I am sorry some are so unkind. Always be comfortable, whatever you wear to work, play or visit others. I wear "work" clothes in the garden only because that is what I have. Financially I reserve my "good" clothes for outings. It doesn't matter what apparel we wear in the garden, only that we are in the garden working and enjoying the fruits of our labor.
Mer too. I shop exclusively at second hand shops, for my good clothes, and old t shirts or comfy baggy pants for gardening. It is just too bad that people feel that they MUST pass judgement.
I work from home now since the pandemic and don’t bother with “good clothes” much anymore. I wear my home/work/gardens clothes 99% of the time and have 1-2 outfits for fancier events when needed.
To every man/woman :- his or her own order.I love your bag,it's beautiful, I have a brown one , it help you to put away things.I enjoy your sharing ,thank you.❤️it.
I love hearing this! Its nice to know I am not alone and there are so many of us.
Yes!! I love it! You are not alone! I feel so at hone here knowing others are the same as me.
When people say unkind things, the best thing we can ask them is *are you ok?* They are obviously not happy people. Beautiful channel ❤️❤️
Whenever someone is unkind or rude toward me...I would, usually, say, I'm sorry you're having a bad day and I hope you feel better.
I agree with you🎆 !!! I usually do my best to ignore it and try to stay present in the moment and focus on my energy & not get sucked into their negative energy field !!! 🙏🎆 There are a lot of insane people out there these days!! 💜🍁💜
Colette, you are a woman after my own heart. I have 7 thrift stores near me and I frequent them regularly and buy almost everything I need. I often get tops/blouses/sweaters for $1.49 Canadian. Why buy new when you can thrift and reduce, reuse and recycle.
I cannot understand why people have to make comments that are not nice. I wonder what is wrong with them?
Keep thrifting and having fun, I love it and enjoy the thrill of discovering something new to me. Blessing to you ❤
I love how you dismiss your negative critics by calling them "silly". It's perfect to me. Thank you for inspiring me to dress up more even while I am working outside. I too purchase most of my clothing from thrift stores at very very low prices and so can afford to have nice things to wear even while working. It makes me feel good.
i just love listening to your voice - it is so soothing - not loud or rushed or strident - so soothing - and your wee cottage - such a healing place - bless you - you live the life most of us dream of and aspire to - thank you for showing us the beauty in the world
lol "clothes do not maketh the man".
I don't own work cloths, and I also love my clarity shop shopping. I do all my garden work in my best, because I brought them to wear so I shell jolly well wear them.....oh yes I've pruned my bushes in prada before now, and I don't give a fluff....
have a wonderful day...
I love your videos I love that you are so full of good life, You make me want to be more full of life and nature,
Beautiful clothes Colette, who cares where and when you wear them!! No one's business but your own. As a 71 year old woman, I wear purple!!!! Blessed Be!!!
Take no notice of those people who say such nasty things, I garden in whatever I’m wearing at the time and don’t understand why people have to be so cruel. Blessings to you 😊
As somebody who also buys her clothes 2nd hand, thanks for this video x Ignore those cruel people, they are sad inside.
Wow! I'm blown away that you got a Gudrun knitted coat for £6!
They're £150 to £200 brand new!
But so beautifully and well made to last - I've only admired but never owned one myself.
Yes, I have just recently found their website. Gorgeous brand!
Yes, my eyes popped out when she showed the label.
Yes !! I have just looked on their website : the knitted coats seem to be priced between £159 and £179 .....what a bargain you got !! Xxx
I drool over the Gudrun website on a regular basis! Good for you!
Good morning from NJ ..USA… I so look forward to your videos , I share with my friend , love to see your cottage and land
I just love that you are so much your own person and feel sorry for anyone who feels the need to heap unnecessary criticism on others. I am unashamedly a wellies girl and can be found out on the allotment in rags to threads but look down and there they are the old wellington boots. Although I have always been thus It has taken me till my 70's to have the confidence to just feel validated as the person I am and it is so liberating. I brought up my whole family out of charity shops and recycled clothes from friends; to the extent that we were fondly known as the Oxfam or Wales! so am loving your finds.
That’s hilarious.
Good Morning from Arizona USA, Beautiful clothes and goodies you have there. Enjoy your haul.
Love your cottage, your beautiful clothing “haul”, I love thrifting too, it’s a treasure hunt! ❤️👍
In these days where the cost of fashion to the environment matters (fast fashion) any mindfulness in the manner in which we clothe ourselves is to be applauded. Literally tonnes of clothing are dumped each year - nothing wrong with the dumped garments, just overtaken by the new fad.
