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.
Thank you so much for sharing this! This is sooo interesting! I'm fascinated and will be looking her up. My jewelry designs, (as well as many of my poems, lyrics, and other art pieces) come to me in dreams! 💕
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.
I live in Snohomish Washington...Im so blessed that nature is everywhere. I sometimes just pull over next to a field or stream at a pretty sight! I'm a backroad driver..so the evergreens and sky always move me. Like a natural cathedral
Ukraine is the largest sunflower seed producer in the world, so the war is probably the reason your nut butter is so expensive. Gorgeous video as always, thank you for sharing💖
I thought the same. We feed wild birds with sunflower seeds, buy them in bulk, the price nearly doubled, so a huge sack is almost 100 € instead of around 50 just 2-3 years ago.
I think with this frazzled, chaotic world, where you live and the way you live is pretty phenomenal. Heavenly if you ask me. Cherish what you have. 💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜💖
Frazzled and chaotic are definitely good ways to describe things! Nature always helps bring me back from that : ) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!💜💜💜💜
You and Charlie soothe me and make me laugh. I have bipolar disorder and complex PTSD. I live small and simple. I'm a home body /hermit too. Love simple boho style, more Minimalist. Anyway, thank you for your lovely videos!!❤
that fabric you loved, the manufacturer is Marimekko It is a Finnish company, here is more information about the fabric Marimekko Katsuji Wakisaka Karuselli
3/13/23 I think it would look 👀 wonderful as a pillow case. And the green bed spread goes perfect with the wall color. I love orange too 🧡 but! I feel it wouldn't match with the wall color. Just saying. Blessings to u and ur fur child. 🙏🏽💜
A bit more about your artist: Born in 1925, self-taught African-American artist, Founder, co-owner Paxton-Tanner Gallery, Poughkeepsie. Artist-in-residence Springwood Inn, Rhinebeck, New York, Caesars Restaurant, Poughkeepsie, Fredericks Restaurant, Hyde Park, New York, Mill House Restaurant, Poughkeepsie, Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park. Many exhibitions starting in the 1980s. You have a treasure there. Too bad you didn't scoop up all the paintings as they will grow in value.
Thanks for sharing "beautiful lady " You are kind to everything in life. And thanks for including Charlie in your videos. He is a darling dog to watch. 😍
Wow, I've never seen a Marimekko fabric like the one in that window! I love the big poppy design anyway, but this [for me] sort of has that animated 'we all live in a yellow submarine' vibe...the 70s - of course!
Charlie is a very discerning little dog. He’s picking up things that those who aren’t sensitive don’t even notice. My chi is very much like him. Great video.
So you're saying our dogs are geniuses ; ) ; ) But seriously, you're so right ... he's very perceptive. Chis really are such wonderful little fur babies! 💜💜
Love textiles… my granddaughter who is 23 self taught in crochet, knitting and needlepoint.. not just a grandmother act anymore. A lot of young people are getting into it. She is a great painter. She has painted me anything from watercolors etchings, I have them all of my house plus she makes wreaths. Such a gifted child she made me a hat for Christmas. Love to Charlie from me and Otis.🐶 Massachusetts.
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.
I have a stream that runs through my land with a large flat rock in the middle of it.I call it napping rock, because I can take a nap and water runs on both sides of my head.I look up and see the trees overhead and the sparkle of the sunshine on the water. This is my favorite spot on Earth. Can you share the color pink on your wall? It is so perfect! Give Charlie a hug from me, even though you don't know me. I adore him.Those 'Zoomies" cracked me up.
This is such a beautiful video, so many gorgeous scenic moments, I loved the reflection in the river. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home and lifestyle with us and I'd like to say hello to all the lovely people on this channel🌈🌞💚
Charlie is like white lighting moving along the sidewalk ( walking.) I mean..... U, sure get your exercise in!!!!!!. ( Lol....) Blessings always Kate & charlie❤❤.
