I love how a garden changes every day, season, and year.
New blooms are coming soon…
Love to all of the bees who warn us to be more gentle.
Without you, I cannot think what we’d be. ~ Amor Milagre
August brings a new kitchen. What a lovely gift! We are fiddle-faddling with our favourite pancake flippers and arranging precious teacups in custom-fit drawers, newly handmade by my talented husband. We measured everything and designed special areas for each collection of kitchen items. The flow is important to get right. Ergonomics are vital to prevent pain. How splendid to unpack decades of patience into a beautiful, clean space! Everything has a home, and we can easily use everything now. This room used to be two, with walls missing and old floors, and the upcoming design reveals will show how much work it took to bring this calming, soft kitchen to life. Our Rose Cottage feels healthier every day.
We hope you are enjoying your summer lightning bugs and petals! Love, ~ Amor Milagre

A Gentle Life Collection by Amor Milagre
Today, I’m introducing Hoppy’s New Paperback Option, which is ethically and responsibly Made in the USA. Many more paperbacks will join the hardbacks and audiobooks in my Book Collection each season.
Hoppy Bunny gently teaches little readers how to use alphabet letters to invent nursery games and tell loving, kind stories with friends. Enjoy these sweet watercolour illustrations for a cozy feeling every time you snuggle up to read. Each letter of the alphabet is highlighted in a custom colour for that page.
A classic tale of the beloved toy friends in our Rose Cottage nursery makes for a favourite bedtime comfort. One of the infinite lovely things about children is the way they leave hilarious and darling scenes and surprises around the home. These pages capture a few of those precious moments when I happened upon a nursery story unfolding.
Hoppy Bunny practices mindfulness and shows how to take respectful care of all you have and love. This book was designed for all children, and it is especially inspiring for homeschool students who can use their surroundings and imagination to invent a story land of peaceful messages. Positive self-care practices are included as a loving guide to lead the self on a healthy path for a beautiful life.
A Gentle Life Book Collection: Peaceful, beautiful, healthy inspiration for a Gentle Life. Give the gift of Love & Peace by being Purely You.

My newest oil paintings are trickling into the shop. Here is such a one from this past winter-spring. It is a soothing abstract landscape of the wintry beach scene down the lane. Some pieces will have an art print & stationery card option, but some will not. The originals always sell out first. Snap them up quickly as they are affordably priced and one of a kind! Many more original pieces of various sizes and mediums are to come! As our garden grows, so does my art gallery. Each piece is featured in one of my books. New details are coming soon.

Fairies slumber in the shady bells of the creamy, freckled foxgloves. We visit them on summer mornings.
Each foxglove plant gives you a garden of seeds. Plant them, wait patiently, and adore.
Plant for pollinators. Stay hydrated. Love, ~Amor Milagre
Once upon a time…
New Helpful Stories are Coming Soon
In the evenings, scenes spill out and characters breathe life. Brushes sway and paint glistens in lamplight. A word can change your direction. An image can inspire a change in the wind. A voice can help the universe.
Fellow Authors, your work is powerful. Make it positive. Let’s turn this around and let it all be wonderful and safe. End the violence. Communicate love.
If you can spare any amount, please donate to helpful causes. The women and lost children of the world needed help yesterday. Use your empathy to help others survive. Save lives, prevent trauma and illness, and heal the world’s next generation of people, plants, animals, energy, water, earth, and air for a positive future.
Give Peace, Love ~ Amor Milagre
A table of earthy lavender feels real and full. So much of our modern world is fake, in denial, distressing, and all about the intended facade, but plants are usually pretty honest. I relish in the green air of my garden. The buds, the stems, the scents, the textures, and the flavours…
Bundles of twine-tied and dried bedroom bouquets, petals for dollhouse and wardrobe sachets, and savoured preserves for kitchen teatime potions adorn our Rose Cottage rooms this last week of June. Many blooms are left growing for the pollinators.
