Preparing for a Cosy Autumn 🍂📔🦇

[@limeparticle]

Just a little safety tip - having your tapers be loose in the candlestick is a pretty big fire hazard. I was taught always to melt a little drop of wax on the bottom of the taper and use that to fasten it to the candlestick. If it’s very loose, you can also wrap a little bit of tinfoil around the base of the candle so it sits tighter in the candlestick!

[@cherylchanderpal]

I don't think she lights those

[@falygurl9703]

@@cherylchanderpal it would still look better if it was adhered, she can also use candle wax tabs to do that same thing.

[@klatskyn]

She does that when she lights them, she's just keeping them there

I'm so excited that you will be reading Kafka. I did my Master's dissertation about his (incomplete) novel 'America' (working title: Der Verschollene, The Missing). - I love him as a person so much - he was nowhere near as miserable as people perceive him. He had a close connection with his sister Ottla who ran an organic farm. Kafka was a vegetarian; as an insurance officer, he was very aware of the situation for factory workers, something that is very unique for authors at the beginning of the 20th century. He was such a special and kind human being. I get very excited when I can talk about Kafka. ☺

[@fabiolafunk750]

Thanks for your comment, I was just about to comment about Amerika/der Verschollene as well 😂

[@katiegl]

I’m a huge Kafka fan as well, so your comment was lovely to read! :-)

[@strawberryfraya]

If you can make it to Oxford, UK. In the Weston library is a free exhibition on Kafka. I visited it yesterday and enjoyed it thoroughly.

[@maksarendarski2060]

I love Kafka! Especially his letters to Milena. I highly recommend them.

[@lilmissrockchick4962]

We studied Kafka in Performing Arts at A-Level and I fell in love with The Trial 🖤

[@dillonpark7262]

I always look forward to your autumn videos. In the Deep South in the USA we don’t have autumn weather until late October and it’s such a relief from our long, hot humid weather. The crisp air and the soothing colors are like a reward for enduring the blistering heat. Your crafting ideas were too clever.

[@Ggs-t6u]

Ruby is the reason I am so motivated to do work as a high school student living in the US!! Thank you so much Ruby, god bless you and keep up the great work!!

[@RubyGranger8]

Oh you're so lovely! Good luck with High School! You've got this!

[@fortunatelyfall]

Thank you Ruby for regularly romanticising academia. I will now watch what is probably going to be an excellent video 🍁

[@bowlzyk]

Tip I learnt recently about baking, sifting the flour isn't just about making sure there are no lumps; when measuring in cups the unsifted flour is denser so you end up adding too much! Always sift the flour if the recipe uses cups, makes cakes and bread so much lighter! 😊

[@apapchan9265]

My granny told me that sifting the flour gives it some air so the flour is more fluffy and light! :D

[@biblemademedoit]

​@@apapchan9265I always sift my flour but recently I was in a rush and skipped that step and my cake turned out dense and thick like a brownie.

[@Bby_Dobby]

So happy to see a country that hv a autumn season, hopely one day I can meet the autumn season too❤

[@natasham4184]

I'm obsessed with the ghostification you did on that old print, it's such a great idea!

[@annikaa.3854]

I love how you make every season feel special!

[@kleinereverie8763]

I like how you have a lifestyle and vibe you like and are just committing to it. Lots of admiration for yo :) Thanks for the video!

[@hiroshii586]

I've been waiting for a new autumn vlog. Ruby, I got so much motivation for reading and writing, watching your videos🤎

[@AlexKenas]

Brown, burnt orange, hunter green, and mustard yellow are autumn colors. Autumn in the American south usually does not come until late October and is usually around 30°C and is the peak of white tailed deer and mourning dove hunting seasons. When I was little, I would join my uncles, sometimes late at night in wooded hills and pastures as they carried Winchesters, Remingtons, and Mossbergs. We would cook baked beans and sausages with molasses and bourbon in cast iron utensils over dried manure and mesquite fires and share stories and discuss various topics as coyotes howled in the distance while we drank coffee from blue enameled percolators.

[@ATULRAJAWAT_54]

I'm 17 from India and i learn from you very good habits about study related thank you ❤

[@lilymiddlemas9898]

I love early December, because it's not Christmas yet, even though I love Christmas, but it's just getting there, and it's Christmassy if you know what I mean, but no ones running around trying to get everything ready for Christmas, their all just starting to ask what people want and there's so many Christmas things in shops and I just love it! And I love your videos, Ruby because they are so organised and relaxing x

[@a320nick]

The piano in this video is attune with the video. Good choice. You video is magical, as ever. Don't forget the smell of rain. Loved your warm pumpkin milk, the epitome of comfort and oaken evenings.