I think repurposing/adoping beautiful pre loved pieces is immensely helpful to the planet - we should all be doing similar. Subscribed.
As for those making silly comments, ignore the silly, you do you.
Wow what beautiful treasures you have found. People are so SILLY. They have way to much time on their hands & to little kindness. Have a blessed week my beautiful friend 💖 🌟
You have beautiful taste in clothing. Such wonderful finds. I too love to charity shop. Have a lovely week.
Dear Colette , you got wonderful clothes . I also have no working clothes . I also want to be dressed nicely . I wish you a brilliant day . Best regards and many 🤗 hougs to you and your loved owns from Conny Braun and cat Felix 🐈⬛ from Germany . 🌍👍❤️🤗🌲🍄🪵🌳🌺🌻🌸🌦🍵☕️🫖🔥🌲🐈⬛🌍
My son is medically fragile and so we homeschool, in my journey searching for the best path of education for him I discovered the Waldorf methods created by Rudolf Steiner. It’s a very beautiful and natural way to school and we always have a nature table. I have a faux hearth and we use the mantle to display various objects we collect from nature. And I change it up for each season. Like the changing of colors here in Vermont it’s a slow and gentle change that mirrors what we see outside.
Your son is fortunate indeed to have a mother like you.
I shared with my London friend a few pictures of the front of my home and its garden here in Florida. She wrote back "it is just like an Irish cottage." What a lovely compliment to receive! Immediately l thought of your home. Thank you for the kindred inspiration.
Your clothes were lovley and I hope that you never change your content way of life ..your voice is so calming . Blessings .♥️👍🙏
We call it thrifting here in US. I find the most beautiful crochet afghans for $3-$4. The work that goes into them it’s hard to believe people just get rid of them. Your finds are treasures love everything! ❤️
I collect afghans too! I adore them. I think of the work and the time it took to make them. ❤️
Originally from Co Antrim my mother in law was a true country woman. Grew veggies before it was cool to do so. Baked soda bread, scones etc.
Never drove rode on a bicycle and everyone knew it was her. Rip this year.
Don't know how I found your channel but glad I did. Loved your items. In the USA now
You found some wonderful treasures. Enjoy!
Gudren Sjoden is one of my favorites. She is a well known Swedish designer and artist from the 70s and is a lover of nature and folklore. I bet she would love to have cup of tea with you at Bealtaine Cottage.
Your home is peaceful and so is your voice. I absolutely love where you live. ❤️
I know for a fact that Colette dresses the way she wants! In the garden or out on the town, she's got a fantastic fashion sense. People would be wise to mind their own business. LOL!
Be You
Dear Dwayne, When you put yourself out there for the public, then ask for COMMENTS, you get them. I suggest YOU mind YOUR own business, and let everyone else have an OPINION without your WISE WORDS OF WISDOM!!!

If there’s anything going on behind the scenes here, I don’t see it, I just see one beautiful garden and lovely clothing finds. Lucky you !
Gosh Colette you got some deals! I wish we had more charity shops as opposed to the large conglomerate thrift stores!
That guy felted jacket is a WOW and the boots to go with it. And the black and the yellow flowered one---
You did awesome on everything
Wonderful mix of garden & thrifting-i frequent the thrift shops-and went to the charity shops when I was in England and Scotland-one of my favorite parts of travel wherever I am. I am a messy, muddy gardener-I get dirt everywhere-digging, weeding, spraying, I often need to hose off before entering my home-so I can understand the idea that nice clothing might not function in my garden-but then I have deep red soil, it must be moistened to pull anything (100 plus degrees bakes weeds in) so mud is real, and with that 100 plus degrees, everyone is dripping with sweat, so I have a new “garden” outfit I wear-it took me 30 years of gardening to figure this out…
A rash guard shirt-long sleeves to protect skin from sun and tomato vines
Stretchy yoga pants (to accommodate serious movement and crawling in soil and prevents ants on legs)
Socks, boots-prevents ants/spider bites
Large sun hat/sunglasses
An umbrella that has a beach/dirt stand that you can move as you weed/pick to help with shade/heat.
Oh, and I wet the rash guard shirt thoroughly before I go out so it can cool me some-and all this with early morning, late evening work sessions-never noon/early afternoon-too hot. So, maybe whomever couldn’t understand you looking so nice is more like a mud-digger like me?
Love, love ALL the beautiful outfits you found. Thrifting is definitely where it is at! ❤️
How very sweet your garden is, and your home so comfy. Glad to have found you on RUclips.