I'm so glad you live in the beautiful countryside! I moved about a year ago from a really Park-like RV park on the edge of town to an in town apartment. The apartment is lovely and we have nice views. But I miss the trees and seeing to the horizon. I miss the morning bird chorus and the wind in the trees. ❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🌟🌟✨🌷🌳🌱
I very much enjoy watching your vlogs, its like visiting with a long time girl friend. My very special spot is a little creek that runs along my property. I have a bench there & enjoy listening to it sing its life song as the water runs tumbles past.
Your little Charlie is so precious. I can't get enough of him. You have the best of two worlds living in the country, but having such charming little towns within reach. How nice. Your bedroom wall looks great. It is becoming quite a cozy room. Thanks for another enjoyable time spent with you and Charlie. Take care.
I agree with you on living in town. I would be shopping every day. I am good where I am...out in the country. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for the video.
I was thinking how much I like the soft green comforter against that wall ( blush or peach). The bed looks " happy" and not cluttered with prints and too many colors.
I have been waiting all week for your video, and you did not disappoint, the scenery shots were beautiful. I think you have the best of both worlds, you live in nature, but close enough to drive to the towns nearby. Cheers from NL, Canada, enjoy your weekend.
Thank you so much, Donna!!!!!! I really appreciate that : ) I used to think I could live far away from a town ... but now I know I can't. And you're right ... being able to drive to towns is wonderful. I'm grateful for so many cute ones around here : ) Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤
Kate your videos have made me want to get closer to nature. I have always had a garden both vegetables and flowers and I am so fascinated with all the different kids of birds that my different feeders have attracted. Prior to moving to my current location I would have so many deer in my back yard boy do I miss that. Thank you for always sharing your amazing home and travels and of course Charlie! My Zoey is so afraid she will not walk on a leash! I have to put her in a back pack! 😂🐶♥️
An easy way to find any metal objects in your yard is to pull a large magnet on a cord through the yard. I did this one summer when we’re building our house to find any lost nails. Thank you for your channel ❤
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!
Thank you again for sharing a slice of your life. I'm within a short walk of a beautiful river so I enjoy visiting daily. Love to Charlie, such a cute little boy ❤️
I just want to say I love your videos. I watch them every night before bed. Your voice is very soothing . I've watched them over and over. Hurry and make more 🤣. I'm 68 you inspire me.
Ah, Kate, another lovely video! It seems to me that you break all the decorating “rules” and end up with utterly beautiful and magical spaces! I love it so much! Do you enjoy going antiquing? I used to enjoy it and can no longer go because of health issues. If you feel up to it I’d sure enjoy a slow stroll through an antique store video. Much love, Kathy
Hi Kathy! I do love a good antique store!!!! I'll have to "bring you along" sometime soon : ) When I go down to Delaware, there's a large antique mall that I just love. It's SO full of treasures. Hopefully you get to do some antiquing on eBay these days?? Have a wonderful weekend!!❤❤❤❤
I get out of work early on Fridays. I usually come home and tidy up my place for the weekend. Your beautiful home is an inspiration, and your videos on Friday afternoons are a nice transition from the hectic of the week to the mellow of the weekend.
Love your videos. Your aesthetic is something I enjoy. Love your nature pics & videos. Love the thrifting and decorating ideas too. Blessings lovely lady. Keep up the great work. You calm me so much with your videos. Blessings!
What a lovely environment to live in. I wish you joy and peace and life with your fur baby will bring its own rewards. Love your little home. Im sure you have many envious followers/like minded friends. Hi from the UK. x
I also Loooooooooove Nature and 'the country' ... -my- balance is, LIVE in the peace and quiet of 'the middle of nowhere'-- and, then, take little visits **as "Treats"** to the cute little towns and coffee shops 😊 Just like you do, as you said, on your job outings. That makes it fun and fulfilling-- the best of both worlds. I have the best time on "outings"-- but it is the peace and quiet of nature that nourishes my soul and that I want to come back to 💗
Look forward to little boho cottage this week I kept looking to see if you had something new posted was happy to see you had so while shaping my nut butter biscuits I had you sitting on the bench🙂 we live in the tropics of Nth Queensland Australia we are on property very grateful I can sit on my verandah and watch sun birds looking for nectar or honeyeaters having a splash in the bird bath. Surrounded by bush native and what we have planted. Like trips to town, love coming home.
