She is a fairy indeed and dreams do materialize. When I was a child I was going through some hard time and as an escape, I used to draw again and again the same picture. It was a small fairytale cottage with red shingles, a green roof, white windows and shutters and a huge stone chimney. It was among the mountains, by a lake, surrounded by a stream with plenty of fish, and with a forest in the background. There were dragonflies, butterflies, bluejays, chipmunks and flowers all over. Decades later, my husband and I were looking for a small cottage, and we searched and searched for about three years but nothing was appealing to me. Unconsciously, I was looking for the magical cottage I used to draw during my childhood. And one day, at the turn of a tiny country road, here it was, the exact same cottage I used to draw, with the red shingles and green roof and white windows and shutters and the stone chimney and the stream with fish, and the forrest and the lake. And it was for sale at a price we could afford. We planted an array of flowers. But, what was even more unbelievable, were the bluejays, the chipmunks, butterflies and dragonflies all over. So, yes, I believe in magic.

[@kianemorais8319]

I have to admit this is kind of embarrassing, but as I listen to you talking about "things not working our way", and "moments that you're not so sure about", I felt this urge to confess something that happened to me when I watched one of your videos. A little over 6 months ago I was at my lowest, feeling unbelievably frustrated with my achieviements in life. It was on a regular day after work - the source of most of my concerns that time, that i started watching one of your videos... I believe it was "the beauty of an ordinary life". I don't quite remember the exact words you said there, but I do remember pausing the video and kneeling at the floor. I cried such painful tears... I let out my frustrations and, maybe, I was forgiving myself for not being all I was hoping to be. It's a difficult memory, and as I go by your feed now, I can see I was only able to watch half of the video - maybe that was the breaking point for me. Now it's a full circle moment. The achievments I, then, could never reach, are even shy when it comes to what I was able to conquer along the months that came after that. Maybe I had to forgive myself, express some kindness and allow myself to find peace that... I was where I had to be. So.. yeah. Needed to share that. What you do is important. I'll always be here :')

I read a few weeks ago ..Rain on your wedding day is good luck because it signifies that your marriage will last. As you know, a knot that becomes wet is extremely hard to untie - therefore, when you “tie the knot” on a rainy day, your marriage is supposedly just as hard to unravel! 🥰

[@tarannumafreen6320]

Wow I didn't know that. Now I hope it rains on my wedding day too ☺️

[@lisamedla]

In my culture, rain on any celebration signifies fertility, blessedness and multiplication (bounty). Thus, on a wedding day rain signifies fruitfulness and divine beauty of the union.

[@thegonzalezs4953]

Good to know, It did rain when I got married , is been 10 years

It rained the whole week and a little the rehearsal night before our wedding. The morning of, the sun came out and shown in the stained glass windows of the pretty Church we had the wedding at.

Single can be a blessing if you'll let it. I used to not want to be alone, but my marriage did not turn out well. Try 17 years of mental abuse. If I could do over again ... I would not marry. And at 65 have no plans to every marry again. Because I find the single life a real blessing. And will never let the words, When in doubt...Don't do it. Go by the way side. Also finding your special person does not mean happiness. Do not rely on another to make you happy, instead find happiness in yourself and things around you. Hope this helps😊💟💟

I closed my eyes when you stepped through the lilac “door” into your secret garden. (BTW, one of my favorite books!) I remember my Mama had lilacs and I would climb in under the bushes and breathe in that luscious scent! How blessed you are to have so many!!! I’ve made violet jam and jelly but never lilac ice cream! How wonderful is that! We also made ice cream, just vanilla, strawberry or peach, homemade when I was little. Each of us would take a turn churning that delicious custard! I love your simple life Paola. Thank you for sharing it with us. I wish only the very best for you and Luke! 🥰🫶🏻🌼🌞🌸

[@sandyg7291]

Dear Paola I’m so thrilled that you’re making lilac icecream. I’ve seen recipes for lilac jelly and I could imagine you making that and loving it as well. Lavender makes a beautiful icecream as well and lavender infused honey is divine. I love that your hummingbird blessed your wedding to Luke with its presence, and you had a rainbow. With all three of our babies, a rainbow 🌈 appeared every time we were bringing them home. Joy and blessings to you and Luke. I’m looking forward to when your book is published. 💗

Life doesn't always go as planned, but the fun in the journey is learning how to adapt and thrive. Everything we go through in life shapes us and makes us who we are. Congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life together!

