Thank you all for your lovely comments, I wish I could reply to them all and I just love reading them! I would love to know where you live and what your winters are like, over here we get about 2 to 3 feet of snow!
I live in Oregon, near the city. We get a little bit of snow every year and it’s pretty special when we do.
I love your channel and your way of thinking makes me happy ❤️ I live in sacramento,ca and there’s no snow at all. During winter I do a lot of cooking. Just Started UA-cam channel also, hope people would love it.
philippines!! were a tropical country so we dont have winters in here 😢
I live in Arizona, so no snow :( but I used to live in Minnesota and I loved playing in the snow as a kid and making forts. :)
@@bastilleisgod3168 I love tropical country🌴
I feel that winter is a time to "love" your home, too. Caring for the details of the inside of your home, and your soul. I love it.
Wonderfully said 🤍 thank you
You put that perfectly, and it is so true! 💚

I worked for a gentleman that told me never to use the word ‘Cheap’. Describe the object or experience as “less expensive” . I never forgot that.
This is great thank you!
Vintage, older and used items are definitely not cheap. They are made well and stand the test of time❤️
He was a classy guy. ❤️
I also say "affordable" or highly affordable!
OMG love it, thanks for sharing! :0
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if everyone did this-
It will be so peaceful 😊
If only things were that simple-
Everyone’s different, I don’t think everyone would be like this style of life or be suited for it.

@@flebodium hola fellow weeb
"I believe there are angels among us, who show us how to live, who teach us how to give."
That's how I feel about you and this channel ❤❤❤
Your words are so accurate. Everytime I watch this channel,I a tranported to a different time , to a different life.
Mee to
So beautifully said.
I've never been to this channel before, but I am thoroughly enchanted by the stunning simplicity that I just experienced.
That's a beautiful quote.
Watching your video puts me in ‘daydream’ mode: me sipping on a cup of hot cocoa in a cottage somewhere surrounded by white snow, peace, and creativity.
Your channel is so inspiring....it inspires us to live simply and happily despite the outer chaos ...😇💕
Yes 💛
You seem to be in india.. I'm too..
I'm actually going try some things like this.. in uttarakhand ✌️🌴
@@vIBEDoUT-Channel rishkesh ?
I love her voiceover
Indeed 😌
This is beautiful 🤩 This channel is my place to be calm. Thank you for creating such amazing art
Thank you so much 🤍
Your videos are so relaxing to watch and they give me a sense of belonging. I hope one day I could live rural like you and at peace with nature
Thank you so much 🤍 I’m so glad to hear that
i hope so too, nowadays it is my biggest dream, maybe work in a bakery, bake all day and at the end of the day go back to my little cottage
@@manuelinha6400 Perfect
I don't live in a rural cottage either, although I did grow up in one, but I really believe you can create a similar life in the city. You can still grow things in the garden if you have one, or in pots, if you have a chimney you can create a real fire etc. There's so much you can do. It''s also about slowing down. If you can't move to the country, bring it to you.
@@helenalford2831 wow, that is true! i just want to be happy lol, doing whatever makes me smile and feel accomplished
This makes me want to:
Live in a cottage
Paper my walls
Make tea
Do more crafts
Buy more secondhand items
And live simply and without major stress
I loved the music in this video, and I also really appreciate how you put the prices, to show how economical this lifestyle can sometimes be. It was a beautiful escape from stressful everyday life as always, and it also inspired me to want to do fanart of you for my Instagram!
Yes! Me too lol
I also want to live in a cottage by watching this video
“My little burrow”😍 reminds me of the Weasleys burrow 😂
Love this cottage life in the valley, so peaceful.
Am overjoyed to see there was enough wallpaper for you to be able to match up the seams! And at the 5:31 even you mug comes close to matching the wallpaper. Such a calming yet informative video, Love watching your videos from my wee place north west of Yosemite National Park in California. Thank you!
