I hope you enjoyed today's video! Thank you to Blumene for sponsoring. Normally $150, with the link blumene.com/connoisseur it’s $70 off PLUS get a free ebook (Face Tightening Secrets). Thank you for watching. I hope today's video inspires you to do some nature journaling too. With love, Jennifer
I love waking up with a morning video from you. I agree, let’s remain creative as our Creator created us to be ❤
Thank you. Agreed! 😍
I also told myself that I wasn’t an artist as a child but have discovered that I am as an adult! I’ve been learning to illustrate for the past few years. It brings me so much joy! It’s never too late to discover something new about yourself.
I love this. Yes, it's never too late. What an adventure!
This book is a treasure. I used it with my children monthly in our home education days. We would sit under the trees and draw what we had collected from a walk or pictures taken. We would look things up in a field guide in order to label them. They are grown now. I miss those days. You have inspired me to dig out my old nature journal and take it up again. There is a movie made about her life with the same title. It was inspiring to watch.
I'm so glad you were inspired to bring out your nature journal!
I enjoy how open you are to becoming involved with your “total” personhood! You squeeze so much into, what appears, to be a pleasant, peaceful and grateful life. I am, at 69, realizing that it would refresh my life & attitude to release more of the past and embrace the future in new ways! I bought myself a narrow, hard-covered book titled: “The Backyard Bird Sanctuary, a Beginner’s Guide to Creating a Wild Bird Habitat at Home.” My condo is on the ground floor so my patio is down a tiny knoll from a tiny garden and 2 shepherds hooks, ready for hanging flowers and bird feeders! ❤ Our temps at night, here in NorthEast USA (yes, Jennifer, opposite coasts!) finally stopped dropping into freezing digits! Long note to thank you for being one of my favorites on RUclips ❤ Your videos & newsletters inspire & encourage🙏🏻🌷💕 PS: Your outfits were 🥰 lovely and SO YOU!
I love the idea of your bird sanctuary. Thank you so much!
The northeast is beautiful. You also have Alexandra Stoddard to be inspired by.
@@janedoe7330 Hi, there are about 30 or so Alexandra books, I read one of he first ones many years ago and I loved it! Please reply with your favorite Alexandra Stoddard books, she is amazing! Thank You
Last friday i took my kids nature journaling at a local park. I was fascinated by the many mud nests we saw attached to the side of the nature center there. I figured they were made by the swallows we saw diving over the pond. I was surprised and a little amused to see that a couple of house sparrows had decided to "borrow" one of the mud nests for their own and were busily packing one of the mud nests full of grass and other vegetation. I had to draw a little ink drawing of it in my sketch book. It isn't a fine work of art, but it was something I made in the moment and will help me to remember it later on.
Keturah
I have three older copies of her books (there are two) and biography. There is also a film on dvd about her short life that ended so tragically. She was so talented and I have always been grateful to her for leaving these journals for the world to enjoy.
Oh my Jennifer. I just came upon your RUclips channel last week, and I have been binge watching you ever since. You give me such joy and such hope that I cannot even find the words. Thank you for sharing your life with us and your ideas and ideals. I bought your books and cannot wait to drive in.
Love that book, it’s one I go back to year after year. I love her combination of art, poetry and musings - her summer trip to Scotland is near where I say so that makes it extra interesting. It became really popular in the 80s when it was reproduced in calendars, notelets, etc… and I’ve loved it ever since
Those peach roses are stunning, that's my favorite color rose!
This is one of my favourite books. Just loved nature journaling with my children during our homeschooling days....they are all grown up now, but i still enjoy nature journaling.
I'm glad you're still doing it!
I have enjoyed the Country Diary journal since the 1980's. So happy you are too. I usually pull it out this time of year when all is beginning to bloom and grow. Some of our flowers in Spring, here in Illinois, are ephemerals, so this year I am picking some and pressing into my journal with notes of when they bloomed.
