We go out for a stroll after dinner late August, gleaning old lovely names, once prettily new, for our stories. I’m writing more about the beauty and calm of the separated lives of nocturnals this week.
Make a safe feeling to leave in your name. Love, ~ Amor Milagre
I’ve released the first stationery pieces in my new Autumn 2026 Collection. Let the magic begin! Love, ~Amor Milagre
Four black cats bring luck to the recipient of your four romantic deckled-edged notecards any day of the year. These are especially sweet come October when bewitchments are abound!
Skate with me… I love rollerskating. It’s a simple way to explore the world feeling free and easy. A pencil-drawn book illustration to invoke sweet childhood memories printed on a fine art card comes with an envelope so you may easily mail artwork to dear ones, pin on mood boards, and add to 5″x7″ frames. Use it as a charming bookmark as well! This pencil drawing appears in one of my children’s books. New treasuries are coming up this winter.
Holiday berries and cream are the colour palette here in our finished sitting room renovation. The hearth is bright and airy and decorated for each season. The raspberry walls hug us as we play. We chose healthy materials, built in useful storage, and we love this custom design by yours truly. It is satisfying to turn a dusty dysfunctional house into a dream come true. We are loving this useful, festive room. Many more of our Rose Cottage room makeovers are coming up soon. Happy living! Love, ~Amor Milagre
There are lots of wooden desks and cosy corners. Little pumpkin soup dinners and first snowfalls are the focus this fall. I write stories every day. Now, I’ll be in full editing mode, so I’m planning a simply cosy autumn for our daily mood. New books will release this winter! We have more time this year, having finished our Rose Cottage renovations. We’re finally settling in now. Making mood boards is a fun routine we enjoy each season. What wondrous things you’ll reflect on when you take a moment to dream…. All ages can make one. Can you find the shimmer of magic woven throughout the ideas? Love, ~Amor Milagre
There are many ways to enjoy the little moments of each day. Baking a special treat, such as this apple pie, can be shared piece by piece all week in the evenings. Reading a longer bedtime story, bit by bit each night, is a fun way to connect not only to the reader and the laugher, but to a healthy tradition of togetherness and dependability. Getting back to private fun phone calls that only two friends can hear is bliss, unless there is someone listening in then you have to play a few jokes on the eavesdropper. “Gotcha!” Remember doing things you actually like to do, things just for you. This is life. This is living. These little moments feel natural and good. They’re real. And, then you’ll remember that you are real, too! Unplug, mill around the house, browse a bookshelf, sit in the fresh air, go for a stroll, and draw out something pleasant for you to breathe into.
If you won’t get your lovely eyes offline just yet, you can watch some new SHORTS on my video channel about favourite homeschool books and our April garden blooms and evergreens. These are some unplugged ideas of how to enjoy your days with self-education and nature-loving gardening. The nurseries are opening now. Go out and explore that lovely greenhouse air. Happy Spring!