Right?! I was so glad when the seams matched:))
Yosemite 😍
What a beautiful video! Thank you for the invitation to calm. Your dog is loving when he looks at you! I love the wallpaper! Hello from Alberta 😉💜🐾🇨🇦
I'm dreaming of this while sitting in my car eating fast food.
😂
😂👍
So relatable.
XD love your comment haha
Omg you are a beautiful soul! You make me laugh so hard hahahahaha🤣
We had an unexpected 8 inches of snow yesterday! The perfect day to stay inside to decorate for the holidays. Great job on the wallpaper. It looks great.
Are you able to show more of the sweater you’re wearing? I’m an avid knitter and I can replicate it. Just need to see the front. Thanks, if you have the time
This, to me, is the perfect day!
There’s something lovely about “worn and frayed” isn’t there? Something that has had former lives carries a special energy with it.
This video is so pretty. I love the narration you gave as you shared your thoughts about slow living during the winter. I also love that you referred to your home as a burrow; so cozy.
I use to hate living here in the countryside, I felt stuck and I couldn't wait to make enough money to finally move to a 'first World country' but finding your channel and watching your videos, seeing you living the small town life in the most simple and elegant makes me appreciate my life a little bit more.
I decided to start documenting my life and it's has been so freeing to just be myself and share it with the world . I owe it all to you, you have been my greatest inspiration . and knowing that we share the same faith makes it even better
Thank you 🤗🤗💜
I use to feel the same way. I worked in a hospital and being on call for 34 years caused PTSD, I retired this May, I enjoy being away from illnesses, hurt, death, although I enjoyed those who healed because their journey healed me too, just like the country side is doing for me now. 🧡🕸👍🏻 thank you for sharing your experience.
@@lalobausa2851 living a simple countryside life is a gift. Am glad you are doing better🤗💚
I grew up south of Washington DC....and I feel the same way but in reverse. We're trying to leave here later this year and move into a more rural area.
I too have felt that way living rural. I'm from the city and married a Farmer. I felt isolated and stuck. After watching her videos I'm going to embrace it and move forward.
After a stressful day, I'm now amazingly mellowed out.
Thinking, dreaming. Of unthought, undreamt loveliness that surrounds, yet eludes.
Thank you.
This made me cry, it was just so lovely and sweet :)
Can I ask something
Her videos are really calming. Thank you so much
Here in California, where I live, we don’t get snow. But winter is like Fall and the leaves stay colorful.
I enjoy staring outside: it’s a different kind of beauty!
Now, California Dreamin' is getting more meaningful (to me) :))) 🧡🍁
@@elizozon9373 yes, so well said!! I love California!
love fall
over half of california gets snow in the wintertime, just not the coastal and low elevation regions.
slowing down. As I reach retirement age, although I have lived in the country all my life, I appreciate how you slow down everything to appreciate it. I live in Northern Pennsylvania, USA
How's life there compared to india like
the wallpaper looks so beautiful!
I agree, and I kept saying "oh, it is so beautiful!" as I watched the process unfold.
@@catherinenunan3584 can I ask something
@@harshitkapoor4765 sure.
How wonderful Paola!
That little bit of wallpaper adds a magnificent splash of color and contrast in your cottage. I also love the evergreen embroidery on your bedspread as well. Yes some men do notice those kinds of minor, but significant details.
Are you dipping your feet into basket weaving? Hurray for you I believe, after some start up frustrations, you’ll find it to be quite fulfilling. You know the best thing about making your own craft items is that you are able to make it exactly how you want it to be.
As for thrifting nearly all of my woodworking hand tools are working antiques. The quality of those tools is far superior to anything made today plus they still contain many years of usefulness in them. Oh there truly is nothing better than having the intimate contact through a hand tool with a beautiful piece of heartwood cherry when making a new cherry Shaker kitchen work table.