Your roses are beautiful! I feel like I can almost smell them!
Your flowers sound beautiful too!
What you said about your sister and art is exactly what I did as a child. My sister is a very gifted artist so I always labeled that as her thing. My grandpa was a watercolor painter and he would give her lessons when he visited but I never joined in even though I wanted to because I wasn’t the painter. A few years ago as an adult I realized I could learn how to paint even if I wasn’t a natural at it so I started learning watercolors. I regret that I missed the chance to learn from my grandpa while he was still with us, but I’m enjoying learning now.
My mother lived in NY and bought the Country Diary book at Rizzoli when it first came out. She died in 2002, and I still have her copy, which I cherish. At one time I owned a DVD of Edith’s nature writings based on the book, which was visually beautiful with lovely accompanying music. I don’t know if it was ever made available on CD, or one of the streaming platforms. If you can find it, it is well worth viewing. Thanks for a lovely video.
Oh, that sounds amazing! I need to find it! Thank you for letting me know...
I love this book. I had mine for over 40 years and still love it. The location of the book is only 20 miles or so from my childhood home.
What is the location?
My aunt gave my this book when I was 2 and I’ve kept it ever since. I love it. I like to read what she did certain days and compare the weather I’m having to hers.
Beautiful dress. Art takes many forms. My art is my home.
I already had bought that facial device, only a different brand? And it is amazing..(but only with consistancy!)🌸
This video is one of your best ever. The painting shots filmed outside in nature are so beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you! Evan filmed the forest shots! He did a great job.
Beautiful roses my favorite flower too. Your dress is very pretty 😍
Love the book,It’s indeed a keeper. When my kids were little I used to read to them as a monthly diary. The illustration is stunning. And now I have it in my coffee table. Jennifer ,I usually don’t comment a lot due to a busy schedule being a full-time caretaker for my elderly lovely mother. But I recently started making time for two RUclipsrs that make my day go by nicer.Inspired by Nikki and your channel make me happy.❤ Love your writing in Victoria magazine. May/June is lovely .
I love that you are trying your hand at art! And thank you for sharing the beautiful Edwardian journal.
This also reminds me of you and Ben's clueless Gardners series, it was fun!
After church, our Sundays have time for letter writing, art, and hobbies. My children have thanked me for instilling this habit.
Hello Jennifer,
Your video brought some much needed feelings of "calmness" 😔 to my day. I sincerely hope some of that same (calmness) is there for yourself too. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
That meal your daughter prepared looked delicious, and the final presentation on the plate was beautiful too.
That looked a really beautiful book. The roses were so pretty. It’s so nice and peaceful to be out in nature. 🙂🌺
I value your calm video's, they are a nice reminder to enjoy my career as an English teacher.
How lovely that The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady was featured in your video Jennifer! I remember it from many years ago and the TV series based on it (I think on the BBC) that came out around 1984. From Susan in the Netherlands.
I love The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. I got this copy several years ago and it is so beautiful! I always look forward to your videos. It's always a surprise that I look forward to, and seeing what new treasures and wisdom you have to share with us. This video was so enjoyable. I have been wanting to get some water colors for the longest but didn't think I would have the talent but this was just the push I needed. I had the sweetest thing happen yesterday which you don't see often anymore but a little neighbor girl brought me a personally made May day basket. I was so touched and plan to get a little gift to thank her for it. I just had to share this moment. 💐💖
That is really cute :)
@@softsophisticateThank you and it was a sweet gesture and made my day. Specifically, because I don't see that done anymore. 😊
I have the Country Diary book of Knitting! Not that I’ve ever knit up any of the patterns but I like looking at the photos and illustrations for inspiration. They are in the same colours and style as the nature notes. But with matching knits for the season! 🧶🧶
Jennifer, ❤what an inspiration you are! ❤
Compliments forthcoming! I’ve read her book and your video was beautifully done! Your watercolor painting was very good. I consider myself an artist in my mind, but was not gifted with that talent. Nonetheless, I still attempt painting, illustrating Scripture or quotes because I enjoy it so much. I think the dress you’re wearing is my favorite one so far. I will watch this video again as it was so calming and peaceful.
