You can decorate for fall (without buying fake pumpkins from Target... unless you like those... then totally do it) ;) 'm excited to welcome you into the cottage this season!

I just discovered your You Tube channel today as I was on my lunch break in Katy, Texas. I thought you lived in France - your home, your garden, your life style reminded me of a European farm family. Then I discovered you live in Washington state. For a few minutes, you took me away from work, from the political intrigue, from the everyday doldrums. I live in a city and I only have flowerbeds in my yard. You made me want to do stuff outside that I had not thought of in years. Your rustic home was inspirational for me. My son moved his family to the farm in North East Texas that he inherited from my parents. They also enjoy a more simple life too. His wife home schools my grand daughter and they have a small garden. One day, when he finds a job in that part of the country that pays as well as the one he has in North Austin, they will be able to do the real farm life. He commutes twice a month to the farm. Anyway, I loved the beautiful wreath you made. I have a garage full of wreath-making supplies and materials - I just get so drained from the intense heat here for most of the year, they have stayed in the garage. Perhaps I will make an effort to do something this fall. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty of our earth. Kathy Collier

Such a pretty home❤️❤️we homeschooled our 6 children in the 80’s and 90’s...it was a blessing to have the children there, and make sure what they’re taught is good for their minds👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻...you’re a beautiful family...blessings❤️🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇

Whenever I watch your videos and admire your home, I find myself thinking "What a beautiful old soul". And it is so refreshing to see someone else in internet land staying true to nature and creativity. And it so nice to see someone else who does not have a 100% white sterile/generic home(white walls, white furniture, white cabinets, all white linens and throws....the "modern farmhouse shabby chic"). Life is colorful and beautiful and sometimes imperfect and I feel like you have captured that to the full in your home! I just love this channel!

How can your house be so peaceful and quiet with smaller children, where are they when you are doing all of this decorating and baking? Love all that you are doing to welcome each season, very welcoming and cozy.

The wreath is truly beautiful, it was amazing watching put it all together.

It’s true .... “ Home is where the heart is”.... and your cottage is sooo sooo warm and inviting and exudes calmness. It’s genuinely stunning- it’s like a old timey portrait .

Had to stop what I was doing to watch. I’m never disappointed. You always deliver inspiring ideas, motivation and relaxation as well. Thanks for the break. Time for me to get back to what I was doing. 😃

Totally love your dialogue and it is so true. Your use of the naturals we have around us is so lovely and the wreath turned out so beautifully. I love those nature times when it gives to us even tho it spent.............. it's life was for that very reason "to give", yet it even is giving back after it is spent and done it's given purpose.............much like life of our weeks and our years........and our giving back after we are spent, is our children and their children..........how beautiful and what more can we ask! We are blessed!

“If we can change the atmosphere of our home than we can change the attitude of our home and that is a beautiful thing.”♥️ Love this quote!

Love the wreath and it's placement. Love knowing now to use an old hotplate for glue. So much easier than using a gluegun for everything.

I'm in a drafty old house also and have contemplated a wood burning stove. I dread this time of year, but I happen to love old homes. By watching your video, I feel encouraged to love it in the winter also. Love the grapevine wreath!

I just love the authenticity of your home. Nowadays, Farmhouse decor is manufactured and mass produced in China. Not to say that it is not a nice look, but your home is an authentic farmhouse. Your decor is the type of Farmhouse I love. I live on a farm - the farm I grew up on. Now that it is my own, I’ve appreciating all the work my parents put into making this the home it is now. I just love your channel!

Beautiful home and life! I love the wreath! I remember when I was a little girl, my mother would send us out a day or two before Thanksgiving to collect beautiful fall leaves, acorns and pine cones from the hill behind our house. ( In Texas the autumn colors are usually best in late November.) We would decorate the mantle with them, so pretty! I always looked forward to that tradition in anticipation of the warmth and beauty of Thanksgiving day.

I don’t call it bribery. I call it “positive reinforcement”. 😂😂

Beautiful wreath, I love how you narrate your vloggs together xx

Although watching this almost a year later, it is just as relevant. A beautiful video that inspires to have a go at making an autumn wreath. Best wishes from England. Lottie

What a beautiful wreath, beautiful home, and a beautiful family!

gorgeous hand made all natural wreath.....and it was free !!!! love love

I am a retired floral designer and owned my own shop but nothing beats making arrangements from my own garden, it makes me so happy. I am getting ready to do my daughters wedding flowers in March. I can’t wait. I love your Facebook/KZfaq. It brings many smiles to my face.

