I read along time ago, “Gardeners live in beautiful places, because they create it.” Which tells us that everyone can create their charmed life. Thank you for showing us how.
❤
@kathierogers3208 - Perfect ❤
What you're saying about it being intentional is so true. I spend so much time & energy decorating our home and working on our garden but I do it for me. My husband and occasional guest enjoy my efforts but I love the home that I've created. And my garden is so improving with your influence. Thank you!
Thank you, Linda! I enjoy what you are saying, Linda. Being in my garden, with the bugs and constantly growing grass, er weeds, and flowers, I am happier (especially after long Covid is ravaging my energy). I, too, enjoy being a block from food, shopping and coffee, but when I am in my garden, I regain my strength and energy. Sharing this lovely quote from Minnie: "When the world wearies and society fails to satisfy, there is always the garden." -- Minnie Aumonier
Love your message, it is important to look for the positive in our lives, be grateful and voice your joy in life. Our media promotes negative and fear to the point of creating panic. We all have so much to be grateful for. Enjoy life Like I enjoy your videos.
If I don't need it or don't know where Im going to put it, I do not purchase it. Living more minimal and clutter free creates a more beautiful for me.
I also live a charmed life! I can't walk to my favorite museum but i can across the street to walk in a corn field and woods.
I just love you and your attitude. One can create a better life for themselves. You have done it. Yay, Linda. We learn so much from you and Stewart.❤️
Yay! You snuck in an “outfit of the day.” I miss “Outfit of the day.”
So well said, friend!! Life is what you make it, for the most part… it’s true some may have more obstacles than others ( but we all have them to some degree?)but basically WE create our reality and happiness is a choice. Sometimes it takes work but it’s always a choice. Preach on, Sister!!😂♥️
Very well said!
Be the star of your OWN life. Yes!
Seeing you sitting on those steps reminds me of my childhood where I would go out on my front porch steps and watch the traffic go by and later on when my then boyfriend (now my husband) would be expected and I’d be looking for him to arrive. Just love your place and your steps!
Those lanterns were so pretty when they lit up😀. I really enjoy Stewart and Leah adding such great comments to the videos; aren’t you lucky to have those two in your life. As always, I love your videos and content.
We all see the grass greener on the other side when we chase the elusive butterflies but "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home" and that is the quality of a grateful heart. 💛💙🧡
Still hoping to get to that point! The hubs & I aren’t “home” yet.
1st of all, I always love your outfits. The shot from down on the sidewalk of all of the front landscaping is so beautiful. I have solar lights along the pathways, solar lanterns ,and a patio umbrella with solar lights. I love yours on the shepherd hooks on the side of the house. Everything looks so pretty lit up and the house is coming along beautifully! p.s. I also love the string lights people hang outside but they don't work for my house.
Linda, just a FYI those solar lights are great INSIDE during a power outage.
So much of what you are referencing is gratitude. It’s what can soothe one’s soul. And you MUST read the Mitford books!!!! They are charming, hilarious, touching and wonderful. I reread them all when the world we live in gets me down. Great lessons in those little books. Happy summer!😊
I thought the same thing, having gratitude makes all the difference!❤
What great video today! I agree with all that you said about creating a charmed life. I just love our home that I have decorated and our garden that both my hub and I are creating. We are very grateful for learning thrifting a few years ago, it is so much fun and is so sensible. Thanks Linda for all that I learn from you and your charming words. And you looked lovely in your summer dress today.
I’ve learned so much from you over the years. I loved this chit chat! I hope you love the Mitford books…so charming. My brother and I have long called each other Sherlock and Watson. We love thinking we live in our own fairytale world.
Can’t wait until tomorrow when you share your backyard outdoor living plans. I’m sure it will be creative & lovely just like you!!
Totally enamored! You look beautiful and the gardens with all of the white plants look sooooo beautiful at dusk with all of the lanterns…. Really so gorgeous!!!
Love your videos. I get so much inspiration for our landscaping that we are planning for our new build house.
Side note.
Couple in video were very suspicious. Hope you have video surveillance on your home.
Will Leah share her space? I would love to see her home.
Leah has beautiful, thoughtful style, a true individual. Love the complementary fashion between Linda & Leah. I would like to see how she creates her living space.
I'm 65 & still live in a home with many what I call "early relative" pieces. Why buy new when used is just as good if not better.
