"Nature doesn't stop growing just because of the fear of a future that may or may not happen, it blooms and thrives and does what it can with the time that it has" So true... And most of the time we forget that we are nature too.
Yeah right, but we have a brain and can reason whereas plants act on the sun or on darkness and dont have much thinking to do. Must admit many humans dont reason anymore than plants do.🧠🍆
You have no idea how much of a blessing your channel has been. Especially in my stressful time of attending technical school during COVID. I’ve never been so stressed and anxious in my life. Your life is my dream life. I know that with God, I will get through the storm and I strive to life a simple yet soul fulfilling, peaceful, and content life such as yours. God bless and amazing work on your channel.
I'm so inspired! I am moving to Rwanda in a couple of months and I see myself growing some of my favorite herbs in pots around my house. I want to create a whole herbal pharmacy in my kitchen. Such a beautiful video, thank you!
Hope you all enjoy! ❤️ the book link is in the description. These are not technically from the ‘tea’ plant, they are herbal tea, lavender, and wild chamomile. Often called a tisane, I believe. Either way, a sip always makes me feel cozy! Best wishes!
TheCottageFairy, I bought the book and order tea from Tea Spectral, the Its a Charming Life blend, for my daughters Christmas. I really enjoy your vlog, the simplicity, the back to the peace and tranquility of what simple living can bring to ones life. Love your cottage
@@skullkid4211 Sometimes you can find them in the grocery store or look for a farmers market close to where you live. You can just about google anything with your zip code these days and get something close by. Good luck.
This has to be the most calm inducing environment I have seen on TH-cam. Love your artwork, your soft speaking voice and your narration which sounds at times like poetry!
Idk why but it made me so happy when you filmed that albino spider and said it was a friend. Most people would kill it on the spot but I’m so glad you treat life like I do and see the world the way I see it. It gives me hope. Thank you for being yourself, never change who you are.
“The difference between a weed and a flower, is judgement” I heard this somewhere the other day, and I immediately thought of this quote when watching this video!
This video has shown us all a slice of heaven. Your beautiful manner of wandering through mother earth and using her gifts for us is so relaxing. Thank you and God bless and keep you safe and healthy.
I sound old fashioned but your lifestyle is what I wish a lot of Americans had. Being content in nature, instead of getting wasted at loud bars and clubs.
I think living in a city getting loud at bars and experiencing that in your 20's is fine and the hope is they will one day realize and grow into wanting a simpler life out in the country. Thats what happened to me when I hit my mid 30's.
Beautiful teas! I can practically smell them...😊... I love what you shared...”Even the busiest days require slow moments” ... “Nature doesn’t stop growing just because of the fear of the future that may or may not happen. It blooms and thrives and does what it can with the time that it has”... So many of us have been either stuck in fear or running on the proverbial hamster wheel. Slow moments and growing through our fear.... Nature is our teacher, thank you for the reminder... blessings to you...❤️
I've been going through a hard time lately and your videos makes me so happy. I love how peaceful the mountains, the lakes and streams. I especially love the flowers, their gorgeous. Keep doing what you do and may you forever be bless. You're an inspiration to me and I thank you for inviting me into your home and sharing a little part of your life.
Oh thank you so much, I’m glad to hear that! I so enjoy making the videos, they help me when I’m struggling as well, a way to recenter. I hope things get better for you 🤍 sending love and light
I also have a fear of fires but you manage to end this video on a positive note. You are such an inspiration and I thank you for creating and capturing such beauty of Mother Nature, especially for those who cannot experience it firsthand! 💚 😇
i can not put in words the Peace, the Gratitude and the Kindness i feel when i see your wonderfull art and beautifull videos. You are healing Humanity with your gentle way of living Paola....
Something I would love about this lifestyle is knowing exactly where my food came from and having everything be natural and made and grown by myself or traded from local sources.
I want to take this moment to thank your beautiful mother for allowing you to bloom where you were planted and to allow you to grow at your own pace. If I had my life to do all over again...I would've given my kids more freedom to be who they wanted...rather than conforming to what was expected.
Beautiful. I need to remember this too, I drank a cup of sunflower tea from our garden yesterday with honey from our bees. But work and worry can catch me up and make me forget. Thank you
So proud of you to face your terrible experiences, but, so too, have I memories of destroying fire and am still not over them. One day maybe...hopefully. Only I have found your videos most comforting and found strength I never knew I possessed. Thomasina my little sister, 16, watches avidly, and loves you because you are the gentle teacher that sensitive young people like her, need. We cannot thank you enough. ❤️❤️
