AUTUMN HOMEWARE SHOPPING & NEW BAG UNBOXING // Fashion Mumblr Vlogs

[@maariyah5808]

Sorry Charlie, Josie’s right- the mirrors too high LOL 😂

[@merrywalsh2809]

It is a law of the universe: men, left to their own devices, will always hang things too high. Once, when I was a nurse, I decided to pop into a new ward being outfitted, just to check out what might be getting affixed too high, and discovered sharps containers (for used needles) so high that I could not see the tops where the needles go in. That would be dangerous, so I reported it. All 20 of them got moved down, so the shortest nurses could see the top.

[@kingcrimson1204]

Yeah what about kids 😅

[@lazumah]

When she said, "yeah, my forehead looks great," I died!!! Hilarious comeback. 😂

[@debbievidal9536]

Too high and too small. It should be much longer

[@JulentesDing]

@@lazumah exactly - perfect timing- very dirt humor - but i think, he didn t got it - i love it 🤩🤩🤩

[@Bladebreak3r]

It's so incredibly generous and trusting of you to share the barcode with all your viewers!

[@helenalexander2567]

Oh Josie how kind of you to buy some of your viewers a coffee. I hope no one abuses your kindness. It’s a great gift to spread kindness and love 💕. The cottage is looking so beautiful. Take care xx

[@leahelwood2856]

That’s incredibly kind and thoughtful of you to treat your viewers to a coffee Josie. Unfortunately I’m too unwell atm to get out to a Starbucks but just knowing you’ve done such a lovely gesture for everyone really puts a smile on my face😊👍

[@rhondadarnall1805]

Josie, the easiest way to clean wax out of any container is to place it in the freezer. Once its frozen the wax will pop right out with a simple nudge. No mess, no fuss.

[@deannatroy8113]

Wow! That's fantastic!!

[@avaomalley7559]

Thank you, great advice!

[@tanyazurek7148]

Also its not a great idea to pour the hot water/wax down the drain it is best to pour it on top of trash to get rid of it because the wax will harden inside and can ruin your pipes! Something Is very hard to fix that was learned the hard way

[@tlakinkadimeng3218]

Wow, thank you for this comment🥰

[@michellewillems9880]

I was just about to suggest that 👍 I was amazed how easy freezing the wax is, compared to what I tried re cleaning them, in the past!

[@5996dawn]

I agree .. the mirror is too high.. love love love the look of the cottage.

[@elenachong729]

I agree too.

[@paulettedelphine]

💐🦋🌿 A longer mirror would be lovely!

[@dawnpotts5941]

Agree!! I’m very vertically challenged 😂 I would need a stool!

[@esmerose7691]

I also thought the mirror was high up before Josie even mentioned it 😂. Must be a thing that short people think of. I’m always on my tiptoes when looking in mirrors while I’m away 😂

[@blakeyrebeccaross]

Yes and I plan to go stay at stawtop with my 11 and 14 year old kids, will be too high for families with children as well. I think maybe a long, skinny mirror might be best, that would fit btwn the two lights and still work for tall and short ppl. : )

[@esmerose7691]

@@blakeyrebeccaross ooo yes a longer mirror is a good idea! I’m sure they’ll have other mirrors but, obviously it’s nice to have one accessible in the bathroom

[@triciamonahan]

You have such an amazing generous spirit Josie. Always so thoughtful of others. Wishing you a fantastic Autumn 🍂 🍃 🍁

[@lauriecarpenter2902]

Well, I for one, would like to compliment your upholsterer, Caroline. She is so talented. Her work looks absolutely impeccable.

[@kimberleywhite88]

A big piece of advice from learning the hard way… don’t tip your wax water down the sink it re hardens in your plug and blocks the drain..

[@elisasilva5621]

There is nothing better than the sound of chuch bells

[@pamdawson8598]

The cottage is beautiful. Love the church bells, they are calling you to church and worship.

[@andreaspeth9478]

The mirror is too high. If you want to avoid more holes in the tile, look for something same width but longer. Always things like this in reno but agree....two sets of eyes in hanging things, especially on tile, is key!

[@deborahwilliams7072]

Have you ever considered attending the church on Sunday morning? It would be a short walk to get there. The bells are lovely.

[@eloisemuller5105]

Renting gorgeous dresses that would otherwise be beyond one’s means is a splendid idea.

