Book shopping, exploring the city, & reading 🏙 📚 a cozy Portland weekend vlog

**ALL DRONE FOOTAGE is by the most wonderful human being on the plant: Landon Holbert, / @landonthings
Hello, friends!
I hope you've all managed to have a good weekend despite the heartbreak that's happening in the world right now. It's okay to be upset and maybe not as productive during these devastating times. Sending light and love to all of our Ukrainian friends and also those in Russia who don't want war❤️
I filmed this video just a few short days after returning from Brazil (Feb 18th-20th). From nights out with friends, to browsing the maze of books that is POWELLS, to exploring Portland and reading "Spinning Silver-- this one's filled with lots of uplifting, cozy moments and I hope it feels like a hug to watch.
Thank you so very much for being here, friends--
BIG hugs,
Morgan

Your vlogs are always such a cosy, warm hug--they're just as lovely and delightful as you are 😭 I hope you love the Stationery Shop!!

[@humankindnessperson2730]

I love Morgan’s channel and Christy Anne’s both aRE A JOY AND PLEASURE TO WATCH.

ahhh i've missed these cozy vlogs so much!! welcome back Morgan, all of this video was so pretty and magical and nice to wake up to !! 🧡⭐⚡

[@oceanheartz717]

Hi Maria! Didn't expect to see you here!

[@MariaSilva]

@@oceanheartz717 oh! haha hello >

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, Maria friend!!

[@emerie44]

Totally got the chills at the end when you said, “this is my dream life.” Everyone deserves that feeling! 💗

[@landonthings]

This vlog is sooo well done Mo- I love every bit of it. The Powell’s bit was so fresh, fun and smooth 😊

[@MorganLong]

Hahaha thank you so much, Lan!! I felt extra ~cool~ with the music in this one 😎🤗

[@emilyzena7070]

So nice that you watch, appreciate and take time to comment on Morgan's videos, Landon! - which are wonderful!

[@Puty0urlipstick0n]

you guys are the cutest

[@bunnysantamaria1808]

I could say so much. Too much is usually me. Each vlog, everything you share simply warms my heart ❤️ You are so like me it's incredible. Kindred spirits! Thank you Morgan! Thank you so much for all you share!

[@lilwinchester1417]

On that weekend the world was still okay I wish I could go back there This helps me greatly with my anxiety

[@MorganLong]

Me too, friend 💛

[@RandiLynnK]

I am always so surprised by how good it feels to be home after travel. You’re still riding the wave of excitement from your trip and then it combines with the contentment of being home. There’s not really anything else like it. 🥰

[@galfrailich4058]

Hahaha I laughed so hard at 10:14! YES comic editing Mo! Also, missed you so much you’re a shiny ray of light ❤️

[@MorganLong]

Hahaha YES, I’m so glad you thought it was funny!! When I premiered the video, everyone was really concerned for the bird more than they thought it was funny. In hindsight, I wish I’d put “relatable” on the scene after the bird hit the window. Also, the bird was totally fine!! ❤️

[@galfrailich4058]

@@MorganLong it’s funny because it’s so tragically relatable. Felt like a “how it started, how it’s going” meme. Anyways, looks like a tough little bird. Wasn’t worried at all ;)

[@emilycarlson3295]

I absolutely love this video! It quite literally was the highlight of my rough day. Thank you for sharing you’re talent with us, Morgan!

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, Emily friend! I’m sorry to hear you had a rough day. Tomorrow will be better ☀️

[@rebekah6177]

After a full day's work, I'm finally treating myself to a hot cup of tea and 38 minutes and 26 seconds of pure Morgan magic!! ☺️✨

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so so much, Rebekah friend ❤️

[@cozynaturegirl]

Thank you again and again too! It’s so fun to watch your dream life and make one of my own too.

[@marthabando66]

Those bangs 😍just perfect with your up-do! They seem to fit your personality....happy and kind and approachable!

[@seahchenyi6885]

hi Morgan, I just want to let you know that you inspire me so much to live the life I want for myself. thank you very much for that. much love, Chen yi🌻💛

[@mayahrasmussen]

I've missed the casual Portland/bookstore blogs so much!✨ Perfect start to the weekend with a good cup of tea☕ I love all your content, but these types of videos have a special place in my heart since "Powell's shopping on a cozy rainy night" was the first video of yours I watched 📚

[@tamar3859]

My favorite part of this video was when you wrote Saturday and showed the bird on the branch all peaceful and then it hit the window! 😂 I cried laughing! Isn't that just like life sometimes?! So glad you made it back safely and had the travel alone experience.

