Dear friends, thanks for all your lovely questions and we hope you have a cozy time watching this longer video! ✨
@alpacas lovelovely it probably doesn't have a translation 🤗
I love y'all's story ❣️ thank you for sharing 🙏
Cave crickets! Lived in West Central NJ, had those lovely critters - a cross between a crab, lobster, spider and god knows what else…
@@FloridaDumpling 😅 exactly! 😱
@@gincollum40 our pleasure!✨
When you talked about remembering the names of the people buried in the cemetery next door it made me think of my habit of reading the names on the headstones aloud. It always makes me wonder when the last time that person’s name was was spoken, and who they were and what their life was like. I love cemeteries! They always feel peaceful to me. I grew up exploring ones from the 1600’s on Long Island NY where I grew up. Whenever I go to Ohio to visit my dad he likes to take me on a cemetery run to see where all our people are buried(including great greats as well as closer relatives). Guess I come by it naturally! 😁
I have roots in Fishkill New York, the Brinkerhoff Inn, was owned by my family, long ago.
So nice house feel the same way we do about cemeteries and saying the names of those buried there. A special thing to do ✨
@@itsacharminglife I love looking up the people, in the cemetery 🪦🪦🪦 on line or family History search, to see who they we're and how they contributed to the community.🙏🏻
🤗 You and I are kindred spirits!! Wanna meet up in a cemetery next time we are both in Ohio?!! 💙
I use to read the obituaries from the SF chronicle as a child. A person's whole life history. I wasn't sad , it was a Celebration.
Your warmth and love for each other and the nature around you have given an empty, dark little cottage a beautiful warmth and glow. You are such a sweet couple and I wish only the best for you.
Thank you for those sweet wishes! ✨🕸️
Oh my, this has been a real treat for me. I am a new widow after 47yrs of marriage and your love story & that of your cottage gave me such sweet memories of my own early married life days. You both are so sweet & delightful to listen to, I thank you for all the time & work you both invest in order to make this *sharing* possible. Really really enjoyed your slow easy pace of speaking and being in the world you both have created for yourselves. Much Love, Connie in Lubbock, Texas
Aww thanks for your sweet comment and we're sorry for your loss 🙏 sending hugs! 💙
I cried while you were crying . My heart was broken for all the trials you have been through . There’s always something beautiful when we are broken . It’s than we realize we are human . You both are beautiful.
That's so true Brittany, beauty and being broken and healing 🙏🕸️✨
I live directly across the road from the cemetery my father and grandparents are buried in. People think its creepy but I find cemeteries very calm and peaceful. The funny thing is the man buried directly across from my house used to own my house. And his name was Bobby Joe. My fiance's name is also Bobby Joe. It makes for some good jokes lol.
What! That's incredible to have that history and name connection! Meant to be ✨
I love the calm of cemeteries. Most, anyway.
I love walking through cemeteries
Is that sleepy hollow cemetery
@@itsacharminglifeis that sleepy hollow cemetery
When my husband and I was first married we lived in a small cottage like yours.It had an outdoor pump where we got our water.Its been 56 years ago and I still think about it.Its gone now.I wish I could still visit it again.
Aww sounds like such sweet memories of the cottage you lived in ✨
I’m so very impressed with the warmth you exude. You two ARE the fireplace of the cottage. The only other thing I would like to add is that a poem or a song should one day tell the story of this beautiful place as scene through your eyes. Best wishes to you both.
Ohmygoodness we love that! ✨ And would love a song about Cobweb Cottage based on our poems 🤗
It's so strange to see a video that has no dislikes so far, which shows we don't attract that kind of negativity around here. I hope your channel forever garners nothing but warm feelings and kind thoughts. Honestly I often get pretty teary-eyed myself watching your videos.
Aww thanks Kate! You're right, we were also pleasantly surprised to have no dislikes for the first two days or so although we have a few now 😅✨
There's 55 dislikes now...who knows why people are so hateful. I know there's a general disdain in popular culture for traditional, hetero marriages. Hateful people will end up bitter and alone.
I'm home fighting this dreadful COVID virus... so this premiere has really cheered me up.....
