I’m 76 years old, and I still love watching Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.❤
Winnie the Pooh just never gets old
😊 ❤️ 😊
♥
Oh my goodness I was just thinking I would post watching Winnie the Pooh at 67. Nothing better than Pooh and Christopher Robin and piglet and the rest of the woodland friends!!
Me too!!♥️♥️
This is my little ode to autumn, it’s been a lovely month and I’m so happy to be home! Funny how much you miss it once you are away. Sending much love and warm wishes, let me know if there is a specific video you’d like to see on the channel in the future ❤ I appreciate the support of my art and this channel, thank you so so much
I am curious if you were ever a ballet dancer? My love of all things whimsy started with my love of ballet. ❤
@@perceptiveprof I did do ballet for a bit when I was a child, while I no longer dance I deeply enjoy watching productions! Truly wondrous
@@TheCottageFairy You remind me very much of Clara from the Nutcracker. Thank you so much for sharing your light and bliss.
Would love to know a little about how are you so resilient. Where do you derive inspiration from to face tough times. I have a personality similar to yours, so would like to ask how do you continue to motivate yourself
My Autumn adventure that I'm looking forward to is walking out into the golden Swedish forest with my camera to catch all the burning colors of the season!
A friend of mine always fills a bowl with Autumn leaves and puts tiny strings of candles in the middle of them. It's a lovely autumn tradition!!
Thank you for talking so much about imagination and for using it! ... You are like a modern Anne of Green Gables!... I loved when you made your video The snow fairy. I would love to see more fairytales like that!!
An Autumnal book that I like to read is by the Finish author Tove Jansson. It's called The dad and the sea. I don't even know if it's been translated into English, but it is a very slow, philosophical story about a troll family living on a lonely island. They move there during the Autumn.
Take care and thanks for all the watering inspiration!!
Paola, what a lovely young lady you are :-) You are a modern day Beatrix Potter. I keep expecting Peter Rabbit to crawl under the gate :-) You are everything a parent could wish for in a daughter. I am from England, now living in Washington State , and I thoroughly enjoy listening to you. Your pronunciation of English and Spanish is perfectly delightful. You are humble, kind, hard working, absolutely beautiful in every aspect. You project such a calming personality and atmosphere, that we all love so much. Oh, and keep growing your beautiful long hair :-) Being from England, Autumn to me, is my favourite time of year. Walking with my Dad, in the forests with giant maple leaves, the mushroomed fairy circles :-) And the crisp air.
I live in a small town and I love walking my dog around the houses built in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. With iron fences and architectural work we don’t see anymore. Through the leaves and big trees along the street, full of nuts and squirrels. It feels magical and autumn is my season.
The whole video was lovely, of course, but the first three minutes were just exquisite; your talent for combining words and images and music is truly amazing. It was blissfully relaxing and warm and reassuring.
It was magic
@My Italian Fairy Path Awww, thank you!
As a little girl, i had a mile long walk to school. The fallen leaves would crunch with every step, which created a musical rhythm in my mind. So i would whisper little songs to the beat of my feet!
The 1994 version of Little Women is my absolute favorite and when the weather finally starts to cool off, I find that I always want to watch it again
Same, it's a beautiful version. ❤️
Yes! I just picked it up from my local thrift store 😊
Thank you for reminding me💘 Love that one
That's one of my Christmas movies 😁
I personally take your weekly videos as my reminder to ground myself to my environment and become mindful of my own emotional experiences. Paola, I truly appreciate your efforts and your beautiful beautiful mind. You're truly a fairy 🧚♀️😇
Ahh!!! ❤ thank you so so much
@@TheCottageFairy I agree with this so much
@@TheCottageFairy yaayy! You replied 🥰
Total y absolutame un Hada!!! ❤️🧚♂️
Those who reading this comment i wish you have a wonderful day with love and peace 💚🍃
Thanks! you too! :)
Thank you!! you have a better one.🙂
Thank you Wierdbuggy! Peace and love wishes for your days too!