[@krutisukhadia2180]

Hi Morgan we miss you.Your tour colg amazing and I very grateful to be back thank you so much slow and calming video

[@scrapin4mhe]

More please! 🙏 I loved the quiet calm this video brought into my life today. I ordered Black Cake and The Stationary Shop to read on the airplane ✈️ next week. You always inspire me to draw, to read, to drink tea, and to love. Thank you! 😌

[@MorganLong]

Thank you, friend!! I LOVED Black Cake!! I’m looking forward to reading The Stationery Shop- cheers & happy reading ☕️

[@hat7808]

The Stationery Shop is incredible…although heartbreaking as you mentioned, it’s one of my fave reads so far this year!

[@janeenbreyman212]

My daughter and her boyfriend went to Portland, they live in San Francisco, for Valentine's Day weekend. I had given them a Powell's gift card prior thanks to watching your videos! They each got a book and enjoyed a coffee, the best on their trip! They are planning another trip!

[@amandadowney953]

Art Supply Store+Bookstore and a Cafe=the best day ever. Thank you, OH wondrous you. 💜

[@madilynanderson2497]

Not the music coming full stop when the bird hit the window 😭🙏🏼 I almost snorted so loud I woke up my husband 🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious I'm still laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[@madilynanderson2497]

Also I put this on after I realized I was not going to be able to sleep very well and wanted something pleasant to watch/listen to to relax, and this is the perfect video to turn my mood around and help me relax at the same time. 😌✌️✨

[@jedpido737]

You deserve more viewers and subscribers, Ms. Morgan! I love your vlogs and your lifestyle. :) -a fan from the Philippines

[@tubular07143]

Omg I laughed so hard at the “Saturday…..donk!’ Poor little thing. 😆 Love your videos.

[@quid_legis]

Que bueno tenerte de regreso! Acá estamos, esperándote. Eres importante para la comunidad porque nos inspiras y pienso que tomarte vacaciones también nos ayuda a entender a nosotros que el trabajo puede esperar. Un abrazo grande!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@phoebe8094]

Morgan! How lovely to see you perusing Powell’s on my KZbin again ❤️ I feel like the world is now spinning once more after being stationary. Things simply aren’t the same without you! I’m so so glad you’ve gotten some well-deserved time away! You work so hard and need rest. This video was like a giant hug and I’m HERE FOR IT. 🥲🥲🥲 Also, your friend Kristen is absolutely PRECIOUS!!!! Her smile is….radiant! Like, sun beams projecting through the blog and hitting me in the face radiant! What a gem. Both of you! Happy teas, trees, and reads to you my friend. And welcome back!

[@laurajane1900]

I would love to see more of your sketchbook Morgan!

[@janetmilidoni5438]

I love your vlogs, you are so interesting and sweet, you give me a great sense of peace. I feel so calm and relaxed after watching you,well done.

[@kimcartwright8111]

Thank you Morgan for reminding me I am worthy of my own time. I am exhausted . At the end of the day I am falling asleep standing up, which is a very strange feeling. I have made a sandwich drifting in a out of sleep. I must make time for myself as I am very unhappy. Thank you so much for your videos. Your videos are on my list of things that make me happy. Take care.

[@brigittarusli]

This week I have been watching your old videos ( like readatons, vlogs, and the read with me.) which makes me excited for this week's cozy video. My family been super busy with work lately. We just couldn't wait to relax with a cup of tea and enjoy another of Morgan's master piece. 😊 Thank you soooo much Morgan for your love, kindness, and sharing with us your ups and downs. ❤😘

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much for revisiting old videos, friend! It helps me so much! I hope this next week is an easier one ☀️ Hugs to you and your family 🤗

Good to have you back ❤️

Morgan you are wonderful and also a friend, love Kylie all the way from Perth Western Australia 💖💖💖

[@IfWeWerePoets]

This week has been particularly hard and watching your beautiful and cozy video already made me feel better. You've inspired me to take a little break tomorrow and go to a nice cafe and draw in my sketchbook for a bit 🧡 so thank you! Wishing you a wonderful weekend and week ahead!

[@andreeastiopu1831]

We are always here! It was so nice to have “our” cozy meetings! You are the sweetest! Take care, friend! 🤗

The stationary shop was my fav book of 2020!

I’m so glad you’re back! 💛

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

Your videos always end in a sort of sappy way that I like because it reminds me that life isn't perfect but we have to appreciate it.

