    The Gilden Age is very enlighting, but to the fact that it is based in New York. I am from New York and love the history that the show portrays. Just like Downton Abby had so much history being portrayed. They both have similarities the fashion, history, and drama.

    I downloaded the Spring Commonplace Guidebook today and absolutely adore it. It is a wonderful spring gift! It is so great to know of someone else who has the same adoration of nature as I do. Also, I am 74 years old and have never read The Wind In The Willows. My husband is out of town and mentioned that he will be stopping at a bookstore. I gave him a list and 1st on it is The Wind In The Willows!

    I have had a similar car experience and have a car that has all kinds of buttons on it that I never use. Somehow the buttons occasionally turn on. I finally found a button on my steering wheel that turns everything off. I used my red nail polish and
    marked it so that when that happens I can turn the annoying things OFF ! Happy Easter to each of you. Thanks for another lovely video!

    Dear Miranda, your vlog is a wonderful way to celebrate Spring! You are the image of Spring in your gorgeous dress…
    In Italy we don’t have anything similar to an Easter tree and I find the idea absolutely lovely : I think I’ll start a new tradition and I’m already looking forward to decorating it!! We only put a branch of olive tree in our home on Palm Sunday ( today) as a sign of blessing and protection for the family but it is a religious tradition and it’s not the same thing. Have a joyful Easter time with your dear mum.❤

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  Год назад +1

      Thank you so much, Laura, for your kind comments. The tradition of using an olive branch in your home in Italy on Palm Sunday as a sign of blessing is lovely! I’m so glad you’re thinking of making your own Easter tree as part of your Easter traditions too. I enjoy collecting the ornaments and decorating it so much every year! 🐣💐❤️

    Hello Miranda and Donna, I so enjoyed your vlog and I’ve been dipping into your Spring Commonplace Book Guide. I had to smile at Donna’s story of the incident at the supermarket. I’m sure we’ve all been there when the unexpected happens in a vehicle. I can’t imagine an opportunity to use cruise control on most British roads, as they are far too crowded. Enjoy your Easter break and I hope the sun shines for you.

    That gorgeous lamb running to mum at the beginning! Have signed up for your newsletter and so going to look forward to sitting down with a cup of tea and looking through your Spring Commonplace book guide - what a lovely idea. Thank you for taking the time to put it together and make it available to us! Having had a few rough months coming away from a long term relationship, watching your beautifully made videos again has made me feel calm and comforted and able to connect with all the things I love. I have needed that so much. Thank you!!

    Miranda, I wanted to suggest and share the name of a book Im still reading called , ‘ The Light of the Midnight Stars’ abt a Jewish family, but mainly the three sisters of that family.
    They all have special gifts and as well as the whole family whom all are descendants of King Solomon. But there are secrets that must be kept to their people.
    Its magical and has some truth ! In really enjoying it and its taking me on an interesting journey.
    It caught my attention as I was looking for different books to read and since I’m part jewish I thought it might be interesting to read something in a fearie tale type style.
    🌸 thanks for all you share with us and your an inspiration to keeping us all interested in Reading! 🌸

    Hello Miranda and mum! I truly needed to read The Wind and the Willows. Life has been so depressing I needed this escape. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 1966 edition was illustrated by our beloved Tasha Tudur. U.S gardener and illustrator. I was also reading over the Buttery Shelf Almanac also illustrated by her. Ah... bring on sweet spring! Hugs to you both! CaT

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  Год назад +1

      Those are two lovely books and so suited to Tasha Tudor's style! I''m so glad you had a beautiful edition of TWITW to make the experience of reading it even more special ❤️📚

    Hello! What a lovely box of delightful Easter and spring ornaments! I just found your channel today and have shared it with a kindred spirit friend who also loves cottagecore and books and all things British. As I sit here sipping a cup of Yorkshire tea with sweet cream, after just having ordered a tin of chocolate and mint tea sachets, I will continue watching this video with a smile on my face for having found you. I know I will be binging on your videos until I'm caught up and will be looking forward to your new ones. As a "bookaphile" myself, I can't wait to see your reviews. 🙂As a little aside, I am from Pennsylvania in the US, have visited England many times and am sorry that it's not in my future to return to a place I love.

