In today’s cosy cottage vlog, I’m mixing a little bit of everything I love, home decor, slow moments, and time in the garden. I start the day with a trip to HomeSense, on the hunt for some Nancy Meyers-inspired pieces for the bathroom. There’s something about that warm, timeless style that I’m really drawn to at the moment, and I share the pieces that caught my eye. Afterwards, I take a peaceful walk around a local walled cottage garden ( Shackleton Gardens ) the perfect reset and a lovely bit of inspiration before heading back home. Back at the cottage, I show you what I picked up for the bathroom before heading out into my own garden. There are still a few gaps in the borders, so I spend some time planting late-flowering summer perennials to help fill things out and bring a bit more colour into the space. It’s one of those slower, seasonal days, balancing home projects with time in the garden. If you enjoy cosy vlogs, cottage interiors, HomeSense finds, and cottage garden inspiration, I hope you enjoy this one.

The walled garden with the bird song fabulous 😊
Love those lamp sconces for the bathroom. Can’t wait for the final reveal.
It’s so fun to see what you plant- I live in western WA State USA and our climate is very similar to yours, so if I see plants that you have but I’ve never seen here, I take note so I can find them and plant here, as I assume they’d do just fine in this climate as well ❤
This was such a relaxing video, just what I needed. The walled garden is beautiful and so peaceful, so lovely to hear the birds chirping. Isn’t nature wonderful! Love the wall sconces, the bathrooms going to be lovely you’ve got such good taste ❤
Thanks so much Catherine, today was my late dad,s birthday so been a difficult day. This was just what I needed. A peaceful walk round the beautiful gardens and listening to the birdsong. The perfect tonic. ❤❤❤🎉🎉

Oh, the walk around Shackleton gardens was so lovely and relaxing. What beautiful planting too. Definitely gave me some inspiration for my own (somewhat smaller) garden. 🥰
Thank you for another relaxing video ❤
Those wall sconces are very posh! Such a good idea having the batteries ❤ love them!
I’m watching this with my cat and she’s really enjoying the bird sounds – thank you for thinking of her!
I’m from Australia, and our native birds are very loud and squawky, so it is so lovely hearing soft Irish birdsong❤️

Oh my goodness. The walk through the garden was breathtaking. Thank you so much. It is Mother's Day in the States. I can't think of a more positive way to spend the afternoon. After I did a few new planting in my garden. I recently downloaded a bird ID app. It's free here and I love it. Have a wonderful week.