Many blessings upon your generous heart, BEAUTIFUL soul 😇💫🤗❣❣
@@TheMagickalMedium 😊
I find I can breathe easy when I watch your videos even when I’m at my most anxious. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Me too my dear.
I particularly loved your mentioning our inner child, Paola. How often we forget it, and we shouldn't because it's our true, unblemished self.
Putting the flowers on the pumpkin is such a lovely idea!!
Journaling and listening to your inner child is always a good idea. I feel like as children we are so connected to ourselves because we did not hear too many opinions on how we should be, yet. So this is always a good guide for me to what I actually want. ♥️
Just what I needed after having a lovely day picking apples, collecting rose hips, and hiking through the black forest.
Thank you, Paola, your videos never fail to relax and inspire. 🥰
That sounds like the perfect day that you had
@@outdoorhannah Hello, yes it really was! I did not expect to find so many rose hips. I will dry them to make tea during winter and use them for smoothies 🥰😋
I adore Pooh. I might be 63 but a child at heart. I have a brown stuffed Pooh and books.
My nature walk is in a cemetery, but lately with a bad foot. I have not been able to enjoy walking for me that is really hard. I love nature and alone time. My cemetery is full of wildlife and as of this past year. There is a new little red fox, also a bobcat, deer and all the other usual birds and small animals. And it's full of trees, all in their autumn colors, mushrooms, moss, pines with soft needle beds. It's beautiful and just the place to be alone. To enjoy a bit of silence and peace. There are many winding lanes, and places to sit and reflect. The last 3 days have been in the upper 60s making it to 70. So bright and sunny with a delishious cool breeze. Sigh! So wish I felt better.
A movie I love is On Golden Pond. It's not only about the changing seasons but also a beautiful film about a couple in the autumn of their long lives. It is moving, thought-provoking, and sees the re-establishment of a relationship both depicted and true (in the case of Henry and Jane Fonda). The acting, the setting - on and around Squam Lake - and the music is superb. I'm English but, on a holiday in New England some time ago, visited the lake. Beautiful beyond words.
I now live in the Peak District of England and the view from my window is full of golds, russets, reds, oranges and yellows. So getting out into the forests and woods is a daily pleasure I am so grateful to enjoy
You always take us on a spiritual journey in your nature adventures. You have gift for story telling that can light up our imaginations.
the way you go about and get joy from simple things is hard to explain in words but it calms and settles me , you have a gift you may not know you have ..it helps people.. peace from Ireland 🙂
I love walking in the leaves in October, happily lifting them up in the air with my feet....just as I did as a child. I like your idea of putting flowers on the white pumpkins.
Sense and Sensibility is my favourite Jane Austen book and the 1995 adaptation my favourite film. Like Anne of Green Gables I’m so pleased to live in a world that has an October every year. Thankyou for another beautiful video Paola. ❤️
I love the autumn colors of leaves, pumpkins and gourds. One of my favorite activities is planting bulbs and the anticipation of the first sight of their growth in the spring. We watch the birds taking turns at the feeders and the busy squirrels harvesting acorns. Cozy nights, firelight and hot soup to soothe the soul~
A very dear sweet & mindful soul you are!Your hair across the leaf scatter is glorious✨ thank you for encouraging us all. hugs to you and yours 🐈🍂🐕👨🦱🌲💞
Usually October is about harvesting the last of the garden and orchard, filling the freezers with meat, preserving food, and preparing the garden for winter. Some of it will be put to bed and some will be planted with cold hardy crops. At Samhain, at the end of the month, the garlic gets planted. This is also when I start planning for the next years gardening. Samhain is the "new year" for me, so there are activities, rituals and celebrations centered around the endings and beginnings of natures cycles. Its a time to honor ancestors.
Preparing my altar for Samhain. I add herbs and candles- a time to honour our ancestors. Blessed be.
