September Days🍁🕯- crisp early mornings, cozy book shopping, & my autumn children's book collection

Happy Friday, lovely friends! Oh what a wonderful September it has been so far 🍂 I love how the mornings are getting cooler and cooler, the tips of the trees are beginning to change and the wind shares it magic by sprinkling the leaves all around the forest floor. In this video, I continue to celebrate the arrival of autumn by doing so many of the things I love: painting, reading, and even making some taper candles! Near the end of this video I also share a small (I tried to keep it small) collection of some of the autumn themed or atmospheric picture books I have collected over the years as well as some new ones I pick up from Powell's Books! I hope you enjoy this longer vlog and seep in the coziness & comfort September has brought me so far ✨ As always, thank you so very much for being here 🧡

The pumpkin caramel sauce recipe from @hannaoliviaway :
• 1 c sugar
• 4 tbsp butter, sliced up
• 1/4-1/2 c heavy cream (depending on how thick you want it)
• couple big spoonfuls pumpkin purée
• heavy sprinkle pumpkin pie spice
• dollop of vanilla bean paste (or extract or powder)
• sprinkle of salt
first - put the sugar in a saucepan - alone. i know it seems weird but go with it. start it on medium heat, stirring pretty consistently. it will start to form lil clumps - keep stirring. then it will start to melt, turning kinda liquidy - keep stirring. you want to keep going til it’s all liquid and the lil sugar crystal clumps are dissolved.
then add the butta. stir stir stir. once combined, slowly add cream. keep stirring. once that is combined, remove from heat and add in the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, salt.
store in a jar, keep in fridge. should last a week-ish!

That was a lovely feel of Autumn. A fabulous time of year..

[@heyitsdeb9389]

I really enjoy your channel. I found you from watching Morgan’s channel. I’m so thankful for you ladies-you bring peace and happiness to our world ❤️

[@tanyathompson1549]

Fabulous. Beautiful. The opening is complete magic. So nicely done. 🙏🏼✨✨✨

[@NanetteStein]

Per usual, the cinematography is beautiful , but this…this one is divine, Randi Lynn. Your videos are such a treat.

[@JackieEco]

Thank you for not hating on the squirrels💚🍂

[@samanthanebe9230]

I grew up reading Redwall (the series is long) I still will reread them. They are very fall feeling. Never read them when you are hungry. The way the author writes about food makes you wish you were sitting right there at the table

[@emaleegissberg1211]

Omg, my husband talks about Redwall (especially the food!) EXACTLY the same way!!

[@mindys3581]

Did you know there's a Redwall cookbook?

[@emaleegissberg1211]

@@mindys3581 whaaaaat???! I had no idea, and now I know what to get my husband for his birthday next month!! Thank you!!

[@eloquentleigh5275]

My mom read them to me and I am now reading them to my children!

[@steepsister5002]

Second this! And if people are intimidated by the length of the series, you can pick up any single book and read it standalone :)

[@nerd26373]

The month of September seems so magical with all the fallen leaves and the warm light. We always look forward to Randi's content whenever she posts. She just puts out the best content out there.

[@jitterbugg2]

girl i see u EVERYWHERE😭why r we watching the same vids

[@woodlandbunny]

Oh Randi Lynn, your channel has become my comfort channel and i oh so very much adore your videos. Big hugs and love 🤎

[@RandiLynnReed]

Oh I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so so much, I am honored you enjoy them so! ✨

[@napeekapunpimtongnara9111]

autumn is so beautiful of cozy living

[@suzanneparvey4346]

Such a wonderful video Randi. I see you went back to the wildlife refuge. Such a beautiful place. I love seeing the leaves change color and enjoying all the wildlife and birds. It is always fun to see you sharing your book collection and I loved the painting you did of the owl. Just beautiful! That recipe sounds yummy for the pumpkin caramel sauce. Thank you for sharing it. Enjoy the rest of your week!

[@RandiLynnReed]

Thank you, Suzanne! 💛

[@sarajones9979]

What a lovely owl you painted!🥰

[@loubyloudoodles1432]

I do love these style videos so cosy!! Also can't wait for autumn!!!

[@autumnfesperman7971]

So many beautiful books, I want them all! Love the fall vibes, so inspiring!

[@robbiesmoonmusic]

Big, big things are coming for you, love. Your attention to detail, your keen eye for beauty in all environments and moments, and your ability to cultivate and stay true to a particular “vibe” is top tier. I’m glad I’m here at the genesis of your account (I know you’ve been at it longer than I’ve been aware of it), but watching your account grow into the millions will be so lovely to watch. Thank you for bringing cozy to my nights. ❤

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw wow! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind & encouraging words! I am so honored, and feel so appreciative to have you here! Thank you, thank you! 🧡

[@_snowy_bunny1537]

You made me buy all of the books, they look so beautiful 🤩

[@julenkah]

The very best way to start into the weekend 🤗

[@RandiLynnReed]

Always so fun to have you there! ✨ Thank you!