9:15 I have that same tree behind where I live! I just snapped a picture, but I don’t know if I’m able to post it on here. It looked amazing with the full moon shining Tuesday evening 🌝
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 💗🌷
Thank you!!! And ugh .. yeah ... the prices on nut milks has gone too high now. So water it is : ) Maybe by summer we'll prefer it : ) Though I will say that the times I make my own almond milk ... woooo! It's SO delicious!!!!!!!!
If I were you, I’d take all those tools and put them in the shed. You never know when you might need something like that. That brush hook is a great tool might want to reconsider giving them back.
Kate your videos have made me want to get closer to nature. I have always had a garden both vegetables and flowers and I am so fascinated with all the different kids of birds that my different feeders have attracted.

Aw, Zoey!!!!!! I bet she is super adorable in her little backpack!!!! Charlie has one, too ... but he doesn't love it too much : ) Have a great weekend💜💜💜💜
I live in Lisbon, Mainw, where we have 3 walk paths next to the river. I would love to know where in Maine that thfift show you mentioned is in Maine. Your little cottage is so homey and your videos are so peaceful.Deb C
It's so beautiful there.I remember upstate very well..Thank you for reminding me. The fingerlakes region is so good for me. The Earie Canal was in my back yard. I took swimming lessons in Lake Ontario.🌴🌞💫☮
I simply love your videos! i’m always so excited when I see you have posted a new one. And they always seem to end much too quickly. Thank you for your time and effort you put in to them. They refresh my soul.🌷❤️🇨🇦
Oh my gosh I love your videos, could watch them all day long and your beautiful little Charlie. You make everything look so magical. And you are so beautiful, my daughter and daughters love the BoHo look. Have a wonderful evening.🤎🤎
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! 💚🌳
Love the colour of the wall!it turned out great. Love soft purples, mauve and periwinkle blue, and the frame suits that painting great!ha your dress matches to wall! Oh love that above the bed. Yea good as pillow too. Lol
Water chestnut seed pod! Apparently highly invasive. Some call it a devil pod. Lovely video- I’m watching old ones tonight and trying to get over some anxiety. Your videos help so much! Thank you
Well being born in San Francisco California and now residing here I do go to Golden Gate park and Coit tower quite often an aquatic park in ocean beach that's how I get in touch with nature those are best spots to venture off for an adventure love your footage love Charlie your energy is positive and upbeat and glowing and I really really dig your content so thank you for sharing Out here in the northern bay area..XOXO ❤️
Still working on watching ALL your videos in order..... I live in Tioga County PA. And I drive to Letchworth State Park up toward Rochester every couple years. It has a beautiful gorge and river with three different falls.... During the week it's not usually busy with people. Also neat antique stores in Mt. Morris..... Your videos are SO calming....
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.
Hey!! Not sure if anyone commented but that gorgeous white tree is a Sycamore Tree. It’s one of my favorites. Love your videos. I look forward to them!
it was hard to tell for sure, with the distance and the time of year, but the tree you liked might have been a silver leaf cottonwood, just judging by the color of the bark, and the shape and size of the tree
Love the thrift store in HydePark! I just bought another quilt there. Lol I moved to the area from NJ in 2021. Living out on a county road. On an Acre, with a barn.and I love it! The good thing about living out f town, is you can always go into town.
Haha ..that is so true! And I'm so glad you found another quilt! I think the little fabric section there was where I used to make my greatest scores! I might just have to prioritize making the hour drive now to come once a month! I love that place! Have a great weekend!❤❤
Hi There thanks for this fascinating vlog your videos always inspire me to move to the country as l have always loved that lifestyle,And your gorgeous room looks absolutely beautiful l love the way you decorated it,Charlie looks so Happy walking around the little towns,Have a wonderful week 😊 🙂🐕🐕🐕🐕❤🌏🌏
I have a Marimekko large piece of fabric from 1968 that was designed by Maija Isola. I picked it up at an estate sale. I have it framed and in my family room. The pattern is really beautiful and I highly recommend buying a Marimekko if you ever come across one.
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.
