To be a plus size person living in Australia and have my fav youtuber come out with winter sweat shirts, in time for us AND in larger sizes means so much!! I can't wait to get one
My morning: curled up by the window, thunder storm rolling outside, hot tea in hand and this video on my tv. I swear I've never felt this excited about the changing seasons until I started following you. Thank you for creating and sharing your content 💕 PS. Summer sweatshirts are a VIBE ☀️
Idk what you do differently but your videos are the only ones that I save for watching completely undistracted and undisturbed all cozy with some comfort food. And I never have the urge to do this with any other youtuber. Whatever magic it is I appreciate it so much that you do all this
Loved this so much Desi - thank you! Fun fact - I’m a relative of Georgette Heyer’s (or I was, obviously. She died in the 70s). She married a Rougier, which is my family name.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I woke up and saw a second upload from you this week! Never have I gotten quicker out of bed 🥰 Thank you so much for all the lovely spring book recommendations and I'm so excited for your upcoming launch! They all look perfect 💖

Also a book recommendation!! If you haven’t read (a children’s book) The Adventures of Miss Petitfour, you NEED to!! The cover alone is SO spring, and it’s such an adorable, whimsical read about a woman who goes on adventures with her MANY cats (all with super quirky names!). And the illustrations are super charming! 💚
Yay Brambley Hedge! I had the 4 seasons one growing up. I wholeheartedly agree it’s good for adults to read children’s books. I’m lucky as I’m a primary school teacher so I get to read kids books daily and not feel silly 😂❤
I’m so excited for Most Ardently and Kindred Spirits Club sweatshirts! And those book recommendations went all into my TBR! Also Desi, if you loved the Wisteria Society book you will LOVE the second book in the series! The Gentlewomen Witches is such a fun read, more open romance than the first book, but just so wholesome and sweet ❤
This made me so happy!!!! I grew up spending my summers on Prince Edward Island and every winter, my family would watch the old “Anne of Green Gables” movies. I am most DEFINITELY getting one if not 3 sweatshirts ❤️
I read the lady’s guide to fortune hunting, and I loved the descriptions of the balls and dresses and I thought Lord Radcliffe was so charming! Highly enjoyed!
This is a gorgeous video, I love spring! James Herriot’s books are lovely and, if you haven’t seen it already, there’s a show based on his books called All Creatures Great and Small. I’m not sure where it airs in America but it’s worth watching 🤍☁️🌷
I think you would enjoy the Miss Read books, set in the Cotswolds (England) in the 1950s. They are really based on the memoirs of a village teacher. So wholesome and cottagecore. You should check them out.
You radiate springtime beauty Desi 🌷🎀 congratulations on your new spring enthusiast collection! it’s autumn in Australia and I am ✨ living ✨ for cosy reads and all the snuggles in my “mentally in stars hollow” sweatshirt 🍁
It’s so refreshing to see what’s happening on the other side of the world right now, and it gives me a sprout of cheerful sprin even though it’s the middle of Autumn here in Australia. Guess it’s time to re-watch a few dessi Autumn videos…. 🍁 🍂
Thank you for sharing these gorgeous recommendations 😍 I think C. S. Lewis said that a good children's book applies to all ages. And I couldn't agree more 💐
First time reading Anne of Green Gables at the moment (after a long reading slump) and I’m loving every second of it! There such an appreciation for life and living in Anne and there is also this gentle wave of nostalgia -the book has captured so vividly how it’s like to be a little girl in general but a girl with a wild imagination that gets her in trouble in particular. The spring sweaters came out great! Lovely colour selections, particularly the lavender ‘kindred spirits club’ one is so dreamy! I would so much like to get my hands in one of those -spring is such a special season for me! After many years of battling with depression and anxiety and a few years of therapy my therapist had suggested at some point during springtime to engage in small, frequent walks around my neighborhood. It was like I was witnessing spring for the very first time in my life! Everything was so vivid yet gentle and ethereal, it was as if the very light was pulsating a beckoning towards me. I have spent so much time inside my head and indoors that I forgot there is a whole world outside to observe and love and take part in and it was in spring that I finally, truly, realized this and how far I’ve come. Thank you so much for your videos Desi. You’re such a sweet and genuine person, and I’m wishing you every joy. I hope you’re having a beautiful day! :)
omg, james herriot was the first book i0ve red when I was a little girl, maybe 8/9 year old, and I love all of them!! when we went in our summer house on the hills, I'm into deep dive in the cottage living, animals, walking trough the woods beyond the house, play with bunnies and chickens. This book reminds me all of this beautiful memories, and my love for animal nature and cottage. You'll ruin me with all the books that you've suggest and that I love. just now, my nightstand is a pile of books. the same for the windowsill and much more parts of my bedroom. XD my cat sleeps on my books XD I love your sweatshirt, I want the green of Anne the baby blue and the lillac for sure, and maybe the white one!! I'm still waiting super excited !!!! I'm already registered!! thank you sweetheart love your video as always and you're adorable with those vichy pink dress..
