Winter Greetings! Will you join our cozy winter bucket list and invite a friend? ❄️ P.S. This is the first of 4 advent videos we'll be putting out every Sunday leading up until Christmas🕯️
As always, a lovely video with two of my most favorite people on social media. It's a beautiful reminder for mindful living and I'm enjoying watching with a cup of chai and a gingerbread cookie. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
A lovely video with great ideas. Decorating, reading, crafting and watching movies are my favorite. As far as giving, I used to be a school nurse and just retired last year. I organized giving gifts to the needier familes in our school and would fill a basket for each family with food for a Christmas dinner. My husband always asks us to buy something for a child, donate it, take a picture of it and give him the picture in a small box for him to open. My daughter will pay off one or two layaways for families each year anonymously. We have been very blessed.
My Mother was Austrian, so I grew up with Jause, like your Fika ❤️ We usually had tea, coffee and home baked goodies, sometimes from a bakery. Mom made apple or poppyseed strudel, gugelhupf, pies and cookies. This is a lovely tradition and it warms my heart to remember our jausen with Mom. All great suggestions for a bucket list. I enjoy your videos, thank you so much ❤️
Fall and winter are my favorite time. The signal a change to be viewed in a positive way, to move forward and enjoy the experience and seek the good, not the bad. This will reap peace of mind. This is something that can not be found anywhere but in our hearts, the simplest things are at our fingertips. Inside us.
If you can taste it, you can bake it…great advice😂. I turned 70 this year and I find it’s important to challenge myself. I’m teaching myself to make hands stitched button holes. I volunteer at a food pantry and love helping others.
I reread Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol every year, Dickens' books are great to read in winter. I like to watch Little Women, any version will do, the old one with Elizabeth Taylor and the 90s one with Winona Ryder are my favorites though. My daughter was a preemie born 10 days before Christmas nearly 7 years ago. So to give, I like to take my fabric scraps and make little quilts for the babies in the NICU. Happy cozy winter to you, Lindsay and Jonas!❄☃️🦌🎄🌟
@@itsacharminglife the doctors and nurses were so kind to us at such a scary time. They even had a Santa come in and hold the babies and take photos. I feel like it's the least I can do. Bless you both too💖
@@elizabethp4064 yes! It is so nice to know others read the same old books that I enjoy. I love Jane Eyre as well. It is also a long cozy reading in winter too. Happy Holidays Elizabeth!🌨🌲❄
Tea Spectral has become our absolute favorite! Chin Chin is so delicious. Well, all their teas are delicious. Thank you so much for bringing this company to our attention. They are lovely people!
I love your philosophy on enjoying the simple pleasures of life that not only enrich your life but someone else’s. I often write letters, even to neighbors on my street because it’s so nice to receive a handwritten note among bills. And I feed the wild animals year round because I’m an animal rescuer who loves animals beyond belief.
A wonderful list that all can enjoy! When I learned about Hygge about four years ago it really changed my experience with winter! Now I look forward to the art of wintering!!! Thank you for bringing beauty and gentleness into a world in need of your lovely spirits!
My husband just bought me the whole Road to Avonlea series for Christmas! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite CZcams "show". It is so sweet and wholesome. Jonas, you have such a surprisingly cute sense of humor. 😁 ~ Heather ~
I love all the things to do on your list. Winter walks are magical plus I love the sounds that you don’t get to hear any other times. The crunching of the snow under my boots & when the snow falls. Afterwards some Fika near a fire or watching a show or movie is the best. I think a new one for me is to try to make homemade ornaments & maybe some edible ones for the animals too.🤍
Since I’m new here it’s a treat to watch the old video’s which are timeless anyway. January is my month. I self care-read-write cards-craft -forage and dream. Pumpkin pie and cookies are next as I was sick across Christmas. Never too late to get cozy and festive 🪵🐾🍄🌙
I just love your cozy cottage bucket list, I have done the decorating, will soon do some holiday baking and I have started to do hot teas with honey and home made soups. I agree self care.
