Thanks to you two for believing in me and taking interest in my life and work — in our life and work.

Wow Jillian…that's amazing! What was it filmed for?
…I suppose…just for the heck of it!!! I'm glad you liked it!
Love, love this! A peek at Mrs. Plume's world. xo
You sound so Canadian!! Makes me homesick! Love it!! <3
We wanted to profile people like Jillian… the way we see it, it's the first of a series, and we've known Jillian for years so she was the ultimate first profile. (She'll be a tough one to match!)
I love the film!!!
I didn't understand a lot but, the images just gave me an exact idea of who you are!!
Warmly
It's exactly how I imagined you would be, sweet girl. Just beautiful.
This little film makes me oh so happy! I could list the reasons why, but it would go on for a long, long time…
xo
Ohhhh this is like a Christmas present 🙂 It is so beautiful to get a peek into your life a bit more I had the biggest grin while watching it, and going "Oh there's Plum! Oh There's Rob!" ha,ha love it so much, you bring light into people's life. Thank you eternally for that 😉
This video is a precious treat for a working Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I, too, use the exclamation point a little excessively:)) Although I am old enough to be your mother I think that we could be wonderful friends. I loved the part of the video, in the van, where you are all squiggly(sp?), and happy.
I just love you little plume!
Oh Jillian!
I'm smiling with tears in my eyes because I miss you so much.
I'm mapping a route and making plans …
Lovely! Thanks for letting us peek in on Plumeville ( :
i fell in love with you all over again.
with you, and:
robert.
penelope.
plumbelina.
farley.
plume gables.
idaho.
to think: i was engaged in just a small snippet of your lives and came home to alaska much richer for the experience!
many thanks to melissa and john for the filming and production.
i LOVE this little video and want a copy just to play for when i feel homesick for my plume-ish friends!

I LOVE IT!!! So great to see you in action. And your studio! *Falling over* Whew! Oh…the no exclamation point on the typewriter… on my Royal, I do shift+8 which gives me a straight apostrophe type thing. Then backspace, and do a period under it 🙂
What an amazing video. Seriously.
Loved and enjoyed watching your film Ms. plume and RW. Now I have even more appreciation why your pieces are so unique and enchanting! You look and sound lovely:x Feri
gasp!
that was just the very best surprise for a saturday morning. your inner beauty radiates on the outside in so many ways. i could never tire of it.
ain't life grand?
"the emphasis that is never put on inner beauty"-loved that line.
you are a wonderful person and I need an excuse to visit, just for a day.
oh, how wonderful! I loved taking a peek into your beautiful personality and life a bit… and i always love hearing people speak, how they speak, their voices, hand gestures, expressions, eyebrows, etc… hooray!
xo
SO lovely!!!
all the facets of YOU!
This was lovely! I am so envious of your life. Keep creating and adventuring and blogging- it's inspiring!
Loved seeing the studio and your thoughts on your work.
the land and house are beautiful.
the dogs are adorable of course!
plum is getting big.
so jealous of your press=)
That's absolutely endearing and wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!! Brooklyn watched it with me and now she wants a baby chick! hehehh
I love you. I just love you so much. Always have. Always will. I know we don't see eachother like EVER but the thing that made me love you in Grade 2 is still there, not sure what it is, but yeah, luv ya. 🙂
wow-wee!
so so lovely, miss jillian.
much love,
-lu
Wow Jillian that was beautiful!
What a treat! It was like watching the movie of a great book you read, and having it all come together splendidly before your eyes 🙂
Congrats on the new website <3
What a beautiful little film! What a beautiful little lady! I'm going to watch it again!
This was beautiful. Simply beautiful and completely inspiring. Your whole world is a dream-land~
And I LOVE the typewriter! I bought a really old one a while ago, but it doesn't work. Yours is so cute! x3
it's like i already knew what you were like before that clip with the way you pour your soul into your words, photographs, and silver.
thanks for the little peek, miss. (and confirming my suspicions that you're just lovely)
What a surprise! Great to virtually follow you-all around, to see everyone in motion–including (maybe especially) the critters. Love the way you spoke of the dogs: "…I love them." Loved how Judith came out to greet you. Loved the walk in the snow and Plum's impulse to check your moss collection. My, how your studio is growing! And that's one fine flick, beautifully shot and edited.
Too too beautiful!!!
Jillian…don't ever let your feet touch the ground….keep soaring and thanks for giving us a peek into your world….very inspiring!
your soul is so wonderful to see and hear 🙂
you are a one-of-a-kind, Jillian !
THAT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!!
(i love your accent, lol)
k
absolutely brilliant…love it;) i want that pink sweater too…teehee. you are delightful.
Just plain perfect!!!!!
What a gorgeous little insight into your beautiful life. GORGEOUS! Thank you so much sharing 🙂