[@cackleberrycottage2340]

Congratulations on your wedding! My husband and I just celebrated our 45th anniversary in March and I can tell you that you cannot control everything in life and the sooner you learn to roll with the unexpected things, the better off you will be. You have the right attitude and will do well. When we were expecting our first baby way back in the 70's, women didn't get ultrasound exams. I was due at the end of July and in the middle of May, I went into labor and had premature twin girls. Needless to say that was a shock. Instead of one healthy baby, we got two sick babies and were totally unprepared on every level. So we learned very early on to roll with the unexpected because sometimes out of the unexpected comes joy. It made us stronger and taught us how to work together as a team and how to be selfless. Had things gone to our plan, I doubt we would have matured as quickly as we did nor would we have learned to work together as well as we did. Good on you for finding the positives! Hope you have a very happy life together.

[@matrix2297]

Loved reading this! I truly believe we are never given more than we can handle. The human spirit and ability to adapt always amazes me. I'm 23 and it's interesting to me how many people my age yearn for yesteryear. Sometimes I find myself having nostalgia for time periods I didn't live in which is quite bizarre...then read things like not getting ultrasounds and realise I am definitely born in the right time period haha. However I think this era presents a lot of challenges to young people that our elders have no idea how to navigate, so much is brand new. BUT wisdom is eternal. The fundamental transitions and challenges humanity face are actually age old, just recycling in new forms. That's why I find Paola so refreshing, she's not a carbon copy, she's just herself in evolution and growth and willing to share it with the world. From my perception, youth culture has become increasingly obsessed with being a monolith, which is interesting given how individualist and selfish so many aspects of the West are. In your view were there parts of the 70s/80s that you think were positive which have not been held onto to?

[@albertstraumVLOG]

Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story, I feel like its so rare nowadays that two people decide to spend so many years together as a married couple. For me, that sounds like the definition of true love. Staying together and supporting each other even in hard times. Wishing you truly the best for the next years.

[@cackleberrycottage2340]

@@matrix2297 Thank you for your comment. You sound like a very mature, intelligent and perceptive young lady. I too, think young people are facing challenges that my generation never had to deal with and frankly, I am very grateful to have been born when I was. I don't know if I could navigate being a young person today, however, everything is relative and if you don't know anything else, then I guess you can't miss what you never experienced. Some things are better today, but I think many are not and most of it revolves around technology. We have 4 daughters who are 27, 33, 45 and 45 and I see such a difference between the first two and the youngest, despite being raised the same way by the same parents and I can't help but think it is the influence of the times we live in. The 70s and 80s were not perfect, but I feel they were much more innocent times on many levels. Everything was simpler. No Pinterest style parties and showers. No KZbin makeup videos. (something my 20 yo granddaughter watches constantly and she spends a fortune on makeup) And I didn't know anyone who used a planner and planned their life down to the last detail. TV shows were better and more family oriented and you would watch TV together as a family a lot of the time. Where I grew up, there were deep rooted traditions that were observed community wide and a moral code that most every one lived by. People weren't offended by every little thing. There was no doubt about right and wrong and if you choose wrong, there were consequences. There were more 2 parent families back then and you had to earn what you wanted in school and in life. No participation trophies. And schools were much better back then as well. I pulled my youngest two kids out of school in 2000 and homeschooled them because I didn't like what I was seeing in our public school and I feel for my kids that are having to deal with kids in public school today. If given the choice of living today or back then, I would go back in a heartbeat because I think things were just less complicated on many levels.

[@cackleberrycottage2340]

​@@albertstraumVLOG Thank you so much!!!! We are the oddballs, even among our friends. Life hasn't been perfect or easy. We have had many, many ups and downs over the years and at times, it would have been easy to just walk away. But we didn't.