[@mfes14]

I love how sensible you are with your clothing … some influencer keep buying everything new… love how you are doing your wardrobe

[@daintychick461]

Omg! Thank you Josie for my tall pumpkin spice latte and my banana nut loaf! What a nice gesture! ❤

[@JosieIrons]

Yay enjoy!!!!

[@nakeshiarowell9889]

Hey Josie love the Strawtop house however the mirror in the bathroom is absolutely too high. Hopefully it can be moved further down in the future!

[@shopbellascloset3399]

For the love!!! I cannot handle when people say such nasty things on your channel or try to give you advice on what they think you should be doing or saying. They can feel free to not watch You are much stronger then me. Just know you are beautiful and so many of us love you, Charlie and your pups.

[@tamaracarter1836]

I agree.

[@sashademidova4209]

You guys put so much into Strawtop i hope people will appreciate it and not abuse it. I love how respectful you and Charlie are towards each other even if you do not agree with the decisions or opinions the other has, it says a lot about someone and is one of the most important traits in a relationship.

[@helensmith3214]

You have done an excellent job on the cottage. The material used for the blind is gorgeous! It is about attention to detail that make all the difference and you have certainly done that. We are going to have fried eggs on toast for tea after seeing Charlie serve up a scrummy dish. Loved the previous vlog and was a little late commenting but have to say it was very enjoyable. Thank you Josie you always bring us great vlogs. 🦋

[@kellyboudreau]

The church bells are beautiful. The sound with the view of your yard and house is the stuff of dreams!! You’re so lucky. 💕

[@lanaehokanson3279]

I love the church bells, they are so charming. You are always so sweet and charming yourself! I have to be honest, I just really don't care for all the writing on the nice bags. It reminds me of advertising and seems out of place for a very expensive bag. But you do have excellent taste in all that you do. I love your garden and the up dates there, thank you!

[@eshaibraheem4218]

I agree with you.

[@janestephanierudolf2206]

I just love the sound of the church bells. How lucky you are to live in such a wonderful place. Many greetings from Denmark.🇩🇰🌹

[@juliawheeler5644]

Charlie is very bossy 😂 you seem the very calm one … love your chilled voice and sense of humour … 💞 the mirror is to high …. It definitely needs to be lower 👌

[@chicloveliness295]

i definitely think doing pop-up vouchers like the starbucks one would make our day! What a kind gesture, Josie! Bow we can all feel that you’ve treated us to a coffee! Fabulous idea!! xx Perhaps other stores such as costa, pandora, ted baker, reiss, m&s (everyone’s fave store for all things good quality), etc

[@simplychic2194]

YES DO M&S

[@Marwa-pv6lg]

I love your autumn vlogs because where i live it's still hot, winter comes very late, so I feel like i'm experiencing autumn, it reminds me of my home country 💗

[@debbiegreig7079]

The church BELLS!!!! Love hearing them so much. So renting out your clothes....they are so beautiful and precious...are you not worried about people staining or wrecking them? And yes..the mirror is too high Charlie! Lol! 🇨🇦❤

[@ebonybloom7689]

Charlie is a man of many talents. My husband is great with exteriors and hard interiors but has no knack for soft furnishings.

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Josie, another excellent video. Just a suggestion, you may want to reconsider in the cottage not placing the new mirror right directly facing the bed. It’s negative energy (feng Shui) . I never believed it for myself until I did take mine down and I’ve had restful sleep since without realizing what had changed. I hope all guests respect the energy and time you and Charlie have spent preparing this place! Wow ! ❤️🇨🇦

[@jag5798]

Here is wishing the church 🔔 never go away. Love ❤️ the cottage and culture.

[@DB-hz6vr]

I’m not sure which video it was that you mentioned your halo pads and that they were getting stained but I meant to add a comment about keeping them white. I bought some on your recommendation and have used the same one since Christmas last year. It’s is still lovely and white. I rub it with a bar of hand soap and rinse it after each use and it just takes a minute and the makeup all comes off. It’s dry and ready for the next night. I think that is what they recommend doing and I guess the makeup never dries on it. X

[@edelconroy6047]

I love your dining room, the big fireplace is stunning. I love the window as well

[@8thjane596]

So kind and generous of you to buy your followers a coffee. I’m delighted with my salted caramel cold brew. Sending love from NYC!

[@cherylwatson8926]

Your videos of the house and the new cottage are lovely and fill me with joy you have such a lovely tone to your voice , I look forward to next one. Best wishes to you and Charlie.