@@anniecoughlin7142 blessed be!
With October comes not just Samhain, but Scorpio season overall. That sign helps me do a lot of shadow work, especially as I have a relatively strong Scorpio placement. It pushes me to dig deeper and get to the heart of a matter rather than skim over something just because it's difficult. And to try explaining something anything more about that connection is like trying to rake all the leaves without someone trying to dive in. 🤦♀️
I live in Edinburgh, Scotland and there is so much to do. This past weekend the Samhain Witchcraft Market was right down the street from me (same street, three blocks away), and I'm going to the Beltane Society's Samhain Fire Festival and Parade on the 31st. I agree, it's the best time of year for activities, rituals, and celebrating the new nature cycle, or veil, between the abundance of life in spring and summer and the quiet "death" of autumn and winter. A great time for reflection and renewal. I really love the way the Scottish culture embraces it all. It's openly and abundantly celebrated here. Blessed be from an American expat. ❤
@@footstepsthroughhistory It sounds like one of the best places to feed -- and heal -- my soul. But, for me, I would prefer to have someone in my life to share that with. Especially as I would rather just skip Thanksgiving and jump straight into Yule/Christmas. 😜
Paola, I also grew up watching the Court Jester! "With a willow willow walley and a hey nonny nooo!" I love it! Actually, I showed it to my husband after we got married and he liked it too. He quotes it with me all the time 😂 one of my favorite parts is with the switching of the goblets, and also when he gets knighted. We are kindred spirits for sure!
Narration is magical , soft locations , selected are amazing.. The creativity in actions is meaningful. Video work and back music add much mire to reach the theme. The narration is genuin and authenticated . Everything is blended to make me in a heaven . Thanks much for your presentation.
My son 49 years old called last week and said ..mom today I’m remembering Winnie The Pooh Blustery day that we shared when I was 4 , we did walk and he loved the leaves, the wind ….that call warmed my heart that I did a good job as a mom …I taught peace, admiration for the natural on this earth …yes, I did good these memories from him are my rewards. ❤️🙏🏻💕🏆
I love the colors and the sensuality of this season, the smells, the sound of leaves crunching under foot, the sunlight and the rich fertile soil in the process of mulching and planting garlic cloves, and the last of gleaning what is left in the garden and on the trees. Cleaning and decorating for the cold and the change of clothes and food. Baking more often and way more stews, soup and casseroles to make and eat. Kale salads and escarole are the greens that are frequently used in this fall season as well as cabbage and other cold hardy vegetables...carrots, beets,potatoes, winter squash are also available and delicious. I love the fall!
Central Florida has cooled down a bit post Hurrricane Ian. I’m thankful my area of FL has mostly bounced back. Yesterday, I took a friend to Barberville Pioneer Settlement, which has model trains, blacksmithing, broommakers, and folk musicians. There was lots for both of us to explore and get excited over. It was a truly beautiful way to spend an autumn afternoon. We’ve been invited back in a couple of weeks for a festival, where I can bring my violin and just learn from everyone there.
I live in Florida as well, 40 years ago we owned 10 acres which was next to the Barberville Speedway. After a few years, the noise was a bit crazy. We moved closer to Ormond Beach where we both worked. Beautiful areas!!!!
The music during the pumpkin patch scenes had me racing to a notebook to start writing, it was like a call to the soul. I love feeling so motivated when I watch your videos, your channel gives so much
Stuff like that makes me so happy to read because I feel exactly the same. The urge to suddenly go out and create! I had a similar feeling when I saw that fairy forest.
I love autumn, it is one of my favorite seasons. I love nature walks, the woods are so beautiful right now. Warm days and cool nights, fires in the fire pit, hot tea with honey, tea cakes, cozy throws and watching old movies. Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, Practical Magic and so many more. Thank you for another lovely video, so soothing to the soul.🧡💛🤎❤️🍁🍂
"a journal ...a useful tool when immersing yourself in the beauty of imagination" very wise and inspiring words.