This spell is a simple one…scatter some seeds…rain…wait…and enjoy as your plants grow more lush every year! New blooms will come back soon after this trim. Our flowers bolted early from spring’s heat waves caused by climate change, and I am learning their new rhythms. Weeks of rain follow none at all, and I am glad we designed a drought-tolerant garden. The wildlife and pollinators adore the various intermingling plants. Glistening wings hover over large patches of colourful petals in a sparkling, humming cloud. Bliss! This is the ‘reality’ we love the most.
Roaming our rambling minty hills, we find inspiration. A handful of mint makes for a refreshing vegan shake. You can also mix the lavender and mint together in a fresh tea infusion to brew up a calming enchantment. Sit in the moment…feel that you are real and full of life! Grow goodness!
*New Green Witch books are coming soon. Check out my Lavender art pieces and books for more fresh air. Be truly you! Love, ~Amor Milagre
This is the week of the foxglove, buttercup, peony, iris, pollinator-loving wildflowers, lavender, and the first rose bloom. The soft, pillowy petals are beloved by all wildlife. It rains, bathing fuzzy stems in shining dew. We visit each bloom as it unfurls. The flowers are helped by glistening insect friends and greet the clouded sun, “Good morning!” This is an especially magical time to study and write about the poetry of nature… and of the self. Our lessons are taken into the garden with a cup of tea and an umbrella.
Sense all around your lovely being. How do you feel? What kind of messages are whispering to you?

Happy Last Days of June! Love, ~The Botanists at Rose Cottage, Amor Milagre
With each season, our garden renovation design grows in fuller than the last. We replaced lawns with perennial flowers and edible organic plant foods. We made fun pathways to explore under arches of towering stems and sweet blooms. The low buzzing hum increases, and new winged friends stay a while.
Scatter seeds and wait for your gorgeous surprise! Life awaits…
Let other flowers hold up earlier bloomers…they help as they grow…no prop sticks or twine needed!
Our first sense of the new flowering trees’ beautiful blooms! Stars! (Kousa Dogwood)
Sweet as June, an English Rose…heavenly scent…
Planting beds of flowering, fragrant thyme with many pollinator-loving flowers in between is a sustainable way to replace lawns, enjoy your garden, encourage wildlife, and always have healthy organic herbs for the kitchen! July blooms are coming soon…but we’ll sit and hum with these first…
Visit my nature photography and artwork collections to browse more inspiration from our garden.
Painting and music…my cloud of peace…
Synesthesia often feels painful due to our polluted world. When there is a rare, open, quiet moment I can add some low music to the air and paint the sound energy. This is a truly beautiful release of expression! Let go….. and smile…
The homeschool portfolio has been sent in. The kitchen renovation is wrapping up. This coming year allows for more painting time. New artwork and prints will flow into my shop in the coming seasons. Many new books feature fresh pastel and oil painting illustrations. The oil originals need some drying time before they ship. There are many new ideas and sensations to blend, scrape, and brush onto the patient blank canvases. I’ve been dreaming up stacks of paintings for decades…and now I have my little seasonal painting studio!
How do you love to enjoy your minutes?
*Health Tip for Painters: Don’t just stretch your canvas…stretch yourself! Music also helps to remind you to stretch before and after painting. Dance-painting is needed to reach the span of my larger canvases…and it’s fun! Sing, release, and have a blast connecting with your soul.
Grateful for these few rainy June days to help clear the wild, smokey air. Love to all who are affected by the wildfires.
Love, ~Amor Milagre
A small way to remember a Dear One is to keep something they adored near you.
Teacups and a purple cow creamer are our usable memory keepsakes. Baci, Nonna.
The new cottage kitchen shelves are happy to be useful. Unpacking after decades of being boxed up feels like a sigh… We’re little Mrs. Tiggywinkles today, washing and making things nice…but just need to find…the iron… We’re still a bit ruffly…which I do like, too.
If your keepsake is broken or lost, your sense memory is still there. The item was a just a symbol. Recipes are a great keepsake. You can remember flavours and scents to take you back into that joyful moment.
*Hold Sweet Memories Dear. Love, Amor Milagre
Good Afternoon. Did you know that Peace is where Romance lives? This post is an excerpt from my healthy lifestyle book, A Gentle Life by Amor Milagre. I sense the world has long been in a tangle. To unwind and release from this static, each one of us may gently be our true self and connect naturally. This is how the universe may feel…just right.
