Hello Wildflowers! In this rather mysterious and magickal episode, I invite you to fly with me, on faerie wings, or even a broomstick, to discover a little witchy cottage that has stood high upon Cemetery Hill, overlooking Sailor's Grave and Lonely Bay, for 103 years. Welcome to 'Belladonna Cottage', my beautiful new home.

I so hope you will enjoy the video!
🥀 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING, WILDFLOWERS 🥀

  • I live in a 125 yr old cottage in rural Victoria. I named her Gramarye Cottage which means ‘Magic’ cottage. I’m an Eclectic Pagan Witch. My cottage decor is dark forest/ academia/witchy/gothic/cottagecore I’d say and all my furniture and decor items are antique/ second hand/ thrifted. I look forward to seeing your cottage journey unfold ❤️ Blessings 🙏

    Dear Nancy, as a gothic witch myself, this spoke to my soul! Congratulations and many blessings in your beautiful cottage. I love hearing about the signs that made you know that this house was meant for you. I have experienced something similar in search of my house. I've always dreamed of living in a historical home, my very own Practical Magic house. Imagine my surprise when I found just that two years ago, a townhouse from 1840 with all the features I have imagined for my historical dream home. Not only that, but... there was a pentacle in the garden, a round disk poured into the earth, the star outlined in white stones. It was THE sign that it was meant to be! :)
  • I actually cant believe there's an Australian youtuber who actually follows our southern hemisphere Sabbats. Thankyou and I'm looking forward to following along in your new chapter. Blessings from a South Australian witch 😊
  • @Nightowl-72
    I’ve only just found you, and the joy and wonder I felt watching this was indescribable. Like coming home, and so very relatable it made my heart ache. I’ve just bought a little 100yr old cottage in a beautiful NSW country town and can’t wait to move in. I’ll watch your adventures in beautiful Belladonna cottage with delight and knowing. Much love from a fellow Australian hedge witch 💜🍁🌿🖤

    Wow, can't wait to be taken on this journey. Even where it is situated is so evocative of mystery and magic, plus a home with so many years of history is truly special. I am so very happy for you and your new found home. May it bring you beauty, abundance, joy and most of all magick ! 💖
  • I wish with all my heart that someday I will own my own house that I can turn into the gothic bohemian paradise for me and my family.💙
  • @michaelthornley
    Blessings to you Nancy...I love the contrast of your black & white cottage, and yet I see your golden heart that shines within. I look forward to discovering more about the talents and wisdom of the Rambling Rose...

    What joy! I’m so happy to have stumbled upon your beautiful channel! The mystery and magic in your voice and descriptions are goosebumpy and enchanting! Thrilled to be able to see your journey unfold. Love from the UK x
  • What a lovely old cottage and it seems made for you! I love the black & white exterior and your matching outfit that reminds me of Wednesday Addams! Rose garden and cemetery nearby(haunted or hauntingly beautiful) sound perfect too. I’m looking forward to seeing you decorate your new home and sharing my favorite season even though it is spring here in the U.S. (PS those plummy shades you are contemplating for wall colors are just heavenly!)💜🖤🤍
  • @Amanda-ei7oc
    Hi Nancy. Excited to see what you do with your beautiful new cottage! You asked for a saying to go with your painting so I’m putting one out there - “Beauty brings light to the dark heart just as sunrise does to the night sky”. Or something like that 😊
  • What a darling cottage! ❤️ It has the same colour scheme as our cottage from the 1930’s, which we had moved from Preston all the way to the high country. I love the charm of old houses. It’s something that is very hard to create in modern builds. I can’t want to see more videos and hope you very much enjoy your new witchy cottage!
  • @indigomoon22
    I loved the transformation and rebirth energies this video invoked. I'm so pleased for you, Nancy. I hope your new home brings you and Noah many wonderful memories. I'm so excited to see how your garden and art evolves. I was inspired by your channel to grow my own herbs and I've since got chives, basil, parsley and coriander growing. It's fulfilling to see them bloom from just a tiny seed. Thank you for your channel 😊
  • @emmapowick
    What a perfect Samhain episode. I could just imagine your house painted light lilac with a purple front door. The perfect witches cottage!
  • So excited for this new journey you are on. I love cemeteries as well. So quiet and peaceful. All of the colors that you have chosen are some of my favorites. Can't wait to see what is next for you and Noah.
  • @MissSparks92
    GOALS. Thanks for the inspirtation and comforting storytelling and showing us your life. Such a beautiful home and life!

    What a lovely job you've done already! I moved into Rose Cottage (built for me, so brand new! But still with lots of charm!) Just two weeks ago, April 17th. I have a dreamy new bed, and lots of old things from my former life ... I had a sweet black clawfoot tub that I'd never installed - since my home is designed for aging in place (I'm 72) sigh ...I just have a shower, a friend took the tub. I have a cabinet my dad built nearly 100 years ago in his school shop class - it's serving as my pantry, and my largest harp Rowan looks quite at home on the living room. I have a second 'bedtoom' for my library, at and music room, and we got a load of books and such from storage last night for me to go through and decide where to place/ what to keep this time. I brought pants in pots as well, and am so glad to see which came through the winter! And to sort and contemplate what goes where ... Congratulations on your wonderful move, and on settling in
  • Your new home is amazing! So much history in an around it. 🕰 The colour scheme for your bedroom and ensuite is perfect! 👌 It's going to be exciting watching you transform this magical home into your own style! 🤗🌸🌷
  • I love your new home - congratulations! “Synchronicity & signs” yes!! We are on the search for our next home too, and I’m hoping I will just “know” when it’s the right one! Wishing you so much happiness as you put roots down in this special place 🥰