Hoping you get well soon.
Same! I'm going on week two. But living vicariously thru youtube videos lol. I hope you get well soon!
Hoping you feel better soon 🙏
@@Jessica-us3gh vlogs are healing for our souls a great distraction as we brave this dreadful virus at the same time... I too am watching many UA-camness... healing vibrations for you & hopefully the end for us is near... ❤
@@megangarner9113 thank you so much how lovelyof you... I have had many symptoms it is a dreadful virus...
I have a video request: I would like to see a reading (just a chapter or two) of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with footage of locations around Sleepy Hollow. I find your guys' narration so relaxing.
Yes, great idea. I can't fall asleep without hearing both their relaxing voices every night. One of the best narrations so far is in this video about the end of fall .ua-cam.com/video/_WC9_novJtY/v-deo.html
Aw thanks for the suggestion! We'd love to do more storytelling videos and definitely have some planned for Halloween 🎃
I second this request
I too like this idea...
Meee tooo! Me too!
The cottage was just waiting for you to discover it.You are a perfect match. I recently moved to a small home(old 1800!) called Gilfach pronounced gil fark meaning the cosy nook. Your style emulates my own.I have lived in Wales 21 years now...
Your cottage sounds so cozy!
honestly its great to hear how peaceful it is. Really shows the honor the dead were buried with and their peaceful rest. Also I love how you guys respect them so much and are so kind
Aw thanks, we love how peaceful it is around our neighbors 🕸️
I love the aspect of living next to the cemetery. I think it keeps up close to our loved ones and reminds us of not only our past, but the fact that life is hard, life is short, and tomorrow is not promised; be grateful in all things. The two of you are perfect care givers to the cottage and all its surroundings. Your art work is amazing, and I hope doing what you love will bring you great success!
That's exactly another reason we love living next to a cemetery 🪦
Cobweb Cottage is a perfect name. Loved hearing about your home.
Thank you! 🕸️
Maybe cat would scare the mice away.Plus a kitten is so sweet.I have 3 indoor cats and 2 three month old kittens.
I love the Charlie Chaplin ambiance of your movie.
Thank you! The short film was inspired by "Moderns Times" our favorite Chaplin movie 🎥
So happy you have found your place in life.
Jonas, you are an artist of rare beauty!
Aw thanks! ✨
I hope one day the owner let's you buy 🙂🙏
Your husband is very talented at art.
Thank you!
Hello! Cute video. May I ask where your is from?
Hi Jonas and Lindsey! I just found your channel last week and have been slowly working my way through your videos. It's officially become my favorite channel. I really enjoyed your Q & A and learning more about you and your cozy cottage. I grew up just above a cemetery and for many years my family was the care taker of it mowing, trimming, removing old flowers, etc. I love cemeteries and find them peaceful. I often visit local ones to walk through them, read the names and see what treasures loved ones and friends leave them. They are beautiful places to me. I hope you're both doing well. Take care.
I can't believe you guys are real. You're the coolest people I know of 😍
That is so lovely to leave flowers on the graves because the dead of such an old cemetery no longer have next of kin to come pay a visit...but they’re remembered now & then by you.
What a delightful visit!
Thanks for visiting with us 🤗
This was spectacularly creative , touching and fun. Your silent film was adorable. 💙💙💙💙
Aw thanks dear Beverly! ✨🕸️
I am really moved. I love the idea of “something waiting for you.” I’m absolutely certain that that cottage waited for you two. It is true that there may be something waiting for all of us. Important to get out there or we may never find it...
Aww so glad that stood out to you, it is all about following your dreams! ✨
Love the silent movie style content. You are both on an amazing journey. 🌺
When you take your time looking for things the furniture grabs you it's nice you didn't put IKEA stuff a vintage home needs vintage furniture looks worm and cozy smaller home brings you closer together thank you for sharing putting flowers on the graves is nice paying respect to them
Oh you guys how wonderful to hear and see more of your enchanting story!! You really see and embrace the beauty in everything you have, and that is such an important message we all need to hear❤️❤️❤️ Keep dreaming but have gratitude for what you have - yes to all that❤️
Awww thanks so much, we were thinking of the cottage of Contentment song when we talked about being grateful 🙏🕸️✨
💋Love you guys! One of my very favorite authentic and beautiful couple on UA-cam! I mean that sincerely. Been here from the beginning and I love seeing every lovely you share. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
The gentle spirit you both share is awesome. I love your cottage and your channel.