The lake sounds perfect, Elizabeth. It makes me long for summer : ) I'm so glad that you can have a peaceful and reflective day away from the snow (and with kitties!!!) since anniversaries like that can be so hard : ( Sending you the BIGGEST hugs!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was my fave video so far, but frankly it's hard to choose!! Little Charlie looked pretty happy in the town, maybe he'd like it there if you ever changed your mind Kate! I have a beach just down the road so that's a lovely place to chill here in England. TFS X
Thanks, Nell!!!!! Ooh ... a beach in England just up the road???!! See, now to an American, that sounds like you live near a Jane Austen novel, lolol! Persuasion is my fave! Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!❤❤
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.
I love your videos and you are a beautiful person, with lots of talent. The new place looks great!! I have a cabin in Michigan we have beautiful bodies of water all around us. Can't wait to see your garden this summer. 💜🌱🌼🍀
I just found your channel this morning. The "thorny pod" that you have is from the Water Chestnut. I can hardly wait to binge your channel today. Thank you for the tour!
Water caltrop (Devil’s Pod)… a floating aquatic annual… most likely Trapas natan, but could be Trapas bicornis … Sadly an introduced water plant to the US in the 1870s from the Harvard Botanical Gardens, and now listed as an invasive species or noxious weed in many states.
I love wearing dress, but only in the summer. I've been taking care of my daughter for some long months, she's been having lots of medical issues! I was excited to be home and excited to see you have posted a new video. Thank you!!
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 ❤
Your cottage is so lovely. I love your floral style with the amazing colors you’ve painted the walls. Love your warm pink wall in the bedroom. Well done. Charlie is so cute prancing down the sidewalk.🥰

My two girls live in the Hudson Valley and, in my opinion, the middle of nowhere is a beautiful place to be.
❤❤❤❤
Ahhh the window full of green Vaseline depression glassware!!! I die!! I collect it and love it so much.

Aaaaaah ... that makes sense! I was wondering what in the world is happening with the price! Thank you so much : ) Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤
I thought the same. We feed wild birds with sunflower seeds, buy them in bulk, the price nearly doubled, so a huge sack is almost 100 € instead of around 50 just 2-3 years ago.

Thanks for sharing "beautiful lady "
You are kind to everything in life.
And thanks for including Charlie in your videos. He is a darling dog to watch. 😍
That tree is a white Sycamore which is my absolutely favorite tree!
I grew up with Sycamores in my back yard..great climbing trees!
Thank you! I think it's one of my new favorites, too! So stately!!!!! Have a great weekend!❤❤
@@caroleosborne3379 Now I want to take a picture of a little girl climbing in a sycamore!!!!! : )

@@littlebohocottage Certain dogs and little children pick up on things in people and neighborhoods. I think God does that with sensitives as well.
I love the way you enjoy life! Never stop!!

She mentioned at end of previous video, paint color on bedroom wall is, "RETRO PINK" by BEHR. HOME DEPOT I believe.
The big tree with the "puzzle" bark is a Sycamore tree. It has several different shaped leaves..
This is such a beautiful video, so many gorgeous scenic moments, I loved the reflection in the river. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home and lifestyle with us and I'd like to say hello to all the lovely people on this channel🌈🌞💚
Thank you for such kind words, Tracey!!!!!! I really appreciate it : ) Wishing you a wonderful weekend!❤❤
I wouldn't have guessed Marimekko on the fabric. It was so playful, pretty,.
Broke my heart : ( Lol!!! Have a great weekend!❤❤
I like the color of the blue spread on the bed.It goes in contrast to the color of the wall.
Charlie is like white lighting moving along the sidewalk ( walking.) I mean..... U, sure get your exercise in!!!!!!. ( Lol....) Blessings always Kate & charlie❤❤.

The older I get I appreciate the quiet. I live in a very busy town and wish I could live where you do but as you say, each place has its advantages
I guess it's all about hitting the right balance for us as individuals. Not an easy thing to do sometimes!!!!!!!! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
I love Beacon. So beautiful
Your videos are such an awesome reminder to live in the moment! And little Charlie just warms my heart! How dare a mean old tick try to bite him!