All good things come from the Lord. We should give him all the glory.
U are so right if it wasn't for God we wouldn't be hear so all our hard work through him he made it happen so evangelist is good if we believe love the Lateran
I had a lantern from QVC and really liked it but it didn’t last. I would like to get a solar light instead of using batteries. I find that since I am getting older that I have been getting rid of things and am conscious of what I really need vs don’t need. There are umbrellas that have lights in the underneath. Probably could hang your own though.
We have a choice in how we view life! I used to be such a Negative person. And I was very unhappy. Then I learned about gratitude. And it changed my life drastically for the better and many years after I am still very happy. I control the kinds of people I let in my life, if they bring negativity, I don't remain friends or I avoid them. I have many good friends now and we support each other in many ways. I started a gratitude Journal and sometimes it was very difficult to find something I can be grateful for in the state my mind was in at the time. But it got easier and easier each day and now I tell God how grateful I am for the the many blessings He gives me!!! The choice is always ours!
Loved your talk about consumerism, we all need to be more attuned to this issue. Most of us (myself included) have more things than we need. I do practice all your thoughts. We lost everything in a fire almost 5 years ago, it was very eye opening as to what is important and really needed and enjoyed. Thank you for this video.
Loved the video. Love how you give helpful tips, wise words and advice. Leah is lucky to have you as a mentor friend and boss. I love how you create this magical world as you mentioned and teach us how to do the same. I wish I grew up with that magical positivity that would help me to find joy and beauty in the ordinary but not too late. I have you as my virtual mentor and I can’t thank you enough. Thank you
I am insane with outdoor lighting. I have individual path lights along my garden borders, as well as small, color changing solar powered lights dotted in two of my small accent trees. I love them! I also have a string of lights in my corner pine garden. It’s absolutely magical!
Brown metal SOLAR lanterns. Love the cozy light. I also use solar curtain lights in my pergola. Dreamy ambiance at night.
Absolutely LOVED this video. Linda, you will never know how much your videos have inspired me. Thank you. (and thank you for the outfit of the day 😊) ❤
Things we get from others are the best!! At 68, some of my favorite things came from family or friends that are no longer with me, and yet, they are, every time I see or touch, something that was gifted to me by special people in my life, and are treasures that can’t be replaced. And, the feelings that they bring are the greatest blessings. And so, I like to gift people with things that may have meaning for them, so that when I am gone, hopefully, I will be remembered with fondness, when they see it or use it.
It also helps to have money 🤷🏻♀️
How did you come to know Leah and how did she become a part of your videos?
❤Good point.😊I am also very grateful for my lovely life and that of family members. I downsized and am giving away all I can to a, Buy Nothing (free) store, set up at a nonprofit. They open it once a month. We don't want to toss out anything nice that others can use.👍
Less is more, but you and your friend peddle amazon and link everything- sustainable, not really. You love your neighborhood in Oklahoma but “don’t build near my Colorado land” , no, no. Your gardeners work hard and you Pat them on the back “great work”, but didn’t see them at your “wine party “. Oh well business is business and this is a business. “Linda’s Favorite Product Guide” of course, a business -
Agree! Victoria Osteen wrote a book called, “Love Your Life.” ☀️👍🎉🎉
Linda, Thank you so very much for beautifully displaying our precious American flag. Not enough people fly our flag. I’m so glad you do and so perhaps reminding others to fly theirs, too.
I hate to be a pessimist, but those lights along the outer sidewalk area (and even on the East side of your house) 'may' be too tempting to passersby in the dark. I would expect a few of them to go-on-a-walkabout.....
My lanterns in the night are both solar hanging lanterns and patio lights that turn on automatically at dusk. Gardening is my therapy! I love watching your channel and getting tips and tricks. I'm working on my own signature style. I'm in a zone 5 A, in southeastern Idaho.
I've driven cross country with my daughter twice (please, God, not again anytime soon!) when her job required her to live in California and then in DC. Both times, by the time we reached the coast, we only had 2-3 days before she had to begin work. We thrifted and used Facebook Marketplace to outfit each apartment. By the end of day 3, she had furniture, plants in pots, pictures on the walls and plans to fill in the missing pieces on her own. When the time came to move again, she sold most everything on Facebook Marketplace. It was a super fun experience and we felt good about buying used for almost everything. Good luck, Leah!
