So happy as I know you are that the water is fixed. I believe the property owner should have at least paid for you to go to a gym for showers and bring bottled water for tenants. Charlie is so smart!❤
I luv the rain AND snow but live in a desert! Anyway, if you rent, shouldn’t the landlord be putting you up somewhere til you have water? Water is a requirement and the landlord is responsible. I don’t know the laws there but you have to have plumbing, safe water. Just saying
@@littlebohocottage so glad to hear! I just love your channel and dream of a cottage like your so I just live vicariously through you, ha! Where I live we do not get much rain and it will be 112 tomorrow! I'm praying to be able to move up north to the mountains one day, and soon. I am basically a winter person living in the desert! Not my fault I ended up here, ha, but my kids live here. (One in the mountains)
I just found your channel yesterday, and I just wanted to say hi. You are living my dream. What state are you in? Kinda looks like Tennessee or Northern Florida. Anyway, I love your channel..Judy
I got one of those archways and reslly secured it down well and put plastic covered wire mesh over it secured with cable ties and it was fab with jasmine and another climber going over it x
Yay for running water!!! I'm excited to have another North NJ thrift store to check out too! By the way, in the off chance you did get a really crazy storm and needed to shelter in your cottage, tipping the sofa or pulling your mattress off partway and getting under the "cave" is the safest thing! It buffers you from a lot of pointier things and gives some good protection from windows.
Tip: For smells inside purses - after cleaning the bag - spray a washcloth with 'Fabreeze' (unscented) and leave it inside the bag for a day or so - you could also put the bag in the sun, as long as it won't fade. I think your metal archway is going to work perfectly for you - once the flowers start making their way around it - just be sure that it is stuck in the ground far enough (wind) - P.S. Loved the fringe you put on your sofa in your last video & that sweet thrifted pillow.
Water sure is a huge blessing! I’m so glad yours is back. We lost water and it made me wonder what would happen if we truly lost it for a good while. I bought those clean water straws on Amazon that you can clean 2,000 gallons each with- and they’re portable and can go in your bag. I also have a Berkey gravity fed water filter that can clean pond water to drinkable and safe if need be. I probably worried too much about that- but if you know, you know! Your thrift finds are superb 🎉 blessings to you this week ❤
You're smart! I should get one of those straws! I have a Berkley and use it for the well water. But I wasn't brave enough to use it with the collected rain water!❤❤❤
@@littlebohocottage the straws are great! I start to imagine being stuck somewhere and the whole world shut down 😂😂 what would I drink!!? I can survive for a while without food…but not water …and if I have to walk home, I would dehydrate 😁 my 3am musings💧and correction…it’s 5,000 liters per straw which is about 1300 gallons. 🙃 that’s a lot of water!
I love watching you , we have so much in common. But I’m a little bit older lolo I have a chihuahua her name is Libby Louann I’m a thinking if I wasn’t in Oregon …….. Charlie a Libby should get married!! Lolol
Just popping in to say that I made an arch, of rusty iron. It was the fall 2 years ago. I went to the garden center, they sell plants at a discount in the fall. I bought a clematis, I think its called snow queen. Now it is so big you cant see the arch, and I have to prune it back regularly. It is just beautiful I dont even water it. 😍 Have a wonderful weekend.
Our well motor went out last night so we are without water. The temperature is 105 here in Texas and rain is not forecast. Watching you stand in the rain and imagining how it feels and smells in such a green place made me a little green. Hubby bought a new motor, but it’s too hot for two senior citizens to pull and replace the motor. Hubby plans to do it in the cooler time tomorrow morning. I’m dreaming of a shower or at least the ability to wash my hair. The sink is full of dishes and life is inconvenient at the moment, but it will be fixed soon enough. Can’t ever take our blessings for granted. Praying for rain now!
