The whole concept of Tiny Homes is really interesting. Not really comparable but my neighbours have bought a 10 year old motorhome with the money saved from not being able to go abroad. Unbelievable how everything you need can be crammed into a small space - it may well be part of the future.

I very much enjoyed this video it is so good and inspiring to see people like you and your friends living a simple yet so enriched Life. I live in a very small apartment but it is cozy and welcoming and i make it very pretty to the eye and I don’t spend very much at all in the process, I don’t need anything bigger and as I was watching this video I remembered some years ago visiting Los Angeles USA and I was walking in Beverly Hills among this Massive opulent Mansions with huge manicured gardens behind tall Iron gates with cameras on either side and suddenly I felt Sad and I thought it would be So lonely to live in one of this Cold and so called “perfect Mansions “with perfect huge gardens and I just want it to run away from there I became really sad .. it didn’t felt Real to me.. it had the feeling of emptiness and the energy I felt been there standing in this incredible Opulent and extremely Wealthy neighbourhood observing this mansions was that the people living there were Sad and depressed and Confused I tend to sense energies of places and people and I get affected by them. But today watching this video and every time I watch Fairyland Cottage I feel a calming serene joyful Energy and I feel Peace .. 😌🙏💜💚❤️ THANKS!!!!

I also live in a tiny house! Mine is made out of an old camping van we found when we bought our new property. My mom loves foraging for mushrooms- we just procured a giant haul of chanterelles and lobster mushrooms which she is currently preserving. I have some turkey tails growing at my house that we’re allowing to get a bit bigger before harvest, and she found some curry mushrooms and showed me what to look for so I can pick them out form the rest of the LBMs (little brown mushrooms). This year we were able to get a lot of foraging done since we are both unemployed- well, she’s retired (after one year of working she decided stay-at-home wife was better for her XD) so we have made fireweed tea and fire flower jelly, black currant jam, and picked bunches of wild raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. It’s almost season for the apples and then the high bush cranberries, and I’m so grateful I live out here and can do these things with my mother, learning the different plants and seasons, finding mushrooms, coming home to my house that is just big enough for me.

Hello! Curious what you do with your high bush cranberries.

@cloudGremlin

@@Meinvt mainly make cranberry sauce XD. My mother also makes wines and ciders, so she might try a cranberry-apple cider for the winter season. The bark can also be used medicinally to help with cramps! Edit: I just realized high bush cranberries also include the viburnum opulus which is a European strain, and basically inedible. We have true North American species out here! We also found some wild raisin bushes, which when ripe, the berries have a taste similar to molasses. A roast done up with high bush cranberries and wild raisin sounds in order!

Hi, Courtney here... Sounds fantastic! Sounds like we have a lot in common. I haven't ever found the lobster mushroom yet, I am not sure if its in Ireland or not, but love to find it one day!

Having lived in a 35 foot travel trailer in the mountains with my family, I can appreciate the way that she has created a cozy home. The footage of the peacock is lovely.

Very beautiful! Thank you for inviting us over to see your home. Where the magic of the internet allows thousands of us to fit inside all at the same time. 😁☘😁

The Financial Freedom! Now that's what I'm talkin about😉 Of course, there's many other benefits of living simply and in a smaller space. What are the most popular things going on here in the United States is downsizing! There are more houses and condos being built for seniors than any other type of building space right now. People who have lived in large homes, Mansions, large Estates, and etc. are now moving into one and two-bedroom senior living facilities and they love it! I plan on doing this myself in the future. Smaller spaces are always so much more cozy, warm, and inviting.

@@jemma50 We have power outages here in the wilderness quite frequently… we just had one for several hours this morning, and will have a scheduled power outage next Sunday for 10 hours. Power outages make me realize how much I love electricity, the internet, and running water (no power means no water since our water comes from a well, and the well pump runs on electricity.) We also live in a big house here in the wilderness… it is great to have the space when people come to visit or when we host gatherings, etc. It is also essential to store all our outdoor gear, sailing and water sports equipment, camping equipment, tools, hobby supplies and many instruments (my partner is a musician). When we go camping or travelling I like to go minimalist, but at home… I like to have space. This is not the current trend, but it’s me. Have a great rest of the weekend 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary

I live in a tiny home myself. Not off the grid, but in a tiny apartment. Some people thought I was crazy when We bought it… but it allowed us to live mortgage and rent free. As we furnished it ourselves it covers all of our needs, it has a beautiful aesthetic and I have never been so comfortable and so at home in my life. Plus, the private patio and the common outdoor area invite for family reunions and reading, enjoying oudoors and watching birds. Tiny homes steal my heart! 💜

What a sweet spot! Thank you for sharing another beautiful Irish fairy with us!