You have such a sweet, soothing essence. The beauty of you, just truly eases my soul into comfort and creative exploration. I love your aura, ideas, and lifestyle. A gem of inspiration and true peace
Your videos give me peace ❤️
I find peace watching your vlogs ☺️
Loved watching your video just before heading for bed. Sweet, thoughtful & oh-so creative!
I just wanted to say thank you, because these videos give me inspiration to keep pursuing my dream of moving back north and living in a cabin
your videos are sooo calm. I love to watch them
Dang, even your dog's bones are aesthetic. I miss living out in the woods.
Lol that would be normal yet way you said it was lol so much fun.
@@sheliarossell3162 Everything just looks and feels different living in the city. Trying to get out as soon as I can. There too many clean edges and sterile color palettes here.
The vintage wallpaper is gorgeous! 🙌🏻✨
You , your channel are a breathe of fresh air.🕊️🙏🏽🥰🌺💨🌠💖⭐🌬️ Thank you for sharing this with us. 💯
I nominate u for teacher of the year🎒
Aw! ❤️
Yes
I always look so forward to your videos and can’t wait to see what you do next. ❤️
Just the sound of your voice explaining the projects is so comforting. God bless you!
You need to add a table spoon of vinegar to your paste, it will avoid mold on the paste
I live in northern part of india and everyone here is waiting for snowfall eagerly. Lots of love to all you beautiful people
Thank you.
Waiting for snow here too in the mountains of northern california. Prayers for rain in affinity with the earth
@let's grow together, does snow ❄️ really fall in India?🤔.... Just wondering
@@thesocialintrovertchronicles yes, in a lot of parts
We haven't had snow in a few years lots of snow now for 3 days beautiful it use to snow every year a normal wimter.
U r voice n d video is sooo peaceful...it gives so much pleasure n positivity...ur lifestyle reminds me old English movies when life was slow n peaceful....waiting 4 more videos... thanks 4 sharing with us such a nice place😊
I’m always in love with your videos! It’s always such a special day when you upload 💛
I kind of jealous with you... Coz of lots of reasons i always dreamed of living alone since i was a child... Whatever you are doing is my dream to live in mountains alone connected with everyone but alone... Doing my painting growing my own veggies.... but life never gave me that opportunity.... May be some day
But who holds the camera or phone to record These beautiful videos?
The nearer we can get to nature, our nature, the better.
Your channel is a much needed meditation. Thank you so much for taking the time to create such beautiful frames and narratives. This space is a gem🖤
Your life has touch and warmth of 'The Red Velveteen Rabbit' story.
This is so nice and calming
Oooo I’ll have to try making cinnamon branches! I bet the smell lovely! 😍 Also I love your button coaster, it’s super cute ☺️ I can’t wait to see your upcoming holiday video ❤️🌲
I think my daughter asked Santa for “Two Cottage Fairy Videos” in one week. She said, “Maybe the Cottage Fairy will surprise us during the holidays and post an extra video.” Have to say I am hoping the same! It is the little things done with care that bring love and light to a home. Thank you for sharing this light with the world!🥰
Making paste great idea. I was concerned that pest love to eat paste. Try adding some boric acid.
When Scorpio took over the heavens, the time of silence and soul reflection kicks in. Three months of darkness are coming to go deep within. You are living beautifully and I wish I wish I wish I could live in nature like this. Thank you and bless you.
I had no idea how much I needed to watch a wallpaper application until now
Lol
Love the Wind in the Willows! Poor Mole got so homesick and then Ratty turned it into such a wonderful night.
I want to live in Badger's Burrow....
Best, Lore🍃🌿🌱
My favorite time with the big snows is right after it's pretty much all slowed down, but people still don't want to leave their homes yet. Everything is perfectly quiet, and I love it dearly. Doesn't happen too often, as I live in an urban area in CO, but goodness does it bring me joy!
Can I ask something
It's stillness the world stand still.
you're an amazing artist.