Dear Paola, the amount of work and editing it must take to create these "simple" vignettes must be enormous for you! 💖 I feel so very blessed by them but hope they don't strain your time, creative energy, or frankly caring. I wish you and your husband blessings of peace and joy for many years to come!!! 🙏❤️🌈🪶💞

We had a similar experience with my daughter’s fall wedding-absolutely beautiful weather the day before and after, but the day of the wedding it was chilly and drizzly. But it was still a wonderful ceremony and the autumn colors looked even brighter against the gray sky. You just receive the day you have been given & enjoy it. And your blue ice cream looks lovely in that blue & white china.

When I am about to watch your videos I get comfortable, and cozy, and sip on a cup of camomile tea. It's such a pleasure to watch you in your element as you draw, paint, gather flowers, and even make ice cream in a vintage maker. You have a calmness I've dreamt of. LOL. Blessings to you in your new surroundings as a married woman. Happy for you both. 💖

[@QTrooper]

Oh, the color of the ice cream is just lovely! So happy for you with your enchanted wedding day. I, too, love to watch the floating bits through the dreamy air. Thanks for sharing.

[@flaxholmelis5996]

It rained on my wedding too - and we are still happily married almost 35 years later. Maybe it is good luck xx

[@gemmaavary4996]

Congratulations on almost 35 years of marriage ♡♡♡ GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡ Have The Most Amazing Beautiful Blessed Peaceful night ♡♡♡

[@linnearydqvist5101]

I live in the south of Sweden, and some of the scenery/nature in your videos looks exactly as is does where I live. It’s wonderful how we can live on different sides of the world, and still be united by these beautiful forests 🌲

Hiii❤

I love that the rain paused just for your ceremony! So beautiful that the creatures came out to visit ❤️

Congratulations Paula and I wish you and your husband many, many, many, many, many years of happiness. You've been blessed by the hummingbird and the rainbow and I'm pretty sure there was magic in the air🌈. I'm so happy for you. Much 💖 to both of you.

[@racheljeffers2486]

I loved that you shared a few images and I understand the desire for privacy and intimacy - would love to see more images of the wedding if you choose to share in the future! Congratulations! I was 25 when I married, and it rained on our wedding day. Our 20th anniversary is in October! =) 3 beautiful children later and 20 years of ups and downs - but let's say the rain blessed us! =)

*Sun, rainbow, humming bird..* *Why would they not bless a fairy like you? They came all the way to make your day magical.* 💙🌿🌸

[@Anita95_original]

You are like a meditation on two feet, with a soothing voice, making me ascend into calmness for a while.

[@hilltopvt]

That is a sign - the clouds parting and the sun coming out - the heavens blessed your union 💖 It would've been wonderful whatever had happened, but these events were so sweet.

[@demarcosmith581]

Hope you enjoy your married life forever!

[@yvonnedaleo4486]

Paola, you are such a lovely soul. You remind me a bit of a modern day Beatrix Potter. I just ordered the package you referenced and look forward to seeing it in person. Congratulations again to you and Luke…wishing you much love and joy always.

Hello Hannah how are you doing today

[@francineh.7825]

Your icecream looked wonderful! That is so exciting that you are writing/illustrating your own book!! I can hardly wait to read it. 💖

[@thekindmystic]

I believe the heavens and nature were delighted and happy to join your special wedding day hence the wild life, humming bird and the unexpected yet 'accurate timings' of the rain -not spoiling your plans -but showing their excitement to your beautiful day. You're a true fairy to them all ...🧚‍♀️

[@tracythomas343]

Your videos are so calming. I truly enjoy watching them every week. I found your channel a month or two ago. I’m enjoying it immensely. Thank you. 🥰

Hello Tracy how are you doing

[@glee8133]

Love your art.

[@MM-gr4sn]

So happy for you Paola ❤

[@anamaria2053]

You’ve created a home even sweeter than your last. And, your lavender ice cream looks divine. I used to make lavender raspberry upside down muffins. The bottoms-which were the tops when served-were covered in moist pecans. Yum! Much happiness to you both!

[@austinhowland300gmail.]
