Looks soooo cozy and lovely. I did shed a tear for Pepsi when you told about the stockings and the ashes, she'll be with you in spirit for sure, love from Cavan
I remember Pepsi, he was so sweet, cats tend to gravitate to people who have good hearts. Here in the US, we call them stockings instead of socks. You could still put up Pepsi's stocking in memory of him.
We lost Darling Jack, our Chihuahua-Terrier after 14 years, two years ago. And my beloved Queenie (black and white cat) many years before that. Both reside in our home still, and I still cry when I think of them. Queenie would butt my head if she heard me crying, and made me feel better. Oh, and there is a bread dough heart on our tree for Bronco, our dog, who we had for sixteen years , and he’s been gone for almost 20 years now. Animals never leave, I think! Any way, love your Christmas decorating and your sweet cheekiness!
"Romantic Cottage" better describes your look and that's why I love your channel. Your Christmas 🎄 decor is clean, classy, and romantic. Can't wait to see what Christmas DIYs you come up with. Great video.
Catherine I do the same crying every year. We miss everyone so much. Look for little Pepsi, she's around. I tell my parents all the time, "I can't see you two, but I know you are here!" 💝
Oh Catherine your home looks beautiful and as for the greenhouse, absolutely spectacular. You’ve made me sooo Christmassy you should see my house right now I’ve got decorations everywhere ha ha. Take care and have a lovely week. Xxx
Lovely🎄inspired🌟~ Here is idea~each year save favorite wrapping paper and wrap box with lid to store your precious ornaments ( wrap each one in pretty tissue) and 🏷 with old Christmas cards A-Z labels. Take memory pic with phone! Then when ornaments on tree, empty pretty box goes under tree 🎁 as faux gift🎄❤️🥰
Catherine you are a force of nature, I wish I had your energy, everything looks lovely in your house, I'm not a Christmassy person , but you have made me feel festive, thanks, I'm going to make an effort this year, love from Manchester, England xxx😆😆😆
Men don't 'plump'! If he makes his bed, be happy with that. Loved watching you clean and decorate - well it's always more enjoyable when someone else is doing the work. Everything is lovely. You must get out a tea set and have a few friends over for a festive afternoon tea.
I’m bawling my eyes out 😭😭😭reading the pet prayer. Everything was absolutely Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed evening. Lisa Palmer Florida USA
When I watch your video it brings back wonderful memories with my kids who of course they are all grown up and married. Yes I have 7 grandchildren ranging in the age from 22 - 10. They are back in the US so I will not get to see them until I am home for a visit. I love how you make us all feel at home and it gladdens my heart. You are truly an inspiration to this new generation. You mom and family mist be so proud of you in all that you have accomplished, I know I am you must get this from you mom God bless her. I know you miss Pepsi but she left you with lots of memories and these will help you along the way. I just love all your decorations both on the trees and in your house makes it every elegant yet festive. Todays goal is I am hunting for a Christmas tree for my apartment hopefully I will find one. God bless and thanks for sharing.
I sorry about the loss of Pepsi..we lost 4 of our pets this year and that poem, 😢, got me right in the heart. 3 dogs and a kitty. It hurts to lose pets. Ok..your decorating hit the mark again. Beautiful!
The 'If Tomorrow starts without me' poem appeared randomly on my TH-cam video feed a couple of days before my Uncle passed away from Cancer, a few weeks ago. It was read so beautifully in the video, that I had tears rolling down my face as I listened to it. When my Uncle finally passed a few days later I printed off a copy of the poem and attached it inside the Sympathy card I sent to my Aunt. She thought it was so lovely that it was read out at my Uncles Funeral by his eldest Grand Daughter. You made a wonderful job of your Christmas decorations. I shall be doing ours this coming weekend. I'm both looking forward to doing them and dreading doing them.
Everything looks beautiful, Catherine! You've just put me in the Christmas spirit! I know you still miss Pepsi. We lost our Sophie three days before Christmas last year. Hard to believe it's been a year. We miss her terribly.