I decorate my table with the same brass candle holders and white with blue flowers on my tablecloths. I smiled. We have some things alike. I love the warmth of fall and espically cold winter winds and snow. My favorite is when the first flowers and plants pop through. Right before spring. And the smells of spring. Seasons touch my heart in so many ways. Brings life. Enjoy your time right now. That was my favirite time of life. Now my children are all grown up. No more homeschooling and sounds of children. To much silent... GOD BLESS YOU LOVE from MICHIGAN. SHALOM🌹🌷🍄🔯🀄🀄🔯🌹🌷🍄🐄🐄🐦👍🌴🌴

Oh, my! I fell in love with your house, farm, family and style!! My first job was in a florist and my mom and aunt both worked for many years in the same florist, so I loved watching you create beauty with lovely, natural items and your hands. I subscribed immediately, and I was reminded so much of Parisienne Farmgirl’s channel while watching you.

God has made and given us all this beauty.

Thank you for putting into words your philosophy on making your home truly special. I have done much of the same over the years. I am no longer young and family is all grown up, but nothing makes me happier than fussing with the little things that make my house a warm place that people like to be. I’m glad I just found this channel.

I love your line “you don’t have to run to target to buy seasonal decor”. Our materialist, market driven culture is going the complete opposite direction of you and your beautiful family. I’m so happy to find someone who thinks like I do and decorates with the same intentions as me! Your wreath is truly a thing of beauty, and I’m inspired to get outside and make one of my own!! Love your content! Thank you for all you do. ❤️😊

20 years for me working as a floral designer then I had my daughter and took a brake on working you never ever lose the creative side of designing

This gave me the MOST nostalgic feeling. I would do this with my mom too and it’s one of the most comforting things I’ve ever inherited.

If only every household had your kind of conversation at the end of a day... reflective thoughts on life, children, nature, bounty, hard work and gratitude...

Your wreath is so lovely. What a creative soul you are. I bet your eldest daughter will be as artistic as you are when she's an adult.

Wow you are so creative, and you have a classy taste, I Love your home.

Oh, I was looking forward to seeing your blonde hair. Oh well, maybe the next video. The barns new color and the wreath are beautiful.

I hear you about the need for cleanliness... I've had some nesting inclinations too of late!!

What a good example of a hardworking, supportive and loving family. God Bless!

The wreath is Beautiful, and love the color on the barn, hope you finished it. Have a Great Day

What a lovely wreath you created! And you looked especially lovely with your hair pulled back like that. Well done!

Beautiful!! Living the dream!

Loved your video....I love to do things like you do....I do less and less these days....I am 85 years old. I was born and raise on in farm in Brazil. I you have great gift to make a house a home.

This video made my day. You two talk so nicely to one another, your voices so soothing... i hope you write a book about growing and using flowers as a homemaker or something like that... ❤️

God gave us 4 seasons to embrace each one with grateful hearts and you absolutely do that ❤️ I want you to know that I loved this video....you reminded me to see what I already have and be creative with how I use my things to embellish our home for this new season here in Colorado....THANK YOU ❤️ Patty sending your family blessings from Colorado 🙏❤️🙏

A beautiful video, I appreciate that you showed life as it is and not the perfect rendition of it. Honesty is so important with social media as so many people struggle with trying to attain perfection. Life is not perfect, we do the best we can, we learn from others and we move forward. In sharing that you used to be a florist, it just took away the thought of why doesn't my wreath making effort look like that. Well you learn a thing or two as a pro we all know that. Your home looks lovely, comfy, nourishing for your family, creative, well worn and well as we say in Scotland "couthie". I've only just returned to the mountains of Canada in BC to be near my first grand baby, I was here to see her born and I want to share with her all the time I now have that I couldn't do with my own kids. I am living in a very old house too and it has drafts and creaks and beautiful time worn elements. Yes the wood takes up a fair bit of my day but when the fire is lit and the room glows with light and warmth, it's all worth it. Your life has a beautiful gentleness to it, a calm energy that will nourish your children and give them those same beautiful memories as your mother did. If you have time to read them, there are two books you may enjoy. House as mirror of self, and The Emotional Home. I'm going to enjoy watching your videos, just for the gentleness of them and the beauty, I'm off to the woods today armed with my small saw and carrying bag to glean for things to do my urns outside and a large wreath too. Your wreath is lovely and what a beautiful seasonal reminder it will be as you go through winter. It will be my first winter here in this snowy mountain place and while I'm a wee bit worried, I know if I find daily ways to seek peace through creativity I'll be ok. Thank you for this beautiful reminder of how lovely daily life can be.

You have motivated me to embrace fall and prepare my home, rather than mourning the passing of summer... That wreath was spectacular. Amazing job!! My creative outlet is usually knitting. I just love creating useful beautiful items, especially from natural fiber.