What a treat to find this on a cold and dreary pre-winter afternoon, because your videos always warm my heart and lift my spirits. May you have a holiday season filled with peace, joy, and love.
I’m a new subscriber and I had to pause the video to comment on how absolutely entrancing and relaxing this is, and how wholesome it is that you two are celebrating the season together in this way, incorporating cultures and nature and coziness ✨🍪🎄 these are amazing ideas to romanticize the winter season, I’m so glad I found this channel! Now back to watching 🥰
Here in Cape Town Christmas is quite warm, but I would be very charmed to experience a magical snowy Christmas. I really love these self care tips as I'm exhausted and need to just slow down and rest. Thanks you for your wonderful videos, you're both so wholesome and soothing. Take care.
Beautiful video ❤ I always love your content. The cottage looks like a Christmas card, or dreams of Christmas' past. You have both done a splendid job.I hope you guys have a lovely, warm and cozy holiday season.
Aww that's so kind, as you can probably tell we have am obsession with postcards (especially vintage ones) and sometimes we really do feel like we're living in a Christmas card ❄️
Winter was my 2nd least favorite season but now I've learned to enjoy it in many more new ways thanks to the bucket list which I do lots of those things
Wish you guys could put together a little cookbook of your baking favorites! BTW Road to Avonlea series is our absolute favorite and my husband and I always enjoy watching a couple episodes every night. ❤️
I've been catching up on videos that I haven't watched and they comfort me when I'm feeling anxious. I haven't made or followed a bucket List yet, but I'm working on the getting out and getting fresh air with my son. It's so hard being a stay at home mom with social anxiety, I just want to be a shut in some times, but I know I have to be better for myself and my sin. Today we are going to feed the ducks.
What a great Cozy Cottage Winter Bucket List. I have never thought of doing a bucket list but after your video, which I totally loved, I want to do one. I do love the Self Care one, I live in California and it get very hectic and we sometimes forget about our own health. Reading a book, also something I have struggled with but something I would love to start and finish. I really want to sit and relax and truly think about this bucket list. Thank you for bringing this to mind.
So glad you liked the list! I'm from California originally and I understand how life doesn't slow down there as much in the winter as in other places so you have to be more conscious for slowing down during the holidays! ❄️
This was so calming I could watch it over and over. This time of year I like to make cinnamon ornaments to hang on the tree. It's so easy - cinnamon, cloves and ginger mixed in with hot applesauce, roll it out and use your favorite cookie cutters. Let dry for a couple of days remembering to flip them every so often so they don't curl up. The whole house smells incredible and the ornaments last for years!
So nice of you both to take time to address this important issue of what the Winter can do to people. We are away from family and love staying inside too, if I can as do not like it too cold and we are in our early 70's and do not feel so wonderful. Love our cozy home too. You are so right with your list of what can be done. I am a big reader. TY! * very important issue you are addressing for people*
Thank you Carol, that is nice to hear you enjoyed the list! Hope you are having a good winter so far. Hope you have a tall stack of good books :) Merry Christmas when the day arrive!
Your cottage is so beautiful! So pretty. I love to watch" It's a Wonderful Life" for Christmas and "A Christmas Carol". Also love to make Christmas decorations and make Christmas treats- cookies, cakes. Your life at the cottage is so peaceful and l decorate for Christmas and make Christmas floral arrangements!!
Just found you! ( and subscribed) . My way of giving back is to make homemade items. Felted landscape art, canning Christmas Jam, tomte ornaments, canned soups for long winter nights, herbal teas from my garden. These gifts I share with friends, family and older clients ( I'm a massage therapist) who may not have someone near by and appreciate a cup of tea and homemade scones with Christmas Jam. ♥️
I am here and listening! This is the first time I have decided to embrace winter, Thanks to you guys, im usually miserable this time of year but decided im going to make the best of it. Chicago weather can be tough in the winter but you guys are seriously helping me get through it!
