Quiet Days of July // gardening, thrifting, and a boho bedroom refresh (story 80)

Come thrifting with me at some of my favorite consignment and thrift stores in the Hudson Valley! I found the perfect boho quilt for a little bedroom makeover here at the cottage.
And while my fun little thrift haul makes me SO happy, the amazing colors in my garden are just my greatest delight these days. The bee balm is absolutely bursting out of the garden and I've been using it to make some delicious infused water.
It's also my anniversary! I've been posting videos here on KZbin for 2 years! It's so hard to believe that much time has gone by. I've found such a lovely, lovely community of women all over the world here who love all things boho, thrifting, and gratitude : ) It makes my heart SO happy.
Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for being here! I appreciate you so much. I'd love to hear how things are going in your neck of the woods... drop a comment below and let me know what you're up to this weekend! I'm sending you all the biggest hugs XOXO

❤ when you're sitting on the bench talking about the lady who said you needed to lose weight, my heart went out to you because it is not true. You are beautiful and there are many men who would find You Beautiful Just the Way You Are.

I would have said to that unkind woman "if I can't find a man to love me for ME and not my looks, I'd rather stay single" then get up and walk away! I love your videos you are such and inspiration, please remember you are a beautiful human being no matter your size, it is your heart and soul that matter! Love little Charlie too!

[@littlebohocottage]

Thank you, my friend : ) I appreciate your encouragement!!! Have a wonderful weekend!♥♥♥♥

[@loripowell7654]

Maybe you don’t have to change to find a man…. Maybe the men you meet need to change….and not their weight? Did you ever think that you don’t “NEED” just any man but would enjoy a man with same interests & qualities as you? It just might surprise you to met that special person while doing something you enjoy. Eating or having coffee at your favorite place? At the dog park when you both are enjoying watching your dogs playing? At the antique store while you are browsing? Etc….just go out there & enjoy life & it will happen. Don’t be afraid to speak to people or break the ice by asking a question. Your puppy could be your biggest guy magnet! You are very a very special lady…… so be choosy…..you are worth it!

@@littlebohocottage I was hoping you would just pin it to the length you wanted instead of cutting it. Does that mean it's too short for your bed now?

Hi Katie, I am a Brit girl who has been watching your channel for a very long time. I will always be so grateful to have found you as you are an oasis of calm in a rapidly maddening world and I so enjoy just being able to shut it out and watch you make a beautiful home and garden. You are a true inspiration and a kind soul. Blessings to you and your sweet baby boy, Charlie. Debs X

[@gailknowles3804]

Your garden is lovely. I am a 65 year old woman and I get so much inspiration from your channel. You are such a sweet person. I love the way you dress and the way you decorate your cottage. I just moved last month to a retirement village here in Florida. I will get to create a garden in the spring and I will take my inspiration from you. Thank you for showing your beautiful style to us. I must say too that any man would be extremely lucky to know you. All the best to you and God Bless.

I LOVE your cottage it is soooo cozy and warm. One thing I have learned from you seeing all the beautiful colors on your decor is that I need to decor with the things I love not because they match, I used to be like everything needs to match perfectly, not anymore I decor with the things I love!! ❤️ you are such an inspiration and I adore your positive and encouraging videos. Forget about the old lady, she was probably miserable, we speak by what is in our hearts.

I was so happy when I read the title because I felt so celebrated. I am so thankful for your videos and how much they inspire me. They have been helping me with my anxiety. I also feel that your videos are the best way to relax and reflect. I have been watching some videos again and again because I feel the more I hear the more it helps and calms me down. Thank you so much for all the effort you take for filming and editing the videos. I am totally grateful from the bottom of my heart

My sister and I were going through a hard time together just a month ago. We both love to paint with water colors, so we decided to take our paints and head for a peaceful place as an escape from it all. We ended up at Mills Mansion just a bench or two away from where you sat! I will treasure the memory! BTW, watch out for little old busybody ladies who have no filter! You are gorgeous!

