I agree. It is nice to "look after what you have" that's such a nice sentiment. I definitely forget to be appreciative sometimes, but I am very lucky to have the life I have. Thanks for the reminder! I have been in therapy for a while now and it's been amazing! I also signed up for an art class (ceramics) and it's really fun so far.
Art is in the eye of the beholder. We all like different things. Enjoy your creating and be proud of what you achieve. Just try improving and you will have won the battle
Catherine, I thought your braided hair looked beautiful. You didn't need to sort your head out. Also, the drawings of the flowers that you are doing are really very beautiful. I thought your wax jacket looked very nice. I hope you enjoy many dry walks in the rain!
Hi Catherine, your will Power to bring this Barbour Jacket back to life was truly amazing. Seems like the hairdryer played a big part in helping the Wax seep into the material. It looks fabulous now. Yes, maybe a second coat will make it simply stunning. Great idea of taking cuttings from your garden to bring the outdoors indoors, lots of joy and colour to make you smile. X
That must be really frustrating when they are not available in your size, I know some ladies get second hand mens jackets because they prefer the fit of them.
Kudos to you, Girl, for giving that jacket a second life. I love the feeling of a jacket I had forever. It’s just different that breaking in a new one. It looks great, again!
Well done with the Jacket!!!! In Australia we have a wax jacket brand called drizabone, most country workers have them. I love that you gave it a new life❤
Ive been quite down since my mom passed and in caring for her I have not given my garden or greenhouse proper attention. Ive starting to feel better and your videos, where go go about your day with your to do list is helping me get back to my routine.
My mum had a tent made of this material. The adults were in a small sleeping tent and me and my brother slept in the wax tent with all the food and supplies. However, she had not waxed it! so it leaked when it rained and I woke up to be floating around on my airbed with tins of baked beans beside me😂
Aaaah good effort with the wax jacket, well done. The process reminded me of using saddle soap to clean and feed the leather on old jackets, bags and sofas. You think "thats a lot", but the old leather is like " AGAIN" 😂 couple of years ago started counselling as I was having anxiety attacks and was very depressed, it help me to identify my triggers, develop coping strategies and learn to say " no" " not today", " haven't the the capacity ". Good for you Catherine ❤
Well done for persevering with the Barbour jacket. I sent my 20 year old jacket to South Shields uk and it came back like new and it only cost the minimum amount quoted. Yes mine is for walking the dog only as it’s great for walking in the rain I also bought a matching hood too. Your garden looks really pretty 💐
Loved watching this weeks video, and listening to it with headphones on. The rain was making me feel so cozy🤣. You’ve done a fab job with the jacket, well done hun👍🥰 x
@@Beatts113 if you can get a second hand for £20, I would! And then spend to get it re-done professionally, you will still save a fortune compared to buying new x
Thank you for another lovely video Catherine. I will be looking into buying the book, ‘the artists way’ thank you for the review. I’m a sufferer of the rotten anxiety myself so always looking for ways to live gently. Love the Barbour coat on you, such a classic piece x
The jacket suits you! It should be quite useful in the garden as well. Hopefully you will take us on a fall walk, maybe on that lovely trail through the woods again, and show off the jacket styled as you imagined it. Loving all the vases with flowers an the mantle.
I can only imagine how lovely those Sweet Peas smell! 💐 I do think the jacket is looking better after the wax, a second coat may be all it needs. Thanks for sharing your rainy day! 🌧️🌈
Hi Catherine, your wax jacket really turned out amazing 👏. Loved the cozy, hygge rain vibes,this is absolutely my favorite time of year,seeing the cut sunflowers on your mantle reminded me that I have some small sunflowers in my greenhouse that I could cut and take inside 🌻🌻Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦❤
Your framed flower pictures are fantastic , as are the pencil sketches - way to go, you! I am not familiar with waxed jackets, but wow, it sure looks great with its first coat of wax. Also enjoyed the slow dusting and replanting, must do some of that myself! Laurie
Hi Catherine it's always nice to see you repotting in the green house. We are beginning to see the signs of autumn in Michigan definitely my favorite time of year. Have a good week
The coat looks great on you so your commitment to rewaxing it is worth it. The info about the Artist's Way was interesting. I'm having some counselling too and it's helping alot but I really feel that I want to do something creative 😊
You did such a great job on your jacket, and I personally like a bit of a lived in look, it has more personality than a brand new one ! Just me ? it's giving *vintage*
The saga of the waxed coat 😂 I have absolute faith in your power to restore it to its former glory! 🤩 I think thrifting is great for the wardrobe and the planet😍 can't wait to see the next chapter of the saga!
🍂Hi Catherine, you look lovely in the coat. Your hard work is really admirable. Such a lovely home and garden. I love your ‘Irish rains’. Fall is here, quickly sliding in and I’m enjoying it so far. Wonderful videos, thank you so much. 🍁
Barbour is absolutely an awesome brand!!! I have like 20 models! The idea is that they will be always with you and that you will replace the pieces that need repair so it can grow with you. Hope you love it! 😊
Jacket is gorgeous on you, and the waxing you did is correct. It probably will need one more coat to ensure good coverage. Great job finding 2nd hand! Looking forward to Sunday's video. Take good care of you!😊
It’s lovely after some wonderful hot sunny weather to hear the sound of rain , it does make you want to cosy up your nest. I had a Barbour coat for years and I loved it but they are quite high maintenance, I used to heat my wax to liquid in a pan of hot water keeping it on a very low heat I then painted the wax on with a paint brush kept for that purpose then leave it to dry in an airy place for a few days. I thought you looked lovely in it a real country girl 👍
That's impressive how you restored the jacket. It looks amazing! And you saved a pile of cash! I was wondering why I'd never heard of these jackets. Now I understand. We would have little use for one here in California. They look very nice, though. Also, your cut flowers are lovely.
Loved this, I'm on the North Wales Shropshire borders and it's getting decidedly autumnal here too. My absolute favourite time of year 🍁🍂🍁 Great job waxing the jacket. I used to have a short and a long wax and that's exactly how I rewaxed mine. I did them once a year. I'm also working on myself and my mental health. I'm attending a vision board workshop tomorrow evening and I'm really looking forward to it. Thank you for another lovely and inspiring vlog. Roo 💚💛💚
Regretting not sending it off even momentarily, doesn't seem to match you ;) you chalange yourself in so many areas.. Some of them might be more successful than others but what is most important is that you keep that attidute and continue grow
You have done good with the jacket they are so expensive so you had a good buy . And looks great 👍 upcycling is good