The simplicity of the beauty of nature within your home and your yard is absolutely captivating. And your creativity with just the grapevines and the dried flowers bring a more realistic farmhouse look to your house Anemore coziness to your home and yes more people need to look around their yards and bring in the beauty of the bounty of the summertime and then the fall when everything starts to dry and bring those things in and appreciate that season where the things that flourished in the summertime have dried and are showing their beauty and we should appreciate that beauty, thank you so much for the coziness of this video and the peacefulness that you brought to people as a They viewed it

Gorgeous wreath! Here in California, we are not allowed to go out and pick wildflowers, we can get fined at least. My mom when we grew up in Indiana, always gathered things to make a cornucopia for a fall festival our school had, and she always won.

I, like you, annually delude myself as to what and how much I'm going to get finished before the weather turns.

BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE TRANSITION FOR THE SEASONS! YOU TOOK SUMMER'S BEAUTY INTO FALL BEAUTY! FRESHING IS A GREAT WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING. MAKES BEAUTY ALL THE WAY AROUND!

What a beautiful video. Thank you so much.

So, so inspiring! Thank you

I LOVE this video Shaye--well, I truly love all your videos! Your home is uniquely beautiful created totally by your hardwork and creative sense and the things you create will last for always. Whereas shopping at Target and buying what everyone else is buying lasts only for a season and lacks all qualities of uniqueness. I love your wreath--pure natural breathtaking beauty. Thanks for sharing fall on the farm.

A beautiful way to capture the season and pour a piece of your heart. As a very creative person myself, I love being inspired by other’s creativity! And yours is lovely. Thank you!

So beautiful!! Love your style. What you said about gathering what nature has to offer instead of running to target is exactly what I needed (and my husband probably wanted) me to hear! ❤️😂

Peaceful video and the wreath was very pretty, and inside the cottage would make anyone fill welcome.

growing up, i helped my mom pull grape vines and make wreaths - she would soak the vines before wrapping them - just a tip, they wrap nicely once soaked, like into hearts and stuff. Baskets are my goal - so enjoyed seeing how you view the beauty in nature, glad to not be the only one - blessings to you and your family. thx for sharing.

I want to thank you guys SOOOO much for inspiring me with my Grape vines!! I had to prune mine back to 80% when I moved into my rental because they were neglected. This year my harvest was amazing but I never knew what to do with my vines. I made the kids a hanging seat but now....I'm off to make a wreath! 😍

I put pumpkins on our porch and put an orange and brown plaid scarf under a fall centerpiece of dried flowers on the dinning room table. Some years I have mums on the porch and in the yard.

You brought a memory of a Dear Friend. Thanks

Lovely storytelling on a cold November day here in the UK while sitting here watching your video with my afternoon coffee. Thank you

I started creating a old fashioned Wattle around my fruit trees and bushes that were just planted.,I am so proud to incorporate the look into my gardens food forest. Pat

Wow! Amazing what you did with the dried flowers!

Your channel is unlike any other I have ever watched that is farm related. I have been binge watching every single video you'd made and I just love how you create. I have learned so much from you and you give me such motivation to be a better homesteader, mother, wife, and its a beautiful thing. I appreciate your channel very much and love to see your family!!

I’m fairly new to your channel, I’m 53 and in my 5th and FINAL home... Our homestead, problem is after years of struggles with a lot of personal issues, and renovating homes and so on I find I’m burnt out 😢 I would get caught up in all the you tubers ( try to keep up) and generally I’m pretty much doing things on my own, so I would get frustrated and overwhelmed, not only with the work but trying to find my style. I’ve always loved old/farm old ways but always felt that wasn’t good enough. I would like to THANK YOU for helping me to ground myself and realize that a home is truly what we want it to be, NO it’s not for other people, yes it can be unmatching! And real and well now I’m rambling, I’m sorry I just wanted to say a big thank you!!! Keep doing what you’re doing❤️

Hey Sha , you really hit home tonight! The way you hold your head when you fiddle with the Fern's. Making sure the throw pillows was just right for the next chair sitter. All brought my Mum into my living room . Preparing a center piece for the table and making something unique to hang on the door! Thanks😊 Jo Jo in VT 💕 😊🎃

I love the cozy romance of autumn 🍂❤️ - Heading into Summer here in NZ and I have to say I am a little sad about that, but every season gets its turn and that's what keeps it interesting!

Your voices are so beautifully soothing (both yours and your hubby Stu’) ❤️ What a blessing to see your warm and welcoming home....your family is truly blessed ❤️ Oh my.....and you home school too.....your absolutely amazing ❤️ Patty sending you blessings from Colorado 🙏❤️🙏

I love watching your videos. The wreath is beautiful!

And I LOVE the mantle And the memories of your mom, Fridays off, and house fluffing!!!

Love the wreath!

I love the extra touches you give your home that says I love you family in many decorative ways beyond kisses and hugs, it's much deeper see the display I give you.

I just want to let you know that I enjoyed your video very much. It is starting to look like a house. Stay happy and healthy.