This is the time of the year for me to watch "Coraline".
The author of the book the story relies on, Neil Gaiman, also wrote the "Stardust" book.
That walk down the road around the 1 minute mark was absolutely DREAMY 💕🥰💕❣❣
P.S. Kitty is getting so BIG 😻 !
I inherited my grandfather's small compass which he used when sailing to fish in the Philippines... it is so interesting to watch as you walk ... it feels grounding no matter where you actually are !! Thank you for all the reminders to listen to our inner child ! ❤️
I had the most wonderful Autumn this year! Probably one of my most "intentional" ever. From nature walks to apple picking, baking to antiquing and thrifting, we kept very busy and enjoyed every moment. We even took our kids and grandchild on a train ride to a pumpkin patch where we got cookies and cider and got to pick pumpkins! Also, I'd just like to say my favorite "curl up" movie is also one from my childhood. I absolutely love watching the 1960's version of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella! The dialogue and fake sets are corny, but the music is magical and Lesley Ann Warren is wonderful. My go to autumn movie...Maybe it's the pumpkins? lol
I watched The Court Jester for the first time last year with some lovely and precious friends of mine who I used to work out with. An utterly charming and fun movie that holds up well with time!
I couldn’t help repeating “the pellet with poison is in the vessel with the pestle…” 😂
I keep thinking about the enchantment you have added to Luke's life. He is a lucky guy!
Fall season means driving to the Poconos to see the bright and beautiful colors of the leaves ~ I enjoy the scents of fall in the woods. Fall also means picking and baking apples in desserts and cooking up neck pumpkins for holiday pie making later. Watching old Disney movies from my childhood always brings comfort. I also love the PBS series that remind me of simpler times such as “all creatures great and small”.
Winnie the Pooh is adorable. I relish childrens books and childlike things as they are so delightful. I am 75 and never have outgrown my love for toys. I play all the time in my journaling and craft projects. I never will change by choice. I keep a nursery for my grand daughter to enjoy with all my treasures many of which are antiques she can enjoy.
Ahh "Sense and Sensability"..one of my all time favorites..
I have never seen a more curious cat. He is fun to watch.
She’s very involved in everything I do haha! 😂 very curious to be sure
Thank you for bringing calm and natural beauty in our lives before the work week starts. A book you may all enjoy is The Island of Missing Trees-one of the main character voices is through a fig tree!
"The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle..." Right when you said Danny Kaye's movie The Court Jester I instantly repeated the phrase he has to remember. It's been years since I've seen it but I still remember those lines from when I was younger. Another wonderful video and I like how you fancied up the pumpkin with the dried flowers. Beautiful!
I love The Court Jester! That was one we watched all the time in my childhood too, and I still rewatch it. Danny Kaye! Glynis Johns! Basil Rathbone! Angela Lansbury! It’s a comedy classic. We quote that movie all the time, so many great lines 😂 Another classic movie I love this time of year is Arsenic and Old Lace (Carey Grant, Priscilla Lane, Peter Lorre) 🎃🍂🍁
I meant to add: Thank you for your encouragement to slow down and do things we enjoy. I’ve renewed my love of painting and mixing colors to make new ones, and then apply them to the art project I’m working at that moment. When I first started the painting again I thought “I have so many things I should be doing…But I’m having so much fun…who cares…the things will be there when I get done.” 😃 And I spent as much time as I wanted painting some wooden fall signs I had found. It was the best “opposite of my normal routine” that I have had in a long time. I really enjoyed it! Thank you again.🦋🌈🌺
The Court Jester is an all time favorite! We grew up watching this movie and could practically quote and sing the whole thing! A hilarious classic! 👌🏻
imagine living a beautiful simple
life like this ✨
"The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle." The very best part of the Court Jester. I always take a week off in the middle of October in order to go hiking in Northern part of lower Michigan and/or go camping. It's good to get away from all worries and soak up the beauty of Michigan in the fall.