Great to see you are making yourself happy. A ceramic class sounds like a lot of fun! 😊
Have an amazing time at ceramics, that sounds so fun!
Hi from south Alabama 💗 enjoy your ceramics class, I hope you make some fun things. Have a great week ❤️

I'm totally committed to the Barbour Jacket Resurrection! 😁 Lookin' forward to the next installment!
Me too! I love resurrecting older and second hand clothes. Bravo!
I live next to the Barbour factory, my Mam worked there for many years x

Brining the garden indoors now and spreading the autumn joy 😍😍
Catherine the jacket looks super cute on you!! Great job restoring it. ❤
I can't wait until a larger plus size range comes out for country coats. It would be so useful
That must be really frustrating when they are not available in your size, I know some ladies get second hand mens jackets because they prefer the fit of them.
@@DaintyDiaries thanks Catherine. Such is life! I'll have a look at the men's. That's a good idea 💡
Golden Things has become my favorite song, thanks to you!❤
Aw yay x
Probably like a saddle best done on a sunny day so the wax ( or saddle soap ) can soak in 👍 great job bringing your jacket back to it's glory 💕🤠
The coat looks awesome!! Hyacinth Bucket….loved her!
She had the best wallpaper lol!
Hi, The jacket looks nicer on you! You make the jacket shine …love your show🌸💕🌷🌸
My Dad and Brothers had Wax jackets in the 90's....defo a throw back there! :)
Can you just film a video of your garden with the rain in the background I could watch it all day 😊
Kudos to you, Girl, for giving that jacket a second life. I love the feeling of a jacket I had forever. It’s just different that breaking in a new one. It looks great, again!
Well done with the Jacket!!!! In Australia we have a wax jacket brand called drizabone, most country workers have them. I love that you gave it a new life❤
Goes well with your Blunderstone boots
As soon as she mentioned the ‘smell’ I was like ohhhhh. Drizabone smell. Haha.
Ive been quite down since my mom passed and in caring for her I have not given my garden or greenhouse proper attention. Ive starting to feel better and your videos, where go go about your day with your to do list is helping me get back to my routine.
I am so sorry to hear about your Mams passing, sending you lots of love x
The garden from the windows looks so enchanting! 🪻🌻🏵️🌸🌼
Aw, thank you, its come a long way x
Well done my friend. ... it's great on you ..and a great idea to re- do the waterproofing. ...😊
Love your jacket! ❤️
You are always a ray of light🤩
Yes
Are we looking after what we have all our time 😊
My mum had a tent made of this material. The adults were in a small sleeping tent and me and my brother slept in the wax tent with all the food and supplies. However, she had not waxed it! so it leaked when it rained and I woke up to be floating around on my airbed with tins of baked beans beside me😂
Oh nooooooooo, Id say that was not fun at the time, but now a funny memory x
🤣🤣
Love a wax jacket
The jacket looks great!❤
Thank you!!
Aaaah good effort with the wax jacket, well done. The process reminded me of using saddle soap to clean and feed the leather on old jackets, bags and sofas.