This is so funny, I woke up two hours ago and spent these two hours reading. Now I just opened youtube to see if you posted something and here it is this video! Thank you a lot Desi, you saved my life!
I watched an old spring book video in March, and you recommended I Capture the Castle. I’m nearly finished, and I LOVE this book!! Thank you so much. Your book recs have reignited my love of reading!
Hi Desi. Thanks for the beautiful, aesthetic videos you make. You make my life so much better. I always look forward to your videos, especially the book hauls and recommendations. Can you do a video on your entire book collection? I know I am asking for too much but I would love to see it.
This reminds me of the old book videos you used to do all the time, love it! I hope you continue to make more book videos. I always love your recommendations and always end up buying more books. Thank you for taking the time to makes these videos Desi!
You are only recommending books and you still made it so aesthetic and calming. Amazing hahhaha. I LOVE the sweaters btw, don't know which one to choose!!!!!
If you like funny Regencys, I suggest The Phantom Lover by Elizabeth Mansfield. If I were going to have a sweatshirt with a saying, I'd take it from the character Amelia, who frequently asks the other characters, "Would anyone like some tea?"
I didn’t discover Anne of Green Gables until I was a mom with young boys. I would self care(before we called it that) and take a bubble bath once a month (or so) while my husband watched the boys and gave mommy a break. Scented candles, some classical music and something enchanting to read (like Anne or a new issue of Victoria magazine) was a wonderful escape. By the way the sweatshirts are lovely and it’s so nice that you are offering them in a wide variety of sizes. I live in an old farmhouse and while I’m hot natured I find I’m often chilly in the house even when it’s warm outside. Think I need one of those kindred club ones!!! ❤
Watching your video for the first time is a very special ritual for me, I have 4 kids and not alot of time for myself… but when you release a new video, I always wait untill I am by myself, with a nice cup of tea, a cozy blanket to watch. I do not want to have to press pause 😅 Then I watch it a second time with my daughter who is twelve, she absolutely adores you 😊 Can’t wait to watch this one!!!
Beautiful sweatshirts.. I definitely recommend “Wind in the Willows “ The story is set at the beginning of spring, illustrations are lovely. Growing up in the U.K., we read many classics and I think you will thoroughly enjoy and add it to your Spring collection. Thank you for sharing the simpler things in life
I hate spring, because my depression gets unbearable this time of year. March and April are the worst months for me. When the trees are green, it goes away. Sadly, this year, winter seems to be never ending here in Norway, so the trees arent budding any time soon. But I still love these spring videos! And I also love "Here comes the sun" and it suits your videos so well. The song is a sonic sun beam. Bring the Beatlemania to the next generations!
I have never seen the Gilmore Girls, but I totally love the one with the, “I smell snow”. This is one of my super powers when it comes to smelling who is cooking what and what house. I can also, smell snow. It baffles my mind that we can smell rain, but not many can smell snow. But I am one of those that can. Thank you for your amazing videos, I learn so much.
Desi, you should try reading "My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel" for summer! It describes the beautiful nature and the calm of just being alive. I believe you will lose yourself in the scenery. The details of the relationships between the family members is heartwarming and so sweet. Then the magic of Totoro comes alive filling your life with mystery. It's so amazing. I want to share it with everyone. Please read it!