[@DoloresGockel]

I am so grateful to have found ur videos recently. Ive been binging on them. U have such a beautiful soul and are so creative. Ur photography is amazing and is a feast for my eyes. The fact that u were able to share the memory of the lady who had such negative advice shows growth. U are absolutely beautiful inside and out. At almost 88 yrs old, Ive learned that I dont care what others think of me, as long as I know who I am and God loves me? .❤ Other than hot beverages, I drink everything else at room temperature. Never use ice. U are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place and experience the magic of nature. I lived yards away from the Delaware River in Chester, Pa. and never realized that it ran as far as Hudson Valley. Ĥudson Valley looks like Paradise to me and a wonderful place to call home for now. Each video I watch, I feel like Im visiting a friend and Im left with such a sense of peace and serenity and beauty. I love ur Charlie! I rescued a 4 yr old chihuahua mix, who was unsocialized and very neglected as she lived in the backyard since a puppy with a 150# Russian Lion dog. Need I say more? Her name is Lola, she's been with me for 4-1/2 years now, and she's still a work in progress. She makes my heart smile, tho.😍 I, too, love thrifting, boho and vintage, dresses, hats, and makeup.💕 Ur dresses are so romantic and feminine and fit in perfectly with ur landscape photos. Hold onto all your videos forever. They are definitely keepsake memories and such treasures. Oh, how I would love to live in ur Boho cottage❤ ciao for now.

[@pumpjackpiddlewick]

Wow, I can't believe it has been 2 years! Time passes so very quickly, and as at the beginning, I am enjoying your videos just as much now. Thank you.

Happy Anniversary!!! I have been here since the beginning and I love coming here each week to see what is new in your world. We are also in a heat wave in Oregon, too, too hot for me, so I am jealous of your beautiful rain showers! It is fire season here, and there are many in our state right now. Thank you for sharing your world with us! To the woman who sat on the bench with the younger Katie, shame on you!!! What other words could you have chosen, to show love and kindness? I hope you do not take those words to your heart dear, she was WRONG to say them! Wishing you cool breezes, and beautiful days!

[@jillychandler]

Thank you darling girl. I am a 67 year old woman, and I watch every video now, I think I started watching when you moved into your lovely home you are in now. Charlie fills my heart with joy when I see him too. You are a beautiful young lady, both inside and out, and I thank you for your lovely videos, and your beautiful soft kind voice, and I love the clothes you wear, they are my cup of tea, as we say in England when we like something! Blessings and much love, from Jilly & Madge the black rescue greyhound, from a sunny West Devon, England. xxx

Hello again lovely BoHo Gal......Another great video. Loved shopping with you at those amazing thrift stores. The quilt looks great behind your bed. I just love changing things in my little house....every season is a new look. Pillows, quilts, throws, etc. Oh .....that old woman was absolutely rude in her opinion with her unsolicited and negative statements! You are perfect just the way you are! Beautiful and sweet and natural. Don't you dare change! Your little boho cottage and lovely gardens are so peaceful and cozy. Enjoy the peace and serenity they bring you.

✨🎉Congratulations on 2 years! I do love your videos and enjoy them so much. I find you very inspiring ❤️… I also agree that your beautiful soul shines thru and I hope one day you find your soulmate, but you are living a lovely life now & that is sooo important. I got married at 45 for the first time & he is my best friend. I have another friend who found her soulmate at 64. I so agree - better to wait and find a truly good match. But I remember fearing I would never find one… I remember having to shift my thought to my life now & enjoy the flowers along the way. Some days were easier than others. Even so - I would still rather be alone than in a bad relationship. There is much joy to be found in life with fuzzy loves & good friends & books & your music. ❤️🌷🎉✨ Wishing you the best! Lynne

Happy Anniversary Kate! I am sorry you had that experience on the bench. First, there was/is no truth in her statements. I have noticed how strong and fit you are while working, walking, and playing with Charlie and also how feminine and graceful in your dresses. Secondly, I am proud of you for continuing on your quest to eat healthy, stay active, and practice self care in so many ways. Ways that you pass on to us. Keep um coming! 😊

[@jannybranciforte9295]