[@luca-renovatio4271]

As Italian having lived, stidied and worked in Cambridge for some years, I do really miss the Autumn vibe, but I`ll ricreate It at home starting with some decoration and naturally some interesting apt reading ! Autumn is such a delicate season.. ❤

[@silvialogan9226]

Ruby, this is a wonderful way to start autumn. The way that you organize autumn is great.

[@RubyGranger8]

Ah I’m so pleased you liked the video!

[@Aletheahthomas]

This time of year always has me reaching for Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Listening to your description of autumn as magical made me really want to read both right now, right this second! 😂

[@user-qh8nh7oe6d]

Althea. Yes! I do too. I like to watch the film Charade too with Audrey Hapburn and Cary Grant. Some of the scenes are in the Tivoli gardens in Paris? It's the autumn, and the fallen leaves and autumn trees are very atmospheric.

[@Aletheahthomas]

@@user-qh8nh7oe6d OOO! I'll have to put that on the watch list! That may be the one Hepburn film I haven't seen. Thanks!

[@user-qh8nh7oe6d]

​@Aletheahthomas I hope you will enjoy it. There are some funny parts, though it has suspense too. I first watched it at home with my grandparents and mum, and I hadnt long started high school, so that's another link with autumn too! I've got to say I'm in my 60s now, so it's a film that has stayed with me through life.

[@charlotte-elizabeth7181]

the poetry whilst walking in nature was exquisite ✨✨

[@maryannlopez691]

Your videos always remind me to slow down and appreciate each season. Happy Fall 🍂!!

[@lifebypalmer]

I never thought of making seasonal buckets lists. I am most definitely making one for autumn ! It's by far the superior time of year

[@sarahsimpson8775]

I can't wait for the day you release a novel, I love the poetic way you speak. You could release anything and I would buy it. Also please make sure you voice it in your audio books yourself or if you ever voice any audio books please let us know because your voice just makes it sound that much better! ❤

[@ss45247]

I love your videos. They bring renewed joy, curiosity and wonder back into my sometimes dreary and dull days. Your optimism and enthusiasm is just so catching. Love it. I celebrate you Ruby ❤

[@brittizepunkt4838]

Was für ein wundervolles Video! Vielen Dank, liebe Ruby, für die schöne Einstimmung in den Herbst.🍃🍂🍄🍁☔🫖☕🍎👻🎃

[@sydneyfarber1390]

Book recommendation! I’ve heard it’s apparently considered a classic and a lot of people had to read it in school so you might have read it already but I only discovered it a couple years ago on accident (picked a random cheep book to buy as to not look rude) and it’s become one of my favorite and most read books. It’s called A Separate Peace by John Knowles. Set in a boys boarding school in New England right at the beginning of WWII. It follows 2 friends in junior year and their rocky relationship as the war is beginning and watching their senior friends be sent off to war or drafted and that same future looming over them. Wonderfully written and I get more and more out of it each time I read it.

[@melodie0987]

I forgot my book at home and didn’t know what I was going to do while eating my lunch at work - Ruby has saved the day again 🎉

[@msvegan8993]

Thank you so much for these videos, they're really helping prepare me for starting my SLT masters in January and I really appreciate all your work and effort ❤

[@_vulcanide]

the pumpkin duvet cover is so cute!

[@snapdragonhollow]

Wonderful fall vlog! 🍁😊🍂 I loved all of your book suggestions as well as your crafting, baking, decor, and outfits!! What a fun way to welcome autumn!! 🍂📚🍁

[@doris_1325]

Ruby would you consider also changing the curtains in your room? For me having light colors in the summer makes my room feel cooler and dark color in winter makes my room seem warmer. There's also an option to change with seasons. Since you know how to sew I think that you should go to a fabric store and select the fabric, making them yourself will be a great memory you will enjoy when that particular season comes back around. Just an idea! 👍💛

[@rowlinggrowling]

I love how you are shining when you’re sharing books❤

[@penultimateh766]

Fun update Ruby, thanks. I think you'll like "Misery". The vibe is not really horror, more like desperation and suspense. Your single side braid is cool BTW, very festive.