I am 69 years old and love your paintings bought 2 but will definitely buy more we didn't have CD when I was younger but I read a lot and I loved to start school in the autumn. Now I just love the colours and maybe will look up some old movies thanks for your wlog greetings from Iceland 🇮🇸
@Luca Angelo Hafnarfirdi Iceland
We live in the pumpkin growing capital of the country Illinois… so we have many pumpkin patches. Some very full of kids activities, some more simple but fun. We have Pumpkin Patch Day in our family. We visit pumpkin patches, have a delicious fall lunch at home, carve our pumpkins and do Halloween crafts.. we all participate from youngest to oldest. Such a fun fun time… creating those special family memories. ❤
I am so glad you affirm the wonderfulness of the outdoors, I worry about people staying inside and not having outside time to connect with our earth.
'Planes,Trains, and Automobiles ' is a great movie around the holidays...or anytime really. Sooo funny. 😆
Thank you for a lovely video. I love to collect Fall leaves, press them and also collect pods, acorns, small pine cones and make natural wreaths with them and give to friends and family. I love to hike in the woods and bring a small journal, that I make note of where I am, the birds I identify, anything interesting along the trail and then sketch something to remember from the hike. Enjoy the rest of this very special month. 🍂
I’m 67 and I love Wind in the Willows. Dolls houses and fairy doors 😂❤
I like painting fall themes on wood and canvas. Walking in forest seeing the fall colors. I like hunting for acorns of which this season , they are scarce. Those squirrels have been busy, an omen of a harsh winter to come here in Illinois. While walking in woods brings back memories of picking up walnuts with my best friend and her mom. I feel so rejuvenated in the fall, perhaps because I was born in early November . I enjoy your stories and activities. At soon to be 73, I also have a little girl heart and reminisce of days past.Hearing the rustle of the dry leaves underfoot, watching a wooly caterpillar crossing the path, and the grace of falling leaves, all hint at the winter to come. Thank you for sharing you adventures.
This October was warm with the crisp autumn air. I love the changes of nature. The activities I enjoy is nature photography, fall festivals, pumpkin patches, going to the orchard. As a family we like to go on a little weekend trip to the Amish villages.🍂
Oh my God, I love The Court Jester too! I've never heard of anyone outside of our family that did. Just remember, "the vessel with the pestle holds the brew that is true." 😆 Also, I have to say that you looked just like Alice from Alice in Wonderland with your hair down and wandering the woods, whose Disney animated version is also one of my favorite Autumn movies, though I am far too old to admit that to my peers, lol. It hasn't much to do with the season in its storyline, but I first saw it as a child in the Fall and now I'll forever associate it thus. Thank you for the whimsy and wonder, as always!
I love the photography in this particular video, and how you caught the majesty of the places you walked. Thank you for sharing.
Each video of yours feels like a chapter of a great book
Another beautiful vlog😍 thank you for sharing🌹. I love going to the parks, forrests to find dead leaves, all shapes, colors and patterns, take them home and arrange them for a picture. Then return them to where I found them (because I imagine others have the same love for fall leaves🍂🍁 and might pick them up to enjoy😍). All the best to you and thank you again🧡🍁🍂🧡
Hello how are you doing?
I have, for as long as I can remember, (I am 75) been a person who enjoys the fall season here in Pennsylvania. It’s my favorite time of the year. I enjoy listening and watching all that you share with us. Thank You & Best Wishes🍎🍁🍂
thank you the cottagefairy i enjoy you every sunday by learning a lot of things from you.
My birthday was October 7 and I celebrate being 62! I enjoy your gentle spirit so very much!
Here in middle western Germany, we had a really beautiful golden October! So many nice days, with soft sunshine and colorful leaves.