Good afternoon from Chicago… I’ve never left a comment on a KZread before but as I lay sick in bed for the 5th day in a row with covid (I’m vaccinated), I just wanted to send you a most heartfelt and tremendous thank you for your work. I have had a difficult few months and am unfortunately capping it off with covid and your videos are helping me to heal and stay grounded. Your voice, the little twinkles of music, soft lenses, the scenery, the delicious foods, beautiful crafts, warm cottage, every part of it is literally filling my heart daily. Prior to being ill, I found many of your suggestions very useful and easy to do from organizing the house to banana water for plants… I have a difficult job and am a high-energy person and following your lead I may just come out of this bed rest and buy a country home and say to hell with all this! Again, thank you for your work and sharing you and your husband’s (happy belated!!!) lives. With love, Em

My husband and I live off grid in an RV. We sold our house 2 years ago and don’t regret it for a minute! We have solar and a composting toilet (Nature’s Head). Because we live in the coldest part of Canada, we go south to Arizona in the winter, although Covid has put a wrench in our plans. It’s a wonderful life🥰

Omg. This was way too short. I could watch this for hours, learning about this way of living which will become normal in a future for many, many people... so wonderful. I could feel the magic from the screen. Thanks

I love the sounds of the birds 🐦 😌 . This living space is just beautiful

Thanks for sharing Courtney journey.We think she as a cute tiny house. 💚❤

What a lovely adventure she is having with her life. I love it.

Lovely! Thanks to all of you!

I sure love the quietness living with the birds and flowers all around. Thank you for sharing Courtney’s life!

Oh Courtney. You are my spirit animal. ❤️

The artisan stove is wonderful! The tub so cute. Loved seeing the peacock. Thank you for the tour.

I enjoyed this. Her workable simplicity.❤

Never thought I could love this channel even more, but when you said that you were "leaving the Shire for a bit" I fell that more in love! Fabulous video, outstanding channel - a highlight for me every week!

Your videos are so magical to me, I always end up feeling inspired, and thinking how happiness it’s not based on what society taught us to be.

I went off the grid a couple weeks ago in a family cabin. The mountains were just gorgeous! I gotta go back

Really love living simple , you are my inspiration

simplicity and happiness, the kind that beats pressure brought by society and media's standards. i love it 💚

I loved this video and also the one with you and Terry. I always feel honoured when people open up their homes and lives for others to get a glimpse of. It's inspiring. Thank you so much xx

Very interesting seeing how people live in small spaces, off grid, and independent. Thanks all for sharing.

Lovely tiny home. She literally shines with peacefulness. It must be her beautiful lifestyle.

Loved this video. Love to see more of Courtney and a walk in the woods to forage with her. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this beautiful video! I absolutely love seeing how people repurpose spaces into lovely little off grid homes. How wonderful ❤️

I was brought up in an off grid home in Poland.Coming back to this lately

This is so peaceful. Thank you for sharing.

Very inspiring! For those who are interested in checking out the amazing world of mushrooms (including the turkey tail kind that is used here) I recommend a documentary called “Fantastic Funghi” which is now on Netflix. Mushrooms are truly miraculous! Thanks for this glimpse into off-grid living!

Bravo Courtney! What a wonderful way to live! 💓xx

I always enjoy watching your videos on Sunday mornings, but this one was so well timed. I just purchased a used mini-van that I am converting into a weekend adventure camper. Where I live, it is hot and the air is hazy from nearby forest fires, but I woke up early to put in a couple of hours on the van before it got too hot. Alas, there is a nut that just will not budge from the bolt at the base of one of the seats I'm removing. I was grumpy, hot, sweaty, and discouraged. So, I went in the house to cool off and saw you had a new video up. Courtney's home and slow tea preparation calmed me right down, and encouraged me to work toward my goal of a beautiful weekend "tiny home".

Thank you for sharing your wonderful friend and her living space that is so creative and lovely.

What an amazing woman. I left a beautiful 2 bed apartment to live in a static home that was virtually derelict. It's in the New Forest on top of a cliff & I'm surrounded by forest & beaches. It's not quiet but I love this way of living as it helped me slow down. Its tiny you can barely swing a cat, but its mine & the pups & expands my joy & creativity. This was a pleasure to watch 🌈🙏

I loved Sadhbh's off-grid tiny home on wheels. Her love of foraging mushrooms is reflected in her little mushrooms artwork, teas, and mycology books.

I have learned that they really help my intestinal issues or at least don’t make them worse. So I’m would like to learn more about foraging for them. Hugs to you both 💛
