  • Hello, lovely friends! The world has suddenly turned green here around the cottage! And we finally got lots and lots of rain ... which led to lots and lots of weeds in the gardens : ) Which led to me say ... oh wow, is this too much outdoor space for me?! This is my first garden season in this cottage so I'm learning the space and trying to make wise decisions so I don't give myself too much work.
    I also had an amazing thrift store visit and found the few remaining decorative things I needed to make the cottage feel complete. I share a pretty-much failed attempt at dying my bedspread ... we'll just call it a learning experience : )
    I hope that you're all having the most wonderful week! Please share what you've been up to below! Even when I don't get to respond to each comment, I read them all and so enjoy it : )
    Thank you so much for being here and watching! XOXO

    New things can feel like too much, simply because they are the unknown. Your garden doesn't have to be "complete" this year or any year. It is a blank canvas, and that is both exciting and overwhelming. Just do what you do this year, enjoy it. Then add to it as you want to. And, shrubs are good garden plants, don't forget about them. Beautiful and low maintenance space fillers that add to the structure. Don't look at the whole thing. Just enjoy the process.

    • @littlebohocottage

    I adore your Charlie dog, and he is so loving of you, and you of him, what a wonderful companion he is for you, and you for him. I love that you are changing things around in your woodland garden, you are feeling that this is the right thing to be doing, and so you are making it your own. I love that chair you got from the Goodwill store, it is exactly the same shape as the ones we used to have in our lovely villa my family owned in Menorca, back in the 70s/80s/90s., and the place that I love. I always preferred to drive barefoot too! Love that amazing painted table you looked at! Love and Blessings to you from a beautiful sunny Devon today, and Jilly & Madge the beautiful black rescue greyhound. xxx

    I loved your take on travelling on your own. So often others, as well as ourselves, may worry about being 'alone', but you are so very right that travelling alone opens doors to observations, meeting people and generally absorbing more than when travelling with others. Thank you for the reminder 🙂
    When I feel overwhelmed by my garden, I take a cup of tea into it and sit and absorb. No plans, no expectations. I let the garden talk to me, tell me what it would like done next. It's amazing how a simple moment like this can calm, soothe and open the eyes to possibilities and plans.

    I was going to say you were adorable. But reading the comments someone said you are Lovely and I think it is very fitting to describe you. And I love your videos. You are very blessed to do what you LOVE. I spent all of my young adult life as a caregiver. I am a 53 year old now. Taking care of my Mother, Father and my Special needs sister. I miss her. I miss my parents very much. But my Sister..she moulded and will for the rest of my life. Like your picture, and the story behind it. And why you have it. It really touched me. Your life is very appealing to me. So peaceful. I know at times we have hard times. But you live and do what makes you lovely. Thanks for sharing.

    I am so very sorry about your Dad, but glad that you can still have happy moments with him. My husband has Alzheimer's. It is indeed a cruel disease, but I treasure this time because for now, he does still know and love me. I've adored Jo Stafford since childhood--her voice is so intensely pure and sweet. Absolutely perfect pitch, such a rare gift. Husband loves the old music too, and he's always happy when I sing for him, so I think it's lovely that you are learning songs for your Dad! "You Belong To Me" and "Haunted Heart" are two of her very best. Many years ago I met a wonderful jazz musician named Charlie Haden at a friend's party and had a memorable conversation with him about Jo Stafford. He too was a huge fan and had recorded a tribute to her--a gorgeous six minute meditation on "Haunted Heart," followed by Jo's original recording. It's utterly romantic.

    Several years ago I found a near dead rose bush on the clearance rack in the Lowes nursery for just a few dollars. My husband laughed at me as I put it in the cart. I ignored him, of course. After pruning, I had about 6” left and promptly planted it. That rose bush has now grown to 4 feet tall sporting beautiful red roses each summer and needless to say, I never miss an opportunity to remind my husband how foolish he was to doubt me. Guess who’s having the last laugh! 😉 Enjoy the process with your garden. Getting it to where you want it is the best part! ☺️. Side note: If you’re not following Elise Buch on you tube , I think you would really enjoy her channel. She loves all things vintage, boho and gardening. She is quite delightful, as are you! ☺️

    Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of your life. Your shifting between gardening, working, eating, decorating, creating, and playing reminds me that life is just like that and it's okay not to have everything the way you imagine it, or even finished, but the process of doing and enjoying is the true art. I was away with my husband last week and we stopped at a cute little thrift store. We found a fairly large bright flower painting and even though we had no place for it, brought it home anyway. I put it on a spare nail beside another bright flowery painting "just to look at it" and we both said, "let's just leave it there." It's too much. It's over the top. Our friends will laugh. But it's warm and cozy. We like it. I wondered why I suddenly thought this was okay and I realized... I'm channeling Kate. I didn't know I needed permission to have my home the way I like it. Thank you. Have a great week. I love your life. And mine. xo karen

So just lovely to see all your spring flowers! Those model photos are gorgeous! I don't look forward to tick and bug season (I have an adorable dog too) but Saturday is going to be a warm day and I look forward to working outside in my garden too. I think your garden is going to be fabulous. Yes, we gardeners do like to change things around. And I love coming along with you thrifting! Also my favourite thing to do in a different town, but I haven't done that since before Covid! Have a happpy springy week!