[@MorganLong]

I try my best to be open, honest, and encouraging about all the ups and downs. I love a sappy chat 🤗

I love your sweater Morgan that green is surely divine 😍😍😍

[@VictoriaPichel]

oh, have I missed your vlogs! Yes! They are truly my friday treat. Pure comfort. Did that bird just hit the window? poor thing... I loved the bookish shenanigans, the blazer, your british accent, the art supplies, the drawing, the walking, Portland. Everything. I am SO glad your videos are back. Have a great weekend xx

[@MorganLong]

Thank you for appreciating this video so much, Victoria friend! Isn’t the bird very relatable at the moment? It did his the window but it was fine! Happy weekend ☀️

[@angelogolde4035]

I just visited Portland on my birthday in February. I have to say it’s quite amazing. And I also want to say thanks. You were the inspiration for the trip. What a lovely place ❤️❤️❤️ Me and my boyfriend had an amazing time.

[@mamamooncat2947]

The bird LOL

[@tamelinbrown6114]

Loved this video sooooo much and it was exactly what I needed at the end of a very rough week. You were a bright spot in a dark week and calming respite from the hectic-ness of life right now. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you, Friend!! 😘

[@MorganLong]

You always bring so much light to my KZbin and Patreon community, Tamelin friend ☀️ I hope this next week is an easier one for you ❤️❤️❤️

[@lilyturney1346]

Thank you for the video Morgan, it is lovely to have you back 😊

[@danialmansouri6865]

This was a reminder to meet up with friends more often and to take time for myself. Thanks Mo!✨🤍 so happy to have you back!

Thank you for the comfort and coziness you share with us Mo 🧡

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

so cozy 🥰🥰🥰

[@Livieirened]

when i was little my family took a trip to Washington to see friends. I was really young but i still remember that trip so well. i remember the mountains as we flew in and the beautiful trees and the amazing old estate/ garden we went and toured. we’re no longer friends with them but watching your videos remind me of running around in that garden and my little blue coat with buttons that i wore the whole trip. it’s a sweet nostalgic feeling just before everything kind of fell apart. Thank you for a beautiful video and a look into your sweet life♥️

[@shelleycarlson6184]

So happy for you, Morgan living your dream! I truly wish this for everyone 💙.

[@federicavalenzise5468]

I’ve missed watching your videos so much. I didn’t realise how much I needed them until now. Much love ❤️

[@cottagechaos2587]

:) so glad you like Brazil!

[@Ashleanicol]

Seriously died when the bird hit the window. I was not expecting that lol

[@kathleenbaker2791]

Loved this cozy cuddly vlog! Thanks for sharing you life with all of use! ❤️

[@thehy-chefamily8430]

Yes Yes yes Morgan!! This videos vibes were at an all time high!! I love the music sounds like Sarah Kane? Such a vibe with the bookstore vlogs that never get old!! They are my favorite 😍

[@MorganLong]

Hahaha thank you, friend! YES that was Sarah Kane- she’s so GOOD

[@gypsyfroggie]

SO glad you are home and feeling better! Missed you!

[@baileymcbride18]

Thank you so much for this Morgan. I was having a really hard time being alone with my mental health but this is really helping me through it. 💖 hope your day is going well and filled with cheer, laughter, and smiles.

[@NakiasHideaway]

Missed your cozy vlogs in Portland. Loved every minute of it. Roo just melts my heart and that song you had playing while you were at Powell's was so beautiful. 🖤

[@jandoolan3970]

Haha Loved the 'English' accent. As always, a brilliant vid. Thank you. One of the nicest parts of my KZbin viewing.

[@MorganLong]

Thank you : )

[@quaintlychristine]

I caught the last 60 seconds of the premiere. So I'm going to watch the whole video now! This is very random but the food you prepare always looks so delicious! When you show yourself cooking something in your video can you share the recipe in the description if possible? Love your content Morgan! All of it! Not just the food. Haha

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, friend!! And I’m flattered that you like the food in my videos. Mostly I’m making it up as I go! But if ever I make something from a recipe, I do always try to share it! I’ll make a more conscious effort moving forward!

[@mirandamarquette1438]

I'm just now getting to catch up on all your vids post Christmas and they do not disappoint as ever! Love your vlogs as much as we love your bright, shining face!!

[@Mariak82]

Loved this video, watching on a Saturday morning here in the UK. It is a rainy day here and I am now going to read some of my book. ❤📚

[@landonthings]

LOL for context behind the soggy sock- I stepped in the creek with Roo 😂 The park was sooo beautiful Mo, amazing!