-xo-
It was a real pleasure meeting you 😀
I love the film it was wonderful!
Wondeful and inspi-ring 😉
Quite simply, you rock.
Quintessential: lovely opera rendition singing in your van and playing dress up in stores. I'm so happy to have met you and to know that is truly…YOU.
Nice to (sort of) meet you, Jillian!
I agree with all above, you sure are special, unique and inspiring!
xo
I understand now why you liked my post about contradictions…
What a beautiful film. You are shiny and special and real. Thank you for sharing.
xo,
WHP
love it! and I love your body cavity pieces, they're my favorite.
That was awesome! You are so genuine!
And not to be superficial, but do you always look so cute on jaunts through the woods? The boys and I are usually in the woods every day, but I'm never dressed that well!
Laura (now contemplating my cuteness factor during my forest treks) 🙂
Love it – thanks for the glimpse!
Just like a cbc vignette 😀
xx
I absolutely loved watching this!! What a lovely life you have, very envious, in a good way!
miss you more than ever.
p.s. i'm so glad to have had a glimpse of who you really are…and even gladder that i still have so much to see. love you friend, you're absolutely enchanting in this. of course i love your bright pink lips the most.
…you would. xx
What a great video.So nice to see you in your element. Also loved seeing the doggies!! They are so cute.. I have to ask how do you like having 3? We are thinking about adopting a second pug (I would have 50 if I could 🙂
Love it and love you!
Now, what is that music?? I've been trying to figure it out and it's driving me nutty!!!
Spinning your beautiful magic as always!
Your blog, your friendship is always a soft place for me to fall. Love ya for it.
Smooches xo
Thanks Jillian–lovely landscape, lovely life!
What a great video! We should be non-internet friends. FOR REAL. xoxo
Gawwww…. so good! I love this little peep. <3
You're a sweetheart.
I'm happy we share a country <3
This made me smile such a big, happy smile.
This was so much FUN to watch! (As I'm sure it was to film too!)
Thoroughly enjoyed getting to see you speak and go about your day. I've been following your work for close to a year now after being "introduced" by Kelly Clark. Even after being a regular reader for some time the difference is startling between your written word and the animated presence of yourself on film. Often in your writing you come across far more quiet and introspective. Lovely fun to see and hear your studio and the way you work. Thanks for putting this project together!
The full Jillian experience, haha! That was fun, there's nothing like video to bring things to life. Love your outfits!
xx
Loved this video! I just found your blog and am so happy I did. I agree with you about dogs. My two dogs are my family and sometimes I'd rather just hang out with them than do anything else 🙂
I'm going to go check out your store 🙂
How sweet! 🙂 <3
The filming of this short flick is wonderful, but it's the subject mater that makes it shine!!!!! This is so lovely!~ Enjoyed every minute!
This was put together in a very lovely way. Nice hearing your voice, and seeing you in action in the studio. Very impressed!
this made me tear up a little. thanks for the inspiration & reminders. it's beautiful.
Again, thank you ALL for taking a moment to leave these lovely comments! LOVE having you in my world!
xx
gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! amazing, amazing, amazing. i think i just fell a little more in love with your life and your work!
Urbanite: Gosh!!! xx
This is a delight to watch, I've just come back to view it again…SO fun to see and hear you, and get a glimpse into your world! Amazing production by your very talented friends, everything from the music to the cinematography seems to suit you perfectly…Oh, and that little serenade in Talullah is about the cutest thing EVER! Aloha!
Aloha girl! Snorkel some fishes for me!!! Thanks for watching the film. Come over. I'll take you for a spin in Talulah and sing the happy song in person! xx
After following your blog regularly since you lived in Arizona (around the time you made the Helen earrings, I think they were called?), it is SO cool to see this video of you in action. You are a lovely, creative lady, Jillian! Thanks for sharing!

PGH, PA
Thank you Jaime! xx

braiding your golden tresses…such a delicate
& detailed moment…
XOXO
very very awesome!
thank you for sharing yourself…
This really is great, like this little sneak peak into your world!
this was so fun and uplifting, haven't visited your blog in a while, been under the blanket of winter and gray. You are lovely
ooo i'm so glad i stopped by today!! love, love, love the video!
so nice to hear your voice and i also appreciated the moss harvesting you were doing!! an enchanted forest in your house sounds like a lovely thing. 😉
I just watched the video – fantastic! I'm sad I didn't get to know you better when you were in town at Kohbe's studio last year. But I am enjoying your blog and work. Inspiring!
I know I'm late on watching this… but wow I love this. You are so adorable, and your surroundings are beautiful. Your workshop, your home, the mountains, awesome. Thank you for sharing a part of you!
-Kim
I love this so much. You are even more charming in video and that didn't seem possible then how charming I already knew you to be!
Love watching everywhere you are going. You are an inspiration to me. xo, cbm
What lovely video, so nice to get to know you this way. I’ve only just discovered your blog, but I love your stories. I’ll keep on reading now. All the best from me to you.