Thank you once again for this calm, sweet video. I so look forward to every Wednesday when I can spend time with you in your lovely cottage and to watch them over and over again during the week. You inspired me to make my own Pot Pourri this week. I dried Cranberries, Lemons, Oranges, and pomegranate. Added orange and persimmon peel, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and pinecones. Then I sprinkled an orange essential oil. It is so lovely. Also, Loved the new wallpaper and the reference to one of my most favorite children's books (I am from England, originally.) I now live on Whidbey Island in WA and I'm so fortunate to be able to work from home as an author. There is nothing more magical than sitting by my woodfire this time of year creating places and characters that sweep me away to another time and place. Keep making these wonderful videos I love them so much.
Hi; I'm living outside Winchester in Hampshire, England. Our winters are mainly wet, windy and grey with occasional snow. I love all the seasons except if its too hot and humid. I used to live in Sweden where temperatures would typically be -28 degrees. Winters there are proper - lots of snow, v short days, and v long dark nights. I admire what you're doing with your life. I'm a bit like you myself searching for deeper meaning and roots.
Your hair is gorgeous! The wallpaper turned out beautiful.❤🌲
My dear fairy I love you so much your voice calms me your video relaxing me thank you so much for sharing your best side. We love ur house inch by inch and it’s look like my school days story book..kindly teach how you make all those diys put some videos we are eager to learn.. love from India
I live in Cornwall England , our winters are mild compared to yours 😊 if we do get snow it tends not to last long x
You live a beautiful life.
Yes
Simply delightful. Like a soft meditation.
I wish i could move into nowhere :")
Yes:away from the maddening crowd.
You create such a peaceful and sweet atmosphere and life; immersed in the natural world.
Enjoy the coziness of autumn and winter...
You are definetly Miss Honey, from "Matilda" :-D :-D :-D Don`t you just adore Miss Honey? :-D I loooove that book, and also the movie they made, with Danny De Vito in it as Matilda`s dad :-D epic .... p.s. love that vintage wallpaper and the white bedspread at the beginning.
Can I ask something
I too enjoy tasks that require a great amount of concentration, it helps me relax. Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! #Heart
Can you drop by and put together my IKEA bookcases and chair? 😂
Your videos always leave me feeling calm, uplifted, and inspired. Thank you for sharing!
When I grow up, I am gonna be like this lady.
Can I ask something
We could even handle some cold weather at the moment mini heatwave condition at present and only 3 days into summer stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Looking forward to wind down and enjoy watching this...I live in Northern California, we get flurries here from time to time and an occasional snow day(winter is my favorite . )Fall is beautiful as well as spring. Summer here is hot 🥵.
Flurries??? O.o
@@alinavioleta86 yes, tiny bit of snow flakes, lol

I thought I will be first here.. 😆as always relaxing to watch.🙏
I am in loooooooove with this wallpaper! That is exactly what I was looking for to hang in the bedroom 🤩 Wonderful video! And giiiirl, you are quickly on your way to 1M subscribers 👏👏👏👏👏👏💖 your content just needs to be seen - so much love for detail and beauty. Sending you much love from (somewhat) snowy Germany ❄🎄 Also, have you considered making a Patreon account? I bet loads of people would love to support your efforts with a monthly donation :)
Thank you so much! You are so kind. I have thought about it but haven’t found the time to commit to it, maybe someday! You make me long to see Germany, I was in Frankfurt once briefly and then once crossed from the Czech border, but I never got to see much of your beautiful home! Someday perhaps
I look forward to more of your Yule themed videos! ❄️much love
@@TheCottageFairy I know, it all is so timeconsuming - especially when one tries to live a simple and calm life. UA-cam can be fun but also exhausting :D But I really think Patreon would be worth your while - especially with the amount of effort you put into your videos. The Czech border is very close to me, only about a 20 minutes ride -I do hope we will meet once for enchanted tea and cake somewhere magickal and inspiring :) Have a wonderful rest of the day!
