My sister in law, Barbara, 58, died 4 years ago, today. I miss her. She and her daughter lived across the street from us. Many years ago, I learned how to sew from the widow who lived in the same house as Barb. The front bedroom, where she passed, was a dedicated quilting room, quilt stretched out, lone small chair, that I saw as a young girl. When I saw the beautiful quilts on the simple beds, I felt peace. Blessings to you, Colette, and thank you for comforting me, in my kitchen in Missouri. Love to the dear community, too.

I’m your age , and here in Michigan, in the time of my great grandparents, all of those homes would have been log cabins. Your Irish cottages are so quaint and rustically beautiful. ❤️

so nice to watch this right before bed time. thanks

That time was so right, when I lived on farm as a little girl. I remember the outhouse, and everything my grandmother told me. The Old Days are the Best.

I was raised in rural New South Wales, Australia. My nan's house was a settlers' cottage with a verandah all around. She was of Irish descent, and her home echoed many of these beautiful, simple ways of living. Thank you for this beautiful montage Colette 💕🏠💕

If I had a banging migraine, those beds and calm looking rooms would be a good therapy.

My grandma was Irish and I I've seen pictures of her family home from when she was little.. I always imagine the interior looked like this. I miss her and her son, my dad. I was weeping because of the memories it has brought back to me. It's a lovely video

Leaving with the seasons, a true normal life.

Brings back memories Colette when we used to visit family in Ireland visiting a great aunt who still put the kettle over the fire to boil

[@katherineb6102]

Beautiful! I would imagine the life lived there was not easy but I'm fairly certain it was more peaceful

[@TheUnnur81]

Oh how lovely 😊 I love places like this because the air is almost thick with history and I could spend hours just breathing in visions of long gone times.

[@kathleenroberts7972]

This was my fav of all the videos you've made and yet I am sure I have said that before! Simplicity is heaven on earth.

[@allsorts4041]

Such a peaceful compilation Colette!

[@maybesusie8599]

I love thinking that my great grandparents might have been born in a beautiful home like that, and I do believe that in the future more than just a few of us will live simply again. Thank you, Colette! ❤

Thanks Colette for some well overdue medicine for homesickness..I remember as a student nurse in Co. Donegal going out doing house calls visiting folks in their wee cottages, I will always remember the smell of the turf in the fire .everytime I open a bottle of single malt I take a deep sniff and I am transported back to the turf burning stoves in those cottages ❤❤

I live in a very old house and have a 27 page copy of memoirs of a lady that lived here in victorian times

[@undercoverbird8592]

I absolutely love this video. It’s so comforting. Thanks Collette. ❤❤❤