Awww we're so glad our list can help! since Jonas is from Sweden so he's really taught me how to not only handle but enjoy the winter (since I'm from CA!) We hope you have a very cozy winter time ❄️
@@itsacharminglife that's so awesome that he has showed you different ways to embrace the winter. I've binge watched a lot of your videos so I bought a book on fikka and a book on hygge. You all have got me ready to face the winter in a different manner!!! I'm 100% Greek but I'm totally going to incorporate some of the things he was saying into our home life that are native to where he is from! Keep rocking on! You guys are awesome!!
Okay, I've never ever heard anyone else say that they like Road to Avonlea!!! I grew up on that show and absolutely and LOVE it! And now I live on PEI! haha :D Happy Winter you two, cheers!
@@itsacharminglife We had lived here previously when my husband was in culinary school, then moved back West, but just HAD to move back. There is no place like it!
This was lovely - thank you so much for sharing. I have just discovered seasonal reading and like the idea of reading a book during the season I am currently experiencing. I also heard about watching lots of winter/festive films on the lead-up to Christmas - yet to try this. Best wishes from Lottie in England
I just came across your channel. It is so sweet and cozy! ❤ My brother just gave me a Kitchenaid stand mixer because a few weeks ago I saw a video about Swedish kardamummabullar. I am a wonderful cook but not a baker but I want to make these so badly I am going to learn!!! Then I will have my own fika!! You two are a darling couple!
Welcome to Charming Life, Laura! Mmm, we love Swedish cinnamon (or cardamom) buns and even have a recipe on our blog. What a wonderful gift right before winter. Many cozy fika times await you!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea living in Miami we don't necessarily have a winter but I volunteer for the Christmas season every year at the Deering Estate it's a home that was built in the 1800's and I get to dress up in costume and learn about the history of the home and the area at that time the state is decorated absolutely beautifully and we have evening strolls this year we are dressing in Regency fashion
.....Can we just say how AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL Jonas ' Artwork is ...??!! I am just enthralled with his Artwork, it has an Ethereal quality that draws you in, you want to take in the detail and study it.( Being a Creative Soul, I have a great appreciation of his work. I do draw, etc , my favourite medium is charcoal. ) I definitely am interested in the postcards, Bambi print, and the tea. Yes, Shopping Small is something that was basically " the normal. ", it's what sustained so many people and Communities. Your Bucket List incorporates things that are quite " do- able " and I would add two more .. : A indoor " picnic " with Cosy Food and a Fire in the Fireplace, in one Lounge ( living room) . No Fireplace? Use candles set on surfaces and where you are dining. , to create that mood. And,, the next thing to add is to watch Lindsay and Jonas ! I adore your Channel, and love how you include the wildlife, the birds, and such gorgeous scenery in your Posts. May your Winter hold lovely memories, sweet surprises and the things that are important to you both. Cheers and Blessings~ S.
Great list! My hubby is now joining me in watching your videos. He's a hygge lover also. Since you like Road to Avonlea, I think you would also like Lark Rise to Candleford. Wonderful series! Thanks for all the cozy videos! Y'all are such a blessing!
So charming! Your bucket list is delightful. I enjoy all of those things. We are slowly putting up decorations. It is fun to pull out our box of Christmas books each year, and read favorite stories, especially ones we read to our boys, and now read to our grandchildren. I also use a diffuser with oils, that bring some of those lovely scents, as well as healthful benefits. We watch PBS online, and I was excited to see a nice winter line up with All creatures great and small, Little Women, and Around the World in 80 days. Each episode airs free online for a week or 2 , so it is easy to watch as they are shown, as long as you have intetnet.
Such a perfect list! I decorated and watched the first holiday movie of the year (Christmas Vacation, I watch it and Christmas Story every year) over the weekend. Looking forward to making/crafting Christmas gifts this year, I usually do handmade soaps and one of the soaps I have planned this time has an Earl Grey-inspired fragrance!
