    So fun! My daughter who is turning 12 and I watch every one of your videos together. It’s our special time and she gets so excited when I tell her there’s a new Darling Desi! Tonight we ate soup and had brown bread with honey butter and watched! Love everything you recommend as always! Thank you for being beauty into the world and sharing it so joyfully with all of us!❤️

    Darling Desi can I just say God bless you. I have struggled with who I am for a long time. I felt I was very strange for wanting to feel and live like everyday is spring. I like old school clothing and pastel colors. Sense and Sensibility is my favorite, and I love watching the secret garden all the time. The little Princess 1995 I think you will love. It is a movie and the images that Sarah paints with her stories are so beautiful. I watch it when winter seems to be too long. I stumbled across your channel this week and have not stopped watching. Each time I watch I feel I am remembering who I am. I want to thank you with all of my heart. Keep being yourself. Sending virtual hugs your way.

    my favourite series that always gets me in a sunny, bright mood is "the Durrells in Corfu". As the name suggests, this series about an English family is set on the beautiful greec island of Corfu. It has everything i look for: aesthetics, an interesting storyline and the most beautiful character development one can ask for. I highly recommend it for spring to get you in a sunny mood!! (tho i often rewatch it during the endless dutch winter ;) )
    thank you for another great video Desi!

    To anyone who loves Jane Austen and loved Bridgerton there is a show called Sanditon. Jane started writing sanditon but was unable to finish it and it has been turned into a show. There is 2 seasons and a third season coming out in 2023. Its set in early 1800s england in the Regency era. The costumes are beautiful and takes place in a seaside town, is so cute. Its not steamy as bridgerton but the looks the characters give off is so... its just so good. Its on britbox if anyone is curious about watching. I think its so underrated and more people should know about it.

If you haven’t heard of her, I highly recommend Susan Branch’s memoirs The Fairy Tale Girl; Martha’s Vineyard, Isle of Dreams; and A Fine Romance. They’re my favorites-very cozy, beautiful, optimistic. I think you and she are kindred spirits!

    TV show recommendations:
    🌸 Emma (2009) BBC mini series version with Romola Garai, a seriously underrated version of Emma.
    🌸 Sanditon (2019-) its such a charming adaptation of Jane Austen's unfinished novel! Such a great cast and the sets are very romantic and beautiful.

    One of my all time favorite animes is called Snow white with the red hair. It is a fantasy romance about this girl named Shariuki who runs away from her old home to this new kingdom and meets a prince and goes to work at the palace as a herbalist. I love all the spring garden vibes it has and the romance is absolutely adorable.

      I love that one too. It is at the very top of my favorites list. If you want something similar with a female lead who not only get romance and tea time under the cherry blossoms watch The Story of Saiunkaku, sorry if I spelled it wrong, it is a great anime. The main character is tricked into marrying a king everyone says is stupid. She is a smart girl and very hard working the kings advisers know she can set the king straight. Lets just say she does more than that. She has many men fighting over her and she gains a position that only men can hold in court. It is romantic and a very uplifting story for any woman who loves loves and loves proving her worth. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    Cottagecore youtube channels, books and movie recommendations:
    - Nekoniwa (UA-cam channel)
    - Choki (UA-cam channel)
    - When Marnie was there (you might’ve seen the movie, but it is actually based on a book that is really cozy and heartwarming)
    - Charley (the girl who ran away), it is by the same author that wrote When Marnie Was There
    - I am also a huge anime and manga fan, so I definitely recommend Tamako Market and the movie Tamako Love story (I would recommend you to watch the movie after the show), Violet Evergarden, Your Name, A Silent Voice and Summer Wars.
    + after watching the movie Tamako Love story, I highly recommend the AMV : “potsu - tamako love story” by sunset boy. It will make you so emotional, in a totally good way…
    Love your videos, have been watching you for more almost two years now :) !!

    I always love your seasonal recommendation lists and love when you include movies, TV and activities as well as books, although obviously, I can never get enough books. I have two spring recommendations for you in case you haven't come across them before. They are both very retro so you never know. The first is the stop motion version of Wind in the Willows from 1983. I was astounded by the artistry of the stop motion and the figures used for the characters and sets. It is easily found on UA-cam if you search for it. The second is the Royal Ballet's version of The Tales of Beatrix Potter. Even if you are not a big fan of ballet, this is a treat to watch. The masks and costumes are just amazing, and the way the dancers move to become the animals is very cute. And while I'm on about The Royal Ballet, their version of Alice in Wonderland is also an amazing treat for the eyes. Just magical. Hope you have a happy spring!

Rose Daughter is very garden and cottagecore, and Beauty is soooo fairytale and romantic, one of my favorites. And if you liked the book about the gardens/places that inspired Tasha Tudor, you would like Unearthing the Secret Garden, which is written about Frances Hodgeson Brunetts garden🥰 it’s non fiction but I couldn’t put it down

    I always watch The Secret Garden in March, the one with Colin Firth and I always watch Pride and Prejudice, the one with Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier. This is when I discovered Jane Austen when I was younger. I know it's not considered a good one but I love the costumes, all the gardens, etc. Happy Spring Desi.

    Desi, I think you would love The Borrowers by Mary Norton! It was written in 1952 and it's about a family of little people who call themselves the Borrowers because they live in between the walls and the floorboards of an old house and they collect the lost items of the family that lives there. It's about how their daughter, Arriety, gets spotted by a little boy who comes to live there and all their adventures. It's super cute and sweet!

    I recommend: Dead Poets society (film).
    Beautiful story, in a boarding school setting - - I currently live in a 450 year old cottage in Leicestershire but have to leave in summer, so I am soaking up all my last few months here!

    If you're into shows like Downton Abbey or Anne with an E I would also totally recommend Lark Rise To Candleford for some spring vibes! It's set in England around 1880 and is about a girl from a small hamlet in the countryside who moves to a nearby small town to work in the postoffice. It has a lovely feel good vibe and is very wholesome. Especially from the second season onwards the warm yellow colours are gorgeous!

    So glad you recommended "The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter" previously. I've been binging the audiobooks and think I've found a yearly tradition. Spring is actually my least favorite season, but your videos, these books, and an attempt to go enjoy others' gardens (like botanical or city ones) has helped. For anyone else reading this, the audiobook versions of these books are outstanding- the narrator is amazing.

    Hi, I just wanted to tell you how much I love your videos and how happy happy and cosy they make me feel every time I watch them. Sometimes, I just don't feel so good, I need cheering up, or now, when I am studying for finals and I need a little boost, I love coming to your channel. You are such a beautiful person, in and out, thank you much for this!
    PS: Don't exhaust yourself and take care of yourself and your mental health!

    I agree with so many if your film choices!!! Emma is one of my absolute favourites. 'enchanted April' has also been adapted into a film and its really good as I saw you mentioned the book. It is a children's book but ' a year in the city' is still one of my favourites all these years later with fab illustrations and a beautiful representation of the different seasons xx