I can’t pic which season is my favorite, Christmas or Halloween!! I love them both so much but seeing you getting ready for Christmas looks so cozy. Your house just radiates Christmas cheer. ❤😊 And as a short man I can say a ladder is a great purchase 😂😂😂😂
I have ornaments with my past kitties names on, I still put them all on the tree xx it's so hard isn't it. I did shed a tear listening to you talk about your precious baby xx forever in our hearts xx
Everything is beautiful as always. Bless your heart...you welcomed Pepsi into your life even though she was a neighborhood cat. You have such a wonderful heart!
Oh Catherine, you are such an inspiration and full of love. You make me so happy watching your videos. You make me realise what life is all about. I wish you much happiness for the future. Jennie/ Sheffield UK. xxxxxx
Oh - I didn’t know about Pepsi. So sorry. I agree-just want Pepsi-that’s how I felt when I lost my Shadow-cat. It was just me and Bella Boo afterwards but then along came Paquita. And then Sweetpea Smudgie. When a cat needs a home-he/she will find you. Love your decorations! Take care.
i was wondering through Homesense the other day and saw so many pink/rose coloed Christmas decor and thought, "It's a Dainty Christmas store!". #RomanticCore.... see, it's now a trend. :) It's the little things, like Pepsi's stocking, that pull at our heart strings. When I lost my dear Hank, the Vet had made a little paw print from him and framed it with a little tuft of his fur attached to the back. Cried for days but was so touched. Thanks for sharing the poem.
As ever Catherine it's a delight to watch you and all you do .you have a warm and true way of expressing yourself and so lovely to see Blondie being your decorating pal.Beloved Pepsi will also be a heavenly guardian angel too.I know we all so enjoy all your creative projects and diys..You have magical way of transforming things into beautiful treasures.You captured the true spirit of Christmas here.Love and hugs from Tricia UK.xx❤️❤️❤️
Catherine you are such dear ♥. I always give you a thumbs up as soon as the video starts. Everything you touch blooms. I always think "romantic " when I look at your decor,especially your Christmas decorations. My heart goes out to you losing a beloved pet is one of the most heartbreaking things in life. Everywhere we have lived I have taken in strays and animals that aren't being cared for ,even in minimal fashion. I pray that you have a Merry Christmas and wondrous holiday season with all the joy your heart can hold.😘🎄☃️❄🎁
Catherine on Turkey Day! Gobble Gobble! Love your beautiful Christmas decor (and you look lovely in your red jumper)! thanks for sharing dear! Be safe and well! FA LA LA LA LA
Definitely feeling your Christmas vibes 🎄 I love Christmas and all that it means in my home and I was even married to my Sweetheart on Christmas day 💕 I put up my tree on November 1st this year so YEP, I love Christmas 🤗
A few years ago you made a lovely bauble wreath . If you still have it ,wouldn't it look grand in the greenhouse. Pepsi will always live in your heart, put up that 3rd stocking fill it with love.🥰
Yes I was crying because I’ve got two cats and a dog and I’ve lost the cats I know what it’s like 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you for sharing take care keep safe all the family 🐈🐈🐈🐈
Simply beautiful Christmas is when we miss them the most but I am sure they are around us xx put the stocking up it looks good and it’s a beautiful reminder of her life xx
Was trying HARD 2 understand you , honey..with your charming accent!!...lol but ur lovely whimsical house is so darling ...romantic..sparkly u are very sweet girl....Happpiest of Christmas & Holidays....i love everything watching fr USA. TEXAS....the greenhouse is so beautiful & magical ..&.i love that little shed next 2it also..the kitty is precious too.ive had 2 white cats loved them dearly......he goes w ur decor...you take care & have blessed peaceful holidays..love fr West TEXAS., USA🌲🌲🌲🎁🎁🎁💜💜🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think it would be lovely to leave the other stocking up as a remembrance 🤔 Maybe you could hang a cross on the front of it or something you like that as soon as you see it, you’ll know she’s still with you🥰 Your home is even more beautiful with all the Christmas decorations up😀🥰
Oh my goodness!! That floral that you put on your mantle. Yes, please!! I love it! I know the kitties really grab at your heartstrings! Everything is so, so pretty!!
