a cosy week in my life 🎀 unboxing ghibli merch, reading, journalling & stationery haul 📦

[@CyrillicSanga]

Howl's Moving Castle is my favourite movie OF ALL TIME and Howl has set the standard for what I expect from men (the entire flower field as a gift to Sophie? Hellooooooooo!) If every I need to cheer myself up, I cannot think of anything better than popping on Howl's Moving Castle and having a takeaway. My little sister's favourite film is Ponyo! I just adore that film! It has a special place in my own heart as it was the first Studio Ghibli film I ever saw as a child.

[@AhyasCottage]

Hahahahaha I FEEL you!!!! Howl is such a dream, isn’t he?!😫😫 The art for Ponyo is also simply stunning and though it wasn’t my favourite ghibli film, I know just how much of a fan favourite it is😍

[@ThuyKieuTuyetXuan]

Studio Ghibli is one of my all-time favorite things ever! While if you’re like myself and you love books, reading, and Studio Ghibli-inspired stories, then Immersive Translate is for you. It’s a great way to maximize your e-reader experience. You can use it to translate everything from webpages to ebooks and beyond. If you’re a manga fan, there’s also a cool feature, where you can get accurate and detailed translations to all your favorite mangas out there, which is a total plus.

I love Whisper of The Heart! It's so wholesome and sweet. I think my favorites are Kikis Delivery Service and The Cat Returns. Have you ever read the books Hayao Miyazaki wrote about his career? It's very insightful for artists and Ghibli fans. Thank you for another lovely video!

[@AhyasCottage]

Ooooh no I haven’t, but that sounds like something I absolutely have to read!!😍 Thank you so much for your telling me and for taking the time to watch my video🥹🤎

[@alexalovesbooks]

Kiki’s Delivery Service is my all-time favorite Studio Ghibli film! I do love a lot of the others though; Whisper of the Heart is my second favorite!

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohh, Kiki’s Delivery Service is such a wonderful movie😫🐈‍⬛✨

[@joleennevarez7148]

I just finished reading When In Rome and it was absolutely lovely and sweet! I also loved the second book in her Rome, Kentucky series "Practice Makes Perfect". And now I'm about to start The Cheat Sheet as well. I'm curious to see how it compares to her Rome, Kentucky series.

[@AhyasCottage]

Ooooh Practice Makes Perfect is also on my spring tbr although I don’t own a copy of it yet!! The cover is so sweet and I’d love to see if I love it as much as I enjoyed When In Rome🙈🌸

[@juliewhite3225]

Favorite Ghibli is Totoro, Favorite movie scene all time, waiting for the cat bus in the rain. So glad you found a good condition Room with a View, and bug free! Lovely unboxing. Julie x

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohh it’s so magical, isn’t it?!! I’m so glad that I finally have a lovely copy of A Room with a View, what with all the hassle of trying to find this edition haha Thank you so much for watching the video🥰🌸

[@jamiepokoj6581]

I love My Neighbor Totoro, has to be my favorite! Grave of the Fireflies was also beautiful but broke my heart to watch!❤

[@AhyasCottage]

Oh!! That’s actually one of the few ghibli films I haven’t watched yet!! I definitely have to get round to watching it this year and am ready to have my heart broken🥹🌷

[@patriciaa65]

I got my Ghibli start with Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl’s. Totoro has gotten even more special for me because I introduced it to my three year old. It was our first film we watched in theaters. 💚

[@AhyasCottage]

Oh my goodness, that is so precious that you were able to introduce Totoro with your child🥺 It’s so special being able to share memories together with friends and family, and I feel the same way about Totoro because I grew up watching it with my little sister🥰

[@kawaiikitty4569]

Hi Ahya, good to see you back. I’m also obsessed with Studio Ghibli, I’ve seen all their films several times. My favourite is Spirited Away but I pretty much love all of them, there is something for everyone. I love Whisper of the Heart too, very innocent story where The Baron was first introduced (then in The Cat Returns). My other top favourites are Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service and Castle in the Sky (Laputa). I was fortunate to see Totoro at The Barbican and I’m also going to see the play of Spirited Away in June, really looking forward to it!

[@ArianeAnstee-nb2hy]

I love all those movies too! I unfortunately missed out on going to see Totoro at the Barbican but I’m hoping to get tickets to Spirited Away so I can go to see it with my best friend

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohh thank you so much for waiting and for enjoying the video!!🥹 I agree that there’s a huge range of movies that studio ghibli offers and how incredible to hear that you had the chance to watch Totoro at The Barbican! I’m so excited to hear that you’re going to see the play of Spirited Away in June as I’m actually going to watch it in July for my birthday too!! I hope you enjoy it🥰🌸

[@vivienne7415]

Ahh so excited to watch this! I am always so happy when you upload 🥰

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohh thank you so much!!! It means the most that you enjoy watching my videos🥹😭🤎

[@ArianeAnstee-nb2hy]

Thank you for yet another calming video Ahya 🤍 you always manage to brighten my day with these little videos. I absolutely agree about From up on Poppy Hill. It is such an underrated movie and one of my favourite studio ghibli movies too alongside whisper of the heart and my neighbour totoro and of course kiki’s delivery service ❤️❤️

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohhh thank you SO much for leaving such a kind comment🥺 it warms to my heart to hear that they brighten your day a little, and I’m so touched to hear that you enjoy watching them😭🤎 I love talking to other people who also love From Up on Poppy Hill because I agree that it’s such an underrated movie!!🌷✨

[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

Welcome back, Ahya😊 It’s so great to see a new video from you. I absolutely love Howl’s Moving Castle! I actually haven’t seen the film, but the book is amazing!! I’m glad you were able to finally find a copy of A Room with a View that you wanted. I’m currently reading it for the first time and I’m loving it so far. It sucked me in from the first page hehe. Enjoy your weekend🌸

[@AhyasCottage]

Awww thank you so much!! I’m so glad to be back after a few weeks and it means a lot to read such a kind comment, thank you😭🤎 I loved reading the book, and whilst the movie is quite different, I think it’s so wonderfully magical too😍 I was also sucked in from the very first page of A Room with a View too and I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying it so far!!🥳

[@MyCozyLife-Lisa]

@@AhyasCottage Now I must watch Howl’s Moving Castle so I can compare it to the book. I didn’t realize that they were different. It looks like it will be popcorn and a movie for me for this upcoming weekend.😂

[@tamaradickerhoof7429]

My favorites are My Neighbor Totoro, Whispers of the Heart, Up on Poppy Hill, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Howl's Moving Castle. My Hubby's favorites are Nausica Valley of the Wind, and Porco Rosso. He loves planes. He introduced me to Ghibli Studio movies. Lately, I've been listening to the soundtracks on Spotify. So beautiful.🥰

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohhh they’re all such magical films🥹 I haven’t actually watched Porco Rosso yet, but it’s definitely on my to-watch list this year🙈 I also love listening to the soundtracks too and had the privilege of listening to Joe Hisaishi performing live last year!!🌸✨

[@tamaradickerhoof7429]

@@AhyasCottage That's awesome! He's amazing!🥰😀

My favorite Ghibli is My Neighbor Totoro. Do you know what store your cousin bought those Studio Ghibli merchandise from?

[@AhyasCottage]

Ohh Totoro is such a whimsical film😍 And I’m not too sure actually, sorry! It might have been a pop-up shop🥺