Always wonderful to visit with you. I have managed a few from the list. Fika time of course, holiday movies, walks and giving back in the form of donations to local thrift stores ...I donated a lot of my wardrobe, some home decor and most recently nearly all my Christmas decorations as I downsized our tree and then Impy knocked it down so for now only a small spot on the kitchen counter is decorated but that too also counts on your list. Not up to doing cards at least right now. We will see. Anywho my dear charming friends always nice to see you.Much love to you both.
@@itsacharminglife Haven't had the heart to put the tree up since Impy knocked it down 😕 Kind of took the steam out of my holiday sails. Not sure it will go back up.
I just ❤️ your heart warming and calming videos so I definitely am going to try some things on ur wintertime bucket list to help keep my stress level down…thank you for your inspiration to do so😊🙏
I have been busy making gnomes for my Christmas gifts. I currently have in my gnome home made up to 36 of these little guys out of the thrifted items needed for such a big undertaking. Merry Christmas 🎄🦌❤❄🎄🦌❤❄
Blessings to you all and happy holidays. All the things on your bucket list for winter are things we try to do. We also have a large wood burning stove that just about heats the whole house and it's so warming and lovely to see the fire burning through the glass door.
@@itsacharminglife It's a lot of work but it's the cheapest way to heat and very warm. Also creates a mess carrying wood in, disposing of ash from the stove.
You guys, I wasn't feeling it this yr, decided not to do much decorating at all. I kept 5 kittens last yr, they're still a curious bunch this yr. I thought about just dressing up the mantle, china cabinet and pie safe, after watching this, I'm back in the mood. THANKS 😊🎄
Oooh!!! All the charming, cozy feelings! I love your winter bucket list, Lindsay and Jonas! Thank you for sharing! Happy Cozy Holidays to you both!🎄✨☃️
I’m looking forward to making the saffron buns again this winter! They are one of my favorite from when I first found your channel during the beginning of the pandemic. I always have favorite vintage movies and books for this time of year, starting with Miracle on 42nd Street that I watch on Thanksgiving day and Little women(book & movies), Jane Eyre(book & movies), Emma which follows the seasons, It’s a wonderful life, white Christmas. Etc… I also love to get out the Christmas vinyl records from my vintage record collection to listen to! They were playing as I decorated my house and Christmas trees. I hope you plan a live Fika time event this winter!!! I’ll bring the saffron buns! 🥰
Aww having Christmas records playing while decorating sounds so cozy! We love that the saffron buns are becoming apart of your winter traditions ❄️ we hoping to do a Christmas or new years live stream, it's been so long since we got to chat with the fika friends! 💙
Wonderful vlog you both have such a delightful way of decorating for holidays or changing seasons through out the year. I have yet to start decorating but will start this week. My great granddaughter reminded me yesterday that Thanksgiving is over and I still have fall decorations LOL I promised as soon as it was the first I will put them away 💖
Love all your videos and your cute little cottage. Sorry I missed getting the Chin Chin tea tin. I have the other one and just love it. Have you considered making matching mugs/ cups, I'm sure they would be a hit.
I stumbled upon this youtube and I absolutely ❤️ love it. So heartwarming 💖 💕 💓 and cozy. Reminded me of my childhood days with family. Thank you for sharing. I will be following you.

@@mountainpatriothomestead we love that you had a cozy fika time whilst watching the bucket list ✨
I find you guys so inspiring, thankyou for being you.🥰
P.S I indulge in Fika all the time, didn't realize it was a real thing. 🤭
I love how Jonas’ little quips, like “if you can smell it, you can bake it” make Lindsay laugh. Truly heartwarming.
He's so witty! 🥰
A lovely video with great ideas. Decorating, reading, crafting and watching movies are my favorite. As far as giving, I used to be a school nurse and just retired last year.

My daughter will pay off one or two layaways for families each year anonymously. We have been very blessed.
Thanks for sharing how you give back Gail, bless you and your family 🙏
You are an inspiring example of a loving couple. Thank you for sharing your life.
