    Hi Catherine! You have inspired me to dress like a feminine woman again! Here in the USA we are so drab in jeans and slouchy clothes, in my opinion. Since I couldn't find nice tea dresses or even skirts that weren't rediculously priced, I started sewing again. Took me awhile to find nice patterns but I have so now to make pretty things to wear.
    I love your decorating style as well. So, it's off to buy paint and redo some things in the house. Thank you for taking your time to share your love of clothes and decor. You are touching many hearts. Blessings!

      @cdnlilacgirl 7 років тому +27

      I completely agree with you and the way people dress here. I take the time to dress nicely and even in good fitting jeans and a blouse, people ask me why I'm dressed up! And that's not even being dressed up to me. I've always cared about the way I dress, but going to Paris really changed my whole outlook on it again for the better. We all need to dress better and stop being so lazy!

    • @ocicatty
      @ocicatty 7 років тому +27

      Somewhere we lost the desire to be feminine. You can be a secure person and still be feminine. I'm not knocking anyone who wishes to dress in their own style, just that I prefer this softer look for me. Flowers, lace, and soft fabrics make me feel good. It would be nice to have this again in the USA without a comment being made about looking strange! Just, "Hey, you look nice!"

      My sentiments exactly! I am 63. My husband and I live in the southern U.S. and have a 1936 brick bungalow that we have been restoring and absolutely love. I can't think of any furniture that is brand new. Everything has been found by the side of the road, given to us, or purchased "second-hand." I try to keep true to the era of the house - 1920's to 1940's. I only recently found you and have been enjoying watching not only your new content, but the old as well. Blessings! ❤️

    I just admire you more and more Catherine and I love the ethos behind your channel and your blog. There's so much sadness and negativity in the world, (especially on social media) which you sometimes can't avoid, so it's lovely and so refreshing to see someone so positive like you ! We should champion other people and not bring each other down in life, that's my philosophy at least. Your channel is just adorable and so cute and wonderfully eclectic and just simply a lovely platform to inspire people ! I think you are amazing !

I love how you tackle jobs around the house and garden .you inspired me to get on and tidy out my greenhouse. I would not have believed your age when I first saw you I thought you were about 18 , when I was twenty a bus conductor thought I was half fare , even now people don’t believe my age. So really enjoy that, your the kind of person who will be young at eighty.

I an turning 65 in April. I have always liked more dainty shabby chic style. I live in the US in small town in WV. They have only primitive home styles here which the colors are dark, I think sorta depressing however I do not want to put down anyone's home decor, just my opinion. Thank you again for your vlog, you have given me some great ideas

Thank you for being so sweet, authentic and just so lovely and clever. I could go on and on expressing how inspiring you have made me feel so thanks again.

    Love watching your videos you've given me the push to get going again with a paintbrush and sometimes even a drill. Self reliant & focused. You're like a much younger me I thought I'd lost.
    I began painting furniture in the 90s when hardly anyone did especially 'up north' and I'd haul it to independent shops miles away to sell and even drag stuff into crafts fairs when everyone else was selling pretty jewellery or handmade cards 😁 I shan't be doing that again but there's some furniture in the shed that's getting a makeover and I'm thoroughly enjoying the transformations. You have a timeless style that's true to you. Looking forward to seeing what your next project is 🤗

    Well Catherine I've just discovered you a week ago, and I think your lovely. First of all like many people I thought you were a bit younger about 23 years old. I admire you for achieving your dreams of owning your own home at such a young age, because in this day and age it's quite hard for the younger generation to buy due to the times we live in. I always believe anything is possible and that is mainly due to my daughter who is 22 and is a you tuber and makes a successful living from it, and works for herself. I enjoy watching you, as you have a bubbly personality and I also love to upcycle furniture, it makes me happy. Keep up your great work, and well done 😘

    I enjoy all the projects you have shared, but mostly the atmosphere you have created at your house and also at your channel! It is so refreshing to see someone whom is just being herself! Never loose that! Sometimes life circumstances get in the way and make us loose our own personality! I just admire that even, thought you wanted to do a fashion blog, you had the courage to say: "That's not me!" Never try to be anyone else! Just be you! I think that is the exact thing most of your subscribers admire the most! As for me, you have inspired me to be myself! You have reminded me of me at your age! Thank you! May God bless you and keep being you!