Oh Catherine, put up Pepsi’s sock, she is still in you heart and with you in Spirit. A remembrance of her is OK. Having a cry is ok. It’s been 14 years since I lost Squeeker, and I finally got a new companion, but Sugar and Squeeker have their places in my home. This is Gloria’s first Christmas, she will be 8 months old just before Christmas, and I’m debating putting up a table top tree, rather than worrying about her pulling a tree over on herself. She’s still a bit of a clutz as her body is growing and throwing off her balance. Your home is beautiful.
When I was a kid we made paper wreaths out of a wire hanger and tissue paper. We shaped the wire hanger into a circular wreath shape. The tissue paper was cut into about 3/4” by 6-8” strips. We took a strip and folded it in half over the wire and twisted it, then added another. You just kept adding and pushing them together around the circle until it was a full as possible and fluffed the tissue up. Very easy to do with kids and no glue!
After I lost Luna I felt the same and right now my Sirius is not long for this world so I am looking at going through that again. But after a year and a half I got THREE 7 month old kittens. My house came alive. My heart healed and opened up. They saved me. Of course the whole time you were decorating I was visualizing how my kitty cats would destroy ALL of it. 😄 Got me thinking on how I can work around Tornados 1,2&3 and still have an elegantly decorated house...🐯🐯🐯🎄🎁 Hanging from the ceiling perhaps???
Catherine, your house looks lovely as always. Very warm and cozy. Put up Pepsi’s sock. Our little Reggie dog passed in September and his stocking is right up with the rest of ours, as it should be. After almost 21 years It was so hard losing him and miss him so much, but it makes me happy to know that even though he’s gone he will always be a part of our family 🙂❤️❤️
Catherine the poem made me cry. I foster cats for a charity and am the foster co-ordinator. 3 days ago I had to have one of my fosters called David put to sleep. he was my 48th foster in 3 and a half years and only the 4th cat i have had to pts. Loved your video. I shall be decorating my tree with my grandkids next weekend. I bought hot choc melts for them and a small gingerbread house kit for each of them to do. I have already bought and wrapped all the xmas gifts and have even sorted the xmas eve box for the grandkids ( party at mine on xmas eve) xxxxx
Everything is beautiful! As usual, watching your videos just makes me happy. This morning, I’m watching while enjoying my coffee and a piece of pumpkin pie. Looking forward to more of your videos- have a wonderful weekend!
Kudos for addressing the feels of losing a pet. And for keeping on. I've got the decor out for a few Christmases, then didn't decorate because it was too hard seeing all of my doggo's ornaments 😪 This year I'm doing it though! Your place is beautiful!
This is my first Christmas without my little dog, Milly, and I am in two minds about decorating, it just feels wrong ☹️ She was almost 17 when I had to have her put to sleep in July. She was so strong. I'm just aching for her....
Awww I could so relate to your stocking dilemma 🥺 we lost our beloved lil dog of 17 years. We still hang her stocking every year. I found a beautiful crystal angel that hangs with her stocking. I still miss her so much 🥺😢 Your home is so festive and beautiful!!!
It's going to be three years since my tomcat went "upstairs" in January and his ashes are still in the container they used for him and the cards and sweet messages they gave me too. Yes, you made me well up, but it's alright. I lost both my parents in December, 10 years apart, so I'm always on the verge of a little weep every Christmas season. Sorry to be a bit morbid, not to worry, your home is so beautiful it cheered me up. 😘🎄☃️🎁💝
I cut strips of green felt about 6to 8 inches wide and weave them inside the branches near the pole to make my tree look fuller! It really works! I enjoy your TH-cam channel!