Great video. HELLO Little Sweetheart Charlie baby. You are so sweet. SHARED TO THE BURGH
Thank you again for sharing a slice of your life. I'm within a short walk of a beautiful river so I enjoy visiting daily. Love to Charlie, such a cute little boy ❤️
That's wonderful to be so close to a beautiful river. I hope you have some nice visits with it this weekend : ) 💜💜
I wish I had a beautiful forest and river that Was close to me to enjoy. But I am glad that you do so I can enjoy it through you
I just want to say I love your videos. I watch them every night before bed. Your voice is very soothing . I've watched them over and over. Hurry and make more 🤣. I'm 68 you inspire me.
She does the same for me!
So interesting to see more of the Hudson River Valley!
Ah, Kate, another lovely video!
It seems to me that you break all the decorating “rules” and end up with utterly beautiful and magical spaces! I love it so much!
Do you enjoy going antiquing? I used to enjoy it and can no longer go because of health issues. If you feel up to it I’d sure enjoy a slow stroll through an antique store video.
Much love,
Kathy
Hi Kathy! I do love a good antique store!!!! I'll have to "bring you along" sometime soon : ) When I go down to Delaware, there's a large antique mall that I just love. It's SO full of treasures. Hopefully you get to do some antiquing on eBay these days?? Have a wonderful weekend!!❤❤❤❤
@@littlebohocottage , I would love to “go with you “ on that antique mall trip!❤️
Foothill Parkway or Cades Cove in Tenn. I love the Smoky mts.❤
I get out of work early on Fridays. I usually come home and tidy up my place for the weekend. Your beautiful home is an inspiration, and your videos on Friday afternoons are a nice transition from the hectic of the week to the mellow of the weekend.
Thank you, karin!!!!!!! I hope that you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend : )❤❤
Love your videos. Your aesthetic is something I enjoy. Love your nature pics & videos. Love the thrifting and decorating ideas too. Blessings lovely lady. Keep up the great work. You calm me so much with your videos. Blessings!
What a lovely environment to live in. I wish you joy and peace and life with your fur baby will bring its own rewards. Love your little home. Im sure you have many envious followers/like minded friends. Hi from the UK. x
That pink on your wall is one of my favorites! I like pairing it with a more yellow green, like olive green
Oh, my goodness I would much prefer to live where you do with the option of driving to a town...bliss!
One side of the wood you found looked like ET. love your videos. Thanks!
Haha ... I have to go back and look!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend!❤❤
Another lovely video. Your house just keeps getting more and more beautiful. I look forward to your videos- they make me happy!
Me too 😊
Aw, thank you, Deena!!!!!!!! Big hugs!!!!❤❤❤❤
@@amydayl3294 Thank you!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I also Loooooooooove Nature and 'the country' ... -my- balance is, LIVE in the peace and quiet of 'the middle of nowhere'-- and, then, take little visits **as "Treats"** to the cute little towns and coffee shops 😊 Just like you do, as you said, on your job outings. That makes it fun and fulfilling-- the best of both worlds. I have the best time on "outings"-- but it is the peace and quiet of nature that nourishes my soul and that I want to come back to 💗
Yes ... getting the best of both worlds is pretty awesome : ) Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Joy!❤❤❤❤
@@littlebohocottage You, too, my friend 💗💖😊
Thank you!
Look forward to little boho cottage this week I kept looking to see if you had something new posted was happy to see you had so while shaping my nut butter biscuits I had you sitting on the bench🙂 we live in the tropics of Nth Queensland Australia we are on property very grateful I can sit on my verandah and watch sun birds looking for nectar or honeyeaters having a splash in the bird bath. Surrounded by bush native and what we have planted. Like trips to town, love coming home.
9:15 I have that same tree behind where I live! I just snapped a picture, but I don’t know if I’m able to post it on here. It looked amazing with the full moon shining Tuesday evening 🌝
Oh wow ... what a beautiful tree to have by your home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
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 💗🌷
Thank you!!! And ugh .. yeah ... the prices on nut milks has gone too high now. So water it is : ) Maybe by summer we'll prefer it : ) Though I will say that the times I make my own almond milk ... woooo! It's SO delicious!!!!!!!!
yes you are very fortunate to to have the job and life that you have and your videos are astoundingly beautiful thx
If I were you, I’d take all those tools and put them in the shed. You never know when you might need something like that. That brush hook is a great tool might want to reconsider giving them back.