  • @vixxnxx
    @vixxnxx 6 років тому +4

    You've inspired me with my home Decore. We have a slightly different style although I am absolutely in love with your style. Until I found your channel I was always under the thought that if I can't buy what I want I can't have it. Now if I know what I want but it's the wrong colour I paint it. If I see something that's supposed to be used as one thing but I think it would be perfect as something else I change it. Or find something i love but its really expensive i try and look to see if i can make it cheaper myself first. It gives a real sense of achievement and you know when you've made something yourself not everyone's going to have it. For the first time in ages I actually love what I have rather than feeling like I'm stuck with something that I didn't really want because I couldn't find the things I really wanted and that is down to you. You are my inspiration. Thank you.

    Catherine, your personality comes out as you speak, all the time. You are a sweet, approachable, innovative and energetic person. All of this is apparent when you face the camera. It is a delight to watch, and listen to you, and exciting to see how you have taken charge of your life, and made your dreams come true. People are, indeed, inspired by your example, and just might try to move their own dream along by your example. Keep on, keepin’ on, showing both dreams and happiness are within our own grasp.

    You've definitely inspired me with your love of flowers... one area of my house which was missing them was... the outside! It now looks like a little piece of flowery paradise!!! I love it, all I need now is a bit of sunshine to enjoy it more than every time I walk through the door, which is already great! So, thanks! And keep on the good work!

    Hi beautiful Catherine🖐🏼🌷👋🏼You inspire so many of us!!! I love hearing your story!! My mum was born in Ireland!!! Came to America at the age of 15. We have family in Killarney. My daughter was 25 and bought her first house in Florida in 2013 also.. It's not as beautiful as yours. She is still working on many things.. I'm proud of her.. My mum always collected tea cups around the world.. Every place traveled even Japan.. I have her tea cup collection now as she passed and love them all.. Have a blessed day sweetie TFS💕😊🐚gracie

    Hey Catherine, I really enjoy your videos, you have a refreshing upbeat outlook, love all the florals, and you are doing a great job. I look forward to viewing more videos, and maybe if you can please visit a local shop that sells what I call knick knacks to decorate your space, not sure what you would call them, like teacups, vases, figurines, doilies. Thanks for sharing.

    I enjoyed learning these things about you. You're a smart young lady. What pleases me the most to hear was a young person who was smart enough to want, and buy, their own home. I felt the same way when I was young, but now, all the young people I meet say "I'd never buy a house! Then I have to deal with things! Renting is best, then the landlord has the responsibility not me!" And some that say this are in their 30's. I guess they want to avoid growing up! You're so lucky you've got a headgehog in the garden! I've always loved them since I was little and read Alice in Wonderland! I can't imagine having one in my own garden! I'm so glad I came across your vids the other day, so many things you like, I like, and I love watching your projects and decorating. Watching one of your vids is a great way to start the day with a smile, please keep posting!

    What a lovely breath of fresh air and you are Irish!! So proud of you and so delighted and excited to have come across your channel. . I have looked at many Irish You Tubers and you are truly unique and providing a genuinely different blogging channel which I am in love with...........such a lovely channel and although you work in retail ( nothing wrong with that )in my opinion you definitely could be an interior designer as you have the gift and an absolute flare for it!!
    A great life story about saving for your dream ... too many people today want it all NOW and are not prepared to save for their future.
    Hopefully some other young girls/ teenagers / young women not excluding our male companions! will find your channel and be inspired by your belief in yourself and your wisdom. Your advice is precious and well worth heeding.
    Well done you and keep it up ...you have a lot accomplished and I believe a bright future in store if you so wished. You are very talented and I think this is only the start if a new career if you took the notion.

I think your positive attitude draws people in. It's refreshing to see. I love your videos!