Aw thanks so much Lucia! ⭐
My Mother was Austrian, so I grew up with Jause, like your Fika ❤️ We usually had tea, coffee and home baked goodies, sometimes from a bakery. Mom made apple or poppyseed strudel, gugelhupf, pies and cookies. This is a lovely tradition and it warms my heart to remember our jausen with Mom. All great suggestions for a bucket list. I enjoy your videos, thank you so much ❤️
Oh you've got our mouths watering, those Austrian treats sound delightful! Thanks for sharing those precious memories ✨
They are as I’m sure Jonas’s baked treats are as well! Have you considered doing a cookbook? ~Sylvia
Fall and winter are my favorite time. The signal a change to be viewed in a positive way, to move forward and enjoy the experience and seek the good, not the bad. This will reap peace of mind. This is something that can not be found anywhere but in our hearts, the simplest things are at our fingertips. Inside us.
That's beautiful!
You are right Jonas, this list is how I try to live all year long.
The cozy Hygge life 💙✨
Such a good idea to suggest things to do all winter, not just for Christmas.
Thanks! We thought it'd be something to look forward to even after the holidays ✨
If you can taste it, you can bake it…great advice😂. I turned 70 this year and I find it’s important to challenge myself. I’m teaching myself to make hands stitched button holes. I volunteer at a food pantry and love helping others.
Wow thanks for sharing that, bless you for lending a hand! 🙏
Winter is in the air. Love the winter season.🌺
It certainly is, we got our first snow flakes this morning!✨
I reread Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol every year, Dickens' books are great to read in winter.

Aw thanks Whitney! 🎄
This made me so happy and excited for winter.
Aw thanks Gretchen! We're glad the video could bring some winter expectation❄️
I just received my beautiful tin with tea,,,what beautiful packaging, I will be ordering more! I love that it is so personal! Thankyou so much!
Awww, so glad you like the tea and that it feels cozy and personal, just as we hoped!
Oh what a cozy and hyggelig Video! Your cottage looks so beautiful in the snow… I hope there will be snow in my area as well this winter ☃️
Oh yes, you know hyggelig! ✨🕯️
This was lovely - thank you so much for sharing. I have just discovered seasonal reading and like the idea of reading a book during the season I am currently experiencing. I also heard about watching lots of winter/festive films on the lead-up to Christmas - yet to try this. Best wishes from Lottie in England
It's so cozy to read/watch something wintery in the winter ❄️
Y’all are the warmest couple that makes my heart just melt. Thank you for your inspiration ❤even though I’m a year behind ❤
Aww thank you 🥰❄️
I just came across your channel. It is so sweet and cozy! ❤ My brother just gave me a Kitchenaid stand mixer because a few weeks ago I saw a video about Swedish kardamummabullar. I am a wonderful cook but not a baker but I want to make these so badly I am going to learn!!! Then I will have my own fika!! You two are a darling couple!
Welcome to Charming Life, Laura! Mmm, we love Swedish cinnamon (or cardamom) buns and even have a recipe on our blog. What a wonderful gift right before winter. Many cozy fika times await you!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea living in Miami we don't necessarily have a winter but I volunteer for the Christmas season every year at the Deering Estate it's a home that was built in the 1800's and I get to dress up in costume and learn about the history of the home and the area at that time the state is decorated absolutely beautifully and we have evening strolls this year we are dressing in Regency fashion
That's so festive and fun to dress up and go back in time ✨
Awe, it was so nice to follow your bucket list....makes the christmas spirit coming soon 🧡🎄🧡🧡🧡
It's crazy that it's December tomorrow! ✨🎄
I love this charming video! Thanks!
Our pleasure ❄️
Love this ....life can take you in so many directions.....We need to ground ourselves
Couldn't agree more ✨
Love the bucket list.♥️❤️🌺
Thanks Linda!❄️✨
.....Can we just say how AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL Jonas ' Artwork is ...??!!
I am just enthralled with his Artwork, it has an Ethereal quality that draws you in, you want to take in the detail and study it.( Being a Creative Soul, I have a great appreciation of his work. I do draw, etc , my favourite medium is charcoal. ) I definitely am interested in the postcards, Bambi print, and the tea. Yes, Shopping Small is something that was basically " the normal. ", it's what sustained so many people and Communities.
