Mini Stationery Haul + More Favourite Things

[@GinaHouse]

Beautiful stationary! I loved seeing cards from your collection - what a treat! Thank you for showing the inside of Field, Flower, Vase - I'm always dying to see the inside of any book. It looks gorgeous. I'm also a fan of oolong tea - especially the Milk Oolong from The Republic of Tea. If you ever want to try a sweetly scented oolong that smells almost creamy, look into that one :) Love your cross-stitch progress so far! I wish I was able to cross-stitch. I used to love it - the little spools of colorful threads always cheered me up. Thank you for sharing such a fun and uplifting video today - your smile and laughter are infectious! xoxo :D

I loved the Mark Heald hen card so much I paused your video and ordered one for my kitchen windowsill! I think listening to an audio book whilst hand sewing is one of the most relaxing, and mindful ways to spend time. Glad to hear your mum is healing well. Isn't it lovely to find a skin care regime that suits your needs - I like something with a nice smell too, otherwise it can feel a bit medicinal. This was a lovely video as always Miranda and I hope your new routine is working well for you and you are finding a better balance x

Thank you so much, Miranda!!! It is an honor to be featured on one of your videos. I hope Field, Flower, Vase brings lots of joy and inspires lots of spring flower arrangements!!! I love seeing Alicia Paulson on here too. I think her blog was one of the first I read. The gift cards are exquisite!! A joy as always to watch! xoxo

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Chelsea! It was so exciting to have your book turn up, and I can’t wait to read it properly! 😊💐🌷💕

Kazuo Ishiguro would have had to contend with a contingent of disgruntled Friday Tea Reads fans...! I'm grateful you were able to put him aside. Your angst did not show, whatsoever, on camera. :) My favorite thing this week is happening as I type, our first taste of spring! A breeze is whistling through the window screens and rustling the curtains. The colors are almost haunting, the pale yellow grass and soft spring light giving the day that sepia tone of an old photograph--the perfect day to step back in time and read a book from a different century. I can't wait to check out Neptune Magazine. And The Simple Things, which I've had an eye on for a while. The new Slightly Foxed arrived a few days ago, and I'm so eager to leaf through it. This was a joy to watch--thank you!

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

I dearly love your videos! It’s like having a friend to go to all the time💕

[@angelaspielbusch1237]

I can’t believe how many things I have in common with you! I am so fortunate to have found your site❤️

[@karenwhite2601]

Such gorgeous cards! I can never resist a lovely card and will be buying some of these. I immediately ordered the 'Stories' magazine and love the look of 'Simple Things' too.

[@valentinajacome]

Love this video.iIt’s calmimg, and filed with lovely ideas.

[@beckyocole]

I love Alicia Paulson too! I made one of her felt rabbits for Rupert for his birthday! x

[@gracetaylor7351]

Really enjoy your video thank you!! 🙂

[@x.bev.x3006]

What a lovely way to start a wet and windy Sheffield day. ☺. All the posts you do, on all platforms, are beautifully presented and a joy to watch. Loved it Miranda.

[@heathersummers6815]

Great video! Hope you’re doing great! Will look for that tea!

[@valentinajacome]

Love that you mentioned “simple things” as I’ve been curious about it

[@CAROLINAPARISLONDON]

I’m definitely in the stationary club too! Love, love, love cards, notebooks and pens ever since I was little. Thank you for this lovely favorite video which I thoroughly enjoyed with my cup of tea. ☺️😉✨

[@DianeC1975]

Enjoyed very much. The cards are beautiful. I also enjoy the backgrounds of your vlogs, they are always so thoughtfully composed. Nicely done Miranda. 👍💕

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much, Diane! I’m so pleased with these cards 😊

[@sandyokey7728]

The cards are beautiful, I love the cabaret girls! The florals are always my favorites too. The daffodils on your table are just so lovely, I saw them in your instagram post also and they immediately put a smile on my face.💕

[@lindseymoore1292]

What a treat, today, Miranda - you've managed to pack so much in! I love the cover of the Kitty Barne book. I had no idea about the Neptune magazine, thanks so much for mentioning it, I've ordered the next copy and will be browsing the others online. The selection of cards was gorgeous and a lovely heralding of springtime and Easter. I love fold-out and pop-out cards, too. I know you've featured the beautiful Cambridge Imprint papers already, and I've bought a few of their 3D cards . Have a lovely week!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Lindsey! I haven’t looked at Cambridge Imprint’s cards for a while so I must pop over to their website soon 😊 Enjoy your week too!