Lindsey and Jonas, what a beautiful video. I’m so happy that you found your cozy cottage. Thank you for sharing it and your story with us.
It's our pleasure 🕸️
Lindsay & Jonas, this was so beautiful & tender to see. I'm so happy for you guys to have found the cottage & vice versa. Your joy and positivity is so inspiring & you guys truly make the world a more magical place. Cheers to you guys & Cobweb Cottage! :']
Awww thanks for the lovely comment Melody, so touching! ✨🕸️✨
What a beautiful story of how you can to be at the cottage.
Your both adorable! That cottage was waiting for you!
This whole video is beautiful. I can imagine a little mouse family in your attic living like the Borrower’s. 🐁
Aw yes exactly! A cozy little mouse family🐀
A perfect storybook!
Hi Friends, I love your life story together and your silent movie 🥰 You both make such a great couple 💕 Congrats on 5 yrs of marriage 😊TFS Have a wonderful weekend
Aww thanks Nancy! We'll actually be having our 9 year wedding anniversary this September. We had been married 5 years when we moved to the cottage ✨ our story timeline can be a little confusing 😅 thanks so much for watching! ♥️
Nice couple, you guys look like “Time travelers from the past” There are something magic in both of you 😊
Oh we love to pretend to be time travelers!
Loved the video. Power outage: buy yourselves a power bank: jackery, Bluetti, Beaudain etc., with solar panels. Higher wattage=higher price. Look for specials, and which will meet/charge your needs: laptop, phone, heaters, a/c unit.
That's a good idea!
How you both have grown together as one is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I love you both even more than I did before after this video
Ohmygoodness awww, our journey has definitely brought us so close together 💙🙏
Your life seems to be sweet and calming especially being able to wander around the cemetery. I’m very amazed that you have taken in every aspect of the cottage and property…creating your lifestyle is truly magical 💕
Aw thanks so much, we've worked really hard to create our cottage dream life ✨🕸️
I live in a little 100 year old farmhouse (built in 1920) in Illinois. There are two massive silver maple trees and a black walnut tree holding the house in a cozy embrace. They have to be at least 80 years old. I live in the country and it's so peaceful. There are deer, squirrels, and I also have a chipmunk-and a groundhog has taken up residence in the old barn. Your cottage is beautiful and I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing! Blessings!
Aww cozy embrace by the trees, love that!
Having a home feel like home is such an underrated feeling. The best. Love this video, thank ya for sharing your story. How sweet. 🥰
Okay I'm totally IN LOVE with the Halloween vibes 💕💕💕
Aw thanks! We started decorating for fall in the beginning of August 😆🎃🕸️
Love watching both of you ,and I also love Fall, &Halloween .
I have recently discovered your channel, and I love it! It seems like the cottage rescued you in some way, like a beacon in a storm. It is loely to see gratitude on youtube, something rarely seen. This channel feels like a warm hug!
Yes, definitely a beacon of light on the storm! Our safe haven ✨
I enjoyed your video so much...you are such a lovely couple...and I'm so happy that the cottage has brought you so much joy, peace and healing to your lives. Love your authenticity and grateful hearts. Hope you have more beautiful memories there. Blessings! 🕸❤🥰
You are both lovely people. Thank you!!! Kerri from Australia
This cottage and it’s location is what my dreams are made of. It would be even better if one day an addition could be added on for more space and a sun room for panoramic views of the cemetery 🖤🥰
It's magical how dreams can come true 🕸️✨
I truly believe the souls in the graveyard brought you to that cottage. They knew the two of you were sensitive souls that would live in harmony with their spirits. I love how you treat the surrounding area with respect and how you treat the wild "critters" with kindness and caring. Have a wonderful autumn, take care, and keep your delightful videos coming.