Ah, thank you so much!
This was such a beautiful video! I often have RUclips playing whilst I do my house chores but I always actively watch your videos because they are so stunning and the beauty soothes me. Thank you for the book recommendation. It sounds like something I would love to read this summer.
This is such a beautiful video! Every video in your channel is uplifting and meaningful! I have been reminded to stop and enjoy nature and art and poetry and music. In our fast paced lives it has been rewarding to be reminded to stop and enjoy what is all around us. Thank you for these beautiful videos. I really appreciate your content!
Oh, thank you so much
I so agree 😊🌷
Oh Jennifer you are a treasure. Thank you for this beautiful feast for the eyes to nourish our creativity. It is such a wonderful reminder to cultivate the beauty that is surrounding us. To seek it out and make our daily living one that doesn't let the mundane moments slip away without noticing something to be thankful for. You inspire me so greatly.
I would love to grow roses and will look into that thank you!
Love the Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. Another book you might enjoy is A Country Women’s Year by Rosemary Verey (Forward by H.R.H. The King of England) Love your water colours!❤
Dear Jennifer, my three little girls and I just had you over for tea time… a delicious sourdough carrot cake with various warm drinks on a rainy NC afternoon. Our table was set with beeswax candles, Rosenthal “Sanssouci” white China and a low bouquet of pink roses. My phone was held up by a book of nature poetry, several nature guides and… “The Secret Garden”… which we will now proceed to read a chapter in. My youngest would like you to know that we have the Connoisseur Kids book and they are all sitting and eating in a very Connoisseur Kiddish way (a phrase that often bounds around the house!) thank you for this wonderfully relaxing video! Love, Stephanie and girls 💐
I love this so much. Please give your girls my best! ♥️
Love the green and white dress. It looks so beautiful on you!
Thank you for introducing that book. It's beautiful and I shall certainly get it. I love all your outfits! You have such a beautiful yard!
Hi Jennifer! Oh my goodness, that was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I loved every second!! Thank you!! I have had Edith's book for quite a while. I share your appreciation for nature journaling and nature in general. I'm so looking forward to Saturday! See you then! With love, Kellie
Thank you, Kellie! Can't wait for the Zoom call!
Hi Jennifer. What a beautiful spring dress you have on!!! I'm really enjoying seeing you in videos where u r out of the house. Can u plse do more.
🤩 Also may i request an outfits of the week video. I'm currently doing some serious decluttering of my own closet.
Watching your videos is really helping me. Thankyou.
Cheers Beverley xx ❤😊
This was a beautiful video. Your videos are so comforting and a joy to watch. I also own the book by Edith Holden. I am also a nature painter and an art enthusiast. Again, I am so thankful for you. Just finished reading two of your books.
Ok ordered the book! Perfect in time for vacation at the beach. I love this video. Everything about it. Jennifer, I think we would be famous friends. Enjoy your day❤
Always loving waking up to seeing a new video from you. 🌸💜
Your roses are simply gorgeous! I was in the Hudson Valley last weekend and discovered Coffee Break roses. You might love them too! Loved this video. And I bought the book. 🌸💜
Ooh, Coffe Break roses sound amazing!
That toast looks delicious. Definitely making this. What a great idea!
So glad you introduced this book. I received a copy in 1980 & never miss a year reading the journal. Thanks for another great video!
I love that book, I got it over a year ago and would read each month as it came. It is so interesting and beautiful, definitely a walk back in time. Beautiful video Jennifer, there is nothing compared to spending time with the natural world! ❤🌳🌿🌺
So true, DeAnna!
Absolutely beautiful roses! Please let us know what type they are, there are so many varieties.
What a lovely way to spend self-care time!❤ Your youngest has grown! Much love to you.