I believe gardeners are some of the happiest people because they do create their own beautiful life. It is a joy to garden and share the results with others. I smile when I hear Stewart in the background chuckling when Linda talks about something....he does indeed add to the show although we do not see him. I have lanterns on my porches, patios and garden walkways. They are on timers....I will definitely be checking out those solar candles. I do not use real flame candles outside as I live on the edge of a woodland in the country. I love thrifting for furniture, dishes, books, art and the list goes on..........I love antiquing also as I find high quality pieces for less than in the shops. Enjoyed seeing your lanterns lite at dusk. Nothing like candle light.
Loved all Jan Karon’s books. I think there are those that just find beauty in every simple thing, and joy in the everyday.
I love using solar lanterns in the garden
Hoselink does range of solar lights that you may want to look at.......
Oh, Linda, you MUST make time to read/listen to the Mitford series! I’ve read it multiple times and it always lifts my spirits, calms my soul and encourages me live a joyful life through all kinds of circumstances. You definitely won’t regret the time spent! It’s wonderful!
At my little farm house, we have mason jars filled with solar powered fairy lights hanging from the trees and around the garden fence. They are magical at night.
Can you share where you purchased your fairy lights?
Great subject! I love lighting my front and back yard! I repurposed a new birdhouse, gluing and grouting rocks to make it look like a gnome home. Then I glued gnome figures on the front porch and added solar fairy lights inside. To weather proof it I applied several coats of high gloss varnish. Then I placed it by my pond.
So true to be appreciative of one's own life. Life is beautiful.😍💚🌸🌼🌺🌹🌸
“ To live my bigger life, I need less.” Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Linda!
Wow! You're comments about your "charming life" made me stop and think about my many blessings; living near a very charming small town in north central GA has given us a beautiful lifestyle.... gardening, family and friends close by, time (as retirees) to watch the wildlife all around us as they enjoy my gardening efforts. Thank you for reminding so many of us that we are so wonderfully blessed!
I love my solar garden lamps, they make the garden so magical.
Loved the discussion about how to approach consumption. Accumulated stuff can feel burdensome when it’s time to downsize. I feel satisfaction when I drop off a load at Good Will.
I love your positivity and your message. It is an important reminder that we can all create a wonderful life around us. I am a gardener too and I live in a very busy summertime resort (Sag Harbor) . A lot of people I know just complain about the summer traffic and the summer people etc. But people forget that the money that pours in here in the summer drives the economy. I do find that I hide in my garden a lot as it is my paradise. But I try and step back and create a life I enjoy and appreciate life so much and don’t need to be out in the crowds of summer.
Linda you'd really enjoy An Island Garden by Celia Thaxter
How do I light my out side? This time of year, I just stay INSIDE. I'm in Central Texas and even when we keep the bugs down, it's just too hot during July, August and part of September to go outside. The rest of the time tho, my husband hung colored tiny lights at Halloween, never took them down, then Christmas lights on top of those. And never took them down. We have a little patio fence. Surprisingly, we love it and so do our neighbors.
Life is short live it your most beautiful way.. I love that you are barefoot. We feel so grounded and energised without our shoes on.
I have lanterns on my deck...I had my carpenter install shorter shepard's hooks and the lanterns hang from them. Inside the lanterns I have OUTDOOR battery operated candles that I get on Amazon....I get the 2 1/2" so they fit down in my ceramic lanterns. The candles have timers, tight plugs on the bottom so water doesn't get in, are plastic cause wax melts. I have too much shade to use solar lanterns/candles.
I love thrifting. I find higher quality items than my budge would allow otherwise. It's a no brainer for me. I save 80% off most items. Give it a try,
NannyNanny BooBoo😅 that phrase brings back so many childhood memories being the oldest of 4 girlies.
You are such a gracious lady. I love everything about your gardening ability.❤
well that was fun and infromative. Linda, I'm looking for your link to the large solar tealights, and your outdoor lightbulbs that looks like gas flames. Can you help me out? Fingers X
...I have low-voltage landscape lighting (I installed myself -- it was easy) and various solar (tasteful) lights throughout my beds. I use solar flood/spotlights to illiminate specimen plantings also. I have an area where I would like to place the string lights, but I havent gotten to it yet. I had experienced quality issues also with the QVC lanterns; I have 2 sizes and just swapped out other timer pillars; they're on my patio table. One ended up free, as it arrived with shattered glass (and i mean smithereens!). It's just open-sided now on all 4 sides. C'est la vie. 🤷🏼♀️👩🏼🌾💚 =^..^=
Love the lanterns at night so fun! Now to your silver pitcher with your greens from Trader Joes, do you have any idea what the name of that is, I was rather shocked when I took them out of their sleeve because it appeared from the branch it's some type of pine. I'm in Zone 6a and would love it if I could grow that here. Thank you for my Saturday evening walk about. 🪅🌿🪅
Where did you purchase your skirt?