Awww I absolutely love that concept and can agree! 🕸️✨
What a Beautiful Video of Your Life at Cobweb Cottage. It's So Nice to see two people who Love each other and Interact So Well Together. Your Cottage is Lovely and a Bit Magical too. You two have Created a Beautiful life together. Enjoy Each Day!! A Loyal Fan!!
You two are adorable! I loved watching your story and how the cottage has helped you heal and come to love just being and living in a simple, beautiful setting. You are a sweet, thoughtful couple, and Jonas, I love your artwork. Thank you for opening your lives and sharing. Stay sweet and cozy in your adorable cottage. I really loved watching :)
That's so nice to hear Kristi! ✨
…my place of work was opposite a cemetery in Germany, every lunch hour I would walk about and look at the graves. I really
had a relationship to those who past away. I would take flowers to graves on the day of their passing. For me, cemeteries are fascinating!
How lovely of you to remember their birthdays! ✨
I've seen them small portable washing machines you can buy.
Love your sweet silent film, it told your story in a very artistic way. You always remind me living simply, and being grateful for today is all that you need, to be happy.
We're so glad we could include the silent film in this video! We were worried it might be a little strange but so glad you think it helps tell the story ✨
You two need to approach your landlord about buying the house. I mean, you've named it and all lol
😅 hopefully when the time is right we can keep Cobweb Cottage! 🕸️
Nice Q&A. You guys were cottagecore before the word existed! We are just getting our tiny home finished too. Theres a few vids up of the 1930's house. Our space is slightly larger, but still tiny compared to most homes. I wouldnt have it any other way. Its easier to heat, cool, and clean. The old footage of you guys was great! Ive been following along since before you moved there. Its been fun to see such a positive young couple living tiny.
Wow thanks for sticking around our channel for so long, fun you remember our old vlogs! Your 30s home sounds lovely!
Happy Centennial!!!!! My house turns (turned? not sure which month it was built) 100 this year as well! :)
Young, with a very interesting history already. Very blessed, my friends.
That was perfect. It is interesting to think that we can record our times at the moment because of today’s technology, presenting your fairytale right at that moment so that we can all see it. I am 81 years old and have experienced so much and even though I keep diaries and have done so since 1953, it is impossible to preserve what you presented today. Thank you for doing it
Aw thanks Deborah, so kind of you! It did feel like making a mini documentary with the old footage ✨
New here! I absolutely loved your silent video! Great job. May you guys live happily ever after 🥂
Aww we love that, and welcome to Charming Life! ✨
Loved the clip you made so adorable! You certainly have made this cottage a cozy home for 2.
Aww thanks Jo! ✨
Loved when you both started talking about cemetery and the flowers. I think it’s so sweet and respectful.
Aw thanks ✨🕸️
Your cottage is charming & you guys are precious ❤️
how wonderful. i felt like we were all visiting together and then you had to go home. that was so sad and Lindsey, I cried when you did. so heartfelt. you both are gifted, deep thinking, aware, mindful, thoughtful, kind. i so enjoyed this visit as all of your visits. please do more. i feel happier knowing that i can watch you all over again, which i do, abundantly. stay safe! i think you both are a treasure! sincerely
Aww thanks for visiting with is Bonny! ✨
What a lovely story. I hope that one day, if you desire, the cottage becomes totally yours.
Thank you ✨🕸️
Looking forward to this all morning 😘 🏡
I live in an upstate historic home near a graveyard as well,..I’ve located our town’s founders Doxtaters,the Morton’s of salt co./Arbour Day fame & builders of my home notably..I should do a video but..
How fascinating!
It may be nice to make the found coin into a pendant.
At the risk of sounding mercenary (which I don't believe either of you are), that coin may be worth more than the face value of a dime. I would do a little research on it.
