This is the best way to view things. When people speak of the good old days, or how things used to be, they are talking about losing the good things we once had. We have made so much progress in ending bad things, but have lost too many wonderful things. Old ways are not all bad. Embrace the good of all eras.

THIS. I completely adore her and this example of bringing the best parts of the past up to the future. I aspire to do this maybe not to this degree because I do like an updated kitchen look but the clothing style absolutely. The durable appliances absolutely. The skill set and principles to restore rather than waste absolutely.

I think it's also about choosing the best of the past and the best of today. Too many people glorify everything about today and miss all the beauty and lessons of times and generations passed and other people glorify the past and hate today. There is good and bad in both. So strange so few people seem to understand that.

You go girl! I’m just about to turn 77 and I am keeping my past present. I was blessed enough to grow up in the 50s. I still make all my own clothes and I cook from scratch. My house is covered with doilies. I knit socks and I make lace. I still sew on my grandmother’s sewing machine. And don’t forget Jell-O salads! and I have passed on everything I know to my precious granddaughter who loves what I have taught her. No polyester clothes from China made with single needle sergers here. No sweatpants, no hoodies, and no big clunky tennis shoes.

I think people mix aesthetics and culture too much, yea they do rely on each other, but they can be separated. I dig medieval stuff that doesn’t mean I’ll duel someone to death to secure my families honor. This also applies to people following aesthetics as some tend to romanticize the past too much. The whole beauty in following those trends now is that your not held back by societal pressure back then and that you’re following these things because you want to and not a needing to fit in. It also glosses over the very messed up things that occurred back then that shouldn’t be ignored. Some people use past aesthetics by mixing them with culture to push their traditional values onto others which is why I follow you because you always make it clear you don’t.

This! Other homemaker type channels with a historical aesthetic are political or push that being a "traditional" wife means we go to the same mindset as back then, where women weren't even trusted to have a credit card w/o a husband. They push ideals of back then, like the mindset that women should be subservient to a man, or they still hold onto far worse historical beliefs that should be left in the past. I love that this channel sticks to the joyful aspects of the past and doesn't tell the viewer they're not good wives and women for choosing to _NOT_ live this way in their own lives.

The problem is no one wants to take the time anymore for true craftsmanship and vision and you can see the social fall from that. You and your family make the most of your free time as creative time and an amazing lifestyle is the result! Your children are also learning and being loved in the best way!