We love this time of the year most...it's warm over the day, without burning you, and in the morning and evening you can already smell the frost a little bit 😄
In autumn I love to little jaunts with my husband. This week we spent a couple of days in northern Washington and I even visited the sweet Trail's End Bookstore and purchased a few early Christmas gifts. :)
Whenever I want to search for peaceful chill and calm videos..... I searched for this channel....
This channel's videography is spiritual and divine....
Thank you for another stunning vlog Paola, that fairy forest was absolutely STUNNING. October here in Sweden is beautiful, absolutely amazing fall colours, and nature walks are part of my daily routine, too. :) Sending lots of hugs across the pond, from my cottage to yours ❤
I turn 54 today and your video was my birthday gift. Thank you Paola
Autumn presents a certain ambience of foreboding, but the vibrant colours of the tree leaves leaves one with the sense of life springs a new. You always leave us with such an indubitable feeling of longing with your brilliant story telling narratives.
👍
Ahh thank you so so much, I appreciate it ❤
Well said
My wife and I have missed you this past week. Always look forward to your videos and all you have to say. Perhaps it’s the way you say it. I’am not sure but we find it relaxing. Your wise to be so young and you explain your feelings so well. Perhaps it’s because of your moving from place to place when you were young and your education but I believe it’s the way you were raised and the things you went through that were difficult. I’ve always believed that you learn more about what’s really important when it’s hard and difficult and you come out of it.
On a personal note I wanted to say how much you resemble our young granddaughter who just turned 16. It’s like looking at her 9 years from now when we look at you. She is artsy, whimsical and left handed like you and we love her so much.
May the Lord bless you and your husband all your families and your book sales. We have ordered ours and can’t wait to read it.
We’re sending all our love to you too.
Amen!
I love to take forrest walks while the trees shower me with golden leaves. Pick maple tree leaves and make leave roses and decorate wreaths with them.
Hello how are you doing?
In October, I stopped watching the news and started watching The Cottage Fairy! I feel calmer and more accepting of myself, others and the beautiful world around me….It’s springtime in Australia 😊
The first part of this video was so otherworldly. Thank you for sharing ❤
There is no autumn , only constant tropical summer, where we live. I greatly miss seasons and so appreciate your seasonal videos immersed in nature.
Try watching "Trout and Coffee" for seasonal videos on you tube. He lives in Vermont and every season brings so much beauty and adventure.
I’m doing a Victorian Poe themed party for my grandchildren and their friends. Always so much fun.
Oh what is that!!
Danny Kaye? We are true kindred spirits. I grew seeing all of movies!!! Amazing. Autumn and Spring are my favorites seasons.!!!
We are blessed to live where the colors are ablaze so we walk daily. Just yesterday, we sat under a crimson & yellow maple tree eating lunch amidst all the incredible colors & felt so grateful! We pick apples, press leaves, bake pumpkin-cranberry bread, paint mason jars (for fairy lantern gifts for Xmas) & today we’re picking a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. I made my first apple butter w the apples we picked (w extra cinnamon😉)We like to go to the outdoor farmer’s markets & craft fairs. On crisp, clear autumn nights, we go stargazing & try to find constellations & planets. I like to read Edgar Allen Poe this time of year & just enjoy all the magic that is autumn.🍎🍁🍂🎃🧡
A forest walk with the scent of mint, how dreamy. You looked so pretty in your dress and boots on your walk. I am a collector of leaves, rocks, nuts, and flowers when I walk. Autumn has so much to offer. I am glad to see you are feeling better. You look very happy.and healthy. Take care.
I think you would love the movie The Trouble With Harry. It was filmed in Vermont in Autumn. It's one of my favourites. It also looks like where I grew up in the Ottawa Valley in Ontario Canada. Have a beautiful Sunday Paola💖
I live in Rome,Italy,and it's rather difficult to have that daily contact with nature you describe so vividly in your videos. But your videos are a cozy corner of peace and light thouths,and I'm so happy to have find you!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I'm 69 on Halloween. When I was a child and I learned about Halloween I used to be so scared when I went to bed. Now I loved to dress the house for autumn with pumpkins and autumn leaves. I'm looking forward to your book.