Love your book recommendations, they always became my favs of the year! Mine is "A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder" by Dianne Freeman. Is the first book in the Countess of Harleigh Mistery Saga. They can be read individually and they are kind of a 1890-1900 Agatha Christie misteries. Highly recommended.
I just read the Miss Newbury's list and omg, it's so good.✨ So wholesome, with captivating writing and I think we all need a Charlie in our life, he was perfect 😍
Desi!!!!! Your decorating of your home is SO beautiful!!!!!!! You truly are inspiring!!!!! Thank U Desi for all your work you put into your videos! They are SO beautiful! U are SO beautiful!!!!!!🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷
Lovely choices for spring reading. Loved Brambley Hedge as a child. Love that Agatha Christie Sinister Spring has a mention. Loved the winter and Summer editions. Reading Persuasion by Jane Austen at the moment. Love your RUclips content. You encouraged my 12 year old daughter that reading classics is fun and cool.
I read through the Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels SO FAST, that I'm back for more book recommendations. I truly LIVE for your book lists, Desi!! Edit: Finished A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting and back for more book recs! Thanks Desi for making my spring so wonderful with these stories. 💐📚
Another new Desi video so soon? We are so lucky! I always love your book recommendations. I put them on my to-read list at the library. 🙂💕 I am currently reading ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ which I first heard about from you! (I am loving it!)
Oh yay!! I honestly had that book on my list for this video but somehow forgot to include it when I sat down to film ☹️ It’s definitely one of my favorites! I hope you love it 🥰
Your videos are so soothing for the soul! They’ve helped me so much with slowing down my life to focus the present moment more and I’m so grateful for the work you do to spread your positivity and tips and just general loveliness with anyone that comes across your channel :) A video I would love to see from you in the future is tips on finding the joy in keeping a tidy and clean house? It’s something I struggle with staying motivated with on a day to day basis since moving into my own space and I quickly get so overwhelmed. How do you make space in your day to keep up with those chores while not considering them a negative or “boring” part of the day? I’d love to find more enjoyment in cleaning!
I love every single sweatshirt and my mom named me Kindred because she wanted me to be her Kindred Spirit:) Now we are all in a club, thank you for your wonderful and sweet videos, you make me feel so seen and known!!
Ok as soon as the sweatshirts come on you play an acoustic version of one of my favorite songs?? I almost started crying 😂 so excited to get at least one of those beauties!
If you haven't already, treat yourself to watching the 2020 adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small. It's about James's adventures as a young vet in Yorkshire and the cast, sets, scenery and details are stunning. Perfect escapism.
Don't know if you've read it, but I love the Brontë Mysteries series by Bella Ellis! It's a series where the sisters investigate and solve crimes in the English countryside 💓 they come in super cute editions and are so perfect for early spring!
I wear crew necks all year. They are so cozy and great for brisk Spring days, curling up to read in Winter, camping in the Summer, and Autumn's sweater weather. I'm sooo ready!!!
Desi you are spoiling us! Amazing as always. Small suggestion for a sweatshirt: off the shoulder/drop shoulder sweatshirts would be a good idea for warmer climates. I live in Florida, but I wear off/drop shoulder sweatshirts all the time. Usually they are a bit thinner and perfect for warmer weather.
I just wanted to thank you for recommending The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter last year. I’ve never liked spring but I adored these last year and have decided to make them a yearly listen. It makes my spring much more whimsical and a bit magical.
I can't wait to get a Kindred Spirits Club sweatshirt, it's too cute! My spring recommendations for books are: 🍯Return To The Hundred Acre Wood -David Benedictus 🌷Mandy-Julie Edward Andrews 🌼Heidi-Johanna Spyri 🍄The Lighthouse Family-Cynthia Rylant
@@tabithacase Yeah, me too! 😊 Along with _The secret garden_ by _Frances Hodgson Burnett_ and all of _Lucy Maud Montgomery_ 's novels - these are my all-time-favourite spring books. 😄
This video was exactly what I needed. I live in the English countryside and I have to say - it is not aesthetic 😂 mostly, it rains and rains again (grey clouds, mud, all the good stuff). So we are all praying spring properly arrives soon 🥰🌼🌸🌻💐 I’ll be imagining it’s already here through books, thank you for the cosy recs!