As I find myself beginning to hunker down into a what I've come to know as a dark place in the times of my life I am thankful that I somehow found your wonderfully quiet, cozy, peaceful, tender channel. From the almost silent background music to the warm sun look right brightening the interior spaces each moment is a light into my darkness. Thank you so very much. Also, winter is my most favorite season . Enjoy!
Albania Europe, near Greece. Love your life.
We live in the Northwest Litchfield Hills, Connecticut, nicknamed “The Ice Box”. I look forward to those chilly & cozy snowy days that make me imagine we are living inside of a snow-globe. I love how the snow sparkles like diamonds on the hillside. We have a Nor’easter coming this weekend. Hoping for a few feet of snow.
The flower pattern on the wallpaper is so pretty. Thank you. From South Korean UA-camr Woongkham.💞👍👍👍
This is the most lovely thing I have ever watched.
God im so jealous, I was raised in a rural ish setting and gradually, my life has become more and more involved with the city.... I need to get back, everyone here makes me so stressed and uncomfortable....
This is what happens as children we loose our dreams ment to live from school, and world take it away who ask the children what is your dream? Ok you created life your living create a new one. Hears a book how to live your dream Practical Dreamers Handbook by Paul & Sara Edwards. Until you can live your dream create it where your at in a space or room of your home or apartment. Someone needs to put on line how to start your Dream where your at to the Dream.
The sounds in this video are so soothing, and relaxing. The brush against the wall, the block used to smooth the paper out, peeling the beans. It’s basically ASMR
I am living on an acre of property that backs onto a forest. There is quite a lot of snow here, Northeastern Ontario, and it is simply beautiful. The view from my kitchen window is spectacular. I never tire of the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Winter is my time to do all the indoor chores that I don’t have time for in the summer, drink the peppermint tea that I harvested and dehydrated, and bake beautiful foods and enjoy my preserves. ☮️💕
Hi I am from India just seeing you is so peaceful. Thanks for the calm time.
Very lovely 🙏
Fast forwards to the middle, thinks 'man that soup looks delicious,' discovers it was wallpaper paste.
Lol wonder how she make it I'll look on line.
Can you read a book for us. Your voice is so calming.
I’m in Australia so we are beginning summer and already getting hot sunny days. Christmas in Australia means BBQs and beaches for many. Sue💜
Wow never knew that what winter like?
Lovely girl, sending you big hugs from Croatia
She has Luna Love food’s voice and tonality. So cute
Winter sounds beautiful there. I live in Australia so my winters are beautiful in a different way♥️ I don’t believe any nature is ugly it is just like people different behaviors and personality’s. We don’t have snow but it gets just a bit cold every now and then, still worth the dancing in the rain though.
Wow love your content❤️❤️❤️
Watching your videos always makes me feel better about slowing down with life. I live in a big city and slowing down is looked down upon or considered unproductive. But you made believe otherwise. I think slowing down is vital to your mental health and creativity
You bring my so much joy
the wind and the willows is my favorite book 🤎🪵🍄 i also recently watched the musical on it ☺️ thankyou for ending my day on a good note 🌾🍃🤎☺️
Thank you for helping me look forward to the winter days :)
I can watch you talk and do beautiful crafty things and making cozy drinks and food for hours and hours. Thank you so much for giving us a part of your life, where we can all connect with and hope to seek the joy of little things in life. You are wonderful ❤️ thank you xx
The wallpapering took me back to my childhood.
Yes
It's become my favorite time of the week, the day your videos come out! :)
How can someone not like the way she decorate everything 😀

I fancy the way that you’re gonna welcome the winter. It was really something 💗
Here winters feel colder because of the sea wind, strong winds sting your hands and bite your face. It doesn't really snow, we received a light sprinkle a week ago, but it only lasted two days. I'm looking forward to spring and seeing all the flowers bloom and the blossom trees.
Yes soon