[@JadisDeauclaire]

Cette vidéo est si apaisante ! L'été est une belle saison, mais le retour au calme avec l'automne est si réconfortant !

[@icetypejulia]

Watching this while it rains outside! so excited for autumn, my favourite of the -ber months has to be late october early november

[@bookishme3635]

Happy autumn 🧡 Highly, highly recommend A Discovery of Witches! I read it at the start of the year, but it definitely feels more like an autumnal book. The trilogy is brilliant and so is the TV show!

[@isabelcristinaruiz7507]

Always is so calm and inspiring watch your videos!

[@dinahakim7114]

I love how you do your poems, Ruby I love how you integrate your poems to your videos absolutely stunning. I can write a poem here and there, but you and your poems are something else. I love it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marleyundangie]

Autumn is my favorite season and your videos represent these beautiful autumn vibes wonderfully. I haven’t read many Stephen King books because most of them I kinda disliked, but I’ve read Misery many years ago and that one I really liked!

[@UmaimahX]

And So The Autumn Begins......thankyou ruby for motivating us...love how peaceful and calm your autumn vibe is...keep shining and inspiring 🌟⭐🌟

[@user-fk3rw6rm3y]

I love the All Souls Trilogy and have read them all a few times. The show was good enough, but the books are SO much better!!!

[@iterumm]

misery is fantastic! very suspenseful and one of his most atmospheric. hope you enjoy it!

[@RachelEvans-bl8vv]

Great video, as always, I love how you embrace the seasons. Thank you

[@leehyunzar1]

Your clips make me calm even we are living in different places in the world. Now it's flood in Thailand and your clips fulfill a lot😊😊❤❤

[@WintersweetPhoenix]

So poetic, it's beautiful. I could listen to you describing autumn for hours.

[@danielbautista7]

Every one of those scrapbooks is a treasure, belongs to a family museum. I admire the effort

[@virginiayuuka]

A lovely, really autumnal video. I'm so excited for this season. Thank you! ❤

rn I’m waiting for my spice cake to bake as I watch your video 🫶🏽 peak autumn vibes 🍂

This video was so relaxing! I can't wait for it to finally cool down to fall weather where I live

[@jh48167]

Love your videos and the fun and intelligent projects you share. You present with so much style and good energy. I don’t usually comment but this is for all the times I don’t: thank you - you are appreciated! ❤

[@RubyGranger8]

Oh my goodness. This is so unbelievably lovely 🥺❤️

[@someone-ug5cw]

I watched your video and felt autumn. You were able to give me such a delicate, precious feeling. Autumn is truly the season to live, to feel. I eagerly await your new videos. I am sending you a big hug with love❤️🫂

You're so lucky to live in England, it's so lovely!

[@normanorourke3244]

Thank you Ruby for your autumn screen saver idea just changed mine never thought of a seasonal one

[@elsaruck]

This was so lovely and I appreciated the book recommendations too! 🍂

[@clara8490]

Love all your planning and decorating videos 💞

[@lizziecatherine7048]

i am always so envious of british autumns. i live in oregon, usa, and while it's nice and rainy where i live, it feels like fall arrives later and later each year now. thank you for the autumn videos, ruby! ❤

[@piafleig]

Actually, it's the same in the UK and vast parts of Europe. When I was a child, autumn would arrive early September, now the only thing that arrives at that time is all the autumn decor and pumpkins. Leaves turn orange about a month later, I'd say, and September can still be quite hot! :/

[@dees3179]

I wish it would arrive later. I’m cold already, and no one can afford heating again this year because the stupid government is plotting to steal all our money. I hate being cold.

[@Mercyyyii]

Was this uploaded yesterday and then unlisted cuz i think i saw this yesterday too but when i went to see what she posted it had disappeared :/ Glad to see another new vid, looking forward to see more

[@itsmelia9]

Yes, I did exactly the same and was really confused where it disappeared! 🎃 🎃

[@Mercyyyii]

@@itsmelia9 well I'm glad I'm not the only one

[@cotten595]

same! I was saving it until later and was really confused!