    Dementia is horrible. My Mom (r.i.p) had it. My Dad, whom she was married to for 56 years...passed away in May, 2011. She passed away 5 months later. She kept asking where he was. She thought he maybe had left her/ divorced. So sad. And yes! They often remember music so well. My Mom recalled every lyric to Christmas songs and Perry Como music. ♥ 🎶

    Love the chair and the needlepoint chair pad. They fit very well into your home. I think the garden will come together. Maybe plant some more perennials to fill some of the areas so that you won't have to replant and reseed everything, every year. As far as the table that you saw, I want that so bad. I don't know where I'd put it either but it was so cute. Thanks again for sharing.. I think your garden will come along just fine and again, you don't have to get it all done this year. Besides, you might want to see what kind of wildlife you end up dealing with before getting to carried away. Just a thought. I really like how you show your appreciation for the beauty the world has to offer and not dwell on the negative things going on in this same world. You made me smile while Charlie and his friend socialized and were running so fast. Goodness, to have that kind of energy. They were so cute together.

    I think you should try using a recoil lease on Charlie. Not the cord string type but a flat ribbon recoil lease. It would give him a lot more freedom to run farther on a lease and you can pull him back in quicker than a regular dog lease. Happy planting Kate! And Thank you for your channel. ❤

    Your videos always make me feel soooo relaxed. I can no longer dig due to illness, so for the past few years I've been using the 'no dig' method...cardboard layed on top of weeds, grass, in fact anywhere where I want to grow plants...top with soil, grass clippings etc and pop in a plant...no further weeds, no unwanted grassy areas, and a whole new re-shaped garden. It's a great way to add new borders, or smother weed filled areas. The cardboard eventually breaks down and helps the soil beneath it. Hope this helps you a little😊

    I grew up on the NY side of Lake Champlain but was always going to visit relatives on the “ other side of the pond” in Vermont. A beautiful gem of a town is Middlebury, Vt and it’s a photographer’s wonderland. It’s a beautiful quintessential New England village with a village green and the gorgeous campus of Middlebury College. Burlington, Vt up route 7 is a great college town ,as well,and it’s right on the shores of Lake Champlain. Beautiful places to visit and stay in old bread & breakfast inns or explore an air b&b. So much beauty in upstate NY and Vermont ❤️

    So sorry that your dad has dementia (like my dad who passed in 2016 with 88 years, from speaking 6 languages and working at the United Nations in NY to helpless child who didn’t remember how to sit on a toilet, it was heartbreaking, fortunately it was really bad for just half a year). It made me cry listening to you singing for him. Thanks for taking us with you on those beautiful trips. Cheers from still way too cold Ireland, but tulips are out now too and many cherries as well. - How about eating some of those „weeds“? I think I saw plenty of Alliaria petiolata, or garlic mustard, which almost made me jealous, as I can’t find it here, it is a biennial flowering plant in the mustard family (Brassicaceae), sooo healthy and delicious, and a remedy against worms for doggies.

    I had that chair and cushion when I was young and now you youngsters are into it! Lol When I go for plants at Lowes and Home Depot I go to death row. The plants that they are selling that are near death! It’s amazing when they become triple the size and I saved them! ❤Lol

    Always such a treat watching your videos.💞 🌞💞Terribly jealou🌞💞s about all the 2nd shops you have where you live. I live in a 2nd hand shop desert😢 I love the color of your bed spread. Looks like the red earth here on the island I live on. Take care and enjoy your spring beauty there in the Hudson Valley!💫💞🌈🌺🙋‍♀️

    Love being in the garden. I have been in my home 50 years, and just had to remove a tree that was 3 times as tall as the house! So now I have a whole new space to plant and decorate. A blank slate to a gardener is so much fun! When you have a lot of space , like you do.... I find concentrating on just one area at a time and completing it , has such a feeling of accomplishment. Then I am ready for the next vision and space. BTW ... love that wire, iron plant stand in the garden. I could see it filled with varius sizes of aging terra cotta pots... garden hand tools and gloves in a charming basket... a watering can. Imagination takes me away!

    I love the new color of your bedspread. I think it looks amazing on your bed with all of the other colorful blankets. And your garden all I can say is wow, it's looking amazing. You have really been working hard on it. Great job on both projects!

