Thank you! I’m hoping my Gilmore Girls friends and autumn fans will enjoy it.

There is something so nostalgic and fun about a striped beach tent.

Thank you for your kindness, Sally. I'm so glad that you find joy in my simple videos. I hope you find a fun tent for yourself. If you search for "beach tent" online I'm sure you will find some fun options to choose from. This one is for the beach, but I think it's also perfect for picnic season. I'm looking forward to more picnics in the spring.

Thank you! I enjoy your description of PEI. We loved our visit to the island. Matt hasn’t read the books, but he has an appreciation for the films and the Anne With an E series. He noted that the heritage center was like a sports hall of fame, but for book lovers. I already miss the quiet countryside and all the hidden beaches. I hope to return again.

Thank you, Jill! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Prince Edward Island was beautiful and I hope to go back. It is a very rural island and perfect for nature lovers and introverts. As an Anne of Green Gables fan, I know you would love it.

I missed out on a lot of great books growing up, but I figured it's a good thing because I can still read them now and enjoy the magic. I have quite a few on my list. Maybe I should share some in a video this year. I really enjoyed Anne's bright optimism and her adventures (and misadventures). I have a feeling you'll really enjoy it. Happy reading!

The houses there were a dream. All the pretty wallpapers. I used to rent a very old home and I miss the charm of an older house. It felt very much like the Anne of Green Gables I imagined.

I hope you enjoy it! It’s a bit different than my usual posts and extra long, but I wanted to share it all in one slow travel vlog.

@ I absolutely LOVED this video!!

Thank you so much! I’m so happy you liked it. It’s a little different from my usual videos, but I loved making it. I’m afraid my next few videos will be boring in comparison. lol.

@@livelovely I’ll still be watching whatever you post haha! ❤️

@@Beanbugging Thank you for your support! I'm making big career changes this year and I'm hoping to post more consistently. In the spring I plan to be more intentional with how I film.

Thank you. It's perfect for this room. I'm so happy I went for a bigger rug to fill the space.

Thank you so much! I'm happy to be sharing again.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to sharing the whole trip soon. I can see why L. M. Montgomery was so enamored with her home island. It is such a pretty place to explore. I felt some of what I imagine Anne must have felt entering the island for the first time.

@ Can’t wait to see more of your trip. 🥰🌊🐚♥️

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Little Women is such a lovely story.

Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. Merry Christmas!

Hi Mary, thank you! I promise to post more soon. My current job does not lend much free time. Making big changes this new year so I can return to more of what I love. I have some videos from late summer through now that I am working on and will share them soon.

It is usually the weekend after Thanksgiving, but does change some years.

Love it! Gus and Gary would be friends. I think Gary might need a new name though. lol. Or she can still be Gary.

@@livelovely Haha Gary is so cute though!

The rug was a gift from a neighbor and I love how whimsical it is. The rug is the Menagerie rug by Rifle Paper Co. I adore the Rifle Paper Co designs.

Thank you! The cottage is really starting to feel like home now. I found the strawberry set from a company named Lang at Homegoods and I'm obsessed with everything strawberry or lemon. Thank you for your kindness and for visiting.

I'm so happy to hear that. The thought can be daunting and sometimes I feel like putting it off (and I do!). It has felt good to at least start. Already I'm feeling more clear and less stressed.

I might add bear spray to my bike basket.... lol

@@livelovely 😂 good idea!

Aww, thank you! <3 I started using Epidemic Sound for my music and I'm trying to choose joyful sounds in the hope that it makes people feel good.

@@livelovely Great choice! I also use them in my videos. They have such a lovely selection

Thank you for being so kind! I sometimes play videos on RUclips to have some background noise too. I really appreciate you. <3 I had to look up Stardew as I have not heard of it and now I want to play. It looks like such a fun game.

Mary, the bookstores in Concord really are amazing. I love a cozy New England book shop. I brought home quite a few books during my visit last autumn. I'm so glad you had a nice adventure too.