I love the art work in Brambly hedge. It was on tv when my kid was a baby....oh,i fell in love with the cute story and artwork,so lovely. Peter rabbit is so sweet too🥰. I love the colour of "kindred spirit".
Hey Desi ! Thank you so much for the video, it made me smile so much and got me so excited for spring 🤩🤩🤩 I have a book recommendation: The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Ada Bright and Cass Grafton. IT IS SO AMAZING! Think time travel meets Jane Austen meets regency and current times Bath meets libraries 🤩🤩 I’m reading the second of the series now and I just couldn’t put it down, it’s so so good!
It’s 1am in my country haha but I really want to thank you for all you do, every time I’m having a bad day I watch one of your videos to remind me how beautiful life can be, and how little things can make such a beautiful difference! I have dysautonomia so, it’s very common for me to have bad days and, as weird as it may sound, knowing that you have been (and still are) going through health issues and still trying to live your best and most beautiful life, it’s such an inspiration for me❤ send you a biiiiiiggggg hug and all my love!!
Hi Darling Desi!! 💐 I really enjoy your content. I would love to see thrift hauls again, seasonal starter videos, probable Gilmore Read-A-Thon 2023, home decor inspiration, and those beautiful fur babies of yours make the most adorable contributions. Happy Spring Happy Easter wishing you the very best as you continue to share all the amazing content from your Darling World 🗺️
You could do a much lighter sweatshirt for summer! One for those summer nights where you can wear shorts and you just need a little something extra when the sun goes down and it’s a little bit chilly, but you’re still hanging with your friends outside
Oh, how wonderful with spring! It is magic to be allowed to escape into your spring world for a little while, especially for me who lives in the arctic and have some 4 more weeks or so before the snow is gone. Thank you!

Also a book recommendation!! If you haven’t read (a children’s book) The Adventures of Miss Petitfour, you NEED to!! The cover alone is SO spring, and it’s such an adorable, whimsical read about a woman who goes on adventures with her MANY cats (all with super quirky names!). And the illustrations are super charming! 💚
Sounds great 😸 U had me at cats
Yay Brambley Hedge! I had the 4 seasons one growing up. I wholeheartedly agree it’s good for adults to read children’s books. I’m lucky as I’m a primary school teacher so I get to read kids books daily and not feel silly 😂❤
Wholesome ❤️
I’m so excited for Most Ardently and Kindred Spirits Club sweatshirts! And those book recommendations went all into my TBR!

This made me so happy!!!! I grew up spending my summers on Prince Edward Island and every winter, my family would watch the old “Anne of Green Gables” movies. I am most DEFINITELY getting one if not 3 sweatshirts ❤️

That dress! That hair! That mug! Those kitties! And books 😍
All the content I needed today ✨💜
I read the lady’s guide to fortune hunting, and I loved the descriptions of the balls and dresses and I thought Lord Radcliffe was so charming! Highly enjoyed!

if it remains a seasonal theme, i like the idea of naming your “merch” SEASONAL SWEETS since it is such a treat 🦋🤍🦋
I love that 🥹
This is so funny, I woke up two hours ago and spent these two hours reading. Now I just opened youtube to see if you posted something and here it is this video! Thank you a lot Desi, you saved my life!
You are in my top 3 favorite RUclipsrs of all time to watch. It feels like home, like anew, cozy, safe, joyful, alive, hopeful!
two Desi videos in a week?! my day had been made. your work is simply magical, never stop! by the way, that dress looks stunning on you ❤
I watched an old spring book video in March, and you recommended I Capture the Castle. I’m nearly finished, and I LOVE this book!! Thank you so much. Your book recs have reignited my love of reading!
Hi Desi. Thanks for the beautiful, aesthetic videos you make. You make my life so much better. I always look forward to your videos, especially the book hauls and recommendations. Can you do a video on your entire book collection? I know I am asking for too much but I would love to see it.
I think you would also like Randi Lynn Reed RUclipsr!
This reminds me of the old book videos you used to do all the time, love it! I hope you continue to make more book videos. I always love your recommendations and always end up buying more books. Thank you for taking the time to makes these videos Desi!