[@margaretr.4427]

Beautiful video! I love the recipe for the pumpkin sauce. Such a lovely wildlife refuge. Your art is lovely, especially loved the owl as it's one of my favorite animals!

[@Laura.v.b]

This video was so nostalgic for me. I remeber making bees wax taper candles as a child with my mum and dad. Every time there was a power cut, well into my teens those candels would be the ones we burned. (I lived in the country side in New zeland so we had power cuts a lot)

[@moniquecarcel5500]

Hello Randi I have just watched your video. I love the way you have decorated your home for Christmas. I love all the woodland characters. It all looks so cosy. I am so looking forward to your next video. 💖

[@kimcartwright8111]

So wonderful, Randi, I am never disappointed with your beautiful videos. I loved your time spent at the wildlife refuge. Thank you for sharing your book collection. I love sweet, heartwarming books too. Have a great week. Take care.

[@RandiLynnReed]

Thank you, Kim! ✨

[@soniashabnam1331]

Wonderful Autumn vlog, i've ever watched ...... though i live in a completely different world where the weather is tropical , but i love to imagine the vibe of Autumn through your vlog ...lots of ❤❤❤dear

[@katiemaki5740]

id love to see your entire collection of books. i love picture books and all boojks!

[@sekaihatsu]

Thanks for sharing your time with us! Powell's Book store is on my bucket list of places to visit.

[@MarciaBel]

I don't know why but I never thought about how a real pumpkin spice latte is made, it blew my mind 🤯 Now I need to try and make it! Thanks for sharing!

[@scrapin4mhe]

😂 I laughed at your squirrel story. I would pay to get a photo of those fat squirrels. That would make a beautiful and realistic painting of a squirrel munching on one of your pumpkins. I loved the postcard btw. It is definitely one of my favorite prints of yours. I love that cute fox so much! The sticker was adorable as well. Mine got here so fast! Hope you have a great week! It finally feels like Fall here. It was so hot in IL last week. I think we hit above 90 degrees. This week are in the low 50’s.

[@RandiLynnReed]

hahaha they sure do get a lot of treats from me as they raid my bird feeders too! And oh I am so glad your postcard arrived quickly and that you love it! I do too :) 🦊

[@ShannonHassouneh-gg9gn]

[@devikakaul1494]

I love children 's literature 😍😍😍

[@toniag7928]

Another beautiful video Randi! 🍂 I always look forward to watching your videos😊🤎

[@louannsidonart]

Thank you for this beautiful cozy video! I put it on to listen to while I work but I had to stop what I was doing and look at all the gorgeous illustrations! Now I want to start a picture book collection. 🦊🍂

[@AnneS508]

What a lovely video! And I LOVE the extra length! Where I live, September has been cold and rainy this year, rather than the lovely transition. It was lovely to see autumn in all its Glory. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@amyb1710]

I loved the Bramble Hedge stories, the winter one being my favorite. So cute and give me very cozy, cuddled-up vibes even as a child. Past all for seasons on to my nieces. Fab video this week, loving all of them and look forward to their release. 💛

[@danialmansouri6865]

What a beautiful video, Randi! I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and it’s so cool to see your editing skills increase! You’re videos feel like a Jane Austen movie 😍

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw, wow! I am so honored to have had your support for that long! And yes, it has been quite the journey in the film-making world but I fall more and more in love with the process! ✨

[@kathleenroberts7972]

I always put out a basket of the daughters childhood books for each season..the Wednesday witch, and any witch titled book for halloween.books are a huge part of our lives, I read about 2 a week.so glad to find you and Morgan as you both love books as much as I do.

[@stephaniemurphy2538]

Randi, I so enjoyed this video! Your children’s book collection is so sweet and inspiring. I just can’t tell you how warm and cozy and happy your videos make me feel. They are like a mini-retreat for me 🧡

[@RandiLynnReed]

I am so glad you are enjoying them!! Its an honor that you watch them! 💛 ✨

[@Lillyjoy]

I love seeing every book you picked out, I love the nature drawings they are all so nice ❤️ thank you for sharing

[@KyleeMaedje]

New to your channel and just subscribed :) this is very relaxing and inspirational I plan to have my 7 year old daughter watch this in the background while she plays around in her art room. So far she is really enjoying canvas painting and clays. I catch myself wanting to collect woodland theme and nature books for my children. I also love the beautiful work of Joanna Gaines children's books with the pastel colors. Would love follow along tutorials my daughter can do as well 😊

[@lisaf158]

Very cozy. I enjoyed every moment! Thank you.