Thank you for your kindness, Nnyji. I can definitely be very hard on myself. I think it comes from having to be a perfectionist and always cleaning in my childhood. But life does happen and it gets messy sometimes. Living in a van sounds lovely, but I'm sure it comes with a set of challenges. It does feel good to clear the clutter and tidy up. But I am also learning not to be mean to myself. I think that going through clothing can be triggering. I definitely would have kept some of the items I donated if I knew I could fit back into them. I'm still doing some tidying at home and focusing on not getting too carried away by perfectionism. I love that you have a little Bombay kitty too. My black cat's name is Madeleine. She is a sweet sensitive little soul. <3

@@livelovely understandable! Triggers are definitely different and much harder to work through. You are taking the appropriate steps for yourself ☺️ my cat is named Mr. Pickles! They are the sweetest!

@@Beanbugging Little by little. I love your cat's name! My neighbor's cat is named Pickles. She is also a black cat.

Hi Scott, I apologize for the late reply. I had replied earlier, but for some reason it did not publish. Thank you for your kindness and encouragement. I love your ideas. I definitely plan on bringing more plants into this pace. It is feeling a bit empty right now, but I am just getting started. I like your windowsill idea, but unfortunately I'm just a tenant so we repaired it to how it should be for the house owner. I would like to put in a couple shelves though. I enjoy the tea pot display idea. I'm thinking some kind of little shelf that can display a couple, maybe even something with some tea cup hooks. Our budget is tiny, especially after tax season, but I am having a fun time thrifting items and shopping for this space when I can. Hopefully it will be all finished by summertime. Thank you for being here.

That sounds like the most beautiful experience. I loved my visit and learning about the orchard as well. It felt magical seeing how Louisa had lived with her family at Orchard House. I have not been to the 2019 film locations or Emily Dickinson's home, but they are on my wish list! I also hope to make it to Edith Chase's house this summer in Massachusetts. So many wonderful authors in American History lived there. A few days after seeing Orchard House I visited Nathaniel Hawthorn's home in Salem, MA. So many wonderful literary adventures. I hope to visit Concord again soon. Your bookshop experience sounded lovely. The town is beautiful for a day trip or a weekend away. Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures around Concord. <3

Thank you of your kindness and encouragement, Jamie! You are a positive force in the world. I didn't know that you also love vintage plates! The hutch is the hub of our little home right now. lol. We did get a lot of snow, but sadly a bunch of it rained away the other night. I'm wishing for more snow this winter.

Thank you! I really like how it came out. The cats were having a grand time watching me set it up. There around about 5 Trader Joe's in my state, but all of them are an hour or over away. lol. I make a special drive once every other month or so for my favorite food and treats. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

I love your ornament tradition, especially something that represents a meaningful moment of the year. That’s a fabulous tradition. My husband also loves the penguin ornaments. I was so surprised to see how much the cost of these dishes went up. It makes me a little sad because they used to be more accessible for families. They were a little expensive when I started collecting, but I was lucky to find some at Hone Goods. It took me almost five years to collect the set. Hopefully one day we will see more available to thrift.

Thank you, Maria! I appreciate you being here.

I am so grateful for nature. We live in a beautiful world <3 With all that is going on around the world right now, I am thankful for the reminder. Sometimes it is so easy to focus on the bad and forget the good.

That sounds beautiful! I know they take quite a while for fruit to grow so I was happy to find these ones already here. I have a lot of work ahead of me planting my own mini orchard one day.

Thank you! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!

I’m so glad that you enjoyed this video and the candles 💗

I always enjoy our adventures together! I am so thankful we became friends.

Thank you for the positive encouragement! 🥰

Thank you. I am very happy renting here. I feel very grateful.

❤ Thank you for watching my videos.

​@@livelovelyI'm here for the first time, at your place! You guys are cute! It was nice to see you and your family! Thank you very much for the fun and lovely movie from you! I warmly welcome you and your family, Paul from Hungary

Thank you! This is one of my favorite autumn dresses. Unfortunately, it was a fast fashion buy about five years ago. I don't buy the brand anymore because I try my best to be sustainable, but I am happy rewearing it as much as possible.

It is the cutest little town to explore for a day. The walking trails are amazing too. It was a chilly day so I had to layer up with my favorite fall blazer. The Cider Mill Coven is a cute book. I'll be honest that I had a really hard time getting into it and it was slow going at some points and it reads more like a YA novel, which I was not expecting. However, I love the plot and I met the author who is very sweet and so creative. This book is her love letter to autumn in New England.