nooooooooooo. I can truly say I feel your pain!!!!!! I so so so so so hope it gets fixed really soon. And that on top of that, you get rain as a bonus! Big hugs, my friend!❤❤❤
Kate, thank you for sending us the gift that is Ray LaMontagne! I’m often taken by the beauty you show us, but listening to that song and others has been a joy as well. 🙏
I adore your garden, sorry the deer keep eating your flowers. I tried taking a spray bottle adding water and several drops of Lavender oil, I shake it well and spray it around the flowers I don't want the deer to eat, it seems to work but has to be reapplied fairly often. If you try this just do it on a small area first because I'm not sure how the oil will affect your flowers. I was putting it on my Hosta lilies. I just love your Charlie he is so cute. I am glad you finally have water, I can't imagine how bad that must have been. Enjoy your week end. God Bless.
Charlie is definitely spoiled! ❤ I love the new shoes! Great find! Have a great weekend. I'm glad the water is back on. And of course, kiss Charlie for me! 😊
My name is Ramona and there aren’t many of us in this world. Your sweet Ramona hit it out of the park with that carry bag for Charlie! And those solar dragonflies are terrific! 😊
Gingerbread castle in NJ was a great place years ago. Enjoyed visiting in the 1960s. Sadly it's derelict now. Love all your videos. Glad you have water once again.
The weather is so crazy even plants are confused ! Beautiful glad your well was fix ! Be safe ! Much love to you and Charlie ❤ love all your vlogs as well photography!!😊
Glad you got your water back!Such a relaxing video. Love the black purse you got,so cute!Charlie is so adorable and so smart! He looks so cute in the new pet carrier! Have a great weekend!
Having no water is awful, been there. I felt your suffering through this. But, we make do and do what we can. And yes, we appreciate it more when we do get it back. The simple things we take for granted, until we no longer have them, change your mindset (at least for me). I love your videos. Keep doing you. ❤
Ten days without water....that is very difficult! The Amazon archway for 19.99 is a great buy! Your garden looks great. Charlie has matured into such a good boy, and very smart.
That rain "shower" looked so refreshing! When we were kids we would love that. So many cute finds in the thrift stores, I could spend an hour or two looking through it all. LOL. Little Charlie is so adorable, he just fit perfectly in that bag. That archway looks very nice, my brother has one and he put a hummingbird feeder on one side. They come back every year, beautiful to see. So glad they fixed the water problem. Thank you for sharing with us, have a wonderful weekend. Sending much love & peace to you and Charlie, Gail.❤️🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀p.s. Those shoes are beautiful!!!
Thanks for yet again a nice video. Charlie will look adorable in his sweater…..he is of course spoiled but with all the good things a wee dog could ever hope for.
It is soooo true! And rightfully so dear sweet little cutie patootie Charlie!! Hi Kate. The garden arch is great and will be beautiful filled with morning glories. I think I want one if I can find a spot for it! So glad you have water. Speaking of, I was swimming in the lake the other day and up popped an otter…we were face to face. He was so cute. I said hello there and down he went. Thing is, I thought of you because I know you would have loved the surprise encounter as much as I did.💕Love Angie.
I love Charley...He's sooooo cute.The bag fits him perfectly and he really likes it.Glad your water is on.That was a drag being out for so long.You and I are a lot alike. My bedroom is boho and I love it!!!! Very soothing to be in there with my cat and my conure.. I am trying to teach her to talk. She only wants to talk when her cage is covered.. I'll keep at it..