Thank you for this wonderful video, so full of color,of some marvelous and precious humor (loved that very quick scene of the adorable silliness occurring in the first thrift store that you visited) - I love that! And your gorgeous ruby pink and lavender garden and all the bouquets in your happy home, and the nervy older lady on the bench who was obviously to me, “ Miss Inappropriate” to most everyone. You have bouquets everywhere, and the new fabric bouquet was so charming too! Might I just add that when people are hurtful, they are hurting themselves and need to feel better by finding a target. I’m not excusing that little lady’s words, but it has helped me to shed my own little moments when I’ve been in similar situations. Knowing that their comments have nothing to do with me has truly helped me to wonder, to be curious about what their suffering is, thus taking it off of me, and letting it go quickly. Enjoy your gorgeous garden, Kate - your videos always bring such sweetness to my Sundays! Thank you! 💜🙏🪻🌷🌺🌻🕊

[@earthangel8730]

Hi Kate & Charlie. I love going back and seeing your past videos. I didn't think Charlie could be cuter. until going back and seeing him as a puppy. I have been concerned about yall. I had heard on tv that New York had had some tornadies and really unusual westher. thankful yall are safe. It is so beautiful and lush there. Here in Texas, it's just hot, hot, hot! The rain is such a blessing when we can get it. I love the new quilt you bought and seeing you and Charlie cuddle on it! This was a great video. You have such a sweet smile, Kate, and I love to hear you laugh. Oh, Charlie's protective bark at the groundhog running through his garden was adorable. I hope yall continue to have a great summer. Oh, by the way, I like my wate,r ice cold! Take care, sweet friend, and please give Charlie some loving from me!

[@musicalemily5464]

Comfort. Calm. Nostalgia. Those are the words that describe your channel. In this video, especially, do those words fit. What a swirl of homesickness I felt, as I watched your lovely video. I miss the East Coast. I miss the quaint, delicate, beautiful nature the East gives. My heart belongs there. Watching you walk the sweet streets and shopping in the beautiful little stores, I got to missing home. Thank you for sharing the special vibe that the East Coast emits. I felt a little closer to home. Thank you for that. Now, here is something for you. You are always sharing your heart with the world, now, it is time for us to give back to you. The way to do that, is to write encouraging things, to show you how much we care. I read some of your comments, and, it seems everyone is loving you and your channel as I am. There are some of us who have watched every one of your videos starting from your first one, and, in doing that we have all seen you evolve. You have grown strong, more sure, more confident, and from that, you are a more wonderful version from two years ago. Your story about the woman on the bench was incredible. The way you told it, you had courage with a little humor stuck in. I bet, you could not have told that story with such dignity and a smile, years ago. But now, you can. That is growth. You should feel proud of that. I know that woman hurt you, and, that is sad, as, it is not true. Nobody has to look a certain way to get their soulmate. They just have to be who they are meant to be, and that will be enough. A kindred spirit will be found. Kindness, compassion, interests, those are what bind us together. If we relied solely on looks, wow would I be in trouble. I am as tall as a ten year old and as knobby kneed as any elementery school girl. I have giant glasses and dress in comfy, out of date clothes, but, here I am, married for thirty one years and with four children. My beautiful husband chose me, 4 foot ten, gawky, half blind, but, with a giant heart, kindness that won’t beat, a love of life, nature, learning. That is what matters. So, you go be you, and love will find you, I have no doubt.

[@heatherkane5913]

No! I can't believe she said that to you! I love your videos and your outlook on life - brings me so much joy. I've been thinking about Blueland - I'll go check it out. I LOVE that bee balm! Have a great week and congratulations on such a huge accomplishment.

[@lbailey5430]

Kate congratulations on your 2nd anniversary! 👏🙌 I have been watching since day 1 and have enjoyed each and every video. You are meant to be doing this as your inspiration and talent with the camera is just awesome. It’s too bad such a lovely place to sit and relax ended up bringing back a “not so great” memory. This little old lady obviously was speaking of her days growing up and the way things should be, not realizing we do not have to cater to those beliefs anymore, thank goodness!! We all know already how beautiful you are inside and out so nobody is perfect right? Anyway thank you again for sharing your vulnerability and as always I look forward to your next video….Lisa 🤗🙏💓