1. Awareness for the Senses
Feel your skin, your body functioning, your heart exhale, and your electrons buzzing all around you. Breathe in…and out. Feel what you love and what you lack. Listen and give. Feel again. Smile with your entire being. Connect with the trees. Feel their energy. Connect with each other. Send and receive loving energy. This is you. You are love. Love your body, mind, heart, soul, energy, and daily choices. Heal the past, be in the present, and open to the future. Love the connections and find pockets of joy in how you can share and grow this love. It’s infinite…and it’s always there…everywhere…waiting to be kissed up and hugged up and embraced fully with every spec in the universe. Burst with love! Let love accompany you during your day. Consume love. Breathe love in…and out. Listen to love as your lullaby. Dream love. It feels good.
2. Date Yourself
Before you can be present and emotionally in tune with anyone else, you can choose to be eternally in love with your inner and outer self. Try out self dates. Go to a variety of places (safely) and become aware of what you love. You may be surprised what you didn’t know you could enjoy! You can easily date yourself at home, too. Even ten minutes is enough time to check in. Explore new experiences. Exercise in gentle ways. What kinds of movement feel healthy? Wander and sense what your soul connects with. Take your time to know and feel and process. Sort it all out. Nourish healthy habits and memories, and let go of all negativity. It’s too heavy to hold, so let go. Adore your body and the mysterious and magical things it can do. You are connected to everything in the universe. What would you like to adorn your web with? People, places, and nature that match your true energy will connect with you naturally when you are living as your authentic self. Connect within. The confidence, sweetness, and fun that you have when alone is felt everywhere by you being you. This is attractive to yourself and the world around you. This is where peace and romance live…within your authentic self. You are all you need to feel wonderful. Always stay aware of the messages from your inner self, your soul, and your body. You can date yourself all your life. It is important to keep up with this respectful relationship, especially when you have others in your life. Communicate in a love language within and with others for a peaceful day. You choose…everything.
3. Express Yourself
Dancing to music you love, singing in the bath or shower, daydreaming, helping others, laughing and playing, crafting and scrapbooking, drawing and painting, exploring, sewing clothes and toys, acting and reading, inventing and building useful things with natural materials, sailing out with oars to float and unwind, sowing seeds and bulbs, playing instruments, writing creative stories and love letters, decorating, cooking and savouring, simplifying, walking in nature, swimming and climbing, being still, and meditating are just a pocketful of ways to embrace your emotions. Be aware to not bother or neglect others while you are expressing. Feel all of the emotions, process, and release. This positive practice allows air to flow through your energy. Your senses are set free, and you are open to experience this new moment. What do your senses tell you?
For more gentle living, read my original book collection and these journal posts. Listen with your heart. It may tell you something very different than what you think you feel. Listen….and love.
Love, Amor Milagre
What is in your basket today? What spills out into your journal? Examine….and Live Peace.
All children communicate in their own way. This post is a reminder for parents, caregivers, family, and school staff to be a safe place for children so that they may feel comfortable to express themselves in any way that comes naturally.
If you don’t yet understand their beautifully unique language, it is your responsibility to find out ways to learn their language and how to teach them everything. Neglect and negativity is unacceptable and so very damaging. Bridge the communication gap. It’s all about a translation. Think of people like countries, if it helps you, to understand that we each live in our own experience of the world. Begin with love, trust, and a sensitive promise that you will help them always. Let them know: You will be there, being supportive, healthy, safe, encouraging, and inspiring. You will listen with all of your senses. Empathy is the key to every language.
Everyone learns in their own way. Everyone deserves attention, patience, love, and a real education. Each child is beautiful and intelligent. Equality for education in every way is a basic right that needs to become a reality for each child worldwide. Every person has a lifetime of wonders to live and share with the world. Be the guide, the helper, the parent.
In our homeschool, we love to learn every language. We learn with every sense. We keep our minds open and invite new ideas and connections. Learning languages is interesting, humbling, and I encourage everyone to learn as much about other cultures as possible to create awareness for world peace.
