Slow living isn’t a trend for me. It's a lifestyle I have embraced for years; I learned it from my mom and grandma. We always just took our time to enjoy the beauty of the everyday. I’m a romantic at heart, with a very practical lifestyle approach “ keep it simple.” Growing up on a farm furthered my love of simplicity and back to the basics mindset.
We moved almost a year ago to our cozy cottage (check out our mobile home remodel, turning ugly into a sweet cottage), and we are in the process of fixing it up.
I strive to make our home cozy and inviting no matter what stage of remodeling we are in. Making a home hygge and cozy is just a normal way of life for me, and I can’t imagine it any other way.

Abby Jo, this is so calming. If your husband or you does the editing, it is some of the best! The music, your compilations, everything is just excellent.

You might like to know "The Blue Boy" was painted by Thomas Gainsborough and "Pinkie" by Sir Thomas Lawrence. They were purchased by Henry E. Huntington in the 1920s, and hang in the Huntington Gallery in California.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

Thank you, someone else said that in the comments too 🥰 love knowing that! How very cool.

[@maryohare4141]

I lived at edge of Appalachia trail in very rural area...so electric went out often and could be out for1-2 weeks. I filled wash pitchers with bowl in bathrooms and bedrooms when storms were coming....so we had water to bathe or add to toilet tank to be able to flush toilets. WHEN NOT IN USE, I PUT DRIED FLOWERS IN PITCHERS.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

I love that, how resourceful ❤️ that’s why I like old treasures like a pitcher and bowl you can actually use them 🥰

[@cedarhousesoaps]

Yes….it’s ok to have two pitcher and Bowls!!! I also have 2…. My mom made them in the 70’s for my grandmothers… my grandmother gifted hers to me since she new how much I loved it… and when my other grandmother passed.. I was the only one on the family who wanted her pitcher and bowl. Great video love all the frugal tips 🤗 and shop alongs.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

That’s wonderful that you have both of them 🥰 I really love pitcher a bowl sets ❤️❤️❤️

[@patriciakoester1580]

I just order my Pinkie and Blue Boy off Etsy. Momma has had a set as long as I can remember. I have been searching for just the right set for quite a while. The originals hang in the Huntington library herons Southern California. Painted by two separate artist they were hung together and because he is Blue Boy they call her Pinkie even though her actual name is very long and formal.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

Thank you for that delightful information! How amazing the originals hang here in the states! 🥰🥰🥰 I think it wonderful you found a set on Etsy!!

Pinky's mate is Blue Boy. My daughter and son in law collect Blue Boy, and have at least a dozen! One is even a needlepoint! They are all thrifted, and it's so fun finding him! He's all over their house! There's even a statue of him in their fish tank! ❤️

I, like a lot of other people use tinned tomatoes quite frequently, I’ve noticed that almost half of the tin is juice, so I put this juice in a little plastic bag and freeze it , then when I make a curry or casserole I have instant tomato juice instead of opening a full tin.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

[@christine1373]

Abby Jo, Pinkie is one of many prints that were part of Italian made home decor. A lot of the prints are in brass filigree frames in different styles and sizes marked Made in Italy. I have a collection of them. The prints are more like thin magazine photos and most are glued to the backer board. There are prints of children and flower arrangements.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

Oh thank you, for telling me that. They are such pretty prints :)

More great finds while thrifting!! Here in the south, we love cotton sheets as they are so much cooler in our hot climate. My favorite brand is Redland Cotton, made right here in Alabama with cotton grown near by. They are pricy but I see them lasting for years. I enjoyed your shopping tips as well Abbyjo. I recently found an outlet grocery store and it has saved me some grocery money which makes me happy.

I have a very old set of Pinkie and Blue Boy that I thrifted many years ago. I haven’t been able to date my pieces, but the glass is concave, so I feel like they’re rather old. I’ve loved these two paintings since I was a child, seeing the pair my mother had on our wall, I’d imagine they were rich, or royal family! Ha! The history behind the paintings are very interesting. They were painted by two separate artists, but don’t they just belong together? Great video!

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

Oh how wonderful, they do sound very old! I love that you use to imagine their background and who they were. That’s the fun thing about art, we all interpret it and enjoy it in different ways ❤️❤️❤️ I can’t wait to find blue boy now 😍

cranberry red velvet or silk background would be good for bubbled frame. A lace panel background with a winter holly bouquet tied by a thin velvet ribbon would look darling for winter months. You could change bouquets with seasons and dab backs with elmers glue to keep bouquets in place. Braided wheat ornament with crimson and gold leaves for fall with your wool background, would look lovely too. spring and summer would be lovely with floral bouquets.

Watching from the UK ... I am confused when you say there are outages. In the Uk this very rarely happens but when it does it is usually due to very extreme weather or planned maintenance that we are forewarned about. I can't remember a time when I have been without water and very occasionally without electricity due to a storm. I don't have to buy things to cope with it. I have lived in my current house for 10 years and only recall one electric outage which lasted less than 2 hours. How often do you have outages and how long do they last? Do you get compensation from the utility company when they can't live up to the promise of supplying you? I am not being critical just trying to understand a different culture. It seems odd that a country as powerful as the USA can't provide power and water and that you need to plan for what seems to be regular outages.

[@ForgottenWayFarms]

Mostly this just happens in rural areas because of winter storms. Weather here might be a bit more harsh then in the UK. We have -27 Fahrenheit Our winter storms usually only knock out the weather for hours but it does happen to knock it out for a couple days if it’s bad enough weather. They get it on it to fix, but sometimes it takes lines down or trees fall or whatever. Hope that helps 😊
