Our last etiquette video was a big hit! So many of you tuned in to hear our response to your etiquette conundrums. Ben and I are back today with a video answering your private etiquette conundrums.



When I put out the call for you to send us your stories and questions, I mentioned that you could email me privately through my author website if you wished to remain anonymous in the video. I was surprised to see that I had no emails (I normally receive a notification when I receive a web site message). A few days passed and I decided to check the website internally. I had so many emails from you that it broke the system!

*Please note: I have been receiving so many emails that I am not always able to respond. Please know that I love receiving your emails and read every one!

So today, we are responding to your private etiquette queries. Everyone in this session will remain anonymous. I hope you enjoy our answers. As always, we love to hear from you! Please chime in with your input in the comment section below. Your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.

I hope you enjoy today's video.

Nu aš ne tokia šauni, kaip jūs ir ne taip greitai skaitau, tai tik pirmoji perskaityta knyga šiais metais. Skaitėsi ji man labai lėtai, gal dėl to, kad knyga nebuvo tokia įdomi kaip tikėjausi. Pirmiausia aš perskaičiau Jennifer L. Scott knyga "Madam elegancijos pamokos..." (antra foto), ji buvo labai įdomi ir įtraukianti, tada kažkodėl ėmiausi šitos, nors turiu ir dar vieną šios autorės knygą. Skaitydama sužinojau, kad tai trečioji, paskutinė jos parašyta knyga ir skaitant visada kilo mintis, kad tai jau kažkur skaičiau... visa tai sukėlė tokį jausmą, lyg autorė jau nebeturi ką pasakyti. Bet pabaigiau iki galo, nesinorėjo padėti nepabaigtos 😊 o dabar paėmiau į rankas Erikos Umbrasaitės "Prancūzija mon Amour", pradžia atrodo įdomi 😉 kas iš jūsų skaitė šią Jennifer L. Scott knygą, ką manot? . #2019skaitau #jenniferlscott #madamelegancija #books #glutenfree #cake #food #foodlover #bookslover #kaunas #lietuva #knyga #knygos #baltijoskvapai #candle #winter #hygge #lagom #prancuzija #france #paris

And, this is random, but I love your hangers (seen when you show the dark blue dress). They're so pretty!"

Thank you! I love that the Chic Assignment motivated you to continue clearing the clutter in your wardrobe!

I would love to hear your thoughts on the etiquette matters discussed in today's video. Thanks for your support. Ben and I truly enjoy doing this series!

I'll see you on Wednesday for a Londontown spring swatching video.

Thank you to everyone who sent in requests for today's etiquette video. I received hundreds of comments and letters through the blog, YouTube, social media and my contact form on the author website. Clearly the topic of modern etiquette resonates with so many people. You would not believe the stories we read! I have enough material for an entire year :) Ben and I could not address each question, but answered a variety of conundrums in today's video.



How do you handle the houseguest who is perpetually on their smartphone? What do you do when your theatre experience is sabotaged by a fellow audience member? What's the etiquette for grooming oneself in public? What should you say to a pregnant lady? How do you handle dogs at the dinner table? Is the wave of courtesy extinct? Find out our answers to all of these questions plus much, much more.

On today's episode of The Clueless Gardeners, we visit my sister and her family to pick avocados.



Now, you'll notice that these avocados look spectacular. They are large and juicy, and I just want to reassure you that we (The Clueless Gardeners) had nothing to do with growing these amazing specimens. (We are clueless after all.)



My sister and brother-in-law were fortunate to inherit these beautiful trees when they purchased their home recently. We all sure had fun picking the avocados and enjoying time together. I hope you also enjoy today's video.

Now as for this picture of Mr. Connoisseur and me...



Would you say we're more Green Acres?



or American Gothic?



What say you?