  • @stillfedup1758
    @stillfedup1758 Год назад

    Oooh, Ooooh! So, when you are filling up the plastic box to dye the spread (which I think came out wonderfully, by the way, it looks great with the wall color and I think it's beautiful, at least the way you had it styled for the video) there's this thingy hanging up right next to the plastic box as you are filling it with hot water. I am voting for you to get to take that home and use it for a plant hanger or a candle hanger, or something to hang and drape sparkly crystals and things all over, or all three, even! That thing is wonderful! ,
    Also, the wire plant stand you have in your garden is amazing. I was in love with one here where I live that was only about half the size. I never got it because it was quite expensive, but they are such pretty things and having one for free is fantastic! It would look so pretty filled with white flowers! Or ferns, or..... Also, I think the way you changed your garden looks wonderful, that space is going to bring so much joy.
    Thank you for sharing, you are so inspiring and I always feel better after watching on of your videos.
    OH! Also, I wanted to say how much I enjoy how much Charlie likes going for walks by rivers. My chi does not want to go for walks, so he's always waaaaaayyyyy behind me on the way out, and then on the way home he's right by my ankle, but he's never out ahead, and it's so charming the way Charlie is so enthusiastic out ahead of you, but then he keeps checking over his shoulder to be sure you're still there. It's lovely.

    Beautiful garden! Enjoy it and relax a bit about "weeds". Many are beneficial native species which the insects & therefore the birds, need as a food source! In many places you can just leave them!-- and enjoy the natural colors & shapes they provide!

    What a glorious video! I loved watching Charlie play with his buddy. The pink blossoming tree reminded me of my trip to Japan a few years ago during cherry blossom season. So stunning! I love that you are learning music to play for your Dad. What a beautiful, sweet memory you are making...one that you will cherish always. I also love going to thrift and "junk" stores. There seem to be treasures just waiting to be found! Thanks for bringing us along on your journey!!!

    I also try to hit thrift stores and unusual but cool antique and garden spaces- but my favorites are historical areas and places. My youngest brother is a historian and we will sometimes travel around Indiana- Kentucky areas as well as up in the north country of Michigan where we have a cabin. I’m trying to purposely enjoy my life again after our dear Mother took her journey to heaven, and to not worry over so much. To just focus on being happy and content. My husband and I live a simple life and enjoy our adventures together- thanks for sharing your life as a photographer as well as being a thrifter- 😎🌲

    Such a Joy to watch your Uplifting Spirit, Creativity (love the chair), all the while sitting in the dirt with you as you create a backyard filled with color, food, and a soul soothing place to sit. I'm so sorry about your brother, I clean a house for a Beautiful Souled Lady who is taking care of her partner of 26 years...they are both 84. Just a thought for Charlie...I have a kitty who is almost 20 and I don't feel safe for her to roam freely in the back yard. She gets so upset that she can't go out, especially when I'm working in the back yard, so I'm buying her this pen (you can get different sizes) from Petco, and I'll cover it with a cloth sheet for shade "Midwest Black E-Coat Exercise Pen". Sending Peace/Healing, hopes to fill your cup of Spirit each day for You, Mom, Dad and your brother. 💜💜💜

    Oh my gosh, this is my town! I moved to Florida a few years ago but I lived and taught school in Rutland for many, many years. The Curiosity Shop is my favorite store and I'm friends with the owners, Karen and Chad. Fantastic store and fantastic people. I have MANY items decorating my home from their store. I watch all of your videos because I just love your sweet and serene cottage life, but I was so pleasantly surprised to see my town highlighted in this one. Thank you! I love my beach life in Florida but will always be a New Englander at heart!

    Oh My Gosh!! No wonder the more I watch your videos, the more I love them, and you! Lol.... because we are so much alike! Lol Different in some ways, too, but So much alike in other ways lol 😊 -- I, too, LOVE driving with my windows down, my sunroof open, and Barefoot!!!! Lol 😆 I didn't know anyone else did too 😅 That is Totally a picture of me! 😁
    I have an SUV, and I have, just spur of the moment a couple of times, just Taken Iff to Maryland (from Kentucky)!! And I would just sleep in the back of my SUV lol I LOVE Maryland!!.... and I went to Delaware once, to New Castle, because I loved the name and wanted to see it lol 😆 I have wanted to see Maine, since 1995, after seeing the movie "Sarah, Plain and Tall" (and the sequel, "Skylark")-- she was from Camden, Maine. I love the mountains and trees and cliffs, so I would love to see the ocean in That type of surroundings rather than just flat beaches like in the south. My mom has always wanted to see the covered bridges in Vermont, so I hope to take her someday 😊🥰
    Thank You Thank You for all your wonderful videos!!! 😊😇🥰

      oh, Joy! You would loooove Maine!!!! You should definitely kick your shoes off and drive up there sometime this summer. Camden is a lovely little town! My family lives not far from there. You might also really enjoy the Pemaquid Lighthouse area and the Boothbay Harbor area. I bet you could find a sneaky little spot to sleep in your SUV! Sending big hugs!❤❤❤❤