Kate your videos have made me want to get closer to nature. I have always had a garden both vegetables and flowers and I am so fascinated with all the different kids of birds that my different feeders have attracted. Prior to moving to my current location I would have so many deer in my back yard boy do I miss that. Thank you for always sharing your amazing home and travels and of course Charlie! My Zoey is so afraid she will not walk on a leash! I have to put her in a back pack! 😂🐶♥️
Aw, Zoey!!!!!! I bet she is super adorable in her little backpack!!!! Charlie has one, too ... but he doesn't love it too much : ) Have a great weekend💜💜💜💜
I live in Lisbon, Mainw, where we have 3 walk paths next to the river. I would love to know where in Maine that thfift show you mentioned is in Maine. Your little cottage is so homey and your videos are so peaceful.Deb C
Thank you for sharing again.
Thank you for sharing your world. Really enjoyed the models. Awesome some coolest shops 😎 have a wonderful weekend.
It's so beautiful there.I remember upstate very well..Thank you for reminding me. The fingerlakes region is so good for me. The Earie Canal was in my back yard. I took swimming lessons in Lake Ontario.🌴🌞💫☮
Ooh ... the finger lakes! So beautiful!!!!!!!❤❤
@@littlebohocottage Yes it is...
Love all you post . Beautiful.
I so enjoy your videos! Thru are so beautiful and peaceful! Thank you!
I think the tree was a sycamore.
Hello there..happy Friday. I love your home,more& more.👍☮💫❣🌴🌞
Thank you!!!!! Have a great weekend!❤❤❤❤
I simply love your videos! i’m always so excited when I see you have posted a new one. And they always seem to end much too quickly. Thank you for your time and effort you put in to them. They refresh my soul.🌷❤️🇨🇦
Thank you for saying that, Margaret!!! I really appreciate it!!!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend❤❤❤❤
Oh my gosh I love your videos, could watch them all day long and your beautiful little Charlie. You make everything look so magical. And you are so beautiful, my daughter and daughters love the BoHo look. Have a wonderful evening.🤎🤎
Oh I love the pink & green combo!
I don't love it!!!! But sometimes I have to live with something for a bit before I like it : ) Have a great weekend!❤❤
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! 💚🌳
The light colored tree looks like a silver maple... we have those in Michigan...
Love the colour of the wall!it turned out great. Love soft purples, mauve and periwinkle blue, and the frame suits that painting great!ha your dress matches to wall! Oh love that above the bed. Yea good as pillow too. Lol
Thanks, Cindy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend!❤❤❤❤
Water chestnut seed pod! Apparently highly invasive. Some call it a devil pod. Lovely video- I’m watching old ones tonight and trying to get over some anxiety. Your videos help so much! Thank you
I enjoyed your video. Thank you. My sanctuary is my back yard. Such peace and joy!!
Charlie had a great case of the zoomies!!❤️
I have enjoyed listening and watching your videos
Love you, & Charlie & your channel.
Well being born in San Francisco California and now residing here I do go to Golden Gate park and Coit tower quite often an aquatic park in ocean beach that's how I get in touch with nature those are best spots to venture off for an adventure love your footage love Charlie your energy is positive and upbeat and glowing and I really really dig your content so thank you for sharing Out here in the northern bay area..XOXO ❤️
Still working on watching ALL your videos in order..... I live in Tioga County PA. And I drive to Letchworth State Park up toward Rochester every couple years. It has a beautiful gorge and river with three different falls.... During the week it's not usually busy with people. Also neat antique stores in Mt. Morris..... Your videos are SO calming....
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.
Kate, if your ever in the area of Red Hook, try Poets’ Walk Park! It’s beautiful and over look the river!
