When I was a 20something single mother, I chose to set my morning alarm to give me time to "just stare at things." Hearing your discussion gives me understanding of why I did that as an overwhelmed person. And I love that you've rebranded it as an intentional act of self care. You two are FABULOUS ❤❤

I miss my grandparents! Both of my grandfathers served overseas in WWII. I believe the war brought out the resilience of everyone affected. As a child (growing up in the 70s and 80s), I loved the warmth and security of being in their homes, which were “old fashioned” homes. They did not have much in the way of modern amenities of the time. What they did have, they kept for a very long time. They were hardworking. They were thankful. They were joyful. I miss them so much.

I love this! Diane is amazing! I think part of her appeal,beyond being amazing, is that at least for us Gen X'ers, a lot of us spent a great deal of our time with our Grandparents. She reminds me of my own Grandma that I lost when I was in high school. Listening to her makes me think of my Grandma. To all of those who know her in reality, I hope they always make her feel like the absolute treasure that she is. You've got a new sub here. ❤️

I just found you last night, the algorithm gods sent you, I believe! I watched a few of your videos about your vintage home and then I came upon this one. Chubby Vintage Nana could be an older, and younger, version of my Nana! My Nana wasn't related to me she was my babysitter. She had long white hair that she kept up in a bun, and I only got a look at it when I stayed one night at her house. I remember being amazed that it was so long, and I watched her brush it with fascination. She had lost at least one son in WWII, and the aesthetic of her home was probably from that era. Mind you, I was maybe seven at the time I'm remembering, and I am now 61, so I'm probably not much younger than Chubby Vintage Nana. I, too, love all things old, and it just occurred to me that my Nana might have been a bigger influence than I previously realized. Now I will go check out Chubby Vintage Grandma!

Say it sisters! We admire the fortitude and community spirit of the people from the 1920s-1940s era. Last year I found out that Winston Churchill had secretly set up psychiatric hospital provision because he expected the civilians to have mental collapse during the bombings. I was astonished to find there was not one admittance to hospital! There were 17 year olds working as volunteer fire men and first aiders being up all night during a bombing then going to their usual day job in the morning. I do believe that people back then has a strength and resilience that most modern day people seem to lack, and I include myself in this.

Totally agree. My mother was on fire watch every night during the blitz in the East End. One night her home was bombed and her mother and sister were killed. Her father said “ Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do” Amazingly they just all carried on! That indomitable spirit stayed with her until she died at 106 but it was quite hard for our generation to match her high standards. We are more emotional and easier led.

Oh my. My grandfather was born in 1895, his wife in 1897, other side was Nannie in 1900 and her husband... who knows, long gone, (missing not dead), by the t I came along. I miss my grandfather out of all of them. He actually seemed to like me somewhat. I wasn't a bother to him. I actually can't finish watching this. I'm missing something I've never had and it's kinda hard. Hugs Hannah, not your problem/fault. This just hits too close and sharp.

This one thought has helped me many times: a daisy is not a rose. A sunflower is not a peony. A viola is not an orchid. Stop comparing. „Each flower is BEAUTIFUL and has its own place in the Garden. „ It’s not difficult to appreciate the loveliness of nature. It’s not difficult to see the sparkle in a friends eye or the gorgeousness of her spirit. Let’s do that more, and appreciate all the pretty in each of us. And apply it to include ourselves. Stop the pressure. Live a joyfilled life ❤

It truly felt like I was having a nice sit down chat with dear friends. I love all the topics & questions that were discussed. I wish I could have a chat over coffee with the two of you every Sunday morning! This was the first episode of your podcast that I have watched & I can’t wait to watch more! I know one thing is certain, I will definitely be watching this particular episode many times again!

I am 62 & my Grandpaw was born in 1898!!! I wish I had asked him so, so may questions. But I was lucky enough to know all of my grandparents & 2 of my great grandparents. Also, talking about people being mean about how you dress. I think it's because you both dress nice. I feel it has nothing to do with the vintage style as much as it is for taking your time, putting on a pretty dress. And these ladies don't. I learned years ago to dress for myself, just like you beautiful ladies also do.

This is my "sit and breath" listen for the day. I'm so inspired by folks like you both. I'll get there. As to those that are negative at you (whoever is reading this) It's fear. They are afraid - like a hurt animal - so they lash out. Or like the "stranger danger" thing. You are strange to them and must be driven out to remain "safe". It's also self-esteem. If they can bully/convince others to live the same way they do then they finally "know" they made the right choices & can be "happy".

I am so glad you made this particular podcast, having invited Diane. I really like Diane and her content. Thank you also so much Diane for your presence on instagram, and for taking the time to participate in this podcast! You are succesful on the internet because you live what you tell us. You do use your sit and stare time to truly see the beauty, feel the warm cup of coffee, be totally in the here and now at that moment. You ARE genuinely.kind. You DO experience inner peace. You ARE comfortable with who you are, maybe not all of the time but most of the time. And that all makes you so genuine and makes your videos peaceful and kindness flows out of them, as does acceptance. You also understand so well what helps you, what gives you peace. And i understand now much better why you dont post a video every day anymore. I was a bit upset about that for a while, cause i am autistic, which i only found out when i was almost 58. Since i was 35 I got 2 major, lasting years and years. Last year, 2023, was the best year of my life, mental health wise. Most of my adult life i was depressed and had panic attacks often. I recognised a lot in what you told us about your life and sit and stare time. But i never had kids. You did, and it must have been hard on you, very hard, when you were a single parent with 5 children, and provide for them all while working a job as well. I never married nor had children because i have 6 sisters and 3 brothers and i am the youngest of all of my siblings and i love children. But i was 10 when there children were born in less than 18 months, all first borns, to 3 of my sisters. I was already an aunt but with these 3 i was very much involved. I went to one or two if then part of summer holidays. I lived playing with them, caring for them, even changing poopy smelly diapers. But i knew somehow i needed lots of alone time, and at age 22 i got the feeling i would never marry and i would therefore not ever have a child because i knew i could not have a job AND be a good parent. Marriage is not easy and several sisters and two brothers had difficulty being married. I observed that. I think most of us are neurodivergent. My mom was certainly autistic, in hindsight. My parents were born in october 1919 and may 1920 so they were teenagers in the 1930s, married when they were both 21 in 1942, when the Netherlands were occupied by the Germans, and they lived until 1948 with either my da's parents or my mom's parents. They had 4 children under 5 in 1948, when my dad got a job in another much smaller town, and the were able to find an apartment above a shop. Their first home as a family. I know a lot about the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, because of the music my dad and mom loved, some of their books they got in their youth, and because i was always interested in how people lived. I asked my mom a lot about her youth, my dad far less because he worked many hours. I read books from these times and my mom loved movies from that time so we watched those often. My sisters and brothers were teenagers in the late 50s and early 60s and I was born in 1962. So they played music from the 60s and i remember lots of tv series from the sixties. We lived in a street where a lot of the houses were build for large families, more than 4. We had 5 bedrooms, one bathroom without a toilet an only a sink and a shower, one toilet downstairs, a kitchen and a living room. The only room with heating was the living room😂. So we all gathered there for most of the year, from late september till the beginning of may. We had some very cold winters then. War time in the continent was different from war time in the UK. But the UK did suffer so much. So so much. Even after the war was over.