We should look into it more, but we'll definitely keep the dime as a Memento of the cottage ✨
@@itsacharminglife please look on the back of that dime for a small "d"...the 1916-D Mercury Dime is very rare! In today's market in good condition, worth $10,000 or more! Please check before turning into a pendant❣ love your channel, Lisa
If I could like this video ten times, I would ! You two are so lovely and sweet together and it is so refreshing to hear how thankful you are for what you have instead of the constant complaining you hear from so many people now. I’ve no doubt that one day you will own your own dream home, but I’m sure you will always look back on your time at the cottage with love and affection. ❤️
Awww yes, Cobweb Cottage will forever hold such special memories in our hearts! ✨🕸️
I enjoy your content. With so many videos attempting to depict those who are no longer with us as being a scary place, I appreciate the respect you bestow on those who were once living their lives. Apropos to letting spiders be. They take care of insects. While there are some that can hurt, they don't actively seek a human out. The name you gave the cottage is so appropriate. I love the artwork. So talented and like the videos when you cook and bake.
Thanks so much, yes there's no need to be afraid of old cemeteries and house spiders 🕸️
Wild how you can dream something and it happens. I've had many the dream that actually came to fruition although not of a home yet. Life is so strange in a good way. Much love you guys 🖤🌙
It's so magical when dreams come true! Thanks Laura ✨
This video brought so much joy to my heart! Cobweb cottage was “born” in the same year as my dear grandmother and role model, Claire. My mom and I commemorated what would be her 100th birthday in March. I wanted to share because as I was watching your video, I realized that you two as a couple remind me of my grandparents. They had many challenges and moved a lot in the early years of their marriage, but they loved being in each other’s company every day, and they had so many stories. They always appreciated what they had. My grandpa Barney was a big history buff who would have loved learning about your cemetery! Thank you for the cozy vibes and the inspiration to believe in a dream!
I so enjoy seeing couples that find joy in each others company. I would consider myself a wealthy person if I were to find that in my lifetime.
@@kc3074 me too! 💕
Aww thanks for sharing about your dear Grandparents! 🥰
Our first small home holds some of our dearest memories.
Its not the size of a home but the love it holds inside its walls that is so precious.
We couldn't agree more! 🕸️✨
Greetings from Canada.I really enjoy watching your videos . They are very relaxing to watch after a chaotic work day for me. You both compliment one another very well in your videos.A real joy to watch.
I love that you dance around the Christmas tree. Dere er så søte begge to. Congrats and finding and making a cozy home that works for you!
Tackar! We're so blessed to live here ✨
i have a question could you show how to do the web's on frames?
Such a good reminder to be content with what you have but to keep dreaming. Fabulous video. Cheers and take care.
Video idea: building a miniature cozy cottage replica out of cheap or upcycled materials, like cardboard and pieces of fabric, etc. ❤️
They sell a plastic covering for windows. It will still let the light in but keep the heat in. Works really good.
Oh yes, we've heard of that! Our windows sweat though and we have to open them and wipe down in the winter 😅
This made my night! I got all teary watching you guys work your way to Cobweb Cottage. 💕💕💕💕 you’re building a beautiful life!
Awwww…. This was so much fun. What a heartwarming story the two of you have. Thank you for sharing. I just love your channel.
OK, the silent film bit at the begonning was just SO CUTE!
Thank you, we're so proud of that little silent film!
Your story and they little cottage you found would be my biggest dream come true. There is nothing I dream of more than stumbling on a sweet little cottage and making it my home and decorating it with the change of seasons. I would even love the cemetery. I am now in my 60s and have had to move many times, so having a little home of my own would be the best thing in the world to me. I so envy your lucky find, but I love seeing yours and what you have done with it. I wish you much happiness and hope that's one day you will own it or one just as charming. I hope I will one day too. 🌞🍄🌿🕸️❤️
Aww thanks Sharon! We believe your cottage dream can come true ✨
Thank you for sharing you both are a breath of fresh air!!🙏❤❤
Aw thanks Paulette! ✨
Thank you so much for the videos! I do believe a home has a soul and I think your cottage is taking care of you two. I can’t wait for spooky season too!
Oh I liked seeing the grave yard. I like to look at graves too. That grave with the willow tree carvings is fab.
This is awesome. I love it!
I enjoy your videos so much! You have inspired me with your positive artistic outlook in life.
Lovely! Love your videos and chats!