[@islamadam8502]

Same here, and for me it's the second time to happen with a Ruby video 🤔

[@victoriafierro7709]

your voice sounds so deep while you were in the bathroom with your mum, it's so ASMR even more than the high pitched voice 🤯

[@sparksoflight5022]

Hi, Ruby, loved your video! ❤very inspiring, it made me adore autumn even more... I'll definitely try out all of your DIY ideas from this video, especially the pumpkin muffin recipe, I usually use an ice cream scooper to distribute the batter into the muffin forms. Can't wait to try it out🎉 greetings from Germany 😊

[@tuttifruttisummerluv]

This is such a great idea! What little printer is that?! I am new to your channel. I think I’ve been waiting for your content my whole life. It’s like my soul breathed a sigh of relief watching this video.

[@HannaDaisy85]

I think that we need a fall reading vlog!!❤ Love your reading vlogs...and miss them a lot!!😢😢

[@Marymooau]

So excited for your autumn winter vlogs. They are my favourite. I’m snuggled up with a hazelnut latte and cozied up under a blanket. ❤❤

[@MykolaNaichuk]

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" is excellent! One of the few books I managed to swallow in one day. Happy autumn! 🙂

[@AuroraWhispers]

Aw I love 'bitty' videos like this, loved the little ghost crafts!

[@jordanalmond3458]

I watched this while eating some pumpkin spice oatmeal surrounded by my autumn decor. ☺️ This was a lovely video and I’m so intrigued by the synopsis of Gallant, it’s moving to the top of my list!

[@KatieStewart-s2x]

Misery is a great book! And the film is fantastic, Kathy Bates portrays Annie so perfectly - highly recommend! ❤️

[@elizabethdelafield7533]

‘Salem’s Lot is my favorite King read in autumn.

[@MeghanCreative]

A Discovery of Witches is my favorite trilogy!!

[@Yourtrulysky]

I actually love ruby. I never get bored seeing you. You're so calm and soothing. so inspiring and excellent ruby. You are doing good and your amazing Take love

[@hesnixhorizon]

Hello Ruby! I’ve been watching your channel since I was 16 and now I’m graduating uni this year and my major is also literature :) You inspired me to study hard when I thought I was a failure just because I couldn’t do mathematics. Yesterday I had a dream where I visited you in London, and I invited you to Istanbul. So I wanted to invite you when I woke up loll if you ever want to travel to İstanbul (and I think you should) I’d be very happy to host you. Have a happy autumn 🍂❣️

[@LisaTamburrano]

OH MY GOD YOU NEED TO READ THE ALL SOULS TRILOGY!! You are going to love it! I'm rereading it now. plus there's a new book sequel that came out in the summer (the black bird oracle)

[@Storm_in_a_teacup-uf5rv]

I also recommend The Secret History by Donna Tartt! Very autumn vibes x

[@ruthfuller2105]

I love your Autumn clothes. They looked lovely on you. I have read some of the books you recommended. Misery, i loved. I always think Autumn is a time for reflextion. I love baking pumkin cookies but will try your buns. Thank you Ruby for a wonderful vid ❤

Hi Ruby, after a whole week of struggle with the French post, I finally received my academic planner ❤🎉❤🎉 It is absolutely gorgeous! I've been following you on KZbin since 2018 and somehow it's the first time that I order a Pumpkin Productivity product. Now I'm ready for my PhD, which starts in October 😊 🌰🍄‍🟫 I wish you all the best for this new academic year ✨

[@suu_zeee]

Sooo happy to see a new upoad after a long day at school 🎉❤

[@emielou]

A Discovery of Witches is one of my favourite series! Brilliant books and brilliant tv series. Gallant is great, i read it in summer 2 years ago and wish I had read it in Autumn.

[@ellajument]

ADOW was published in 2009 I think. It’s the start of an absolutely gorgeously woven trilogy, and the real-time read-along starts today I think (Mabon)! 10/10 I would reread this every year :)

[@user-oq4vf4kd9x]

This was such a relaxing video, Ruby. I loved it!

[@rocioguts]

Rubyyy! A really good horror book is Silent Companion by Laura Purcell. It actually structures its sentences so well that it gives you jumpscares. The only book that ever got me a little spooked. It's also very atmospheric because it takes place in the Yorkshire moors, so it evokes a lot of isolation and eerieness to the story.

[@Jusdepommerose]

For painting candlesticks, I recommend Posca pens. The tip is fine and filled with paint, so it's way easier than using a paintbrush!

[@sstafford1951]

Ruby, I love your content. It’s inspiring and magical ✨

[@wanessadarosa6851]

We are entering spring here which is my favorite season. But I love autumn too ❤ I love so much Discovery of witches! I'm go read another book of Deborah Harkness shortly.