What a treat! Two videos in a week! I hope you are healthy and happy, Desi! I can't wait to see how your life unfolds in New England! 😍🥰🤩
Definitely a treat!!!!!!! Made my day!!!!!♥️
You are only recommending books and you still made it so aesthetic and calming. Amazing hahhaha.
I LOVE the sweaters btw, don't know which one to choose!!!!!
If you like funny Regencys, I suggest The Phantom Lover by Elizabeth Mansfield.
If I were going to have a sweatshirt with a saying, I'd take it from the character Amelia, who frequently asks the other characters, "Would anyone like some tea?"
I haven't read it but that would be a great quote regardless!!
Seconded!!
I didn’t discover Anne of Green Gables until I was a mom with young boys. I would self care(before we called it that) and take a bubble bath once a month (or so) while my husband watched the boys and gave mommy a break. Scented candles, some classical music and something enchanting to read (like Anne or a new issue of Victoria magazine) was a wonderful escape.

Okay but the blue on the"I smell snow"-sweater matching Lorelie's scarf from that exact scene made me so happy
I really appreciate the open door/closed door romance disclosure. Thank you!
Watching your video for the first time is a very special ritual for me, I have 4 kids and not alot of time for myself… but when you release a new video, I always wait untill I am by myself, with a nice cup of tea, a cozy blanket to watch. I do not want to have to press pause 😅 Then I watch it a second time with my daughter who is twelve, she absolutely adores you 😊 Can’t wait to watch this one!!!
Beautiful sweatshirts.. I definitely recommend “Wind in the Willows “ The story is set at the beginning of spring, illustrations are lovely. Growing up in the U.K., we read many classics and I think you will thoroughly enjoy and add it to your Spring collection. Thank you for sharing the simpler things in life
I feel like if Anne Shirley would meet you Desi ,you two would probably be best friends.😘
Tote bags with pockets to hold picnic supplies and books of course! Got to always be prepared for those summer picnic readathons!
I hate spring, because my depression gets unbearable this time of year. March and April are the worst months for me. When the trees are green, it goes away. Sadly, this year, winter seems to be never ending here in Norway, so the trees arent budding any time soon. But I still love these spring videos! And I also love "Here comes the sun" and it suits your videos so well. The song is a sonic sun beam. Bring the Beatlemania to the next generations!
So excited for your launch!!!! Geeking out!
Keep your health and well being in my prayers. Thank you for adding beauty and joy to the world 🌸
Okay I added most of those books to my Goodreads! And those merch colors are so pretty!
Thank you so much for including a warning about whether a book does or doesn’t include steamy scenes! Its really really helpful
Blonde and pastels look good on you darling! You look so fresh and so pretty!
Your outfit! Your hair! Your book recommendations! Your sweatshirts! Ahh I just love you through the screen! 🥰 🌸 📚
living in New Zealand now and so happy to see you having international options! I love everything you share!
I have never seen the Gilmore Girls, but I totally love the one with the, “I smell snow”. This is one of my super powers when it comes to smelling who is cooking what and what house. I can also, smell snow. It baffles my mind that we can smell rain, but not many can smell snow. But I am one of those that can.
Thank you for your amazing videos, I learn so much.
I smell snow!!!! I love it!!! ❤❄️
What a list! I’m thrilled to be included in these dreamy spring reads and now my TBR stack is bigger!
Definitely want the Most Ardently shirt. I love subtly geeky stuff.
Desi, you should try reading "My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel" for summer! It describes the beautiful nature and the calm of just being alive. I believe you will lose yourself in the scenery. The details of the relationships between the family members is heartwarming and so sweet. Then the magic of Totoro comes alive filling your life with mystery. It's so amazing.

They can be read individually and they are kind of a 1890-1900 Agatha Christie misteries. Highly recommended.
