You’re of my favorite influencer we have so very much in common interests! I am another impacted greatly by your beautiful persona & content. You have inspired me to remember who I used to be before marriage & motherhood, now making time to rekindle my old hobbies like reading, writing poetry, painting, my hunger for knowledge continue learning history & French language, vintage hunt sourcing dressing up being my girly self just because, etc. (I have been slowly finding healing my lost self inner child long forgotten for the past 12yrs) your content and my current circumstances found each other in such a fine tuned time perfectly together, together ignited the spark I needed for change & healing! and for this I thank you! ❤

    Oh Darling desi, how i wish we could be friends in real life. Your videos speak to my heart the person you are brings a kindness and gentleness to my life that i only realize is missing when i see your new videos pop up. To have a friend like minded and wonderful as you is a blessing even just over the internet. I could picture going to eachothers house having tea and reading in spring time. Swapping books from our personal libraries, leaving little notes in books for eachother to find later, running through meadows of flowers. i have no one i can really be myself around, or that feeds and enjoys that part of me that wishes she was in a classic novel. So that part of me often gets pushed down deep. Your videos make me feel seen thank you so much! i will forever watch your channel over and over! With all the love and admiration - A kindred spirit finding her way💛

    You are honestly such an inspiration, the amount of thought and creativity that goes into the editing, music, colours is soso impressive. You manage to set an entire mood with your storytelling and visuals, and I aspire to one day be able to do the same. Lots of love from the other side of the world

    • @DarlingDesi
      @DarlingDesi  9 месяцев назад +5

      I thought of doing that! But we’ll be moving this summer and figured it would be easier for the bookshelf to find a new home if it remained white.

    From the Mixed Up Files was one of my very favourite books when I was growing up, and I still have it. You will love it!! Also, the nook is absolutely gorgeous. I love how it came together. You have a knack for cozy and getting the cottagecore vibe just right, especially with the books and art. Seeing the space come together was so lovely!! Even your Brooklinen ad was so good. I've wanted to get their sheets forever, but I just don't have it anywhere close in the budget right now. These videos just make me so happy. Thank you for being so YOU, so good at what you do, and helping people like me get through our day. xo

    I also recently discovered Cara Bastone and absolutely adore her books! Like you, I have to be in the mood for contemporary romance (not a go to genre for me), but her books are just perfection. Also, your nook is divine - it made me want to read and go on a picnic.

    • @DarlingDesi

    Dear Desi, I'm not the type to comment much on videos, but I really wanted to thank you for warming up my heart more and more every time you post, I've been crying (happy tears) at the last 6 or 7 videos... You make me long for a life I could only dream of and inspire me to take steps, however little they are, towards that life. ❤❤❤
    Please don't ever stop being you! 🙏🏻
    Also, you and Jared are absolutely adorable! 👩‍❤️‍👨

I hope you enjoyed reading my novel as a British author and you being one of my favourite RUclipsrs made me so happy to see you had it in your collection !! My second published book will be out in the fall of this year ! Hope you enjoy reading home for the holidays - it really is a super cute romantic yet very traditional feel good story. I really enjoyed this video and what a beautiful reading nest you created ! You have inspired me so much to transform my reading area ! Best wishes to you Desi from England , love Sophie x you’ve made my day 🌷

    Such a lovely video!! If you haven’t read Witch if Blackbird Pond…and it’s still in the library….i think you would really enjoy it! It has a bit of mystery, a strong heroine, and also long passages about making candles/other old timey crafts and chores!

    I've got about a dozen Little Free Libraries within walking distance of my house (including our own!) and I know where each one is by heart although we do keep a list of addresses, which we print copies of to put in ours. It's so fun finding new ones we didn't know about. One of them is built into the stump of a tree and it has a cute little roof on it and a small door in the side where a gnome lives.
    Also...you are allowed to take more than one book you know. You didn't have to leave Despereaux behind if you wanted it.