    Thank you so much for your guide on Commonplace Book in the Spring Time. I love what you have lovingly put together. It's beautiful! I'm definitely going to start a Commonplace Book. I do hope you do this again. It's lovely. I will have to wait awhile for Spring to use it. It's autumn here in Australia. 😂
    Thank you! Happy Easter to you & Donna. Continue with enjoying Spring & your little holiday. ❤❤

    Thank you for the lovely commonplace book download. It’s beautiful. It has your special artistic touch.
    It clearly took a lot of work on your part. And your efforts and sharing are deeply appreciated.
    Enjoy your well deserved holiday. Your taking breaks is an example for all of us. Work is important. But enjoying our days in a more relaxing manner is vital to our physical and mental health.
    I look forward to your next vlog.
    Take care and God bless you and your family.

    I love your videos. It is obvious you put a lot of thought to them. I can relate to remembering a childhood book that the name escapes you. I once read a book as a child that I cannot remember the name of. I had taken it out from the library. It was about a girl name Laura who went to summer camp. Some day maybe my mind will unfreeze or I will run across it. Cheers have a lovely Easter.

    Another very lovely vlog! I enjoy them so much. I wish you and your mom a blessed and enjoyable Easter holiday! You mentioned once that your mom is an amputee. I have that in common with her. I think I must be about the same age as your mother, and I have been an amputee (both legs at the knee) since I was 3 years old because of a birth defect. I love both of you so much! You are such nice ladies and you know how to create alot of beauty in your lives, and share it with us! 😊❤

    Hi Miranda, I laughed so hard when your Mom told her funny story about her car ! I totally understand her feeling of panic ! That was such a thoughtful gift you gave your Mom,looks like such a beautiful book. It was amazing how your Mom remembered the book you read as a child, and was able to find a copy for you. Your Easter Tree and decorations came out so beautiful, and all the pretty tulips,and flowers placed all over your house. Your Pasta dish looked so delicious, I love Pesto sauce ! Wishing you and your Mom a Happy Easter ! Hope you enjoy your time off ! Love your lemon dress ! Happiness, Cindy

    Donna, the same thing happened to me years ago with the heretofore unknown cruise control function in my car suddenly turning on-and I had no idea what it was or what I had done. I was just totally freaked out since I was (ironically) highway driving at the time. Fortunately my passenger calmed me down and helped me figure it out, and I’ve been happily making use of it ever since. But every time I do I remember that panicky feeling.

    • @MirandaMills

    Cherry blossom and lambs. What a lovely way to start a vlog, especially one celebrating spring. I love the idea of an Easter tree, I might have to do that next year. You always get me with the food. I loooove pesto, had pistachio pesto in Italy last month. It was incredible! Ps. My mum and I are planning a bookish road trip round Yorkshire later this month!

    That little lamb scampering along at the start! ☺️
    Hey, The Wind Boy! I read that around this time last year. I had ordered it secondhand and was delighted to find a hardcover came in the post even though I expected paperback. It has the same beautiful watercolour artwork as your edition. It definitely holds up as a light, fun read. It's full of magical realism; by the end, I was never 100% sure how much of the magic was real vs. embellished (i.e., the children's way of imbuing their world with wonder). If I had to compare its vibes to other children's classics, I'd liken it to Five Children & It, The Princess & the Goblin, and Pollyanna. You're in for a treat!

    Hi Miranda! I'm taking some time to slowly catch up on old videos that I haven't seen yet, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I loved the bookshelf tour, as I'm always trying to squint to read the spines whenever you film in front of them. :-) Now I won't have to, since I know what's there! As for my own vintage collection, I don't seek out any particular series or authors, but I do collect books that have meaningful inscriptions. One of my favorites is a copy of Nicholas Nickleby inscribed "Nellie & Fred, Birthday 1891, from Mother," with a flourish underneath. I always wonder which of the twins got to read it first. :-) Also, I will never own too many vintage copies of The Wind and the Willows and A Child's Garden of Verses!

"Homecoming" is on my preorder list at the library so I was happy to hear you are enjoying it and "Heartburn" is an old favorite of mine. Just hearing the title makes me crave a pot of mashed potatoes. Donna, You had me laughing out loud, mostly at myself as I can not tell you how many times I have had to search through my car manual in a state of panic after hearing a strange beep or bling in my car and most recently when I couldn't remember how to reset my clock when the time changed.
