I have to tell you...and it's so funny the people who've made an impact on us to the point we think of them even though we don't actually know them...I stopped by one of my local thrift stores this morning and found some lovely things. One of them was a hunter green, gold button, double breasted coat. I saw it and immediately grabbed it. After gasping, the thought I had was, "Oh, Josie would highly approve of this!" Lol. The best part....I only paid $10 for it! Big fan of the thrifting. For my ladies who have extremely tight budgets, I can't recommend thrift stores enough. You do have to work a bit, but you can find wonderful things for wear and for home for next to nothing. I've found cashmere and silk before. I found a vintage Aigner trench coat for 7 bucks! And beautiful antiques for home. The coat I just got really does look like something that came out of the Cotswolds, personally styled for me by Josie. Haha. 10 bucks.
Yep. I live in an ultra- wealthy resort town ( I'm the poor neighbour 😁), and I bring designer gear home all the time...often with tags attached. I'm fussy and I know how to pick quality. I have so many different needs...beach-wear, obviously, but also office-wear, going out, going shopping etc. I always get compliments. I just need to learn to take them, without telling people where the clothing comes from. LOL.
@Bernita Jenkins lol I live in a pretty poor area of America overall but we still have great thrift stores. I'm poor, too. Lol. How lucky are you to have your stores! You're so funny.....tell EVERYONE where you got it and how little you paid for it!!! I surely do! 😁
@@emilyallen8436 I get so excited 😀 I've scored Fendi jeans, Alaia trousers, a long, brown leather trench(vintage) and a houndstooth trench. My twin sister gets so cranky, because she never finds anything 😁 Have a cool Yule, Emily.
❤ Charlie and Josie ❤ a little Christmas poem to thank you... The frosty fields, the furry boys, the fire, the film, so many joys! Your advent hunt, your yummy food, you trim the tree, and all is good. Charlie's chatter, Josie's smile, you help to make our day worthwhile. We thank you that you share your days, it brings us comfort in countless ways! 🎄 much love, Linda and Edward in Canada 🇨🇦
You and Charlie are a perfect picture of what I think life in the English countryside of the Cotswold would be like. You both are so good together and complement each other so well. I love how involved and committed to each others projects. That shows what's all to come and feel so lucky to get to be a part of it. Thank you and Charlie so much for sharing!
I would love to see a walking tour of your house someday! It was fun watching Charlie follow you around with the camera. I didn’t realize how quirky some of the hallways to the house were! I love it!
This is my favorite Vlogmas video so far: the snow, the decorations, your walk with the boys, the fire in the fire place. And I cannot forget Josie's hunt for Charlie's treasures in the house. These are what make wonderful memories. Well done.
Definitely the best vlogger and vlogmas out of ‘the girls’. As much as I still watch the others, I love the authenticity of your videos and the chapters. Also they are in real time and not filmed weeks in advance! So I feel like I’m living it all with you! X
Love seeing more nooks and crannies of your stunning property. The beams … oh the beams takes me back to being a kid in my parents old 17th century cottage and getting lost in a maze of different rooms. Makes me miss my dad more at this time of year. You guys seem so so lovely and Charlie is a diamond 💎.
I love the Vlogmas intro so much-it’s like Charlie is coming home to Josie, and it’s so cosy. And I just noticed the snowflake border! Super festive. ❄️
Another fabulous vlog. P.s does Charlie ever talk you to sleep? He always has so many facts about something. You could say oh its lovely and snowy outside and Charlie would stand for an hour telling you facts. Hes so funny 🤣 have a gorgeous Christmas xxxx
The attic area of your house is si nice. Love the rooms - you recently showed one of the rooms with a gorgeous chest in it & the landing area with that lovely desk is so classy and stylish - nothing is overstated. Again love that area of the house. I did comment the other day & I am going to say it again so nice to see genuine people on RU-vid - not pretentious in the slightest just being themselves. You are presenting a grt vlogmas.
It’s A Wonderful Life is our traditional film to listen to each Christmas season. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Hope you get to see it! Thanks for sharing the snow. Living in Georgia, USA, we don’t see too much snow even though we are in the mountains. It’s foggy and rainy here today. Merry Christmas!
Omgoodness the snow is magical and the setting beautiful!!! We rarely get snow where I live , but when we do it’s usually very short lived. I loved the walk and watching the boys play!!! What a treat!!!! Thank you so much for vlogmas!!!