Gorgeous wreath. I feel like I'm watching the old Victoria Magazine come to life when I watch your channel. I need to try to make those croissants. They looked amazing.

So lovely!

thnk u so much for sharing your talents with us. What a lovely, all seasonal wreath. you are so talented I bless you.

every layer adds color/texture :D

I've been following homesteading channels for a couple years now and I don't know how I'm just coming across your channel now... I love what you guys are doing, I love the cottage, I love the lessons you espouse, and the editing on your videos is top notch. Consider it a subscribe!

What a thing of beauty and class! ❤️❤️❤️There’s nothing that relaxes and gives me more joy than cleaning my home and folding laundry. I never got it from mom. Lol boarding school did it! 😂😂

Always so beautifully filmed. Brings peace and a smile to my face with each video. Your wreath is gorgeous. thanks for sharing and bringing joy.

HYGGE: Embracing Winter! Thanks Shaye and Stu! 🍂🍂

Love your videos and your narrations are wonderful. Thank you!

You have got such alot of talent as an interior decorator. Loved your wreath. Love your house.Just by watching it, I feel the cosy atmosphere. Felicity Jacobs, Cape Town, South Africa

I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful video!! It was so calming and inspiring! Thank you for sharing with us!

I love seeing Martin Luther and Calvin and Zwingl(?can't see it that well) papers hanging on the wall...

I use my evergreens, berries and pinecones to fill my big out door pots and make wreaths long straight sticks then spray light paint on them to look like snow. It’s rare if we get snow here. I bought a dehydrater the beginning of spring , using it today I have oranges, apples and cranberries in it. Tomorrow I will string them with popcorn for my mantel . And clip them around my home. Merry Christmas

For such a long time, I have looked for a video to see how a wreath is made from completely nothing. I accidentally stumbled across this video while watching your other videos. Your wreath looks stunning! I love all of your videos. You have wonderful content, and each one is crafted beautifully.

You gave me some inspiration to make a wreath for my home, thank you , you did a fantastic job, it’s beautiful,

so inspiring! thank you!

Omg! i do the same with the flowers I just look around what i have in my garden,and see beauty in flower that maybe other People can't see.We just need to open our eyes and look around.Be creativ and open,such a shame we cant meet and create something together.Gratings from Poland♡

So inspiring your daily life on the farm is! I like how you both narrate the story of your life it’s like when I used to read the Dear America stories of childhood reading from the first persons voice was magical and comforting and I find that on your creative videos. The college English courses have ingrained in us to lose that first person voice to become objective but there is something about the imagery that a first person narrative has that cannot be matched with the somewhat impersonal objective writing, speaking and hearing from a first hand experience and insight, so all that to say thank you! Also the wreath came out beautiful! I love your imperfect home that is in its own way a breath taking home. It encourages me to get ready for the winter. Our summers are longer here in south Texas but when the cold fronts hit you remember all the chores you meant to get done! :) Happy Fall Y’all 🥰

Gorgeous wreath!

Such a pleasure to see you decorating your home or cooking for your family 😍 This video is really beautiful...Love from France. Amandine

Wow! I used to do floristry too. Not for as long as you. I've been a gardener for much longer but am studying as a horticulturalist now. I love it. 😊

All is so lovely!

You speak my language! I also love to have a cozy home for my family...even though we are all older now....love to change decor out with the seasons as well....and I am a pretty tidy person too....with the same thoughts on keeping a clean and tidy home/attitude...."C" has thrown me for a loop though...and I didn't really have any heart in for decorating for summer...but I am hoping with Fall,....to get back into the swing of my quilting, crosstitching, baking, decorating....love the natural decor you use with items from your yard/landscape/garden! Would love fall and winter/Christmas decor videos for decorating with natural items!

Beautiful hand craft that what nature brings full of life 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💗

Beautiful!

I love this vlog, with the wisdom of Mothers to create "home" that gets into our very beings. The sense of security & comfort, sheltered by Mom's dedication to her purpose & cornerstone of our individual families. Thank you, Shaye, for sharing these thoughts & memories of your Mother on Fridays at home. The decorations are really beautiful. What fun watching you create them out of Eli's trimming the grapevines with dried memories of summer's abundance!

So Pretty, loved the Wreath. What a lovely gift you have, and such a beautiful family. I can tell your Stu appreciates you very much. Looking forward to the next video. Blessings Elliott's!

What a beautiful wreath! Time to get my house in order,thanks for the motivation 💞

Decorating, cultivating the beautiful space is like “romancing the ordinary”.

Lovely.

Everything is looking amazing ! thank you so much for sharing. Very inspirational!

I love watching your videos. Love the wreath! Definatly going to keep my mind thinking next year towards bringing outdoors inside.. Thanks for sharing.