Love this video! The lantern lights are magical. I have a few outside at our home. Love it!!!
Leah is precious!
Gratitude is a wonderful gift to give yourself and all who you encounter.🌹
What a joyful video I love all the lanterns with candles that turn on at night also, I love the pair by your side fake door. I will certainly check them out.
I understand and support what you are saying. I walk every morning with many of my neighbors. We say good morning, walk a bit with each other when it suits our fancy, catch up, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I head to my garden following my walk. Such a great way to start my day!
Amen to Garden Gate!
Lol was that a streaker in the back ground??😂
Love night luminaries! I have string lights around my porch and deck love my candles on my outdoor tables and use the lanterns on my tables on porches. Also in my She Shed I use flameless candles in an old candle arbor I found at a thrift store. Love your new house and garden. Wish I could come and sit on the Social patio.
I love your positive attitude and energy. Recently became an empty nester and was worried that I wouldn’t know how to pass my time. My garden is my centering space. You look so pretty!
I love the idea of using lanterns and candles. I use them in my screened in porch in many places and also in my house. I use mostly the timed a candle they're on for certain number of hours . I have not had a problem with the wax melting as in covered porch very nice collection lanterns u show l also use lots fairy lights on timers hope. U had a nice 4th😻
Thank you Linda … you spoke to me today ☺️🙏🏼🇦🇺🍷🐨🐨🐨
Linda. I really enjoy watching you and Stewart. So much fun to see your garden. It is so beautiful! Very lovely. Your garden is so wonderful!! It is so exciting to see how everything is growing. Very nice. Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much for sharing about the different garden lights. I have a west facing porch and any of the candles with wax melt or get wonky! However I have used the wonky ones for Halloween displays inside.
I will definitely purchase the solar powered votives.
😊
This is why I love you Linda, your lesson of the day is engaging with others whilst being very appreciative.
God Bless you and I love your garden, best move with your new house you seem so relaxed now. From sunshine coast oz ❤
I have them in my yard,the batteriies can be expensive to replace.
I have the battery ones also. Very expensive to replace so most of mine just sit around for decoration. They still look wonderful!!!!
You’re so uplifting, Linda!
I got some beautiful solar hanging lanterns at Dollar Tree for 5 dollars each . I have gotten lots of compliments and have been very pleased with them.
Your so right. Less is more! When we moved ten years ago to our retirement home we had 40 years of "stuff" Luckily we had a son that just bought, his first home and we gave him a lot of furniture and home goods. But I still love to shop, and realize that I also love to thrift. so if I buy something I donate something. I also volunteer at a local St. Vincents thrift store ( the proceeds go back into the community and to Catholic social services) it's amazing what people donate, clothes with the tag still on them, or toys and books that look brand new. I hardly shop at a real store anymore.
You look SO DARN CUTE today! Love your fresh, casual, breezy attire! Much affect from the city of Detroit!
Much AFFECTION from the city of Detroit!😆
Stewart is a grown adult and can make his way about the garden himself! 😳
I use a lot of lanterns and all are solar, including pathway lights. Love them! My very favorite ones are the kind that look like fire inside…they last so long and also have totally kept the raccoons coming close to my house!
4/4/2024 Panama City, Florida. I'll be 70 in three months and I don't take anything for granted. I really feel so blessed. This year I've placed a bunch of fruit trees in their pots all over my front yard. I'm trying to create a fruit garden. i also created a flower garden where I had a vegetable garden in front of my house. so far so good. my mulberry tree is loaded with mulberries, my pink grapefruit dwarf lots of small fruit so far , my plumb tr is a dwarf too apparently has so many plumbs on it, there's just too many to keep up with. The apple tree i bought a couple of months ago has quite a few little apples so far. i have two acres of land and hurricane Michael took so many of my trees, so I figured I would just replace them with trees that will feed me. I watch you quite often. You help me so very much with all your tips on gardening. Thank you Linda. Beverlee
I love my Garden Gate magazine! It is so informative!