Because of you I watched ann with an e and feel I’m love with Matthew. Now I just got the “real” books and starting next week
I just read the Miss Newbury's list and omg, it's so good.✨ So wholesome, with captivating writing and I think we all need a Charlie in our life, he was perfect 😍
Desi!!!!! Your decorating of your home is SO beautiful!!!!!!! You truly are inspiring!!!!! Thank U Desi for all your work you put into your videos! They are SO beautiful! U are SO beautiful!!!!!!🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷
The James Herriot books are so funny. They made me laugh out loud on the train into work. I got funny stares. x
Lovely choices for spring reading. Loved Brambley Hedge as a child. Love that Agatha Christie Sinister Spring has a mention. Loved the winter and Summer editions. Reading Persuasion by Jane Austen at the moment. Love your RUclips content. You encouraged my 12 year old daughter that reading classics is fun and cool.
I read through the Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels SO FAST, that I'm back for more book recommendations. I truly LIVE for your book lists, Desi!!
Edit: Finished A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting and back for more book recs! Thanks Desi for making my spring so wonderful with these stories. 💐📚
You would like RUclipsr Randi Lynn Reed, I think.
OHMYGOODNESS! A lightning bolt of EXCITEMENT seeing the Brambly Hedge book! They were my favorite books when I was a kid!
Another new Desi video so soon? We are so lucky! I always love your book recommendations. I put them on my to-read list at the library. 🙂💕 I am currently reading ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ which I first heard about from you! (I am loving it!)
Oh yay!! I honestly had that book on my list for this video but somehow forgot to include it when I sat down to film ☹️ It’s definitely one of my favorites! I hope you love it 🥰
You should read the forget me not summer! It’s a summer book obviously, but it’s one of my favorite books!!! 🫶🏻💕
I’ve never heard you recommend “The Go-Between”. Very springish and you would love it.
Your videos are so soothing for the soul! They’ve helped me so much with slowing down my life to focus the present moment more and I’m so grateful for the work you do to spread your positivity and tips and just general loveliness with anyone that comes across your channel :)
A video I would love to see from you in the future is tips on finding the joy in keeping a tidy and clean house? It’s something I struggle with staying motivated with on a day to day basis since moving into my own space and I quickly get so overwhelmed. How do you make space in your day to keep up with those chores while not considering them a negative or “boring” part of the day? I’d love to find more enjoyment in cleaning!
I want to own every single one of those sweatshirts 😍
I think aprons for the summer could be cute ❤
Aprons! Yes!
I love every single sweatshirt and my mom named me Kindred because she wanted me to be her Kindred Spirit:) Now we are all in a club, thank you for your wonderful and sweet videos, you make me feel so seen and known!!
Ok as soon as the sweatshirts come on you play an acoustic version of one of my favorite songs?? I almost started crying 😂 so excited to get at least one of those beauties!
If you haven't already, treat yourself to watching the 2020 adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small. It's about James's adventures as a young vet in Yorkshire and the cast, sets, scenery and details are stunning. Perfect escapism.
I really hope you bring the autumn sweaters back at well. The winter enthusiast is definitely mine!!!
Don't know if you've read it, but I love the Brontë Mysteries series by Bella Ellis! It's a series where the sisters investigate and solve crimes in the English countryside 💓 they come in super cute editions and are so perfect for early spring!
I love these books! I think I did hear about them from Desi, in an autumn video perhaps. They are so charming and cosy. 🙂
@@margaretforsey7763 They really are! 🤍🤍
Your videos bring me such joy, they make my heart smile! You are such a lovely lady, thank you for putting out absolutely delightful videos.
I’m so excited for the launch and that you’re releasing the winter collection with the spring one because I’m definitely a winter enthusiast✨
I wear crew necks all year. They are so cozy and great for brisk Spring days, curling up to read in Winter, camping in the Summer, and Autumn's sweater weather. I'm sooo ready!!!
Desi you are spoiling us! Amazing as always.
Small suggestion for a sweatshirt: off the shoulder/drop shoulder sweatshirts would be a good idea for warmer climates. I live in Florida, but I wear off/drop shoulder sweatshirts all the time. Usually they are a bit thinner and perfect for warmer weather.
I just wanted to thank you for recommending The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter last year. I’ve never liked spring but I adored these last year and have decided to make them a yearly listen. It makes my spring much more whimsical and a bit magical.
Couldn't have asked for more today. Thank you Desi ❤
DD, you are the embodiment of "comfy cozy"!