Hello from the UK Kate. I recently lost my husband after 54 years of marriage (we were babies when we wed in 1970). I just wanted to say that since my teens I have always been on the bigger side and Terry loved and cherished me unconditionally. If you have to change or lose weight to be with someone, that someone is not for you. I've been with you since the beginning Kate and now even more I am taking comfort and inspiration from the way you live your life on your own. Being creative, and loving nature, your garden and your little fur baby 🐶 is inspirational. I have no children but I do , have my two kits 🐈🐱 Tally and Luna that give me a reason to get up in the mornings. I also have the garden that we created together. Take care and carrying on being just you. Sending love, light and Summer blessings 🐞🌹🐝🌻 🐾 xx

You sound like a lovely lady, Terry was a very lucky man xx

[@veronicashipley9123]

@@Wendy_Hannah Thank you for your mind words Wendy. We were lucky to have found each other. He was my love, my life and my soul mate and I miss him every day. Sending love & light xx

I enjoyed this video. That woman on the bench was rude. Hurting people hurt people. Other people’s projections and opinions aren’t yours to carry. You are beautiful just the way you are. Your garden is so pretty! Give Charlie a snuggle for me.❤

[@julieorenbach3157]

Happy 2 year Kate ❤you are so amazing and beautiful ❤ I look to your videos every day watching you and your videos just hearing your voice is my therapy I love you so much and I can't forget little Charlie he is absolutely precious ❤️ ❤❤️ be well my beautiful friend ❤️

Hello Sweetie, I've been with you since the beginning & after a little bit I was so happy to subscribe. I loved your making a home in your prior cabin and loving your new fur baby ❤. As a woman in my 70s now alone in my tiny cottage with my fur baby I felt for you going through health challenges but you persevered, took care of yourself & continued to give and love others. You've bought joy, beauty & encouragement to me through my physical challenges. I know you're an inspiration to many. I'm here in the smoky mountains & love watching you there in the Hudson valley and how you make the best of things. Where others make lemonade out of lemons you make lemon merengue pie. I'm sorry a woman said such things to you though she had good intentions did not realize the harm of her words from the world she came from. She doesn't know what she doesn't know. There's a wonderful journey ahead for you. My faith has sustained me by grace I believe. I wish I had confidence in myself you have when I was young & not settling for the relationships I did. Marriage is supposed to be for the rest of our lives not just finding a husband. Take care of yourself and keep looking up. ❤

Mother nature just does what is needed. When we need water, it rains 🎉 etc. she is nice most of the time. And sometimes not. 😅❤

[@donnawoods4982]

You are such a blessing. Please keep posting your videos as often as possible. I still can't believe that very rude woman's comments about getting a husband & losing weight. The nerve of some people!

[@lisasafiullah8774]

I am really enjoying watching your content as I'm in the UK. Nice to see where you live and visit. Thank you! Amazing how people feel free to make personal or unkind comments xxx but your spreading the joy so that's a good balance😊

[@sallyvassallo2247]

Katie, for all you know that old woman had her own woes, like growing old. She saw you as young, pretty and content and probably felt very jealous of your youth. You are a wonderful, pretty and kind human being, so don't you ever think negative about yourself okay. I grew to love myself and so should you. By the way, I prefer my water just how it is and not cold. Be proud, you should be!! ❤❤❤❤

[@kimowens16]

I love that green barn that you passed! Thank you for the two years of beauty, peace, and inspiration. I've been really trying to work on my self-esteem with excess weight. Just last week I wrote down everything that has affected or is affected by my weight. I plan on releasing it/burning it on the full moon. I noticed 2/3 of the issues were comments by people. When I had it compiled, it made me feel like the issue was with them, more than me. It just read mean and judgemental. My current husband loves me as is and only says loving things to me, shoot - he brings me warm homemade chocolate chip cookies and a big glass of milk. It's just getting the right fit with a partner. I'm blessed and I'm so glad I didn't partner with someone who made me feel bad about myself. Lots of different types of beauty, and you are definitely beautiful! On a different note, I wouldn't have thought to take the flower of the bee balm and put it in water (ice cold water preferably). I also had no clue how tall it grows. Thank you!

[@pamelahoke9075]

I love all of your videos and I think you’re one of the most sweetest loveliest person I have heard and I think you’re perfect. Just the way you are.