Some call it"Living in gratitude."
Living with someone on oxygen, I had to switch to battery operated candles years ago. Then finding outside in summer they do melt…voila! PVC battery operated candles. Now solar…..who knew! Thanks for letting me know❣️
My home is small, so I buy only things I will love for a very long time. I do change things seasonally when I can. My friend purchases decorations that when she is tired of she donates, usually to me, then to thrift stores. Different strokes for different folks!!! Neither is wrong in my opinion. I do agree with your philosophy. My sofa was really old and worn out. I wanted a new sofa but didn't really to spend $300 to $500 for a new one since my goal is to pay off credit cards. My daughter found a nice leather sofa in great shape for $100. And I purchased a small lady sized recliner chair for $25. My living room now has comfortable seating. They came from a friend of hers.
Linda, I continue to resonate with your content on this channel, and enjoyed the discussion of mindfulness. Thank you.
I love some landscape lighting and I have recently added a few solar lights to my walkways. If one is concerned about the future of our Planet, it’s important to understand the effects of lighting up our neighborhoods 24/7, the upward and ongoing light provided by string lighting that’s prevalent in most neighborhoods today is harmful to our planet! Sadly. Please educate your viewers about sensible use of outdoor lighting! It’s so important, and a little awareness can go a long way! Thank you.

Yes , you live a charmed life. But it is you that created your environment. Every little detail... a flower arrangement, a book, a glowing candle, a seed pod on a book, a basket, a color, a topiary. Its all you! I call my home "The world according to me" . Everything has a feeling or a meaning, either visually or emotionally . Yes you are surrounded by some plant fairies most of us don't have .But we don't have a garden blog either! And that you also created. Love all the flags, which I use in every pot and pillar on the 4th. One little suggestion.... when you showed your 4th of July outfit you threw the little flag on the ground. Flag etiquette says the flag should never touch the ground or floor. Just an FYI... some people just don't know this fact.
Hello Linda, quick question: I went to an antique store this past Saturday and came across a cute pitcher priced at $39. Looking it over I thought "do I need it?" and as I held it in my hand and looked at the bottom only to see the original Goodwill tag priced it at $3.99. Would it be offensive to ask to pay the $3.99?
So loved this vlog! Thank you!! And it all looks beautiful! Just like you! Hugs from Canada!
LInda, I love how you put that! Thank you for all you do!
Really like the lanterns. I keep electric candles in the windows year-round, which also helps illuminate the window boxes. Makes me feel like we're living in a B&B.
I ordered that solar lantern by your recommendation what a mistake! After almost a month it didn't work, I tried to get in touch with someone in Amazon and of course it's impossible, finally I was able to chat with a computer and I was told that since it's a month that I received the light can NOT be returned. I wasn't aware that this product was made in China. Cheap product! will not recommend to anyone.
Sorry I can Not find the link for the solar plastic tea lights that you have in your lanterns
Ohhhhhh girlfriend! I’m glad you showed the cottage at night! Everything is stunning and the entire look changes with the lantern light. Gorgeous! Be blessed!
Linda, I get what you are saying & yes you are very fortunate you’ve been able to buy a place that you love & found it quickly in a neighborhood you were already familiar with & loved. Its so refreshing to see someone reach their dreams. I wish we all could. It’s been difficult for the hubs & I to get to that place in our lives due to the housing market being out of control. We moved to our location for a job 25 yrs ago with one of 3 daughters. We had no desire to live here but a job is a job. Now we recently retired & have no reasons or connections to want to stay. We had hopes to move closer to the coast or even close to one of our daughters but now is nearly impossible to get anything even close to what we have now that we can afford for average folks. We are heartbroken about the timing& that in our later years we are stuck in a place that we never wanted to be & has no meaning. Also the neighborhood has changed & most of our friends have moved away as well as our 3 daughters. At age 70 we don’t have a lot of time to keep waiting for the housing market to correct itself & not sure it will which keeps me feeling a sense of urgency & desperation. The old saying “be happy with what you have” just isn’t cutting it because we’ve been waiting for years to be able to move to a place where our heart is with meaning & contentment. The hubs & I feel like time is wasting. I’m not giving up but man it kills me to know I’m wasting precious time here.❤