The wax jacket is lovely. It almost looks like leather now!
The Barbour jacket suits you, will last and last never dates. Definitely keep.
Well done for persevering with the Barbour jacket. I sent my 20 year old jacket to South Shields uk and it came back like new and it only cost the minimum amount quoted.

Well done Catherine the Barbour jacket looks fantastic❤x
That Barbour jacket gives you princess of Wales' vibes ❤
God Bless on your journey of self care too… ♥️
You're so gorgeous, Catherine!
Your so kind x
Hi dear Catherine 👋😊 BEAUTIFUL!!! 👏😊 Thank you very much for inspiration video😊👌Maťa from Slovakia 🇸🇰💕
Thank you! 😊
@@DaintyDiaries 👋😊☘️
Definitely, wax jackets were a thing of the 90's... I can't remember if I hard one but I know my friends did...
I love the Jacket 🫶. Glad your looking out for your health, very important. ✨💕🙏
Bravissima good job
It looks cute on you.
You've done an amazing job on that jacket and it looks really classy on you .x
You look lovely in the jacket, Catherine ❤ I think it will be your treasure after giving it so much attention and care😊
Awww, thank you x
You look so good in your new coat! The plait in your hair is lovely also. Love the view that you had from your kitchen window…beautiful!
🤗
I am definitely more of an Autumn clean kind of girl!
Me to! I’ve been gutting my house sold loads on Vinted and donated loads. Feels so good x
In Australia we call them dry as a bone. And they have short one and long ones.
The jackets looking so much better after its first waxing!
Thrilled 😍😍
Turned out great Catherine let us know how it dries 😊have a lovely weekend 😊
Thank you, I will, you too! Enjoy your weekend x
Loved watching this weeks video, and listening to it with headphones on. The rain was making me feel so cozy🤣.
You’ve done a fab job with the jacket, well done hun👍🥰 x
Awww, happy yo hear that x
Your Barbour jacket is so wonderful! I’m so envious! Good luck with it😊😊😊
Aw thanks Pauline x
So invested on the waxing. Have seen a couple of 2nd ones for £20. Will await your verdict before copying you!! 😀👍
@@Beatts113 if you can get a second hand for £20, I would! And then spend to get it re-done professionally, you will still save a fortune compared to buying new x
@@DaintyDiaries thanks. It seems to low a price to be true! So I’m a little sceptical! Could it be a fake? £90 seems to be the norm x
I love how cozy your house is 😊
Cosy vibes for autumn is what we need 😍 thanks for stopping by xx
Thank you for another lovely video Catherine. I will be looking into buying the book, ‘the artists way’ thank you for the review. I’m a sufferer of the rotten anxiety myself so always looking for ways to live gently. Love the Barbour coat on you, such a classic piece x
That was super clever of you to use the hair dryer. I'll remember that! 😊
You’ve done a good job on the jacket looks great
A lady of many talents

Coat looks great now
Hi Catherine it's always nice to see you repotting in the green house. We are beginning to see the signs of autumn in Michigan definitely my favorite time of year. Have a good week
The coat looks great on you so your commitment to rewaxing it is worth it.
The info about the Artist's Way was interesting. I'm having some counselling too and it's helping alot but I really feel that I want to do something creative 😊
`I love that, well done for doing counselling, it can be daunting to begin x
We finally had a good rain here but I had hired workers to cut back a huge trees but pouring rain stopped it. Love the video.
Jacket looks amazing, you did a great job on it.🙂
Thank you! 😊
You did such a great job on your jacket, and I personally like a bit of a lived in look, it has more personality than a brand new one ! Just me ? it's giving *vintage*
Aw, thank you x
The saga of the waxed coat 😂 I have absolute faith in your power to restore it to its former glory! 🤩 I think thrifting is great for the wardrobe and the planet😍 can't wait to see the next chapter of the saga!
There’s always something fab to be found when thrifting!! Lots of hidden gems 😍
The sound of the rain and the view from your green house was so lovely and relaxing.
It’s my little zen oasis 😍
What a nice, relaxing video…..just what I needed thank you Catherine. Also, that view through your kitchen window is just beautiful x
Lovely cozy rainy day vlog! 💕