That fire screen is absolutely exquisite! Love your fashion "haul". Gudrun S. has the most beautiful clothing and it's so well made. They have a shop in New York City and I admit to having treated myself to a few purchases when I was in the city visiting my son. But since retiring early I only shop at thrift stores. There's a little shop, run by a church, just around the corner from my house and they sell many clothing items for 25 cents! Blessings to you Collette 🍁🌼🍂🍁🌻
Love your explanation to the SILLY comment
Unkind, rude, uncalled for comments are worth nothing!
I found this video very soothing and full of ideas. Thank you!
That is the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard. I've been (happily) watching your channel for maybe about a year and I've never thought those things! And btw your clothes will look so gorgeous on you. And yes, perfect morning indeed!
I don’t usually comment on your videos though for a long time now I have really loved them! But I cannot tell you how much I loved your comment on clothes, work versus dress clothes for this week. Your videos inspire my imagination In so many ways, from how to live more joyfully with the earth, to sharing a mutual love of interesting and beautiful things, simple living and frugal economy! But there was just something special about The idea of of wearing lovely clothes while working in the garden!
Yes I agree… you said it perfectly!!! Less is best and a more peaceful joyful life.
'The Boat That Rocked' is so much fun!
I like your video 📸 and your calm voice... happy to found your vlogs and thank you, woman.
I do have both working and dress clothes. I always put jewellery on and lipstick though as I want to look my best at work.
Hi Colette as always a pleasure,you done very well on your visit to the charity shop,great quality for a great price,I take it from now on you will have on dungarees a straw hat and Wellington boots ,how dare you look so good out in your garden, have ya no shame girl,work clothes from now on,don't let us ever see you looking so good again....😶🌫️🤭
This was a lovely video. I enjoyed the simplicity of your life style and the clothes are beautiful, especially the coat with the designs on it, I would snatch it in a second and wear it, I love it! Thank you so much for your time and talking to us.
Ooooh, I love that “Shetland” series, if you haven’t see it you’re in for a treat! That Gundrens coat is so good, and they cost a pretty penny brand new, what a steal! Good wool or cotton is so expensive, I’ve unpicked a couple of thrifted sweaters and re-made them into items that work for me.
Beautiful clothes, you are so blessed to find them. God bless.
On thing I do sometimes is to buy a piece of clothing in two sizes. One for better wear and the other in a larger size for gardening so I can move around.
I traded in a urban, high stress lifestyle for a bungalow in the mountains. Living a simple life surrounded by nature feeds my sole. I downsized about 50% of my possessions and now work with a casual, capsule wardrobe. Everything matches everything else and I can make hundreds of outfits with only 33 pieces of clothing. Now I buy less but better and they last a long time. I always respect people who are happy with less. Makes life a lot less stressful. Love what you do. Live long and prosper.
Love everything you bought!!!! Enjoy Tree of life movie, it is just wonderful !!!! BLESSINGS
Dear Colette,I love your new Clothes............and the nicknacks..............Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel Germany
☘☘☘.......I had no chance for buying a Goddess but I formed one of my own from airdrying clay.............then I painted it and will send you a foto,but I dont know how
I love your videos and feel like I am right there at your little cottage about to have a cuppa tea. 🍵 ☘️
I love your style, Colette. I always took my daughter to thrift shops & now that she is on her own, she continues to wear previously loved clothing. I think you're very creative! 🤍🌸🌿
Lovely display of clothes and household treasures
Enjoy your weekend, Colette. Lovely items & clothes! Shetland is 1 of my favorite series. Blessings!! 👍👍❤❤
Those footglove boots ..you cant go wrong for that price!
Oh my lord you have amazing taste Collette and your knitted coat is stunning well may you wear.
Those clothes are so pretty and unique, like you. I’m glad to think of you having fun shopping and dressing up.
I really think people who leave negative comments are depressed. I'm glad you don't take them seriously. So happy I found you today.
Such terrific buys. You certainly know how to stretch your money. Glad you enjoyed your trip. You have a good crop of grapes on your vines.
Bless you, I love how you buy preloved things. The items you have bought are fabulous. I am 65 years young, and do not care what others think about what I wear, which is pre loved or very old! Such horrible folk who put horrible comments on here. You look so lovely, and your are true to yourself. Bless you. xxx
You’ve inspired me to check out thrift stores here in California. I think the hunt for household treasures and clothing will be exciting 😉
Thank you for sharing a walk through your home and garden. And your clothing haul. Lovely garments. Enjoy your day.