[@Anne.R..]

We must be as we are and not as we should have been. Agree? 🥰 You are beautiful and smart and make great videos😊🍃Have a great weekend!

[@tdhawk167]

I tend to drink room temp water, but summer afternoons I love to make sun tea or homemade organic lemonade with a touch of local honey and some lemon balm and mint leaves from my garden... chilled in the fridge. So refreshing and Yum!

[@deborahdenton3603]

❤ I watch your videos over and over. Your purposeful gratitude is amazing! Your peaceful living brings me joy. I never where dresses, but I bought 2 boho dresses from temu...and I go barefooted in my little polager garden's. ❤ Thank you for sharing your love of your moments ..your laughter...your Joy.

[@littlebohocottage]

Awww yay!!! Barefoot in the garden in a dress is just the happiest thing ever : ) I'm so glad you're enjoying your summer!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for being here, my friend!♥♥♥♥

[@tiggywinkle5933]

Good grief, what an awful, rude woman! You are very beautiful and very lovely inside and out. I think I started watching back when you didn't speak on your videos, I look forward to watching your content regularly because it reminds me to stop, look, breathe and have gratitude. I also love your style and thrifted finds, I'm always ridiculously happy when I find that item I just can't leave behind in a charity shop. Ax

[@carolinedenaro866]

It was wonderful meeting you, sending blessings & love, Caroline

[@MoandDaisy1965]

I am like you about the water and also your lifestyle. I started watching you last fall. So I am kinda new. I look forward to your videos and enjoy them so much. Thank you for sharing your life. AND that old woman lol...old people, you never know what they are going to say. God bless you.

[@LucyShepherd-jx1hd]

Thankyou for this post, I've had a very dear friend staying with me for two days and being alone tonight, I was really hoping for some positive happy content to watch; was so glad to see that you had recently posted. I LOVE your channel, not just your style, but the calm and honest way you speak and share your stories. Your smile is pure magic and you have those smiling eyes that are so uplifting to others! It's so refreshing to hear someone acknowledging their challenges but always finding something to be positive about and never actually complaining or obsessing about problems. As for gorgeous little Charlie, I absolutely adore him! I have a chihuahuaXcavalier called Rosey and they have very similar temperaments. Congratulations on your flowers, they are magnificent! Thankyou again for your inspirational and calming videos, take care xx

[@fleurelan8647]

You are so very beautiful and I’m so glad for you and proud of you that now you know that too. ❤️ Also, I love Blueland…so glad they have sponsored your video and hope they will again.

[@jaynewarriner7214]

The cut off part of that quilt would make very nice looking pillows😊

[@marijkerolink7319]

Congratulations, I found you a few weeks ago. Love your voice and storytelling It’s for me a relaxing time to listen and watch thank you very much. Have a nice day🌺

[@basilbaby7678]

As a fellow thrift junkie… I find that adding a quarter cup of white vinegar to a full load of laundry, hastens the commercial detergent, and stale storage smell to dissipate. Just make sure you’re able to rinse really well.

[@MissFancyClancy]

I always look forward to your videos! Have to say your finds were right up my alley. I'm a 70's girl.so I still decorate with greens, oranges, and browns. Have to say that is one of the coolest quilts I've seen. To see you cut it off was heart breaking ... it does look pretty though the way you hung it. ❤

[@margaretenglish8465]

Hi Kate, I love your videos and I agree with everyone that you are so beautiful and lovely. I love your boho style. I get so much comfort from your videos, they are works of art. Happy Anniversary xxx🥰 🤗

[@My_beesknees_lavender_cottage]

the Albert Einstein quote at the beginning is perfect. I have been following your journey and am so inspired to start my channel 😍I'm currently going through a long-term marriage & and now divorce, it's been brutal but watching you and your life has inspired me in so many ways. in fact, my tiny house on wheels is being built and is coming soon and I will be stating my new life on the family farm. do not worry about inappropriate words from others. thank you, sweet friend, for always being you!!! 💕

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Charlie is such a lovely pup...so loving! You look great. I love the quilt..❤👍🦜🌴🦋🌺🐞🦀