I know that I don't have the talent to draw or paint in a way that looks like a photocopy of what I'm seeing, so I gave up on drawing and painting a long time ago. But, you said that you are capturing the trees they appear in your mind. Well, I think I'd like to try that. I'm inspired. Thank you!
I hope you will try again!
BE INDIVIDUALISTIC AND DO YOUR OWN ART! IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL, TO YOU AND TO THE WORLD, IF YOU WANT TO SHARE IT. EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT TASTE.
I hope you will draw and/or paint. I have found that even a few lines can bring up the image and feeling of a place better than a photograph. Most of all, enjoy the process 💖
@@victoriaquezada Thank you for this!
@@kathycooper8449 Great advice!
If you are interested in doing an even deeper dive into nature journaling, may I suggest John Muir Laws. He has a RUclips channel dedicated to nature journaling.
I will check him out. Thank you!
@@TheDailyConnoisseurJennifer can you make a video on your favorite RUclips channels, Instagram pages, and apps?
There are endless ways to do nature journaling. I just saw a course on flower pressing.
@@sherylchapman4168 she's shown herself doing flower pressing in past videos
I have been meaning to get that book! Im so excited to watch this!
I hope you enjoy the video!
How do you organize your days, between work, housework, children, personal time, garden. You seems to have time for all. You inspire me on a daily bases but as far as I'm concerned, it's difficult to make all but maybe I have to change my way to to things😂
I'm always in a rush and when I see you, you make things in calm and elegance❤
I have a lot of help! But these videos are meant to inspire and hopefully they do...
Yes. I'm wondering the time span of these activities? A week/a few weeks/a month?
@@TheDailyConnoisseurplease make a video on specifically what you use for "help"
I love all the videos that you make :) But i would like to ask for some advice, i am definitely an introvert and i enjoy spending lots of time alone, just gardening, taking care of my mental health and caring for my house. But the last few years i've noticed that i spend less and less time with friends, possibly do to the fact that i had to end a few friendships, but now did i become too comfortable being alone a-lot? I am married and two cats haha! Any advice on how to have balance and possibly still hang out with other individuals? I guess what scares me a bit that i don't try much anymore to go out and meet new people xoxo
Church? Voluntary Work? Evening Class? Local WI? Exercise or dancing classes?
I like spending time at home and for me, over the years, friends come and go as we move around and so do others. Covid didn't help.
Beautiful video!
This was so wonderful ❤
WOW ...thanks for sharing such beauty..indeed an art.
Just beautiful!
What a beautiful video! Thank you! ❤
I just ordered that book for my daughter. Lovely video.
Thanks. I needed this. So calming after a troubled day.😊
Your roses were stunning!
Such a peaceful retreat of a day!
Awe Jennifer! I have that book on my bedside table! In fact, a beloved neighbor of mine gave me a second copy. It’s one of my treasures. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Xoxo,
Lindy
Jennifer, so beautifully said that our journals are our own. Too often I want to follow rules in areas where I can just be creative.
Thank you for all the hard worl you put into your smazing videos!
So good to see someone else who likes this book. I own a beautiful copy of it and always helps me to reflect on life and its beauty. Thanks Jennifer for the video.
Thank you!
Love your dress!
Thank you!
Hello! I loved this video and i am so glad that you are still making lovely things for us to enjoy. As for me, I'm working on another novel LOL.....
Hi Jennifer! Lovely video! I have just discovered water color pens and really enjoy using them. The green and white dress is gorgeous! I place it up there with your Rungolee dresses. 😊
Thank you! My kids like using watercolor pens too!
Did you realise your first outfit shown is a touch Edwardian?
A while ago I looked up what Edwardian fashion was and apparently the most popular look was a long, plain skirt and white blouse. You will see this in many photos of the era. The reason for the fashion for a white blouse was that it signalled the lady was wealthy. White clothes stain quickly and are seen as a bit impractical. However, a wealthy lady could afford to wear her blouse just once and have her maids wash it to get the stains out, starch and iron it so it looked pristine again.