The Court Jester is a family favorite! We would quip quotes from it all the time 😂
“The pellet with the poison’s in the vessel with the pestle…”
Just turned 50. My hubby and I love to go to the park and swing on the swings like kids! The only obstacle is finding big enough swings for our bottoms!!
Today we went up to the lake and had a winter picnic..fire, hot dogs,, marshmallows and hot chocolate. Higher up the snow has covered the mountain peaks. It was a fun day with the great grandsons.
Lovely pumkin flower art - very creative! 🌿 I work with children with special needs & we visited a pumpkin farm this week too. Such a lovely grounding activity. You look glowing by the way 🌟
Always a weekend delight to watch your beautiful video with my fresh brewed coffee and my purring kitty beside me. A moment sprinkled with magic.
After a long work week, your videos never fail to take me back inside of myself, releasing the world, and honouring myself with all that fills me up; so akin to what your delightful videos are all about.
As always, thank you.
Where I am October has 40f and 80f days so my October thing is enjoying summery, borderline wintery days and everything in between in such a short amount of time. A reminder to enjoy the twists and turns of change instead of dreading it.
I thought I was the only person who still loved Danny Kaye movies. He was before my time but I love them. His life story is very interesting. Thank you for always making my anxiety a little better. I hope you know how many people you really do help. 🎃
Danny Kaye movies are whimsical and so fun!! They take me back to when I was a young child when movies were more innocent and not laced with disrespectful brats with mega attitudes...Simpler, sweeter times. Also many of the movies promoted very good moral virtues. 🤩
Danny Kaye is a wonderful performer! His roles in The Court Jester and White Christmas are some of my favorite performances ever!
I love Danny Kaye movies. I'd love to have met him.
I'd like to feel Autumn more, but things have been so fast this year for me. But a sip of tea with apple comport and watching riping persimmons on trees and plumpy pumpkins are giving me the feel of autumn.
Thank you as always, please enjoy and take care.
The King’s Jester is one of my all-time favorite movies!
You are a treasure to our world! Thank you.
I love to gather leaves in my large baskets and spread them nicely around my fireplace with pumpkins 🎃..
I always collect acorns,they make wonderful hats for tiny clay creatures. 🍂🍁🎃
Paola, I just saw in my email that I won a gift but that was a month ago😞. I realize it has been so long. I just want to say that your beautiful videos provide so much peace and joy to me that a gift is not needed. Have a beautiful, lovely holiday season. 🧣❄️🧤
Love the mindful narrative and literary style, and the production quality of the videos. Recommended the channel to everyone in my company.
I am loving the brilliant maple leaves fluttering down on this warm sunny day...
Autumn is such a lovely season..pressing flowers is a nice activity
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a leaf I thought was uninteresting lol. I LOVE plants of all kinds. And flowers. My obsessions are plants, flowers, lanterns and candles. I was born in Washington and miss it sooooo much. I’d love to be there, walking through the woods, collecting leaves,pine cones, and branches. Some fern leaves would look amazing on a pumpkin. I bought a large white faux pumpkin to use as a project. I’m going to carve out a large hole and use paper clay and paints to make it look a little more realistic on the outside and turn the inside into a Mouse House for my felt mouse collection. I even bought tiny Christmas lights to put on it for Christmas. I’m going to make furniture and use lots of things like Moss and wood pieces etc. Anyway, Im pretty low energy too unless it’s right after morning coffee lol. But, that isn’t a BAD thing, we can get Plenty done just sitting in a chair and bringing to life, what’s in our imaginations. As Always, thanks for the AWESOME video!
I LOVE The Court Jester! My friends introduced me to it in 8th or 9th grade, and it has held a special place in my heart ever since. 🥰
The autumn forest looks magical 🍁🍂