Your Bucket List incorporates things that are quite " do- able " and I would add two more .. : A indoor " picnic " with Cosy Food and a Fire in the Fireplace, in one Lounge ( living room) . No Fireplace? Use candles set on surfaces and where you are dining. , to create that mood. And,, the next thing to add is to watch Lindsay and Jonas !
I adore your Channel, and love how you include the wildlife, the birds, and such gorgeous scenery in your Posts. May your Winter hold lovely memories, sweet surprises and the things that are important to you both.
Cheers and Blessings~ S.
Wow thanks for the lovely comment! An indoor fika picnic sounds like great cozy fun ✨
@@itsacharminglife .... Indeed, it is quite fun and cosy. ... You are so welcome, and I thank you for taking the time to reply ! 💙
Great list! My hubby is now joining me in watching your videos. He's a hygge lover also. Since you like Road to Avonlea, I think you would also like Lark Rise to Candleford. Wonderful series! Thanks for all the cozy videos! Y'all are such a blessing!
So fun you watch together! ✨ We've had that show on our watch list, thanks for the reminder! Could be perfect for this winter ✨
@@itsacharminglife Definitely! 👍
We go to the library and get DVDs. We are watching Doc Martin right now.
We love Doc Martin!
So charming! Your bucket list is delightful. I enjoy all of those things. We are slowly putting up decorations. It is fun to pull out our box of Christmas books each year, and read favorite stories, especially ones we read to our boys, and now read to our grandchildren. I also use a diffuser with oils, that bring some of those lovely scents, as well as healthful benefits. We watch PBS online, and I was excited to see a nice winter line up with All creatures great and small, Little Women, and Around the World in 80 days. Each episode airs free online for a week or 2 , so it is easy to watch as they are shown, as long as you have intetnet.
Thanks for sharing about your charming Christmas traditions ❄️ We loved All Creatures Great and Small and almost everything else on PBS Masterpiece ✨
Such a perfect list! I decorated and watched the first holiday movie of the year (Christmas Vacation, I watch it and Christmas Story every year) over the weekend. Looking forward to making/crafting Christmas gifts this year, I usually do handmade soaps and one of the soaps I have planned this time has an Earl Grey-inspired fragrance!
Oh your soaps sound like such lovely gifts! 🎁
Lovely.....you both make me smile.
Aww your comment makes us smile too!
I love your list very much. It shows us to slow down, not stress and enjoying winter and the holiday. Wishing you very Merry Christmas. 🎄
Aw that's precisely what we hoped, because we need the reminder too! ✨
You guys are so warming people and so kind 💖
Thanks Maria! So very sweet of you to say that! :)
I really enjoyed watching your upload!!
Keep up the excellent work!!
I'm looking forward to another awesome video!
Take care and stay in touch! 🌷🙏🌷🙏🌷
Thanks! ✨
Love this - I’m having a horrible day... this was very cozy and relaxing and much needed-as usual ❤️🙏🏼🎄❄️🦌
Aww hope your day gets better! ❄️💙✨
@@itsacharminglife 💚❤️ thank you 😊
It’s so lovely. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Gina! 🕯️❄️
Always wonderful to visit with you. I have managed a few from the list. Fika time of course, holiday movies, walks and giving back in the form of donations to local thrift stores ...I donated a lot of my wardrobe, some home decor and most recently nearly all my Christmas decorations as I downsized our tree and then Impy knocked it down so for now only a small spot on the kitchen counter is decorated but that too also counts on your list. Not up to doing cards at least right now. We will see. Anywho my dear charming friends always nice to see you.Much love to you both.
Awww Christmas with Impy and one little Christmas tree still sounds cozy 🎄😻
@@itsacharminglife Haven't had the heart to put the tree up since Impy knocked it down 😕 Kind of took the steam out of my holiday sails. Not sure it will go back up.
Just loved this! I love your bucket list I think I will do your list too!
