  • Hello and happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing a chatty video about some recent favourite things, from a fantastic film to a (ad - gifted) #TeddyBlake handbag, new china and my daily skincare. I also go secondhand book-shopping in York and share my vintage #bookhaul. Have a lovely weekend, everyone, and thanks for watching!

The book I have been reading for the past couple of days is "Dog Stories" by James Herriot. Such a treat and comfort!

      My dear Mother was a huge Anglophile (ditto for me)...She collected just about everything of JAMES HERRIOT. He had such a way of combining sentiment, nostalgia and tenderness and then seeped it in between the letters on the page. He wrote with so much affection about the animals of Yorkshire and the muddling humans who did or didn't deserve to have such incredible creatures under their care. I luv animals so I am a big fan, also. I still have all her JH 📚.

    Love your new bag and love even more your candid transparency in making it really clear this was a gifted promotion. Far too many RUclipsrs skirt round the advertising standards rules and hide 'ad' in the small print, instead of making it as clear as you have done. Another fan of Emma Bridgewater here too - I just ordered some new rabbit crockery for Easter. I always notice and admire your tableware.

    Such an enjoyable video, Miranda! I think you made a great choice for your Spring handbag, gorgeous colour. I love Emma Bridgewater mugs, too, and not much space left for any more but I have my eye on the Spring Chicken mug. Your recent haul of books is fantastic. I've just read Rosemary Sutcliffe's memoir and loved it, especially after recently reading The Armourer's House, great to see the connections with her own childhood. I just found a copy of Caravan Creek by Gladys Mitchell, which looks fun, 1950s adventures on the Norfolk coast. Sadly missing its dustjacket but only a £1 from Oxfam. Have a great week!

    This was such a treat, I really enjoyed the variety within this video, and your new bag is beautiful. Looks perfect with your pink beret. I agree the current Emma Bridgewater collection is particularly beautiful! When you read the preface to the Puffin children's book the vocabulary and tone really struck me; it was eloquent and quite advanced. I think children's books now can be (not always) less challenging in some ways. I remember as a child the feeling of chasing knowledge and vocabulary when reading (I was a dedicated bookworm). I did not understand every word I read, but I got the sense of unfamiliar words because of the context in which they were written, and then if I spotted the same word in another book, my understanding grew. I ended up with a very extensive vocabulary! X

    I already have my mother’s day gift wrapped up, but I love the blue tit and daffodils tin and think it would make a good tin for me to keep my birthday, anniversary etc cards in for me.
    I have a box already for my ladies church group, but could do with one for me too and buy all my cards in over a few months for the whole year that way I save on time. I’ll probably get extra stamps to keep in them too. Actually that also sounds like a fab gift idea for anyone who lives in their own homes etc or who is in charge of buying and sending cards xx

      Yes, the tin would be perfect for cards and stamps! Great idea, Angela!

    Oh my this was delightful, that mug with primroses, your cards, the mini orchid that smells of vanilla, I didn't know orchids could do that 😄 thank you Miranda! Your visit to York and the books you've picked up including a signed copy by Rumer Godden, what a thrill. My Mom has collected Rumer Godden and Elizabeth Goudge for years and passed on this passion to me. Enjoy your wonderful finds and of course, gorgeous Spring handbag!

    Hi Miranda, what a timely video as I am just off to Yorkshire again and will certainly look forward to visiting York and the exhibition. I also have an orchid to pick up from Burton Agnes whilst I am there. I have tickets for the Living North Homes & Gardens event at York Race Course too. Thank you for such an informative catch up and I adored your Emma Bridgewater choices that looked stunning with those gorgeous tulips. Have a wonderful weekend, Teresa

    Such a lovely video! I love the variety. That's amazing about the signed copy of the Rumer Godden! I recently discovered the author R.F. Delderfield. I read his novel To Serve Them All My Days in January and I loved it. I am so excited that he has lots of books left for me to read. We are getting some tiny cherry blossoms on the trees in my area!

    I love York. The combination of Betty’s, Toast and the art gallery is hard to beat for a day out. I enjoyed the exhibition and was pleased to see some paintings from the Bloomsbury group that were new to me. I was sad there was no exhibition catalogue. Maybe you could offer to write one!

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  2 года назад

      It's such a lovely place to shop and visit, I think and also so easy to do on foot. I would have loved to buy a catalogue of the exhibition too!

    When you went to "unbox/unbag" the 👜 I 🤔 thought, "I will be surprised if it isn't PINK!" 😆
    A work of art that 👜...too pricey for moi. But still lovely to look at.
    All your book suggestions are exactly the kind of books I would chose, so thank you. I send you a virtual hug from across the "puddle". 🇺🇸🌍🇬🇧💕👑📚 Don't forget to ask your "Mum" if she would consider adopting a "Yank". I will get the paperwork started...just say the word.😆

    Hello Miranda, thank you sharing all the lovely things with us. The new bag looks fabulous! I love the orchid you got too; I can't seem to get my orchids to re-reflower here in Wellington after the first blooms have gone but I love the leaves 🍃. And my heart skipped many beats seeing the vintage copy of 'The Feast' - what a great find. I found a vintage hardback copy of Miss Read's 'Farther Afield' which has been comforting to read in these times. Anyway, I loved the video catch-up! All the best, Jason

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  2 года назад +1

      Thank you so much, Jason! I cut my orchids down quite low, which I find helps, but then they can be rather temperamental! I was thrilled to find such a reasonably priced copy of The Feast!! How lovely you came across a Miss Read - always a comfort indeed! 💕

    Oh yes, Weleda products are great and I'm a big fan of SkinFood.
    Love the mini book haul, it's always good to find an old Puffin.
    I bought my first Chalet School book this week for only 50c (about 25p!) from a secondhand shop. Haven't read any of those books before but your channel has inspired me to give them a go 😊

    Thank you for this lovely video, Miranda! I’m currently reading The Armourer’s House (much needed solace after the sad ending of The Mill on the Floss!). It’s a great little book which brings London before the Great Fire to life, as Shakespeare and Ben Jonson must have known it (Lammy was bought at the Bartholomew Fair🐑😊). I’ve just got to the point when the ride past the Tabard Inn and take the Canterbury Road. It’s December, so no time of the year to start a pilgrimage, but Chaucer’s London is there as well, of course. It’s such a nice book to follow the changing of seasons in town and country. I’m still looking forward to the blossoming of the tulip bulb🌷😊

    I’m rather late watching this but wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. Your new bag is gorgeous and looked lovely with your blue dress and pink coat and beret, beautiful colours for spring! I am also a big fan of Emma Bridgewater and agree she’s really outdone herself with this spring’s collection! I have lots of her mugs (always so hard to resist!) and love to use the ones that suit the season. I’m interested to try Weleda cream, it sounds like it would suit my dry skin. I love Lumene cream too, that’s what I use daily. I’d love to hear if you have any recommendations for hair care as well as skin care, your hair always looks lovely! (I have wavy/curlyish hair which never seems to look the way I’d like it to!).

In the midst of so much sadness, it is so important to remember there is still beauty in this world and to never take it for granted. I was up very early a few days ago and was blessed to witness a sunrise with the sky streaked with pink clouds. Took my breath away. Will definitely check out and follow Olia Hercules on instagram.
