The House Witch is an AMAZING series. So underrated and so so cozy

[@Lillyjoy]

It’s on my tbr!😊

[@journalingdragon8914]

The House Witch is such a fun cozy series. I loved it🔔📖🕯

[@nanimaonovi2528]

You have a bag of books, but worry about lounge wear taking up too much luggage space. I relate so much!

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

Me, an American who has been to London once in my life: I LOVE THE TUBE!!! Journaling moments in a coffee shop and book shopping in Europe, how does it feel to live MY DREAMS 🥹💕

[@mochi.kitkat]

that tarot deck truly is stunning!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Right? Obsessed 😍

[@lucasluckproductions]

TBR: The House Witch. Thank you

[@BrookeReadsBooks333]

I just made my first order in shop dixi, I see you have many of the rings from there on. I’m sooooo excited!!!! 🤍🪄

[@msellenandrea]

Ooh, I also want to try Beauty of Joseon! I think I'm gonna start with a sunscreen, because I've heard great things! (and I can justify it haha)

[@andra7481]

🎡 it’s been so lovely to catch up 🥹🫶🏻💖 and so cool to see London through your lens 🥰 I might need to go and get the Mythos deck too now that you’ve shown it in its full shiny glory 😂✨

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

You’ll walk away with half that shops tarot collection soon 😂

[@MsTimmy1987]

LOVED this video! Thank you for sharing! ❤️🌈📚

[@AmbWitch]

That fantasy exhibition looked amazing. What was the weird rabbitlike, monsterlike, outfit thing?

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

Great vlog x I have just received my Witch Sisters tarot , by Julia Jeffrey all based on Scottish folklore and wow it’s so powerful and the art is off the scale trust me you will lovvvve it 🧟‍♀️ so Celtic

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🫶🏻🤎

[@eliza.the.earthling]

Ashleigh, your vlogs are so charming and chill. It’s cool to see you go to London because I’ll be visiting next month and I’m so excited to go again and just walk around, go to bookshops and sit in cute cafes 🥰

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you! 🥹 I hope you have the best time in London!

[@KatieColson]

Omg I ADORE Hadestown! I clicked on this video so fast when I saw that playbill. 🐳🐋

[@BasyNightshade]

love this vlog❤. and early happy birthday ashley, my birthday is next week too. on the 11 of march♓🤣

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Happy birthday to you too!!

[@ReadingNymph]

I love K beauty products, Pure Soul is my go to shop. The tetris game for books and clothes is one all bookworms become masters at 😅

[@janet5123]

🎡love seeing the London shops. Especially the witchy shops with the crystals and tarot. You’re getting to be quite the traveler!!

[@kwilder1]

🎡 Somehow you make being in a city cozy. Appreciate the book recs from your trip. ^^

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I’m so glad, I always find it hard to match the cosy vibes elsewhere!

[@inkdrinkerhana]

omg. Before The Devil's Know You're Here is a great book! Totally recommend it ❤

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Omg glad to hear that! I hadn’t heard anyone’s thoughts on it yet, purely bought it based on vibes 😂

[@MilenaReads]

I got my husband the same back pack a while ago and he loves it too! The tarot cards look so pretty.

[@Jonathan-B_]

What a wonderful looking trip! This made me really want to visit London someday. Hope the time had matched how it looked!

[@alannahatkins9230]

❤❤❤❤ Love this so much!!!

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

Loved this vlog! I would DIE to get to go to London! I live in the US in Virginia. Unfortunately, I’ll never see London because I am home bound and cannot leave where my doctors are. ☹️ However, I get to see the best of it through your vlogs! I LOVED the esoteric shops you went in! OMG, just so great! I loved the Mythos tarot that you got and I’ll get that from Amazon. I also put some of the books that you bought on my Amazon list. 🎡 Does this count as a wheel picture? 😂

[@Emiliemooles]

Ahhh you saw Hadestown! I’m so jealous but you’ve made me want to prioritise it! I love that you were reunited with Andra. So lovely! 💙 Your copy of House Witch is so pretty! 😍 I’m definitely going to have to buy it at some point! 🎡

[@sakurahan91]

It’s called an applicator. Love the cards.

[@tiasmith1093]

🎡 I'm going to London next weekend and, like you, I'm excited to browse all of the shops I usually can't. I'm glad you had a good time!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Hope you enjoy it! Do you have any plans so far?

[@tiasmith1093]

@@AFrolicThroughFiction Nothing concrete so far, but I want to visit Daunt Books as I've never been before!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

@@tiasmith1093 it’s a beautiful bookstore!

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

I love your vlogs!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you 🥹🫶🏻

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Those satiny pyjamas would be so cute!

[@sb3626]

🎡 this was just so fun!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@saramm3765]

Happy Birthday! I have that tarot deck and Before The Devil Knows You're Here and love both.

[@anikamercier2651]

This was sooo fun to watch!! 🎡

[@PumpkinLady11]

I loved this vlog. You got so many lovely things.

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

Thank you!! 😊

[@bethmetcalf3447]

Happy Birthday Ashley 🎂🥂🎡

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

🎡☸I'm not sure which one you meant. Thank you for the fun tour of London. PS Hamilton is great!

[@speaking_bookish]

I feel like that might not be the first in the series? They all say house witch on them so it’s possible it’s a sequel but I’m just speculating!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

It’s the first in the series! 🥰

[@martacox8411]

Gorgeous tarot 🛞

[@dushkaahmad1248]

You’re so cute!! I love your vlogs :’)

[@tiarose1999]

Is it me or does Ashley’s left inside eye look bigger than the right towards the end of the video but it might just be the angle of the video tbh love finding out about the new skin care and book recommendations