They are a funny couple. Charlie cracks me up with his detail oriented style that is like no other man I’ve known. I love how she opens the gift but Charlie tells her what it is before she opens it 😂😂
I've really come to love your intro to these video's, it makes me feel so warm and grateful and want to make the most out of life. Your garden looks so wonderful in the snow as well!
Oh my goodness!!!Seeing the snow on the lawn and the trees,so breathtakingly beautiful.I hope you got a few pics of it all.Were the boys wearing winter booties to protect their little paws...oh well,they are so well behaved,no complaining or fussing,just playing around in the snow!!!So memorable,dear sweet Josie,quite frankly...like a christmas movie!!!Suggestion for a funny christmas movie,National Lampoon with Chevy Chase!!!!
Josie and Charlie I love that you present the beautiful and normal life you are living and is so uplifting that are not all perfect. Thank you very much for share your loved and work with us. I forget your furry ones and friends too. Happy continues blessings.
Seeing the dogs romp in the snow made me so happy. If you want to watch It’s A Wonderful Life, I highly recommend paying attention to the storyline and not wrapping presents or doing anything else at the same time because there are little details that connect later in the story, and if you don’t pay attention, you’ll miss some of the meaning but it’s a fantastic film
Josie, I feel you are so natural in front of the camera.. even the planned photo shoots etc. I’ve really enjoyed vlogmas. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together. Love from snowy Michigan, USA
Charlie is a very special young man to take the time to make the advent calendar so imaginative for you. Your home is lovely and your two darling fluff balls are the icing on the cake. Merry Christmas all🎄🐕🐕❤️🎅🎄

"It's a Wonderful Life" is a must see. Excellent movie that I have loved for years. Please share your thoughts if you do see it. Wishing you a beautiful day! 😘🎄
The snow in this vlog was an absolute treat, would love to watch that view with a hot chocolate milk. Ahh I will be sad when Vlogmas ends, these video provide great comfort
This vlog filled me with such joy and kept smiling , the snow, doggy walk, just magical and so Christmassy. We came to the Cotswolds yesterday , a two hour drive for us , we went to Daylesford and onto Blenheim to see the lights. Such a lovely day and still so much snow around
The two of you make my day! Such a wonderful couple, I adore Charlie's advent calendar riddles and gifts, so thoughtful. My mother used to put riddles on all our gifts under the tree❤ On a separate note, Josie, your legs are stunning, and the hard work with your PT is paying off in spades!
So so beautiful!! England has more snow than New England in the US, that doesn’t happen very often! Also, my husband LOVES A Muppet’s Christmas Carol, you must watch it if you get time, it’s his favorite movie!! Merry Christmas to you and yours ❤🎄✨
Wow such a dream watching this vlog, what a lovely cosy home in the Cotswolds. I remember watching you shortly after you finished at Mulberry many years ago and you were tripping over PR packages in your first London home, wishing you and Charlie a very merry xmas, Gillian X
I have to say you both make a lovely couple, my hubby and myself watched that film and thought it was brilliant and sky glass is such good value for money and the sound quality is amazing
Love Charlie's advent gifts! With regard to movies, the Muppets is gorgeous and fun...It's a wonderful life is a classic and should be watched with concentration and a hot chocolate in hand.
The parts where you were walking around the Cotswolds in the snow reminded me of scenes from the movie, The Lion, Witch & Wardrobe especially the lamp posts covered with snow - it's just so magical 🤩🌟
That Elemis cleansing balm is life saver! I adore it and it was you that influenced me to purchase it, along with other Elemis products that I love. Thank you, dear 💞
Josie I can't believe you haven't watched Muppet Christmas Carol! My husband and I watch it every Christmas Eve, it's brilliant 🐸, hope you chose that one to watch, (haven't got to the end of the video yet) x
🙌 to Charlie for saying Topgun Maverick was one of his favourite films, I loved it. Oh my goodness snow in the cotswolds looks magical. Loving your vlogmas 🎅🎄💖. Xx
The area I work in overlooks the woods, we all stood looking out so memerised, I can't remember the trees looking so magical, it was as though it was narnia coming to life. Your home is picture perfect christmas Josie, so magical 🎄 ❄☃️ xx