I am so grateful for your videos. I have health issues that cause me plenty of sleepless nights. Your quiet gentle ways nurture my spirit as I distract myself from the physical pain. I truly believe that you young lady have found the magic of what my grandparents knew...that there is beauty and peace to be found in simplicity. We as a society rush about and focus too much on the outer wo-man that we neglect the inner lady that you have shown in all of your videos. Thanks for reminding us that we are first inner human beings that need to be nourished not just with food but with simplicity.
I really appreciate your artistic direction in these videos. It's like watching a series of moving artwork or episodes of a beautiful indie film. It's a breath of fresh air, very calming, refreshing & inspires me to live at a slower pace, moment to moment & take in all the beauty around me. Thank you.
It's so relaxing...... I also love to collect those for tea....and I just love to foraging different kind of flowers and leaves for salats..... Summer is blessing for me....
I love your videos so much! They inspire my family and I to live more simply and enjoy the daily rituals that bring us joy. I would love to see some videos on your teaching as I’m a preschool teacher myself and love the more alternative approaches to teaching ❤️
I am older, winding down after a hectic life, enjoying a smaller place in the country. I didnt know if I could ever feel relaxed, like maybe when I was your age, before the world had beaten me up a bit. But relieved I am, and your videos are helping me remember my innocence, hope, and slower pace. Thank you. I have a question. Could you talk about what you eat, and how you prepare your food, and your diet?
I've been wanting to pick up a book on herb teas, thank you, I did order it. :) We seem to have so much in common. I also have a black lab that I adore, actually two of them, they keep me company and I feel protected when alone at the cabin. Such unconditional love. The fires have been so bad here in northern Colorado, it did stop before it got into the area of my cabin, but it saddens me when I think about the loss of trees and wildlife. Like you, I love the forests, the tall pines, when you get up close, you can smell different fragrances they put off, a lot of vanilla. Blessings to you, thank you for the beauty and peace you share.
First time I saw ur video and I really like it😊I also love growing plants. Recently I make my small balcony garden and when I feel sad I sit there. When I touch leaves I can feel it 😚🤗.
The wild flowers where you live are amazing, we have nothing in England that comes close. Bluebells are the only one I can think of but we are not allowed to pick them. When I was a little girl I used to pick May flowers but you hardly ever see them these days xxx
I was not a tea drinker, but since I had to stay home to look after my kid and stop working full time , notice that I get overwhelmed and I find the homemade tea comfort me . I honestly gonna buy the book to explore variety of tea that I can make with plant available in Canada . Thank you for the beautiful video
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. I've just discovered your channel on this past week and have been watching so many of your videos as a soothing tonic. I've just stayed up late with my 7yo son who couldn't sleep and needed some together time. After lots of chats we settled down to this video and he loved it and asked for more. (Another day! as it's very late at night here now). We live in Devon, England. I also want to thank you as seeing your videos prompted me to open an etsy shop for my drawings for the first time ever. So just as you announce you're closing your shop for now to make way for time with your son who is soon to arrive, here i am opening mine now that my boy is old enough to be well settled at school and allowing me to sometimes have time to myself to be creative ( although I'm still very busy with his younger sister who starts school this sept). Seasons in life change and i wish you all the best for this btw adventure that is about to begin. You've already taught me a lot about living slower and today i lingered in the spring sunshine watching the clouds, letting myself just be, after 7 very intense years feeling like my attention was needed elsewhere.
In this video, you narrated, "Even the busiest days require slow moments," and at first I thought, "ugh, if you have the time," but it is true. Even when we are super busy or feeling late and in a rush, that's when we can make such a mess of things at home or on our way out the door- only to hurt our time right there and then or in the future cleaning up the mess. Nothing has to get broken or spill, in that rushed moment, we may just cause a "mess" by loosing things or by forgetting where we put something we'll spend far too much time searching for all because we gave in to that rushing and late feeling. Even when we are in a hurry, we can run, run yet be just slow enough to be thoughtful and considerate. 2:09 🌷✨
Im in love with your content... I open your videos first thing in the morning with my tea for calming. Because Im close to being negative. It moves my mood. Thank you
Thank you for your videos ❤️ Living vicariously through you...seeing the world through your lens, seeing how you live your life- it truly is the dream. So much love.
Very interesting, I stumbled on your vlog and have found it very rewarding, nice to see someone who is so intune with the need to follow her desires! God bless you.
Hi I really love your lifestyle, I leaving alone with 4 cats in my small house. I have garden not big but I think enough for growing up my vegetables & fruits. Every time I watch your VDO always have an idea for my life. Thank you so much for wonderful clips.