[@brianamonicafl]

I love this video, so beautiful and peaceful, like all your videos. You do such a great job at capturing all the simple joys of each season. You are a big inspiration for me.

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw, thank you so much! I am honored 🧡

[@alessandramaio8738]

I stumbled upon your page and I’m obsessed 🤍 I’m so excited for the autumn theme books for kids that you will mention, I have a 1 year old and we’re loving your Autumnal content 🍂🥰

[@teagibbs]

You opening shots were breathing taking! Lovely video, as always.

[@julieking4828]

Oh my goodness! I’ve just stumbled into your magical world and I’m delighted. ❤

[@laurahardy2427]

I would recommend adding Pumpkin Moonshine by the Tasha Tudor to your collection. Sweet, simple, and of course beautifully illustrated.

[@gingerspath3565]

I saw you reading Mirror Lake. I recently read Shady Hollow and loved it. I like your channel. It has great cozy vibes. Happy Autumn!🍁🍂

[@crashofthemoons]

Thank you for showing the children book recommendations. I am wanting to grow my sons book collection. These are so great ❤

[@eminorthworld]

I would absolutely love Powels and all the books. Also have been trying to get this book Spoonful of frogs as I felt it was very autumnal. Also can see where you are getting all the inspirations from. Lovely 😍 as always

[@michellemooney4225]

I love the way u paint!!!!!

[@HandmadeDressDiaries]

Thank you so much for introducing me to Shady Hollow not sure if it’s in this blog but I saw you were reading it in one of the videos I saw and because of you I bought it and LOVE IT!! Such a clever and imaginative book 🦊

[@Wisteria_blu]

Hi Randi, I just discovered your page and I adore it! I have the Shady Hollow series and I think I added every children's book that you just showed to my Goodreads! Thanks for making such a lovely cozy video. 🍁🍂

[@ManikaTheStrangerWhoReads]

Another magical video to keep enjoying Autumn in the most mindful and intentional way. I'm happy to see that it was a longer video, they do take more time for you to do but I am always happy to have more. I read Woodland dreams earlier this year or maybe later last year and really enjoyed it as well. Thank you as always 🍂🧡🍂 I will now continue my cosy evening by reading Little Goose's Autumn -which I think you'll enjoy very much- and children short stories collection by Toon Tellegen a author from the Netherlands. Have a nice weekend ^^

[@RandiLynnReed]

Thank you so much, Manika! I am so glad you enjoyed :) Your evening sounded absolutely lovely! ✨

[@LavonnaAnn]

You’re videography is such an art. Very captivating! 👏🏽

[@izabellahodikszalma9843]

I love this video. The book recommendations are very inspiring. 😊

[@ajbeanart]

I was wondering if you ever watched the kids show “Little Bear” when you where a kid. It was one of my favorites and it seems right up your alley. P. S. Love the videos ❤

[@RandiLynnReed]

Yes, I absolutely loved Little Bear as a child! And thank you! :)

Hello Randi 🍂🌰I'm not sure you'll read this comment but I would like to thank you so much. I just discovered your channel and this is such a great find, you can't imagine how I feel, it's like having christmas movies but in autumn ! The atmosphere of your videos is just perfectly warm and cosy and it makes me feel so contemplative. Thank you so much for the energy and the time you put in this to offer us those precious moments of escape. I think there is one book that you would love as much as I do, this is my favorite autumn one and it's called "I'm not scary" from Raahat Kaduji, I really advice you to have a look on it if you can, it's just a treasure 🦊🦌I wish you all the best and again thank you very much ❤

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw, Camille! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words! I am so honored and am so happy to have you here! 💛 And yes!! I actually had ordered it and wanted to share it in this video, but it hadn't arrived yet! I have it now, and it is pure magic! I love love love it! 🦇 🍁

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

I wonder if I ever go to Portland and visit Powell's would I find Randi and Morgan hanging out there? 😄

[@sharonstanley259]

So excited to find your enchanting channel! Fall is my fave so I feel as if I have won the channel lottery. Your vibe is charming…where do you get your lovely dresses?

[@RandiLynnReed]

Aw thank you so so much! Some of my favorite shops for dresses are: On Etsy; Not Perfect Linen & Linen Fox, Others; Son de Flor, Peplum Co, LittleCotton Wood, and some are from thrift stores!

[@marislawyer1896]

I love the shared children’s books! My baby boy turns one tomorrow and we’ll be looking to expand beyond baby board books soon. These all look so lovely. Please look up The Legend of Holly Claus by Brittney Ryan-the illustrations are stunning, and the story has been a favorite in my family for many years.

[@angelaturner8722]

Beautiful video!
