The Secret Garden / Slow Living / Embroidery & Journal

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello and happy March everyone. Today I am sharing one of my favourite books. I'd love to hear what are some of your favourite childhood books? What are the stories that have stayed with over the years?

I'm 65 years old and I have loved to read all my life. But I haven't read The Secret Garden. Now I find I really need to, so thank you. 😊 I have now subscribed to your channel. Oh, and the sewing and the cake both looked wonderful x

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello Elizabeth, Thank you for subscribing, happy to have you here. Glad you enjoyed the video. There are so many lovely books out there, so many that we'll always have more to read :)

I love listening to the stories and watch you craft. The Secret Garden is one of my favorites.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you Lata 🌿 Mine too🌷

This is so gorgeous. I love how you built a day around one book and filled that with creativity

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much💐

I have fallen down the rabbit hole and found myself in Meadow Afternoon. I have been wandering thru every video and you have been keeping me company in my chores and studio. I hope your channel grows and grows. Your talent is beyond measure and I am delighted in each new video. Thank you for being a bright spot in my day.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello and welcome! Very happy to have you here. Thank you so much for your kind comments 🌿 I am excited to make more videos and tell new stories🌷I like the idea that my videos are keeping you company in your studio, hope you continue to enjoy the episodes.

[@theautumncrone]

I can not wait for all the new stories!

Was so excited when I saw you had a new video out. I smiled when I saw the title, "The Secret Garden". I always choose a theme for each month in my planner/journal and "The Secret Garden" is what I chose. This video was a sweet surprise today for me. Thanks so much. Love your videos.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello Christine, Thank you for coming back to watch. That's quite a coincidence, what a nice planner theme The Secret Garden would make. Perfect for the beginning of Spring.

The Secret Garden was one of my favourite books too but I read it as an adult. I love the idea of being closed from the world and in a safe place whether that be in the garden or cocooned in the four walls of home. Thank you for making such inspiring and gentle videos 😊

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello Jackie, Thank you watching :) I loved your point about the sheltered nature of the garden, within it's four walls and away for the outside world Colin can heal.

This spring, beginning in April, I'll celebrate as best I can with my favorite motif: blue and white objects. I don't have a garden or decent view of one, so I bring nature in with textiles, fake plants and eventually clean windows for a fresh, clean and cool effect (visually anyway). Happy Spring to Everyone.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Happy spring to you as well 🌿💐🌼 Your seasonal rituals sound lovely. A beautiful way to welcome spring 🌱 I love blue and white objects (my weakness are porcelain, especially plates and bowls, I may have bought a few recently🙂).

Very nice story. Thank you for sharing.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you Maria :)

Most of my favorite childhood books are from the swedish author Astrid Lindgren - I loved "The children of noisy village" and "Madita" especially, and I still read them from time to time 🤗❤️ I enjoyed this video a lot, it's so relaxing to watch you do all those creative things, and the embroidery and the journal pages turned out beautiful 😍 I'm glad I stumbled across your channel and subscribed immediately 😊 have an amazing Sunday my dear!

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much for your comment. I loved Pipi Longstockings when I was growing up - my favourite part is when she's watering the flowers in the rain just because she's been looking forward to watering and the garden and didn't want the rain to spoil her fun. Have a lovely Sunday as well!

[@LifewithAlegria]

What an exquisitely beautiful video Ida, with your gorgeous embroidery, drawing and journaling. I love The Secret Garden. In fact I made a video about it too. Mine was more along the lines of our thoughts and how our thoughts matter. So glad I found your channel. You have a new subscriber. Thanks for sharing. 🌸

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much! I have had a watch of your video, it's beautiful!