[@MorganLong]

Hahaha in the premiere, someone was concerned that you’d sweated through your sock! 🙊

[@Bizenghast55]

Thank you for such a peaceful video vlog! You always make my day when you post!

[@heytherejuliee]

Loved the video Morgan, and your previous Brazil vlogs! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Like you said, here's to the simple joys :)

[@katiesantamaria6695]

Finally getting a chance to watch this lovely vlog! Great way to end my day! I’m so happy I found your channel Morgan! ❤️

[@conifercrow]

I'm sure you already know, but just in the remote possibility that you don't -- right around the corner from Blick (just go around the building to the south and hang a right, and it's right there)...is Oblation. And Oblation is freaking amazing. In warm/sunny weather, there's a public typing station outside where you can sit and type on a vintage manual typewriter. They sell some inside that they've found and refurbished, along with the most INCREDIBLE stationery supplies. They do letterpress in-house, so there's a lot of that, along with a whole slew of pretty little things. I get great ribbons by the yard and bookbinding thread there, and they've got a bunch of fountain pens and inks that are super tempting, too. It's one of my favorite places in Portland and I go there every time I'm on that side of the bridge. I think you'd love it if you haven't already been. :)

[@sarahamansfield]

Oh my goodness the Dragonfly is also mine, my boyfriend Nick, and our Corgi Nathan’s (cuz dogs are allowed there) favorite coffee shop too!!! 😍 We go there allll the time! Love it so much!

[@jennifercuson5984]

Your videos always make Fridays more special! Thank goodness you are back again, you were very much missed!

[@MorganLong]

Aww thank you so very much, Jennifer friend! I missed you all!

[@jillychandler]

What a lovely dog you have, and husband (partner?) and friends, and life! You are such a lovely, bright, happy soul. Love your vlogs, and have bought a few books you have shown us, that you have enjoyed. Am reading The very secret society of irregular witches, which I am enjoying, and have ordered Black cake! I am 65 years young, but do not feel this age, and am a Harry Potter fan too. I have a black rescue greyhound called Madge (her full name when she raced at Poole in Dorset, England, is Devils Magic) so she is my angel. It is just her and me living alone, in a beautiful part of Devon, England. We love out walks in nature, and it is so beautiful at the moment, as is now October, and Autumn, with such fantastic colours all around us - gold, and rust and green. Blessings to you, and all you love, and thank you for your lovely blogs. xxx

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

So excited to watch this!🥰

[@ADuchessInside]

What a nice long visit with you! I enjoyed it so much and am glad you're back home - I've missed your house and Portland and these fun glimpses of your regular life. Thanks for making Friday evenings so cozy!

So happy you are back safe from your trip! I loved your two videos about your trip, where you went looked beautiful and it was so lovely to see how happy the people were there! I have missed your reading vlogs, so I've been watching past videos. Have a blessed weekend! 😊

[@MorganLong]

Thank you sooo very much for appreciating my Brazil videos and also rewatching old reading vlogs! It’s means a lot to me ☀️

Portland felt cold and lonely until I found your videos ❤️

[@gailfriedman7320]

Just love spending the weekend with you ❤️❤️❤️

[@sjthorn]

Landon's drone skills are, as always, on point, and I have to agree about the London banker lol, but it was a good look. Every time I see Powell's, it makes me miss Chamberlins, a bookstore in Florida my mom and I used to frequent before we moved to Arkansas. I'm glad you liked Spinning Silver, I felt much the same about the switching POV's, and listening to the audiobook (which was amazing), only made it that much more confusing when female characters had similar voices.

[@emmihaimerl7988]

So happy you are back! I loved getting some cosy content :3 I am just so proud of how happy and relaxed and confident you seem! See you in the next video ☺️

[@bookcornered3019]

Unfortunately I think I'll be asleep when this airs, but it'll definitely be a great way to start my morning! Hugs from the Netherlands, friend ❤

Gorgeous weekend, looked like so much fun! I have my first Naomi Novik on my TBR, it's the first in the scholomance series. Yesterday I sat and read in the grounds of our city's castle, which was so wonderful, sun shining, some nice food. Such a treat ☀️ xx

[@elainegallagher2949]

Hello Morgan, you embody hygge, I absolutely love watching your life, I'm very similar in your mentality & way of life. Its love to see someone relatable here on you tube. I wish there was a big bookstore like powells in my County here in Ireland. There are small ones & I do enjoy them. You have inspired me to just love & embrace who I am as you say I deserve to life a good life. Have a wonderful week, lots of love to you, Landon & Monsieur Roo, Elaine