Catherine you did it gal...you put me in the Christmas mood. Oh so lovely and cosy and yes Romantic I see that. The trees looks so lovely... Pepsi 😢🙏 free spirit fur baby. You are so lovely Catherine, so very easy to watch and I love your style. I wish you every good wish for Christmas and the New year my lovely. 🙋🏼♀️
Everything looks so beautiful! I just love your videos! I lost my Cat, Abby of nearly 18 years, 3 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. I still hang up her stocking. ♥️
I’m so glad U decorate your home!! So many single friends don’t decorate, because “It’s just me” if U don’t love your self enough to decorate....I feel sorry for them!!! I decorate every room!!! I was inspired by U!! When U were in the little rooms!! I 💓 U R so sweet and caring!! Just know, U inspire me every time U have a posting! I watch the Christmas ones several times LOL
So pretty! You need to get organized with your decorations, makes the world of a difference. It doesn't take that much longer when putting it away but it makes the decorating process so much more pleasurable.
This is the video I look forward to every year . If you wanted to put Pepsi stocking up you could place the poem inside the stocking unless it's too hard for you xxx
Here I am watching this in March and just loving everything you've done. But, I love Christmas, it's lovely to see anytime of the year. Thanks for this.
Love your Christmas trees they are beautiful so is the rest of it. Awww Pepsi do miss her. So your DYI’S sound like fun especially the quilt socks now that might turn very fashionable…. You never know! ☃️🎄☃️🌲💕
Your home is lovely, your Christmas decorations are beautiful, if it was me I think I would still hang Pepsi stocking up too as he was a big part of your life, and will always be in your heart ❤️, take care 😘 xxx
This young woman could make any house look coozzy, at a fraction of the price of a designer!
🥰🥰 thank you Christine x
Looks soooo cozy and lovely. I did shed a tear for Pepsi when you told about the stockings and the ashes, she'll be with you in spirit for sure, love from Cavan

“You gotta make a mess, don’t ya?” Can so relate to this!! Loved it! Adorable as always my dear! Always make me smile! 🎄🥰😘
Did she mean, there is another way to do Xmas decs???
@Mary McLean
? I don't know either...
HER CHRISTMAS TREE AND DECOR ARE BEAUTIFUL AS IS
Ladies, I make the biggest mess when decorating my Christmas Tree and Decor!
After it's all done & cleanig up ! ... I'm Happy !!
Beautiful! Thanks for mentioning the reality of losing a beloved pet. Christmas can be difficult when one is grieving the loss of a loved one.
Thinking of anyone going through this ❤️
We lost Darling Jack, our Chihuahua-Terrier after 14 years, two years ago. And my beloved Queenie (black and white cat) many years before that. Both reside in our home still, and I still cry when I think of them. Queenie would butt my head if she heard me crying, and made me feel better.

Lol watching this in July 2023. So cozy!
I loved when the coin fell out of your pocket and you exclaimed “Abundance…. “ brought a smile to my face…. just delightful xx
I can’t pic which season is my favorite, Christmas or Halloween!!
I love them both so much but seeing you getting ready for Christmas looks so cozy. Your house just radiates Christmas cheer.

Everything is beautiful as always. Bless your heart...you welcomed Pepsi into your life even though she was a neighborhood cat. You have such a wonderful heart!
We lost our cat Barley in July. He was 10. My heart broke with yours when you talked about Pepsi. I teared up while
reading that poem.
Aww so sorry to hear x x x x

“It was on the long finger ....” god, I’ve not heard that expression in years!! 😆
Ahaha bringing it back 🤣🤣
I laughed, I sang along with the music, and thought that the video was dreamy! Thank you.

I just want to sit by the fire and join you for a chat and a cup of tea in your beautiful cozy home!
Oh Dainty once again you have me giggling “plump the cushions” so funny. Your home is super cozy, well done.
i was wondering through Homesense the other day and saw so many pink/rose coloed Christmas decor and thought, "It's a Dainty Christmas store!". #RomanticCore.... see, it's now a trend. :) It's the little things, like Pepsi's stocking, that pull at our heart strings. When I lost my dear Hank, the Vet had made a little paw print from him and framed it with a little tuft of his fur attached to the back. Cried for days but was so touched. Thanks for sharing the poem.
