    Vivian Gaines Tanner Paxton was born in Newport, R.I., and lived many years in Newburg, N.Y before coming to the Poughkeepsie area. She is a noted artist, poet and author who was led to art through vivid intuitive dreams which initially showed her exactly how to render lifelike portraits in pencil. This evolved into painting in watercolors, acrylics, and oils as well as other forms of artistic expression.

    Just started watching this video and looked at the artist. One of her watercolors went for almost $4000. She’s a very well-known upstate New York artist and had her own gallery passed away in 2000.

    Hello Kate, I think you small house video showed up on my feed, and from there, I have been browsing around your videos. So, went to the beginning, to your gratitude videos.... and honestly, I really am enjoying your channel. So, just wanted to pop in and say thank you.
    I live in Norway, on a farm, and I also garden and love the beauty around us, so your videos speak to me. 💕🌷 And when I was a little girl, my father was stationed at West Point and we lived on the west side of the Hudson, and I was born further west in CNY... so watching your videos is also a taste of my childhood. There was a path through the woods to my school and we had nature walks along it in the springtime... and we used to play in the woods all around where we lived. So, thank you for your videos!

Also about 13 years ago my husband and I looked in Beacon and we could NOT afford it, this was before all the shops and gentrification so I know we couldn't afford it now! It's nice to go to those places but I love coming home. Charlie looked like a regular in the town! He could be mayor! If you ever get a chance another town along the Hudson is Nyack,NY a fun thrift store called Grace's. I grew up there in Rockland. So many great towns in NY for exploration!

    Watching your video is a moment of calm in a chaotic and overwhelming weekend. Thank you.
    Plant sunflowers this spring and collect the seeds in summer to make your own sunflower seed butter. Super easy to make. (Okay the shelling of the seeds is a pain, but an audio book whilst sat on the porch will help 🙂) And you could also make your own almost milk from almonds, if it is cheaper to buy them this way - and of course has no added ingredients. Again super easy (lots of tutorials on seed/nut butters and milks out there if you are unsure how) and bonus you could use the almond pulp in smoothies.
    What about an asymmetrical stencil above the bed?
    My special spot has always been my garden. I sit, drink a coffee, sometimes work, with visits from my ducks and cats. It doesn't get any better.

    Kate what a beautiful dress you're wearing in the beginning of the video. Yes all nut butters have skyrocketed. The almond milk I use is Elmhurst. Their has almonds and water, no fillers, binders and funky stuff. It has gotten so expensive. 1 quart is $9☹ I'm trying to adapt to water based smoothies as well. That might be a sycamore tree. I love to go to Stone Mountain, GA and walk up the mountain. At the top it's like you can see forever. It's memorizing 💗🌷

    This was such a sweet video. Loved the day in Beacon. As for the textile in the window.... I am such a proponent of "I CAN DO THAT!". So since you have it on video... I would pause it and take a picture or draw it... putting the name of the color in each section. The shapes are pretty basic. Then I would either do one large canvas over your bed... or 4 canvas wall display. Painting is so fun... doesn't have to be perfect. Just has to give you the feel of the piece in the window. YOU CAN DO THS! I'll be watching!

    Hi Kate, so happy to see a new video up. We're in the midst of a snowstorm here, I went out to a medical appt. and then hightailed it home. Now sitting with the electric fireplace on, surrounded by sleeping kitties, reading a Philippa Gregory book (Tudor historical fiction), watching it snow, and thinking about plants and seed catalogs. I'm having a reflective, quiet day...today is the 30th anniversary of my beloved dad's passing. It seems surreal, and I have a hard time wrapping my head around it, that he's been absent from my life for longer than I had him. One of the places our whole family loved was Fourth Lake in the Adirondacks. We spent some time there every summer, and now my sister-in-law lives near there, so we go up a few times a year. Beautiful, clear lake, smell of evergreens, wildflowers...peace. I'm definitely a water girl, and I live only a few miles from Lake Ontario, and love spending time there too. Your cottage is looking wonderful. Thank you for sharing a slice of your life with us.

Then, paint colors on top of them that are in your room decor. The frames could be different colors also, matching everything you have in your room. All different shapes and sizes.