Love your Nature comments. Here in America so many folks frequent big box hobby stores to buy their seasonal decorations. All of them are made overseas from cheap materials assembled by cheap labor. I’m millions of homes, everything looks alike! It’s like we’ve lost our individuality when it comes to decorating. RUclips videos are filled with the same stuff bought at the same shops. No one seems to gather leaves, acorns, pinecones & whatever to celebrate the harvest. I so love your cottage for its uniqueness, Colette. And please continue dressing up for gardening! Lol
A fellow American here. I agree. I shudder when I see the cheap, mass-produced seasonal decor when there is the real thing right outdoors. I have always, since childhood, come home with pockets bulging with acorns, little stones, leaves, etc and arranged them on tabletops or in an antique printer's tray. I still do but now with my children which makes it all the more special. :)
Such a lovely home and garden just natural and beautiful..the charity shop finds were so good..love the simplicity of everything .and nothing huge expense
.living simple is the only way I think ..l so enjoyed this.. thankyou so much Collette 🍁💐🐻
Bonjour Colette! Back to home sweet home! Beautiful valley with all the light and colors. Why not, gardening with a Coco Chanel, cutting shrubs with a Christian Dior, it's just fabric. Negative people give me nausea. They are equal to themselves.Love the coat with the little bird turquoise, the black velvet veste and the other black with white design. I like your shopping! Have a good week-end Colette with full of Love!xxx
Great haul🤔..... that Swedish make top would be at least £ 85 new..💫....... Love the yellow striped top...... Wow you did good girl........ @ i just want to know who these people are who make ridiculous comments..about what you wear in the garden . What's up with them totally bonkers 😂😂😂... Blessings to you too🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Welcome back! I loved seeing your new-to-you treasures. I really like the Swedish Gudrun S. sweater also. Recently a neighbour who was moving/downsizing gifted me a beautiful woollen sweater that was made for her during her visit to Ireland. I’m wearing it daily. Thank you for lovely visit🍁🐇
Love your haul from the charity shops. What great items you have picked up! Recycling at its best.
Hi, Colette. Your kind spirit out shines those who are not! Love your "new" clothes and can't wait to see you wearing them and your garden is beautiful.
The silk dressing gown is stunning 👍
LOVE THE CHARITY SHOPS FOR MY CLOTHING AND MOST OF MY FURNITURE AND ART. I LOVE THE LIFE YOU ARE LIVING, AND WHY YOU ARE LIVING IT THIS WAY!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WAY YOU HAVE HUNG THE NEW DUDS ALL OVER TO MAKE IT EASY AND INTERESTING TO SEE THE CLOTHES!
All lovely items, u have a very soothing voice to listen too, nice video. 💚🌷🌷🌷
I loved this video so much !!! I love charity shops too. All my clothes are from charity shops. I love a good rummage in the shops and never come out empty handed. !! I LOVE your pink dressing gown and your wool coat. Gorgeous!! I adapt some of my clothes with new buttons etc, bought from the charity shops too.
I'm doing a little nature table too. I do one for each season. This one is my favourite.
It was an absolute joy to look at your charity shop 'haul'.. I love doing that, guess how much I payed for this?.. go on guess... .... that always happens when you buy from a charity shop!..
Love it!!! Love your video.. 💕
Hi Colette, you really do have wonderful charity shops in your neck of the woods. Your finds are lovely & unique. I enjoy visiting your beautiful cozy cottage, I feel blessed to have found your channel. I love watching your woodland, garden flourish & change from season to season. Blessings to you from Southern California. 😊❣
Wonderful clothing bargains. The pink gown is stunning. I love the Irish charity shops. Well done
you got your self some lovely bargins Colette
Love the jacket you got with the colors and leaves it's beautiful, nice finds... Keep being positive no matter the negative
You have a lovely curated artful home, what matters it reflects you and the things you love, thank you for sharing xx
First visit to your site. What a delight your garden is . I will visit again. Colleen
Beautiful clothing !
Beautiful purchases! Quite a different selection from what I see here. ❤🇨🇦
Thanks for your videos, wonderful ideas that you share about your home and life. Wow! You found some great things! Looks like the swedish piece is a Gudrun Sjoden, if so vintage pieces sell for far more on Etsy or Ebay. In Canada we have plenty of great thrift shops too with all kinds of treasures. You can find great deals in clothes, housewares, jewelry, books, etc. Not for those who wish to follow the latest trends, but great for those who want unique vintage items, believe in recycling, and living an ecclectic creative life. I finally arrived at the same place you are with clothes. The majority came from thrift or charity shops. I dress up everyday for myself. It lifts my mood. Natural fabrics, eccentric and unique artistic or old fashioned designs are a preference with a few classic basics to build on. Of course I save the fancier more fragile pieces for events and wear simpler hardier clothes for gardening, etc. And don't forget to add some jewelry. Et voila one can start one's day with creative spirit.
