Some Ideas for Simple Living

 

 


 Do you find yourself with some free time and you don't feel like reading ( does that really happen?)  Or even doing handwork?  Would you like some suggestions of blogs (or probably they are better known as VLOGS) that are just simple,lovely and inspiring? If so here are a few that I have discovered recently. Please feel free to add any that you like along the same lines in a comment.


The Cottage Fairy         Paola Merrill is an artist and teacher who lives in Northeaster Washington State.      Her posts are quite short and full of simple wisdom. 

Fairyland Cottage is in some ways similar to The Cottage Fairy except this lovely young woman lives in Ireland. Her name is Niamh which you may or may not know is pronounce Neeve.

It's a Charming Life    A young Swedish/American couple celebrating mindful living.  Fun to watch. I've been watching them talk about how to give your home a more "cottagey" look.  Who knows?  Maybe I'll learn something new.

If you do go to visit any of the above let me know what you think and if you enjoyed it.

Thanks for coming by,

  2. Thanks for the suggestions...I will try to check them out. YOu watch The Last Homely House, don't you? Someone does. I have been watching her for about a year and a half and just love to watch it...Kate does all kinds of things. I can spend way too much time watching youtube.

  6. I don't watch many VLOGS (time is the issue there) but they are really nice and they are some I wished I had more time for. like this one: https://www.youtube.com/mirandamills she reviews a lot of books and lives in the countryside of England. She and her Mom doing a weekly discussion of books they liked plus baking something. Quite delightful. I follow her on Instagram. Wishing you a peaceful evening! :)

  8. Is it possible you could put links for the blogs? I found Paola and am now going to look for the others, but it took some hunting for Paola, because her URL isn't simply CottageFairy or anything simple: https://thekit.ca/life/cottagecore-aesthetic-meet-the-cottage-fairy/ is what I found. Maybe there is a better one.

    Thanks for the tips!

  9. I looked at The Cottage Fairy Instagram. What a beautiful setting. I'm always on the lookout for interesting blogs or in this case vlogs. And I had no idea Niamh is pronounced Neeve!

  15. I have watched them all on YouTube. I find The Fairyland Cottage to be such a calming place to land. I believe she puts out videos on Sunday which makes it an anticipated weekly event around here now. As for It's A Charming Life, I love to see their life in the cottage next to the old cemetery, especially how they decorate for the seasons. The man (don't remember his name) is incredibly talented.
    There is one more channel that I have recently discovered and love. It is a young couple who are both music teachers in Tennessee. They live in a charming house in the country and decorate it so nicely. I don't remember the name of this one right now. Next time I watch them I can tell you the name, if you are interested.

  16. I don't watch many vlogs as I prefer to read. It takes so long to watch them. Perhaps I'll have more time in the future. I have watched pieces of the first two.

  17. Those all look like fun. I have so many spots to read and view these days, I don't have room for more, but I wish I did. Your photo of the spring flowers at the top is lovely.
