Anne Shirley would be OBSESSED with the puff in those sleeves

[bangie]

I've been watching this channel for so long, that when I say "I love you" to my hubby when I'm off to work, my brain automatically finishes with: "whether you're old or new to the channel. I upload every other Friday, and we have fun here." 😂😂😂

[reizak]

Oh, the references to Anne of Green Gables make me so happy! Love that series.

[missvioletnightchild]

RACHEL THAT GUNNE SAX DRESS IS The rest is really cool too, I love the portrait and the little chest of drawers

[ShanaH]

That Gunny Sack dress even has the puff sleeves that Anne would have wanted! ❤

[jems.crafting.closet]

Omg that paper doll just transported me back to my childhood. Suddenly I am six years old, sitting on the scratchy yellowish carpet of my parents' living room which smells like dust and pipe tobacco, meticulously folding the little tabs over her delicate shoulders.

That index/apothecary drawer thing -- SHO SHECKSHY

And that gunnysack dress -- I'm sorry, you ARE Anne of Green Gables, I have diagnosed you, terminally adorable, there is no cure

This was fun. Much as I love your make-stuff videos, it is nice to see a showcase of cool stuff now and again and just bask in the aesthetic.

Have a lovely weekend <3

As a near lifelong collector of paperdolls and a several year viewer of this channel, I cannot tell you what joy it brings me to finally see you bring paperdoll content to youtube. Trying on each outfit for us to admire while old timey music plays. Perfection.

Nothing cures depression like Maksy Fridays!!!

[FaultAndDakranon]

Reminder! Serotonin is not the 'happy' chemical, it is the chill out chemical. Dopamine is the 'happy' chemical.

Serotonin helps you calm down.
If you are sad or upset all the time, it makes that emotion smaller, which is why SSRIs are a thing for depression and anxiety. And also why they don't work for everyone. Sometimes it is the lack of 'happy' that's the problem, not the presence of 'sad'.
Super happy doesn’t balance super sad... it just means you spend more time at an extreme of emotion.

Once when I was younger I bought a snake's head cane from an antique store purely because it was AWESOME. And it brought me lots of joy 😊

[calmtocraft]

I’ve been buying and selling antiques for lots of years now and can tell you that haggling is expected. The price is set in such a way that the seller expects you the buyer will offer half of that. Then a common thing for seller to come back and say is - I’ll meet you in the middle. So for example, if the seller prices something at $60 you, the buyer would then offer $30 and the seller would meet you in the middle at $45. The seller is actually getting the price they wanted and feel is fair and the buyer feels like they’re getting a deal. Everyone walks away happy 😊