Love that jacket! It definitely is a vibe. I will be on a second hand search myself.❤️
I've never heard of a waxed coat. Very interesting. It looks really nice on you. Nice relaxing vid. Thanks.
Something a little different for autumn!
These are my favourite videos you make! Thank you - God bless, Love Rachel
🍂Hi Catherine, you look lovely in the coat. Your hard work is really admirable. Such a lovely home and garden. I love your ‘Irish rains’. Fall is here, quickly sliding in and I’m enjoying it so far. Wonderful videos, thank you so much. 🍁
You made a grand job on the jacket, well done❤
Thank you x
Great work on the wax jacket Amazing 😊
Thank you! 😊
Barbour is absolutely an awesome brand!!! I have like 20 models! The idea is that they will be always with you and that you will replace the pieces that need repair so it can grow with you. Hope you love it! 😊
Catherine we really think you did a grand job on waxing the coat. Looks good 👍👍❤
Thanks so much!! 🥹♥️
Good for you for putting in all that effort and not just chucking back in another 2nd hand bin.
Jacket is gorgeous on you, and the waxing you did is correct. It probably will need one more coat to ensure good coverage. Great job finding 2nd hand! Looking forward to Sunday's video. Take good care of you!😊
Love your Barbour jacket. Looks awesome and YES, totally look like the other Catherine....almost twins 😉
Thanx for sharing the sound of the rain❤❤❤
Love your jacket. Looks great👌👌
Thank you! 🤗
Super cute jacket ❤
Thanks so much 😘
You’ve done a fantastic job . My dad had a wax jacket it used to stink on a warm day he got his re waxed it cost a fortune! X
I’ve found vodka spray works better than vinegar on fabrics for smells, great find though!
Hi from Stockholm Sweden
❤
Hello! X
The jacket looks great!
I love your Barbour jacket, I used to have one many years ago & I found sitting waxing it was very therapeutic.
It’s lovely after some wonderful hot sunny weather to hear the sound of rain , it does make you want to cosy up your nest. I had a Barbour coat for years and I loved it but they are quite high maintenance, I used to heat my wax to liquid in a pan of hot water keeping it on a very low heat I then painted the wax on with a paint brush kept for that purpose then leave it to dry in an airy place for a few days.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the way your jacket turned out. It looks so good. 😊🇨🇦
Thank you x
That's impressive how you restored the jacket. It looks amazing! And you saved a pile of cash! I was wondering why I'd never heard of these jackets. Now I understand. We would have little use for one here in California. They look very nice, though. Also, your cut flowers are lovely.
I’d imagine you’d definitely be too hot in one of those in California! Thanks for stopping by and watching ♥️♥️
Loved this, I'm on the North Wales Shropshire borders and it's getting decidedly autumnal here too. My absolute favourite time of year 🍁🍂🍁
Great job waxing the jacket. I used to have a short and a long wax and that's exactly how I rewaxed mine. I did them once a year.

Oh wow your vision board workshop sounds amazing 😍😍 enjoy!! You’ll get so much from it xx
Enjoyed this ❤ you’ve inspired me to dig out my Barbour jacket, I have it years and haven’t worn in so long. Yours turned out really well 👌🏻
I rewax my barnour every summer on a hot sunny day outside, really helps, the coat warms up and absorbs the wax, makes it easier. X
Ooh I’ll keep that in mind! 😍🙏
Regretting not sending it off even momentarily, doesn't seem to match you ;) you chalange yourself in so many areas.. Some of them might be more successful than others but what is most important is that you keep that attidute and continue grow
Love Your Flowers and Wall Paper❗️
Jacket turned out great Catherine ❤
I found the coat waxing very satisfying. Cheeky thumbs up! 👍👍👍❤️🌺🌸🐱🐱
Aw yay, love to hear it x