[@carolannaitken5812]

finishing touches at the cottage are beautiful

[@BrittanyAJordan]

Hey Josie, for the candle holder place it in the freezer overnight, and the the wax will pop right out. I do this all the time and it comes out clean, I then wash it and it’s good to go 😊

[@EndorphinsGalore]

Love the sounds of the church bells!!

[@la_sarito]

Everything beautiful! The mirror is too high... Charlie is lucky to have you... You are lucky to have each other...

[@parisianchic2917]

So cute how such a dainty girl requires such a big bag 💜 Another advantage is Dexter or Dickens can be tucked in!

[@glcoola2349]

Straw top cottage looks beautiful! I love the bathroom! The mirror though is hanging way too far up and I was wondering why you didn't get a slightly larger mirror which would open up the space more and which would make sense in relation to the mirror lights!

[@jcnorton55]

I like big bags. I cannot lie. The outside pocket is handy for receipts, shopping lists, tickets, business cards, etc. Very useful!

[@newmercies1]

Love your energy, so soothing, and charming. Whatever you say I don't care! :) May you be blessed!

[@lyndavey4392]

Listing to the church bells takes me to my childhood simply beautiful!! Straw top cottage is really beautiful...Also to say thank you for all your hard work making your channel so lovely....Looking forward to seeing your beautiful home at Christmas!!.... This channel is my happy place xxxx

[@ms.red.1436]

now that you have a good size garden, you can grow a lot of beautiful plants, especially a ton of peonies this autumn :)

[@carethmatzenbacher6849]

So kind of you Josie! You have such a generous heart!

[@mlayne130]

I think it would be so fun to see you take 1-2 items from each category of clothing- your fall/winter wardrobe essentials- and create multiple outfits using the same pieces! I think that so often, we get caught up in this mindset of buy buy buy, that we forget how many amazing pieces we actually own! I mean look at your closet, it’s absolutely stunning but you have so many clothes that you aren’t getting enough wear time out of every piece, which is why it’s so cool that you’re renting them out! But the challenging part a lot of the times is taking our essentials and finding different ways to wear them so it doesn’t look like we’re repeating the same outfit. So I think it would be different for you to film that style of video, but I think people would love it!! Because most of us aren’t in this industry so we can’t just do multiple huge fashion hauls every week and month. So taking 2 vests, 2 coats, a couple pants, a few dresses, a couple handbags and winter accessories and creating a bunch of different outfits would be so inspiring on how we can utilize our own wardrobes! Maybe throw in some capes, belts, sweaters, etc. I see a lot of fashion channels already doing “Creating 100 outfits using 20 pieces” type videos, but goodness me.. let’s just say their personal style is NOT up my alley 😂 I’d never wear most of what they own but since your style is so similar to my own, I think I’d benefit a great deal more if you did something like that. Just something fun and different! Just an idea though. Xoxo❤️

[@carolynmarshall1968]

The window dressings in Straw Cottage look soo pretty. What a fab idea putting all the napkins in the zip up bag, I shall take that tip, thank you! 🌱

[@vrd555]

Satya.. "positive vibes" incense is amazing and lasts for ages!!.. ☺️☺️

[@gloriannemamo8155]

Strawtop Cottage is looking gorgeous. Huge well done ❤️

[@4furbuddiesntea51]

Please research prior to exposing your lovely fur boys to any incense, the smoke off of the the burning incense contains several chemicals. A highly ventilated area is best if they're around. Blessings Josie 😊🌻💗👋

[@debbiebrown3053]

Such a wonderful everyday vlog! Loved every minute!💖. And sorry Charlie, Josie is right, that mirror is way to high and I think a little too tiny.😉. A longer mirror would be perfect 👍. Just my opinion and you guys always do a great job anyway🤩.

[@lilibethbeltran3045]

I enjoy watching your husband , he loves arranging furniture and garden so cute

[@carolem6354]

Hi Josie, the cottage has come along beautifully. All the touches of trims, and comforting fabrics makes it feel so homey and welcoming. I have to say that you are Charlie are definitely soul mates. Even if you both have a slight disagreement, there seems to always be a respect and politeness between you both. Many other couple vlogs seem to demean each other, or roll eyes, and insulting or name calling. Even if supposed to be in fun is not amusing or respectful. You both are my favorite couple in vlogs.