    Dear Kate. 💕 As always, I get so excited when you have a new video! Your cottage looks so lovely! I love the pink dress you had on at the beginning of the video!💕Your bedroom is so inviting, peaceful, cozy, feminine, and with your pink wall and your plants, it's a great room to unwind and "just be ". I hope I'm not overstepping, but maybe invest in a good pair of gardening gloves? Especially when you are picking up old, sharp, rusted tools. Sticks can be pretty sharp as well. Bonita is a beautiful model, and your trip to Beacon looked like such fun, especially with Charlie walking and enjoying the sights! Kate, you're lovely, inside and out. 🌸🌷💕

    Oh, i just adore you and your vlogs!! I live in central MA, so we're distant neighbors but share the same flora, fauna and seasons! Though i've never seen (or stepped on, thank God!) those Water Chestnut pods (aka: "Bat Nuts" (LOL), Devil Head or Devil Pod Seeds (aptly named!) around my area, I DID discover Gum Balls! They're the adorably spiky spheres (seed pods) from a Gum Tree. I just fell in love with them! I used the front part of my sweater as a collection basket and scooped up loads of them. I decided to string them into a garland (you'll need very strong needles and a pair of plyers to pull them thru) but I LOVE the end result! I know you would too. :) I can hardly wait to see how you transform your garden this Spring!!! Magical, no doubt!

      Thank you, Aurelia!!! And what a cool idea to make a garland! You've inspired me to try and think if something crafty to do with those mean old seeds!!!!!! I mean, now that I know they're invasive, I guess me taking them for crafts is just fine : ) Have a wonderful weekend... I'm guessing you're getting some snow, too???❤❤

      @@littlebohocottage Yes, definitely do something crafty OR, as yikes-looking as they are, you can actually EAT them. They're really good for you! Who knew? As they say, "never judge a book...". For snow, we're only getting a smidge but they're saying it's not gonna amount to much. I don't mind if it snows at this stage of the season, it's no longer intimidating cuz i know it's gonna melt in a day or so 😁. I'm ready for GREEN! I LOVE me some flowers but I really miss the leaves the most. Nothing better than sittin under an oak or maple tree on a windy day and listening to the leaves rustle and swish. Oh BLISS! Soon....soon! 💚🌳

    Really beautiful video and nice shop in town! There’s a Hannaford coming to Hudson in the Fall. I found that they have the best prices on things like yogurt and raw nuts, etc. Prices are outrageous. I’ve been making things like my own yogurt & cottage cheese. Cooking from scratch, making recipes that extend ingredients and canning from the garden is the way to go. Reducing waste and composting help a lot. You should be able to get a composting bin that is animal proof from your municipality.

    Hi Kate, I live in a remote place (on the edge of a small village). I love that I can drive to towns and visit cute shops but then go home to the peace and quiet - and I spend less money now!
    Have you considered oat milk? I buy it ready-made but I have seen a recipe that looked like it was quite simple to make. I started using it when I found out how much damage the almonds and soya growers do to the land. I really like it now and it seems to work quite well for mixing and using in recipes.
    Thank you for your lovely content it always gives me a lift and reminds me what a beautiful planet we live on ❤

    I live in Cincinnati and we have a lot of really nice parks around. Fortunately I have a large back yard and we turned half of it into a garden, so I tend to spend a lot of time back there. Beacon looks a lot like Hamilton, which is about 30 minutes from where I live. The downtown section has so many cute little stores! My fave is the Hip Boutique, a fabulous boho shop. There is a big pumpkin festival every fall, with tons of local vendors and crafters, the BEST pumpkin spice donuts ever, and around the center courtyard they have all these giant 800+ pound pumpkins that people carve. I go every year..it's so fun and you get a free pumpkin to take home with you. You'd love it. It's very small town feeling and everyone is so nice.

    If you can't convince yourself that water tastes good enough in your smoothie, try making up a herbal infusion. I make a blood orange and ginger, or chai spice the night before and by morning it's cold enough to use. The spices just give you the warming, comforting, satiated feeling of milk, especially in cold weather. Mint tea, minus the sugar, in summer is more refreshing though.
