I have a request: Can you show me the art on your wall again, and share some tea about them?
Amazing Julie many congratulations on passing with distinction. So enjoy your videos in the UK and in Italy!
Congratulations 🥂
It’s quite emotional listening to AI Alberta ❤
Julie – be careful that you don't wear yourself out! X
I think this is a great idea
You are such a great video hostess! Name for the flea market/antique store suggestion – Mapp-Not-A-Ton. A play on Mapperton and advertising that you're being price conscious for the buyer.
My heartfelt congratulations Julie! Your accomplishments over the years have been inspirational and energizing. You are a natural wonder. Graduating with distinction is no easy feat but no surprise as you’ve worked with such dedication, diligence, and passion. My heart bursts with happiness for you💗
The antique sideline would be a lot of fun and quite educational so I hope that works out. Clearly you have meditated to the point of controlling time hence giving you more than 24 hours in a day😉
I’ve had to pause my fave channels that require my full attention (not watch/listen in background) so I’ve much to catch up on with all things Mapperton and can’t wait. I’ve missed all the adventures but life is steadying now so the binging will commence soon 🎉
Again, congratulations Julie. You’re a dynamo ❤
Awwww what amazin g news!!! Go you!
Congratulations on the MA! 🙂
Congratulations! You deserve all the accolades for your hard work! You not only gave Alberta a voice, but also found your own voice!
We have a family museum in Texas. Nothing as elaborate as your beautiful home but relatively simple. I would love to know what you are using for your AI programming?
Congratulations, Julie on your MA
Congratulations! 👍❤️🌹
Love the antiques content idea Julie…. looking forward to it. xxx
One more spoke Huh? Your truly a Mad Woman❤❤😂😂
Congratulations on your MA with Distinction!!!! That is an amazing accomplishment considering all the other things you were doing at the same time!!!!
Holy cow! I never thought an AI character could bring tears to my eyes, but that's exactly what happened when Alberta said she was proud of you. Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment!
Thank you for all of your content Countess Montagu! I know you have a team, but still, it seems a lot to do and it's really valuable.
Ohh be still my heart ❤. Your wisteria is fantastic! I love it.
Congrats!!!!!!🎉😊
Congratulations on all your achievements. I especially loved the conversation with Alberta and I think it will give people something to think about. I hope it will help others to reach out to those who in the past occupied the same spaces or had the same experiences. Keep up the good work!
👏🇨🇦how exciting
Looking forward to it!! Let's do it 🥰 And, congratulations!!
Yay Julie!!🎉 I love these new directions! It is everything that i love!! This will be fun!!!
I have been watch you and Luke since, well, forever and I am so in love with everything you do! If I vould just have half of your energy!!💙🤗
Congratulations Julie! Such a lot of work paying off and not sure where in the world you find the time! As far as the antiques, sounds dreamy. My personal dream was to have a shop I would call "Hidden Treasures", not the most original but we all love treasures to be discovered!💗You will succeed no matte what is called! Good luck!
Oh my goodness! This is profound and groundbreaking! It reminds me of Cheryl Page 's book, Mystic Richness, Inspirational Letters from Visionaries Beyond the Veil. Thank you, thank you. I adore this!
Huge congratulations! Seriously, how do you do it all, so many fantastic plans & projects😅? Do find your story inspiring. I'm building up my yoga business after recovering from chronic pain and your story lifts me up❤. I have a huge love for the UK and it's history, so hopefully one day I can organise a yoga retreat near your place! Love from the Netherlands
Wonderful! You could call it Julie's Jumble Shop.😁
Congratulations on the completion of your Masters!
I love that you are preserving all this wonderful history.
Love all that you do.
I vote for Stable block!!!
Congrats!!
What? Who said that brown furniture goes out of fashion? Brown furniture helps with of the color that goes within the room and to tone bit of the overwhelming white color or bit of the popping color.
Congratulations Julie. Well-deserved but not surprising! Looking forward to your next adventure. All the best from a fellow Chicago girl!

Well done Julie! I am so excited for you.
In Dec 2023 I received my MSLS (Master's of Science Library Science) concentration in Local History and Archival Studies… I have been cheering you on as you take on the preservation & conservation in and around Mapperton Including family history.
Congratulations again on an amazing achievement!
Congrats, the future sounds exciring. How about Noble Vintage for the name of your antiques shop at Maperton.
Congratulations, Julie! Well done! You worked hard, and put your heart and soul into this research! I unexpectedly found AI Alberta’s words to you to be very emotional. It felt so authentic, as if we stepped back into the past and heard her speaking to you from the future. Technology is truly a blessing and a burden (in this case a blessing!). Sending love to all from CT, USA! 🇺🇸❤🇬🇧
LOVE this Julie! I can’t wait to shop and restore with you ahhh!
Congratulations Julie! Blessings!

Wow ! Congratulations to you my dear and I love the idea of the antique shop . From 🇨🇦
Congratulations!!!
BRAVA 🎉
I love the sound of your new channel, more personally you!
Oh Julie, huge congratulations on not only achieving your Masters' Degree but passing with distinction. You worked just so, so hard and your deserve all the accolades. Well done xxx
You go girl. Looking forward to seeing your new vlogs.😊 I love your little Italian house series, wish I could see the antique shops you visit, I don’t think I would have luggage space for all the treasures. I love old brown furniture made from New Zealand native timber. Love the wood colours that smell of the beeswax polish I lavish them with. Your shop should be called SECOND CHANCES.😊
All of our interior designers we work with tell us wood is coming back although it never left. ❤