This was such a relaxing and informative video, plus the added relaxing music, it really fits the mood of the video. Thanks, The Cottage Fairy, peace and love to you, live long and prosper. ✌️🖖
What a lovely beautiful garden,tea time is my favorite time,,I loved your life style..thank you so much again.i loved herds .grown fresh organic fruits and vegetables too, life’s beautiful , nature can’t be cheated,Nature is our life 💕🌸🦋god bless and peace grace to all of us 🙏🌸🌺🌲
This was so interesting and relaxing. I buy my tea in box Tea.bags. You do have a heart of gold. Sometimes I watch the reruns at nite. 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝😁😍😘😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you for this topic and book recommendation. I'm at the start of my journey of preserving my wild flowers and herbs for tea making so the book and your examples of the simple approach are very helpful. :) BTW, i just love love your channel. the gentle way you speak, and the rhythm you follow helps me concentrate while I work..... sometimes I find myself re-watching a segment over and over again because I end up missing what you said. Few speakers get me sooo. Thank you for helping to calm my inner self :).
Thank you. Your video showed up in my recommendations and have been watching them all. You are so peaceful to watch and you live in a beautiful place. I am a retired teacher and spend my time painting in acrylic and watercolor. I also live near wildfires in California but still in semi rural area. My neighbors are very close to each other. For the most part I have great neighbors but its not easy to garden for edibles since car gas fumes are hard to avoid and I live near farming fields that spray. Ugh... As a child we were always playing in the woods and fields. Great memories!
Hello from Germany, I have got a little garden and live in a healthy country in a very little village with only 800 people. Every year I picked up so many herbs, flowers and flowers and dry them for tea. Levander is also my absolutely favourite. This year I mixed a jar with a little of all of my picked tea ingredients. What a flavour! Your channel is so peaceful, thank you!
To all those reading this: you are safe and love. You are devinely protected. Don't lose hope. Believe, this video will surely assist. Hug and more power guys.❤️
I do the same Magic with my Coffee. Daily I got about 10 cups of it but it's my recipe also: Coffee Black pepper Red chilly (a bit) Clove (or Ginger). * no Milk, no Sugar It's like a daily Habbit of Taste & a true Nature treatment. I like your recipe while I'm not a Tea-man. Thank you for your video 👍.
Hi! As I'm sipping on my Lavender Tea, I came about your lovely TH-cam Channel. I have subscribed to it and looking forward to watching all of your videos and learning more about tea making. I'm also a Boriqua! Sending hugs!
l remember, as a boy, picking up plants for tea for long winters with my grandmother such as ; camomile, linden, st.John's wort... There was something special in this process. Now, older, l do the same, just to remember the taste and the scent of dried herbs.
I love your videos and I love making tea also. I usually use the dry herbs for the combinations I want, but seeing your videos has encouraged me to be using the fresh herbs that I see in the summer days. ❤
I don't know how much experience you have with video& editing but the quality of your videos is done well and the landscape is gorgeous. Congrats on the success of your channel in such a short time.
I have dandelions growing in my yard. I don't use chemicals and leave them for the bees until other flowers start to bloom. I've always wanted to try them as a tea but was too worried I'd do something wrong and poison myself. LOL I ordered the book on growing tea through your link. Thank you for reminding us that no matter where we live there is always something close by that nature has to offer. That is the journey I am traveling in my second half of life. I only hope I can share my experience with others on my channel with the same grace you do here on yours.
Nice. Great episode Cottage Fairy, you make everything look so easy and so lovely. My favourite tea to make is Lemon Verbena. Oh, and you mentioned Raspberry Leaf, I think (from memory which isn't always reliable...) this tea should come with a warning for expectant mothers. I think they have to avoid it as it might bring on labour! Stay well and please keep making these delightful videos. Cheers, Kitty.
Encounters with the Good People oh thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed it, and I absolutely love lemon verbena! And thank you so much for the feedback, I had actually not heard of the risk of raspberry tea, I appreciate it! I will add a note in my video description this minute - Thank you, best wishes
You have a new subscriber. I am learning about plants 2 years ago. And this year I started harvesting my herbs for tea. I love your video, Is so calming and inspiring.
I love tea, my favorites are lemon herb and vanilla chamomile tea. There are so many different tea flavors out in the mountains to explore. Thank you for this wonderful video.
"Nature doesn't stop growing just because of the fear of a future that may or may not happen, it blooms and thrives and does what it can with the time that it has"
So true... And most of the time we forget that we are nature too.
That's so deep but it's the truth.. we focus so much on the future that we forget to live.
Yeah right, but we have a brain and can reason whereas plants act on the sun or on darkness and dont have much thinking to do. Must admit many humans dont reason anymore than plants do.🧠🍆