It is interesting that you are drawn to white clothes, such as white dresses.
They do look lovely and of course today we have washing machines which, living over 100 years ago, Edwardian ladies didn't have.
My Mum had that book - The diary of an Edwardian Lady. I think it was published in the 70's and was always on the bookshelf in our home when I was a child. There also used to be spin-off items such as note-cards and writing sets, diaries, tea-cosies and tea towels etc.
I too like water colour painting. For me it is all about spending time in nature, slowing down and really looking, you do see a lot more than what you initially see. The best thing is, when I look at my paintings years later, I am immediately transported back to the place where I was sitting and remember how I felt, what I saw, what the weather was like etc. My favourite painting was done when we were driving past a field of bright red poppies and I asked my husband to stop the car so I could paint it. I had my paints on me. We sat for a while and then we noticed some ears popping up above the tall grasses. Then bodies emerged - a herd of deer that came quite close to us - magical,
Enjoy painting, as you know, t is not about how good you are, but enjoying being out in nature and observing and enjoying it.
Last night, for the first time this year, here in the UK, it was finally warm enough for me to sit out on my balcony and I enjoyed it, with a glass of wine and watched all the different types of birds fly by. We live next to a nature reserve on an estuary so we have an abundance of birdlife - woodland birds and water fowl. The highlight was a large heron flying past.
Enjoy.
Where's the episode about nature journaling?? I can't find it! I LOVE this book. I have a vintage copy. ❤
"The Edwarden lady likely did not do, unless she jumped into a stream" she drowned in March 1920 only 48 years old.
I had no idea this was how she died. Thank you for letting me know. ♥
Jennifer you are very brave to paint in white! 😮 I spilled coffee on my freshly laundered sweatshirt a few days ago and was pissed! 😅
The scene at 4:10 is so pretty. I fully expected Peter Rabbit himself to make an appearance! I guess I was getting Beatrix Potter vibes. 😁🐇🌳🎨 This video inspired me to get out my book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (which was gifted to me by my artist sister, who says anyone can draw but I’ve never been convinced of that in myself either!) Thank you for your example and sharing the beauty. 💛
I have this book open at this very page in my hall...! ❤
Wow!
Yum I want some of that lunch.
My daughter makes the best dishes!
Thank you for another beautiful video! There is a documentary on RUclips I think you would enjoy. It is called "Many Beautiful Things" and documents the life of Lilias Trotter, a watercolor artist. She too kept nature journals, and they were exquisite.
Thank you for this recommendation!
Jennifer..one thing I’d love your recommendation on is where to find “real” 100% cotton hankies with beautiful embroidery. I ordered some from Amazon and sent them back because even though it said cotton it was polyester. Stiff and really slick feeling..horrible! My Grandmother would give me beautiful handkerchiefs as a little girl..wish I still had them.
Etsy!!! That's where I get mine
I’m correcting my previous comment - Country Diary was filmed for VHS (videocassette) format years ago. I don’t know if it ever was ever transferred to DVD. What I had was the videocassette. 😊
Hi. I was wondering what size of lake green dress did you buy. I bought small which is my but it seems too big
I'm a perfectionist (unfortunately) and it has always made me think, despite a bit of natural talent, that I am not yet an artist as I don't consider my work to be as good as I know I can be and certainlynot as good as "real" artists. I am so critical of myself! It also makes me fear doing anything because I'm "not good at it." I am trying so hard to claim the title of artist for myself, but I'm not all the way there yet! Thank you for a little point in a better direction. ❤
Just start - and treat each new endevour as a practice run / experiment. Before you know it, you will both improve and via experimenting will find your own style. Get going and see where it takes you.
❤
🥰
I’m never this early! ❤
I'm glad you're here!
jennifer, you are so lovely. i wish you were my neighbor