We're so excited you'd like to participate! ❄️
I just ❤️ your heart warming and calming videos so I definitely am going to try some things on ur wintertime bucket list to help keep my stress level down…thank you for your inspiration to do so😊🙏
Aww we designed the list to help us with out stress too, so we hope it helps you too! ✨
I have been busy making gnomes for my Christmas gifts. I currently have in my gnome home made up to 36 of these little guys out of the thrifted items needed for such a big undertaking. Merry Christmas 🎄🦌❤❄🎄🦌❤❄
Oh wow that sounds lovely!
Thank you so much for this very charming video! It makes me feel all warm and cozy and happy watching it. 💗
Aww so glad you liked the cozy video ❄️
You are both so cute! I love the activities on the bucket list. “Slow down and enjoy life” is excellent advice!
The cozy simple life ✨❄️
Blessings to you all and happy holidays. All the things on your bucket list for winter are things we try to do. We also have a large wood burning stove that just about heats the whole house and it's so warming and lovely to see the fire burning through the glass door.
Oh we're a bit envious of your stove, how cozy! 🔥
@@itsacharminglife It's a lot of work but it's the cheapest way to heat and very warm. Also creates a mess carrying wood in, disposing of ash from the stove.
You guys, I wasn't feeling it this yr, decided not to do much decorating at all. I kept 5 kittens last yr, they're still a curious bunch this yr. I thought about just dressing up the mantle, china cabinet and pie safe, after watching this, I'm back in the mood. THANKS 😊🎄
Aww glad we could help you get into the mood 🎄 we can imagine it'd be a challenge with kitties 😻
@@itsacharminglife
Some are still into everything
Oooh!!! All the charming, cozy feelings! I love your winter bucket list, Lindsay and Jonas! Thank you for sharing! Happy Cozy Holidays to you both!🎄✨☃️
Thanks Tonia, so glad you liked the video! Happy Holidays! ❄️🎄
So lovely and cozy
Aw thanks ❄️
I’m looking forward to making the saffron buns again this winter! They are one of my favorite from when I first found your channel during the beginning of the pandemic. I always have favorite vintage movies and books for this time of year, starting with Miracle on 42nd Street that I watch on Thanksgiving day and Little women(book & movies), Jane Eyre(book & movies), Emma which follows the seasons, It’s a wonderful life, white Christmas. Etc… I also love to get out the Christmas vinyl records from my vintage record collection to listen to! They were playing as I decorated my house and Christmas trees. I hope you plan a live Fika time event this winter!!! I’ll bring the saffron buns! 🥰
Aww having Christmas records playing while decorating sounds so cozy! We love that the saffron buns are becoming apart of your winter traditions ❄️ we hoping to do a Christmas or new years live stream, it's been so long since we got to chat with the fika friends! 💙
@@itsacharminglife 🥰
Awww,This is soooo sweet
Look forward to your videos
So glad! 🎄
Happy 1st Advent. And a charming winter!❄🧸💛🍯💜🔮💜🧚♀️

I like the vibe of this video. Very inspiring and cosy, thanks for sharing ☺️ Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭I‘m Danish too by the way!
Thanks so much for watching!
You both are so much fun to watch! Have a wonderful, warm holiday! 🎄🙏💕
Aw thanks, happy holidays to you too Diane!
Wonderful vlog you both have such a delightful way of decorating for holidays or changing seasons through out the year. I have yet to start decorating but will start this week. My great granddaughter reminded me yesterday that Thanksgiving is over and I still have fall decorations LOL I promised as soon as it was the first I will put them away 💖
Aww we always hang onto the last of autumn too 🍁
Love all your videos and your cute little cottage. Sorry I missed getting the Chin Chin tea tin. I have the other one and just love it. Have you considered making matching mugs/ cups, I'm sure they would be a hit.
Aw, thanks for ordering our tea tins! Mugs is a fun idea we've considered just not sure the right direction to go with it yet.
you guys are so cute!! 💚❤
I love rewatching your videos during each season!
#couplegoals