Oh the whole house is stunning but that shed!! There are no words! And I love that you love your tea!! That’s the thing!
Everything looks so beautiful, makes me what to decorate our home now .
Aw thanks so much for watching ❤️
I am praying with you. I know the feeling. The decorations are so beautiful.
Everything is so Beautiful! I know how it feels to miss a beloved pet. I just love that greenhouse! You sure can decorate!

And has been extra spoilt. ❤️
Absolutely lovey and warm and welcoming. I lost my dog just 2 weeks a go! Its such a heartache... And its true, they are only a thought away.
I'm sorry to hear that Cliff ❤️
@@DaintyDiaries Thank you sweetheart. Merry Christmas.
Awww I could so relate to your stocking dilemma 🥺 we lost our beloved lil dog of 17 years. We still hang her stocking every year. I found a beautiful crystal angel that hangs with her stocking. I still miss her so much 🥺😢
Your home is so festive and beautiful!!!
Love, love the bedroom tree. I’d probably go to sleep with the tree lights on, it’s so beautiful
Aww thanks Diane x
It's going to be three years since my tomcat went "upstairs" in January and his ashes are still in the container they used for him and the cards and sweet messages they gave me too. Yes, you made me well up, but it's alright. I lost both my parents in December, 10 years apart, so I'm always on the verge of a little weep every Christmas season. Sorry to be a bit morbid, not to worry, your home is so beautiful it cheered me up. 😘🎄☃️🎁💝
I cut strips of green felt about 6to 8 inches wide and weave them inside the branches near the pole to make my tree look fuller! It really works! I enjoy your TH-cam channel!
Catherine, I love you too bits. Your energy is so positive.
Now that is christmas. I'm sure Pepsi is looking on thinking lovely thoughts of Christmas's past God bless
Catherine you did it gal...you put me in the Christmas mood. Oh so lovely and cosy and yes Romantic I see that. The trees looks so lovely... Pepsi 😢🙏 free spirit fur baby. You are so lovely Catherine, so very easy to watch and I love your style. I wish you every good wish for Christmas and the New year my lovely. 🙋🏼♀️
Everything looks so beautiful! I just love your videos!
I lost my Cat, Abby of nearly 18 years, 3 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. I still hang up her stocking. ♥️
It all looks VERY very nice; the lighted greenhouse is to die for.
Thanks Linda 🥰

I’m so glad U decorate your home!! So many single friends don’t decorate, because “It’s just me” if U don’t love your self enough to decorate....I feel sorry for them!!! I decorate every room!!!

🤣 oh I’ll do anything and everything even if I’m by my self 🤣🤣🤣🤣🎄🎄🎄🎄
So pretty! You need to get organized with your decorations, makes the world of a difference. It doesn't take that much longer when putting it away but it makes the decorating process so much more pleasurable.
Yes, that’s my mission, organise them for next year 🥰
I understand about Pepsi. I was watching some older videos Pepsi was in and it was bittersweet.
Everything looks so Beautiful Catherine! ❤ I'm totally inspired to decorate my house now! 🙂 x
Thanks sweetheart 🥰
This is the video I look forward to every year . If you wanted to put Pepsi stocking up you could place the poem inside the stocking unless it's too hard for you xxx
you know, I think it would be nice to leave those greenhouse lights up all year long!
Everything is looking wonderful and cozy for Christmas . Well done !
Here I am watching this in March and just loving everything you've done. But, I love Christmas, it's lovely to see anytime of the year. Thanks for this.
Love your Christmas trees they are beautiful so is the rest of it. Awww Pepsi do miss her. So your DYI’S sound like fun especially the quilt socks now that might turn very fashionable…. You never know! ☃️🎄☃️🌲💕
Absolutely beautiful Catherine very romantic I think I would hang Pepsi’s stocking with the poem in xxx🎄
Your home is lovely, your Christmas decorations are beautiful, if it was me I think I would still hang Pepsi stocking up too as he was a big part of your life, and will always be in your heart ❤️, take care 😘 xxx