I ordered some of these books and color books for my granddaughters. Mailing tea cookies with them for a summer activity package. Thank you! ❤
What a wonderful surprise to see your book haul video 🌷🌷🌷
A lovely video. I think The Secret Garden and Lady Chatterley's Lover make for good Springtime reading 🌷🪺🩷.
I can't wait to get a Kindred Spirits Club sweatshirt, it's too cute!
My spring recommendations for books are:
🍯Return To The Hundred Acre Wood -David Benedictus
🌷Mandy-Julie Edward Andrews
🌼Heidi-Johanna Spyri
🍄The Lighthouse Family-Cynthia Rylant
Oh, _Heidi_ is definitely one of my favourite (spring) novels! 😄
@@_Lane_ I love it!!
@@tabithacase Yeah, me too! 😊 Along with _The secret garden_ by _Frances Hodgson Burnett_ and all of _Lucy Maud Montgomery_ 's novels - these are my all-time-favourite spring books. 😄
Ooh, I forgot about The Secret Garden! I love the Chronicles of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery!
I would really love to see a video of you coloring! I think that would be so calming and wholesome! Love your videos!!
This video was exactly what I needed. I live in the English countryside and I have to say - it is not aesthetic 😂 mostly, it rains and rains again (grey clouds, mud, all the good stuff). So we are all praying spring properly arrives soon 🥰🌼🌸🌻💐 I’ll be imagining it’s already here through books, thank you for the cosy recs!
I do enjoy the Brambly Hedge books with my children, we also enjoyed the Tum Tum and Nutmeg series, definitely cottage core!
I love the art work in Brambly hedge. It was on tv when my kid was a baby....oh,i fell in love with the cute story and artwork,so lovely. Peter rabbit is so sweet too🥰.
I love the colour of "kindred spirit".
Always happy to see a new video of my favorite RUclipsr! ❤❤❤ DarlingDesi AND books? This is heaven...
Ahhh seeing this new video made my morning! Literally tearing up at the incredible magic you’ve brought to my day ❤️
Hey Desi ! Thank you so much for the video, it made me smile so much and got me so excited for spring 🤩🤩🤩 I have a book recommendation: The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Ada Bright and Cass Grafton. IT IS SO AMAZING! Think time travel meets Jane Austen meets regency and current times Bath meets libraries 🤩🤩 I’m reading the second of the series now and I just couldn’t put it down, it’s so so good!
It’s 1am in my country haha but I really want to thank you for all you do, every time I’m having a bad day I watch one of your videos to remind me how beautiful life can be, and how little things can make such a beautiful difference! I have dysautonomia so, it’s very common for me to have bad days and, as weird as it may sound, knowing that you have been (and still are) going through health issues and still trying to live your best and most beautiful life, it’s such an inspiration for me❤ send you a biiiiiiggggg hug and all my love!!
I can’t wait for this launch. The colors are gorgeous and I can’t wait to join the Kindred Spirits Club
Thank you for not telling too much about the story! So many books to add to my TBR! The sweatshirts are beautiful!
Enchanted April is such a good movie as well! Thank you for all the recos!
I'm obsessed with all the sweatshirt designs!! they are beautiful😍
please never stop making these sweatshirts!! i love them sm :') 💌
Hi Darling Desi!! 💐 I really enjoy your content. I would love to see thrift hauls again, seasonal starter videos, probable Gilmore Read-A-Thon 2023, home decor inspiration, and those beautiful fur babies of yours make the most adorable contributions. Happy Spring Happy Easter wishing you the very best as you continue to share all the amazing content from your Darling World 🗺️
You could do a much lighter sweatshirt for summer! One for those summer nights where you can wear shorts and you just need a little something extra when the sun goes down and it’s a little bit chilly, but you’re still hanging with your friends outside
I wear cardigans all year so I would definitely wear a sweatshirt for spring. ❤❤❤ They look so pretty
Oh, how wonderful with spring! It is magic to be allowed to escape into your spring world for a little while, especially for me who lives in the arctic and have some 4 more weeks or so before the snow is gone. Thank you!
I’m so excited that you included the winter ones too!!