Hi Kate. I am so glad you finally got your water back. I loved where you stood in the rain and just soaked it in! You are so much fun. It is so beautiful and lush there. Your cottage is like a little hidden jewel around and under all the landscape and trees. So pretty! I love the arch you put in your garden and the dragonfly lights are so cute! I'm glad Charlie likes his little carry bag! It made me smile to see him jump in and poke his cute little head out. Such a "good boy". Glad you were able to find some new spots to thrift. I loved the VW bus and bug. So cute. Brings back memories of my teens! I hope you and Charlie have a great weekend. Thank you Kate for another amazing video! Vivian from Texas
How did you know we all said "yes he is"? I had a nice chuckle at that. Lovely video once again Katie. I just love to go along with you wherever. It calms my mind. Glad you got your water back too. Lots of love xxx
Glad you have your water back now. I hope that archway holds up for you...that was a great price. It's going to look so pretty and cottagy once the plants are grown up and over it. Charlie is a smart little guy....knowing he'd get a snack when he'd go in the carrier. That's probably why he wanted to stay in it. lol
Gardening is the ultimate act of hope- maybe my dad used to say that or maybe I read it somewhere but watching you put up your arch made me think of that. I really enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing your life with us
My sister lives in Germantown and I absolutely adore the area! When I am able go visit her, I find it’s one of the few places my anxiety seems to float away. ❤
Hi Kate an Charlie thanks for this beautiful video love watching youse my friends, that bag It's so gorgoues l love it,definitely have wonderful taste in things 😊 An l love your garden arch it's beautiful where you put it, l want one too for my front garden now 😮 Yes nothing beats the beautiful rain 🌧 l looooove it an its raining 🌧 here at the moment just beautiful watching it, Charlie is so adorable in his little bag such a cutie 🐕 Have a wonderful week Kate and Charlie stay well an Happy 😊❤❤🌏🌐🌐🌐🌐🌎🌎🌎🌏
Hi Kate! So glad you FINALLY got water!! Oh my goodness...that must of been SO HARD!! Charlie was SO CUTE in his New Carry On Bag!! 💚💚💚💚 Im glad you were Safe in that Tornado. All the best with your Perfume and with your Arch. You adding those Grapevines, Dragon Fly Lights and your Flowers make it look so welcoming!! 🤗 Hope you have a beautiful weekend!! 😊☺️😁
I love summer thunderstorms! Thank you for sharing that! There is nothing quite like standing in the rain on a warm summer's day. Happy to hear that your water is finally! Wow, that was a long time. You do know your landlord, by law, must compensate you for the inconvenience? You should not be paying for those ten days that you had a home that was not in livable working order. It wasn't that long ago that you were looking at a barren garden, filled with weeds, and now look how beautiful it is!🌸🌿🪻🌱 Love the willow branches and dragonfly lights!💫💫Hope you manage to stay cool, beautiful Kate, on these hot summer days. We are cooking over here in Hawaii!🥵 As always, sending much aloha your way!🌺🌈🙋♀️
I hope it cools down soon for you over there in Hawaii : ) And thank you for the garden encouragement!!!!!! It's come a long way, that's for sure!!!!!!!!!! have a lovely week!❤❤❤
We finally got a good soaker in southern Ohio today after days of hot dry weather. Your adorable dog is really responding to your training. What a cutie.
Charlie is so smart and was adorable in his new bag! Loved the video..the arch will be beautiful. Solar dragonflies...how neat! So glad u have water! Hugs from Tennessee!❤
Greatest of snags on the Vince Camuto shoes!! They are so perfect on you and they are shoes that I have worn for so long…you will love them! The new arch in the garden is just perfect or your Morning Glorys…cannot wait for them to take over. Hope you and Sweet Charlie enjoy your week💖
Great video! If you loose water again due to a leak or electric outage, you can put up a tarp to capture rain water and place a 5 gallon plastic bucket under it to collect a lot of rain water. It would be a good lesson to test out in case you need it again. 💖🤗🐕
It’s a coincidence, but I just found the cutest Fossil bag at a thrift store near here for $5! I love it so much. I live in Western Massachusetts, so I feel like we’re neighbors! ❤️
Sweet..Look at the bee balm emerging again, I love it! Charlie was so cute jumping in and out of the bag and I love your thrifting and that Fossil bag..nice! The archway is a great edition to the garden, looking forward to watching its transformation. Have a lovely weekend Kate and Charlie! 🧡💛💚