I agree! Living in a city where it's so busy and stressful it is so relaxing to watch slow, calm videos like hers.

Oh wow!! What an exciting adventure! ❤️ sending all the blessings to on your travels!
From Chad to Rwanda, that's quite a move, good luck!
Good luck dear ...
I am sure you will love it. From Your African sister

i really wish i could pick dandelions to make tea but literally everything is fertilized since i live in a city 😔

Thank You... 👍

i definitely love and hope that she'll release an audio book poetry in the future♡
I feel the same way, my favorite when I need to destress and find peace
Agreed.... 👍💜🙏

Your channel is so serene. It's almost hypnotic. Love your surroundings, your tea diy. And your minamilism.
I wouldn’t really consider it minamillism
What beautiful handwriting you have. Loved everything about this video 💚
The witches' cookery oh thank you!! 😊 I appreciate your kind words - best wishes
Except the music. Music fine elsewhere. Here, should be only her voice. Music clutters the experience. I can't hear her. I have the wrong ears.
The Meadows with flowers is so beautiful and looks like fairytale.
“The difference between a weed and a flower, is judgement” I heard this somewhere the other day, and I immediately thought of this quote when watching this video!

This is the best of all the fairytales I've came across.

I don't always drink tea but omg, this vid will definitely make me cut from coffee moments ❤️
u should drink tea
Tea can make you awake(some) plus it is very healthy 😃
I sound old fashioned but your lifestyle is what I wish a lot of Americans had. Being content in nature, instead of getting wasted at loud bars and clubs.