What a beautiful place you live in 🍁🌹🍁🌻🌷🌳🌲 it's so peaceful & calming listening to you talk!!! 🙏🌌🎆💜
I LOVE THE CLOTHES..Beautiful!
I love how someone's trash is someone else's treasure. A beautiful collection of new-to-you clothes😀😀😀
Yes, it's a beautiful collection of clothes👍and it's good for our planet.
Glad you had a happy time shopping on your trip! Thank you for sharing your treasures. 😊🌱💚🌻🐝
Colette, I love the rust colored top and jacket, great buys. Thank you also for a most enjoyable morning!!!!
That silk dressing gown is very snazzy!
Hi Collette i love your "haul" your fashion sense reflects the artist that you are "funky", as does the garden / woodland and these diaries.....love it
My friend contacted you last Christmas / new year and gifted me two of your books signed : -) , I really enjoyed them, stepping into the world between, remembering the magic of everyday life. I have been ill for many years, physically /mentally but also a spiritual quest. Over the last couple of years I have become awaked to the level of deceit/ horrific acts / etc in the world I have been shocked and upset,...(and at over fifty , growing up in Belfast , thats saying something!!.....They say each sees the world through their own lens and mine has been a somewhat naive one. Your dairies have provided a much needed haven from the world events / stage and the revelations, you have helped me to reconnect with and resonate with my spirit, especially during the times when I have been in great fear (a lot of third chakra stuff for me)....thank you so much. P.S. I love the crunchy stones sound as you walk down the path.......hehe...Blessings back at ya form me and my doggies. A wee question , do you think your son will do a similar blog video dairy??? It would be good to see and perhaps help people, i know of a few people who are buying cottages to DIY and live a simpler life ..they might find it interesting an useful...just a suggestion
What a shopping haul - good job! Yes, "haul" or "find" ...
Thank you for sharing your beautiful clothing buys, I just love the way you displayed them as well. 🇨🇦
The only garments that I buy new are my under things. I'm planning to shop at some of our local charity shops and consignment shops later this week (after my doctor's appointment). Thank you for buying from charity shops and helping others. When I stop wearing some of my outer garments, and they are still nice and reusable, I donate them back to charity. I have plenty of old garments for grubby work. Thank you for the short visit to your lovely, country home. It is very beautiful and looks so comfortable.
"God help those who help themselves." You are helping others while helping yourself. My parents taught me to make do with what I can afford. I know some rich people who shop at charity shops. They did not become rich by wasting their resources. I'm so sorry that people have been so rude to you.
"With darkness come our exploration of light." I love that metaphor! It applies not only to the day and night, but also the inner world of spirit. Each of us could learn a lot from inner exploration. ❤
Hi Colette. I follow u on uTube and feel a connection with u, who u r and what u do. I am older than u and have a smaller block of land with an old cottage , 2 cats and 1 small dog, all rescues. I live on the opposite side of the world, on the western side of the Blue Mountains out of Sydney. The climate here is similar to Ireland but i am sometimes confused with the seasons, its Spring here now but u would not know, too much rain and cold. The rain kills the buds on the trees and i have not seen a bee or butterfly recenly. I am vegan and pagan like u und try to live responsibly and almost frugal. But i enjoy life and my garden, soil, water, trees and all. I allways look forward to hear your messages and look at your garden before i get up in the morning, a big inspiration. Thanks for all. Love Helga.
It’s so comforting to see you at Bealtaine Cottage. I like the way you dress and all of your mellow atmosphere ❤
Such a calming video. I can watch this over and over. It reaffirms my efforts to live more sustainably! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and peaceful home!
Ignore the negative, I love your ethos, you're great at charity shopping, like my best buddy, environmental in every way. Very inspirational x
Brilliant shopping spree Colette. I admit I do have a couple of items for gardening, I always get grubby! I have a cleaning pinny so I keep clean. 😀Think it’s my age! 🥰🇬🇧
Nice "haul" Colette! Equinox blessings to you 🧡🌾🍂
So gracious of you to describe their comments as "silly". Just another demonstration of your fine character!
Lovely cottage. Great charity shop finds. Very soothing and relaxing voice.
I LOVE all of your clothing selections!! Ooh that Swedish patterned sweater/jacket is spectacular! Excellent shopping and THANK YOU for sharing. I feel happy and relaxed after your videos
Thanks for sharing your haul. It's so good to know I'm not the only one who buys at second hand shops. Your home is lovely. I agree about the ideas that are generated while away. Bless you. From Lincoln, Illinois, USA