Hey!! Not sure if anyone commented but that gorgeous white tree is a Sycamore Tree. It’s one of my favorites. Love your videos. I look forward to them!
Ah ha ... a sycamore! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Sycamore is my favorite winter tree, so glad that Kate found such a wonderful one!
The textile looked so beautiful on the wall.
Pillow? Wall? Pillow? Wall? I keep going back and forth, lol!!!! Have a great weekend!❤❤
it was hard to tell for sure, with the distance and the time of year, but the tree you liked might have been a silver leaf cottonwood, just judging by the color of the bark, and the shape and size of the tree
Love the thrift store in HydePark! I just bought another quilt there. Lol I moved to the area from NJ in 2021. Living out on a county road. On an Acre, with a barn.and I love it! The good thing about living out f town, is you can always go into town.
Haha ..that is so true! And I'm so glad you found another quilt! I think the little fabric section there was where I used to make my greatest scores! I might just have to prioritize making the hour drive now to come once a month! I love that place! Have a great weekend!❤❤
Hi There thanks for this fascinating vlog your videos always inspire me to move to the country as l have always loved that lifestyle,And your gorgeous room looks absolutely beautiful l love the way you decorated it,Charlie looks so Happy walking around the little towns,Have a wonderful week 😊 🙂🐕🐕🐕🐕❤🌏🌏
Thank you, Nikki!!!!!!!! And yes ... he was being the boss of the town : ) Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤
@@littlebohocottage hehehe animals like to rule us humans,but we love an listen to them always,take care of yourself,👍❤🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕😊😊😊
I have a Marimekko large piece of fabric from 1968 that was designed by Maija Isola. I picked it up at an estate sale. I have it framed and in my family room. The pattern is really beautiful and I highly recommend buying a Marimekko if you ever come across one.
I never knew I needed one until I saw that piece in the window!!!!! Glad you scored one!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
@@littlebohocottage You're vlogs are so relaxing, and I so appreciate you letting us accompany you and Charlie on your adventures.
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.
The lake sounds perfect, Elizabeth. It makes me long for summer : ) I'm so glad that you can have a peaceful and reflective day away from the snow (and with kitties!!!) since anniversaries like that can be so hard : ( Sending you the BIGGEST hugs!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sending biggest hugs back!
This was my fave video so far, but frankly it's hard to choose!! Little Charlie looked pretty happy in the town, maybe he'd like it there if you ever changed your mind Kate! I have a beach just down the road so that's a lovely place to chill here in England. TFS X
Thanks, Nell!!!!! Ooh ... a beach in England just up the road???!! See, now to an American, that sounds like you live near a Jane Austen novel, lolol! Persuasion is my fave! Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!❤❤
@@littlebohocottage Pride and Prejudice is my fave!. Love your comment.
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.
That sounds amazing! Actually, it sounds like it should be a scene in a movie! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!❤❤
I love your videos and you are a beautiful person, with lots of talent. The new place looks great!!
I have a cabin in Michigan we have beautiful bodies of water all around us.
Can't wait to see your garden this summer.
💜🌱🌼🍀
Thank you, Amy! That's so kind!!!!!!!! That's so wonderful to have so many bodies of water nearby!! Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤
@@littlebohocottage
Thank you and I hope you and Charlie do as well. Stay warm.💜
I just found your channel this morning. The "thorny pod" that you have is from the Water Chestnut. I can hardly wait to binge your channel today. Thank you for the tour!
Water caltrop (Devil’s Pod)… a floating aquatic annual… most likely Trapas natan, but could be Trapas bicornis … Sadly an introduced water plant to the US in the 1870s from the Harvard Botanical Gardens, and now listed as an invasive species or noxious weed in many states.
Devils pod is a great name for it ... since it's such a mean little thing if you step on it!!!!!!!!!!
I love wearing dress, but only in the summer. I've been taking care of my daughter for some long months, she's been having lots of medical issues! I was excited to be home and excited to see you have posted a new video. Thank you!!
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 ❤
Your cottage is so lovely. I love your floral style with the amazing colors you’ve painted the walls. Love your warm pink wall in the bedroom. Well done. Charlie is so cute prancing down the sidewalk.🥰