Few speakers get me sooo. Thank you for helping to calm my inner self :).
Thank you. Your video showed up in my recommendations and have been watching them all. You are so peaceful to watch and you live in a beautiful place. I am a retired teacher and spend my time painting in acrylic and watercolor. I also live near wildfires in California but still in semi rural area. My neighbors are very close to each other. For the most part I have great neighbors but its not easy to garden for edibles since car gas fumes are hard to avoid and I live near farming fields that spray. Ugh... As a child we were always playing in the woods and fields. Great memories!
Lavender Tea is also my Favorite and sometimes i mix it with chamomile
Before i go to sleep
Ohhh I never through to mix it with chamomile, that would be so relaxing!
Hello from Germany, I have got a little garden and live in a healthy country in a very little village with only 800 people. Every year I picked up so many herbs, flowers and flowers and dry them for tea. Levander is also my absolutely favourite. This year I mixed a jar with a little of all of my picked tea ingredients. What a flavour! Your channel is so peaceful, thank you!
Oh! We are kindred spirits ❤️

I do the same Magic with my Coffee. Daily I got about 10 cups of it but it's my recipe also:
Coffee
Black pepper
Red chilly (a bit)
Clove (or Ginger).
* no Milk, no Sugar
It's like a daily Habbit of Taste & a true Nature treatment.
I like your recipe while I'm not a Tea-man. Thank you for your video 👍.
Where I live there is goldenrod. I love that for tea. I always look forward to it growing in my garden, as I know come winter, I will be drinking it.
You’re making me crave tea now😊
You’re living my dream life 😭
Hi! As I'm sipping on my Lavender Tea, I came about your lovely TH-cam Channel. I have subscribed to it and looking forward to watching all of your videos and learning more about tea making. I'm also a Boriqua! Sending hugs!
l remember, as a boy, picking up plants for tea for long winters with my grandmother such as ; camomile, linden, st.John's wort... There was something special in this process. Now, older, l do the same, just to remember the taste and the scent of dried herbs.
I love your videos and I love making tea also. I usually use the dry herbs for the combinations I want, but seeing your videos has encouraged me to be using the fresh herbs that I see in the summer days. ❤
I don't know how much experience you have with video& editing but the quality of your videos is done well and the landscape is gorgeous. Congrats on the success of your channel in such a short time.
I have dandelions growing in my yard. I don't use chemicals and leave them for the bees until other flowers start to bloom. I've always wanted to try them as a tea but was too worried I'd do something wrong and poison myself. LOL I ordered the book on growing tea through your link. Thank you for reminding us that no matter where we live there is always something close by that nature has to offer. That is the journey I am traveling in my second half of life. I only hope I can share my experience with others on my channel with the same grace you do here on yours.
Your channel brings so much peace. 🌷
Borage flower tea also leaves taste like cucumber. That's one of my fave summer tea, also japanese emperor mint tea. Sending you love from New Zealand
Thank you for these videos, they calm me down when I’m feeling bad.
Beautiful and peaceful video. Your area is gorgeous . For crafting I make cards for various occasions but have never made my own paper. Interesting
I’m have insomnia. You’re like the video making version of Bob Ross. So much self reflection and wisdom in your humble life. Thank you. 😴
Nice. Great episode Cottage Fairy, you make everything look so easy and so lovely. My favourite tea to make is Lemon Verbena. Oh, and you mentioned Raspberry Leaf, I think (from memory which isn't always reliable...) this tea should come with a warning for expectant mothers. I think they have to avoid it as it might bring on labour! Stay well and please keep making these delightful videos. Cheers, Kitty.
Encounters with the Good People oh thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed it, and I absolutely love lemon verbena! And thank you so much for the feedback, I had actually not heard of the risk of raspberry tea, I appreciate it! I will add a note in my video description this minute - Thank you, best wishes
You have a new subscriber. I am learning about plants 2 years ago. And this year I started harvesting my herbs for tea. I love your video, Is so calming and inspiring.
How delightful! Tea is my passion.
You are an inspiration for everyone

I love tea, my favorites are lemon herb and vanilla chamomile tea. There are so many different tea flavors out in the mountains to explore. Thank you for this wonderful video.