Your garden is so beautiful this year and the bee balm is everything!!❤ you really have a knack for growing things. I really like thoes bottles with petals in them. It's like sunshine in a jar and beautiful. Your whole cottage and garden have the best vibe to them. You and your love for nature has brought that place to life. Charlie was pretty cute doing the things you were teaching him. ❤ you and Charlie have a great weekend. Oh ya, I found a couple of cool 😎 thrift store finds today too. It's so much fun especially when you score some great finds.❤
Thank you!!!!! But I will totally admit the bee balm is super easy to grow! So if you are looking for a plant for your garden that makes you look like a good gardener, bee balm is the one : ) ❤❤❤
I've lived in the south all my life so I'm use to the catastrophic weather mindset. If you get the warnings again you should carry all the cushions and pillows you have into your bathroom to put over yourself and Charlie. It will shield you both somewhat from any flying glass should the glass break. I think you chose the best room you could. they say to get in the tub and cover yourself with a mattress but a big mattress is too heavy for some of us to move alone so the couch cushions and pillows is the next best thing. Maybe the water situation is Spirit nudging you to learn new ways of replacing the systems we have in place now with ways from the past in case we might need that knowledge in the future. As always your video was a very welcome sight. I find your photography very relaxing and your voice as well. Hoping that you and Charlie stay safe and have a wonderful rest of your summer as well as the beginning of fall.
Hi Kate 👋 I'm so glad you were safe from the tornado 🌪 I absolutely love the hippie ✌️vehicles. I love your shoes & purse👡👜 Charlie is adorable. I think he likes his doggie bag🛄 💙 Yes i think he may be spoiled🥰I love marigolds 🏵🐝🌼Loves sweet friend 💛💐
I am so happy your water is back on! We also have had some amazing summer storms here in Calgary. We had a hail storm that completely destroyed my beautiful flourishing garden a few days ago along with all my flower pots…. It was heartbreaking 😢 I guess I will just look forward to starting again next summer. Your garden with all its greenery looks so lovely and lush! Thank you for such a wonderful video 🌷❤️🇨🇦🌷❤️🇨🇦
Hi Kate. I'm glad that you have water again. What an adventure THAT was for you. The rain that you're getting looks and sounds luscious! I'm jealous. Summers where I live in rural northeast Washington state are warm and dry but our nights are divinely cool. We are just starting to cool down in the daytime too now and getting some short but sweet pre Autumn rain showers. Some birds have begun their long migration south already also. A quieter forest vibe as Summer winds down. Charlie's new carry bag is sweet as are the both of you. I bet those Vince Camuto heels sold for $150 new! Score! PS I used to be near 5ft 10in but now at 71yo I'm only 5ft 6½in. The shrinking woman!
I ordered Bee Balm seeds after seeing your videos showing them.💚 Now all I have to do is remember where I've put them when the time comes to plant them!😂
I enjoy your videos, I have a health condition now so not able to do outdoor stuff but I get to see it with your videos and cheers me up. I also enjoy your voice and friendliness. I love thrifting too.
I have the same arches connecting my raised bed gardens. I have wrapped them with chicken wire, put solar fairy lights on them, and let my veggies grow up the sides. They are beautiful!
I love playing in the rain! It's getting dry again here, so I can hardly wait for another cool shower 😊 I hope you get running water in your Cottage soon🙏🙏🙏
A perfect video for the end of the week. Cup of tea in hand and curled under a blanket, I thoroughly enjoyed watching, Kate! I’m jealous of your rain. It has been blazing hot here in California and I’m looking forward to fall. Happy weekend to you and Charlie! ♥️♥️
Charlie is just adorable❤️ I love his sweet little face. I think his new sweater is accurate😂 He might be ever so slightly spoiled. Don’t tell him I said that. Anyway, this was another fabulous video and I am so thankful you have water again!
Charlie jumping in his bag and jumping in again was so adorable , thanks for having him in your clips , it’s so calming to watch him ❤ makes everything comfy and pretty , his carry on bag looked so warm and cozy, put a soft blanket in it so he feels more cozy in it
