  1. I am so happy that you have found your footing there in Whitmire. It can’t be easy to pick up and move from one neighborhood/city/state/culture/core set of friends to another. I applaud you for doing just that. When I moved a mere 25 minutes from my parents’ home, you would have thought I’d changed hemispheres!

    Blessings to you in all you continue to do as you live your life to the fullest. Whether it’s in Newark or Whitmire…you’ve got this!

  2. I think I have followed you since day one. Love your style, your openness and YOU! However, I did not know you came from New Jersey. I’m from Pennsylvania… close but way on the other side of the state. LOL!

    I enjoy Blogs so much more then IG. The whole Instagram game drives me nuts. Your blog posts come up in my emails and reader. Your IG posts do not come up in my IG “algorythm!” Plus who knows what META is going to do with it.
    So PLEASE keep Blogging… many are coming back to share and are opening their doors into their homes and lives again.

    Happy February!

  3. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are such an amazing writer. I am deeply grateful we have connected through this community. I’ve always felt extremely supported by you and I appreciate that. I love your style; it has such depth and richness. And your passion for thrifting is so contagious 😂
    Hope one day we get to do a thrift shop together

  4. You have a big and brave heart Jamala. Thank you for sharing about your journey and welcoming others into it. I too get excited about thrifting and antiquing and combing different elements in the home. Your home is stunning, definitely a work of art.

  5. Jamala, thank-you for sharing. I subscribed after seeing your home in Flea Mkt. Decor, so missed a lot of your back story. It’s Nice to learn more about you and your lovely family. Yours was the first blog I ever followed, and it remains my all-time favorite.

  6. Hey My Beautiful Mom your journey not over we got more work to do so keep up the great work and keep us focused. And don’t forget about us when you get that TV show

  7. Hey Jamala,
    Everything I’ve seen looks awesome. You are a master at turning something that looks dull into brightness & happiness. Keep doing what you love.

  10. Jamala, it was great learning more about you and your story. It was interesting to see how your style has evolved throughout the years. Your home when you started blogging was fabulous, and now you’ve made it even MORE fabulous! I really admire how you found a way to combine civic duty with your passion for vintage. Such a unique and remarkable opportunity. And of course I loved the Mommy post you linked to. ❤️ Just a big fan of yours! P.S. – Thank you for letting me participate on the blog hop!