[@homesweethomehandmade]

Hi Miranda thanks so much for this video, really enjoyed it! I had to order the tri fold bird nest card and trim fold rabbits card straight away as perfect Easter cards. I also ordered a copy of the stories magazine. Please do another favourites video again as I enjoyed it so much. Best wishes Natalie x

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you Yumi! xxx

[@elecole71]

I loved Brat Farrar. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about it before. Such a gem. Great video!! 😊❤📚

[@Emma_S76]

Lovely video Miranda, with lots of interesting recommendations. Really enjoyed watching as always. Thank you 💕!

[@xxyy551]

Hello Miranda! I am a new subscriber and I am so glad that I found your channel! It popped up in my recommendations one day. Even though I don't read a lot of novels I really enjoy your videos and I could listen all das to your lovely voice and accent ☺️. There is really something soothing to your videos which helps me during my healing from depression and chronic pain. Your mom is so sweet too!! Thank you for all the work you do! 💜 Greetings from Switzerland

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you very much for your kind words. I’m so glad you found my channel and are enjoying my videos 😊💕

Hello Miranda. I am a bit behind this week and have just gotten to this video. As usual, I enjoyed everything about this episode, however, I literally squealed with joy when you talked about and showed your very lovely cross stitch project. I have cross stitched for nearing 40 years and it is my true passion and keeps me sane. Is the fabric you are working on a lilac shade? I have not heard of that artist, but her style is very beautiful and delicate which I adore. I hope you continue to show your progress and would love to see your previous finished projects. Does your mom cross stitch as well. Of course, I love your stunning cards. I purchased a really pretty card for my neighbor last night that has beautiful floral artwork but also contains a vintage style handkerchief that is foldedto become part of the design. I had not seen them before, but I love them. I also appreciate the sharing of some of your skin care favorites. The cleanser sounds very soothing. I am looking forward to Tea Reads. Take care.......Crystal.

[@elizabethbrink3761]

The stationery is so fun! I just put in an order at One Brown Cow. Thank you for letting us know about so many lovely things. I have plans to send a couple of the pop-out cards to friends with little kids. I look forward to spotting these on your Instagram.

[@teresaparkins1255]

Hi Miranda, I have to admit that I have sadly neglected my skin care routine in the last year and your recommendation for these Kiehl's creams are very timely, thank you. Thank you for the recommendation for "Cheerful Weather for the Wedding" read by Miriam Margolyes which I downloaded to listen to whilst I stitch and I will add today's to my wish-list too. Your pattern is very pretty and I hope you have fun working on it. Enjoy the rest of your week, Teresa 🌸📚🌸🪡🧵🌸

[@rimaadib8774]

Hello Miranda! I loved seeing your beautiful cards and thanks so much for providing links. I believe Kitty Barne’s husband was related to Noel Streatfeild. I agree, TROTD is my favorite Ishiguro. I think there is a relationship between NLMG and KATS. What I love about his writing is how it stays with you xxx

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you, Rima! Yes, he was a cousin of Noel Streatfeild’s father, I think. That’s why a lot of Kitty Barne’s books are illustrated by Ruth Gervis (Noel Streatfeild’s eldest sister) xxx

[@melanieandbookstacks]

I’ve just placed an order for some of those lovely cards at the beginning of the video. Looking forward to using them/displaying them. Thank you. Melanie 💐

[@maryhlavin5986]

Beautiful suggestions 💗

[@angelahunnel9425]

I am a very new subscriber and I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I love books! I feel like I never have enough time to read. I always have a book that I'm listening to on Audible also for when I'm driving or knitting! Thank you so much for all of the enjoyable recommendations. Some authors you have talked about are new to me. 😊

[@marisonata]

Thank you Miranda. I like your vlogs too. It's been a while since your last one. 😊

[@juliavasquez82]

Hello Miranda! Those stationary cards are beautiful! The book by Kazuo Ishiguro seems very interesting!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Julia! It was an incredible read!

[@craftybookworm8280]

A lovely video which I watched whilst cross stitching. In my case a small design of a Beagle puppy whilst my real Beagle is snoring beside me. I am now going to check out Alicia Paulsons designs for future projects.

[@MirandaMills]

Oh how sweet! I definitely recommend Alicia Paulson’s designs - they’re lovely! 😊💕

[@daisyroberts7401]

Good Video 👏

[@laurac56]

Can anyone suggest an online site in the US that carries beautiful cards like this? I have no idea where to start looking.

[@Emma_S76]

You could try Etsy? Lots of artists sell their work there, so you should be able to find something you like.
