    Hello ! On April 14th while visiting London, my husband and I stopped into the Marchpane bookshop for Children in London on your recommendation . My husband spied a very special copy of a book about Paddington Bear. We did try to leave the shop without it but the pull was so great on my husband that he said that he really must have it so we turned around and ended up having a marvelous chat with the shop owner. The owner knew the author and creator of Padgington Bear, Michael Bond all the way up until his death. He told us how Paddington Bear came to be in the lives of the author and his wife. I hope you can consider going to The Marchpane bookshop and speaking with the owner about Paddington Bear. I don’t want to spoil this story but it’s very, very sweet.

    As soon as I saw that lovely box I thought it ideal for my fountain pens even before you mentioned yours! No surprise I guess that a book, stationery and art lover would also like pens. It’s another rabbit hole I disappear down from time to time xx

    Speaking of lovely television shows, “Call the Midwife” just finished their 12th season and it is my favorite of all time. I highly recommend starting with season 1 and going through them all. It is set in Poplar, London after the Second World War. It is well written and beautifully acted.

    Your "favorite things" videos are among my favorite things. I always find inspiration and legitimate reasons--such as A Different Sound--to empty my wallet! I'm so enamored with the work of Emily Patrick. I've made one of her images my screen saver. Thank you for introducing us to her in your lovely newsletter. I hope you and Donna are enjoying London, the cat "royalty" granting you a visit, and all of the coronation festivities and good will. 👑 🐱 🌷

    What a delightful 'favourite things' vlog. Thank you for highlighting the new Clare Ptak book - i have her first book & i love it! I have been reading (and rationing! I dont want it to end!) the Helene Hanff book; so skillfully written, you feel you are listening to a friend chat about her life. A tv series i would recommend, if I may, is Magpie Murders. Its a very clever and well made series starring Lesley Manville. I think you & your lovely mum would really enjoy it! X

      I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Penny - thank you! I love that first cookbook of Claire Ptak's as well. We have watched Magpie Murders and thoroughly enjoyed it - we're big Lesley Manville fans (and I enjoyed the book too). Hope you're having a lovely bank holiday weekend! xxx

    Lilly Silks. Such great pieces. Love the navy blue blouse. The dress with the equestrian pattern is very special.

    Thank you Miranda for another wonderful vlog! I’ve decided to watch it on Monday morning to have a lovely start of the week! Your taste is always perfect : the dress,blouse and skirt are so classy and elegant…I can’t wait to read Ways of Life, Kettle’s Yard is one of the places of my heart…As a foreign student in Cambridge I spent long hours there breathing the magic atmosphere and admiring each single meaningful detail ( even the way the light from the windows touches the works of art). I’m so grateful for your recommendation , otherwise I would have missed this beautiful book.❤

    I’m so pleased that you and Donna enjoyed “The Gilded Age.” I almost didn’t recommend it to you because I never know if others will enjoy a TV show as much as I do. I think I’ll give “Transatlantic” a try, based on your recommendation.

    Hi Miranda! Lovely video! so many beautiful products! I adore the cards by Diane Williams. Beautiful! I also loved the buntings by Debbie George - just gorgeous! I am so excited about the new Manderley Press! We have been on a few road trips and have been listening to the Vanderbeeker series. We are now on Book 5 - The Vanderbeekers make a Wish. They keep getting better and better. I love that each book references other pieces of children's literature. I also love that each one teaches a bit about - gosh I don't know what you would call it but... objects of real-life responsibilities like business licenses, deeds, leases etc. I think its so great for kids to get exposed to those types of things. Thank you again for choosing it as your CBC read last December and getting us started on it! 🌷