[@heathervalentine8222]

Josie, creating a code to give your viewers a coffee is such a sweet and lovely thing to do. Wow!! I'm speechless. I live in Australia so there is no way I can redeem it, but the thought was lovely. Hope you are blessed for the generous offer you gave to us.

[@kitthekat1612]

That little Starbucks is actually so sweet, love love love-thank you!💛🍁🍂

[@sierrasemko9870]

I actually love the lighter lipstick on you! It was the first thing I noticed when you started the clip.

[@alexiswisniowski2527]

Agreed! :)

[@PicassoKilling]

Yes exactly, it looks really pretty!

[@donnahiggins3500]

On second thought, just buy a taller mirror and you can use the same hooks for hanging.🥰

[@ttvclaper4redmaster137]

Josie, I have never posted but your Starbucks voucher for your viewers was so nice! I am from the US and live in the UK for a little while. I have visited the Cotswalds and it was incredible. I can see why you love it so much! Enjoy the autumnal season :) x

[@beckybryant9891]

They make cord covers that extend down walls from the lights (around 16:40) and make cords tidier. I love seeing your home items most of all on your channel. On candle wax in containers where the mouth of the container is larger than the bottom- put the candle in the freezer and after frozen it pops right out- sometimes it needs a little help with a knife-edge. Then you just have a tiny ring of wax to get out.

[@MsMarie0072]

Josie, it’s been years since I’ve been an avid watcher of your contents and you’re still my number one influencer… you’ve changed my wardrobe and my life… since autumn is upon us please show us a hot chocolate recipe… thank for sharing

[@contessalives605]

That bathroom is wonderful! I love the hardware and tiles. But yes you are right about the mirror being too high.

[@patriciaf4783]

What a nice bag ❣️ and what a lovely cottage 😍 ✨ We feel good throughout this video 💖 thank you so much 🙏 💐 and the two little boys are so handsome 🥰

[@joannetwaddle4662]

Your such a genuine kind soul josie.

[@lola7888]

Hi Josie, I clean old wax by melting it again, I put the candle jar inside a pan with a bit of water and let it simmer for a while until the wax melts again and then you can empty the melted wax on a paper towel and put it in a bin as if you pour it down the drain you can block it and it’s very difficult to unblock. Love your blog and your house btw xx

[@lyncamero4049]

Hi, Josie, just a tip. For the candles, do never throw the candle wax water in to the drain, it can get blocked, as when the wax dries out it in the pipes when blocked. My best tip to clean wax candle holder, candelabras etc is soak them in white vinegar, vinegar will help to pop the wax easily and clean the rest with a paper towel. Never use hot water as the wax it will go everywhere and quite annoying. My tip and experience, though. Love your videos and you are so kind.

[@simonatrlep7658]

And when will the church ring for you two? Love the bag!

[@josieleugner546]

It's so cosy, what a lovely place to stay. You can get gallery glass for the picture frames, I bought them and it makes such a difference without the reflection. I'm tempted to come and stay as my dad lives in Northampton.

[@82court]

Love the bathroom especially the tiles. Mirror definitely to high. And a low stool great idea to keep things off the floor ☺️

[@corinnerees1135]

Hello, put your used candle jars / pots (cold) into the freezer for around 20 minutes. Upturn the jar / pot, and when it starts to defrost at room temperature, the wax will come out a lot easier. You will need an item - maybe a spoon handle, for assistance, but this will be easier than hot water method. Take care ❤️

[@paulinejohnson4562]

Wow, wonderful work by Caroline, we need a Caroline in every neighbourhood 😊

I agree that the mirror is to high! I am a woman and I thought that before it was said, also thought that you guys needed a larger or wider mirror to accommodate different sizes. Beautiful bathroom 😍

[@JEHOVAH485]

Hi Charlie and Josie. A beautiful piece of wood would go nicely over that box in the corner next to the bed. You could then put a plant in the corner, stack a few reading books and add a difuser.

[@JodiW]

Josie, thank you for the latte with oat milk! What a lovely gesture, It totally made my day! I am going to pay it forward by doing the same thing on my channel!

[@CountryloverCountrylover]

For those of us with agas getting rid of the wax is no problem. Just put the candle container on the warming plate or simmering oven. The wax will melt in the heat then pour that into a disposable container and give the original pot a good wash

[@theresaschuebel5151]

Try placing the jar in the freezer for a few hours/overnight, the wax will snap off easier when encouraged with a butter knife!