Every person, no matter the age, can resolve, redesign, and replace ways of living that we know do not work by simply living empathically. Make it all better, not worse. Confusion is the beginning of learning something new. Open your heart and find out what comes next… I’ll let you know…it’s something very good. Trust me. You’ll love it!
Love to all of the children. You deserve everything positive, respectful, inclusive, and so very kind. Shine your light! Love, Amor Milagre
The Silent Child by Rachel Shenton is a short film that sheds a profound awareness for one example of a child who needs someone to really listen and help. Redesign every educational system to help everyone. Love to all.
In the pocket of a trusty travel bag fits a delicious novel and a sweet children’s book to savour on a train or plane, in a lamplit inn with the summer breeze kissing your robed cheeks, or swaying on a hammock in your back garden. ‘Il dolce far niente’ means the sweetness of doing nothing in Italian. Letting yourself find what you love nourishes and rejuvenates the soul. My books are for all ages and encourage authentic, kind, peaceful practices and ideas to try. I love rereading them with our family as I hope you do, too.
In this often chaotic world, I write ways to live beautifully and naturally. My characters help instead of harm. They are funny, sweet, thoughtful, and very real. I send love to anyone who must travel due to emergencies in their homeland. As I know too well, this kind of travel is not at all relaxing as a vacation would be. People leave to save their lives. They are trying to escape danger. All they had built is left behind, and they have to start over, usually with nothing. This is heartbreaking and incredibly dangerous. Precautions and safe help are urgently needed during times of war, natural disasters, and abuse. Every country must protect the rights of women and children. Re-abolish slavery for good. Replace the history of negativity with positive growth that benefits everyone. New beginnings are a chance to redesign for a better life. Although we all may miss precious things that were lost due to trauma, we can heal and rebuild a healthy future to keep all of the babies of the world safe. Peace is possible if we all choose it.
I include tragic misfortunes and terrible struggles in my books, but I paint up characters who help those in need of a positive solution to solve troubles that seem out of their control. There are too many large and small scale problems on every street and hill in the world. I write peaceful ideas in the hope that positivity will spread down those streets and over those hills to reach anyone who needs help the most. Any little bit of help can make the most important difference for one or many. I wish you a peaceful summer, and I urge everyone to do something that helps someone in the coming months. *Ask how you may help, and then listen. Work with people to solve and prevent problems. Ask if you did help, and listen again. Repeat forever.
I am working on a way for a percentage of each sale to be donated to an organization that directly aids those in need of help while searching for a safe, new home. Being forced to live a nomadic, uncertain life is cruel, dangerous, and terrifying. We all need a steady, safe home. We all can work together to help everyone have this basic need. Our world must get out of this constant survival mode and change into a deep, lasting time of healing. Equality and safety is needed worldwide.
In my gift shop, I also feature artwork and photography inspired by my travels. Nature adores us always…trailing all the way from a rose wall in Tuscany back home to a sweet rose blooming in our New England cottage garden. Help, don’t harm. Preserve nature. Enjoy your unique senses of nature.

My books are cosy to read, or listen to, when at home, on a work break or weekend, and while travelling. Many of my stories are set in New England, such as my Sage Rose Sorrel children’s books, but here are some others that you might love to tag along with as my characters explore new favourite places.
Amaranthe tells of living in NYC and France. Leona has lived in two homes in Italy: one by the mountains and one by the sea. Ellary Eden grows a helpful, enchanting garden in the Witching World! I have just finished three fresh novels for you to explore soon. There is one especially delicious new book that is set in Belgium! Every time you explore a new place, you learn so much for your life ahead.
Happy, safe travels to you! Love, Amor Milagre
This morning, an idea came to life. Magical vines danced in the blossom-scented breeze. Ribbons twirled around a wooden ring. Dreamy nappers smile up at the rose garden growing above their sweet, inventive minds.
Love to you, from Rose Cottage

Hello and Happy Spring!
This week, I’m re-introducing my Nursery Animal Art Collection as many new darlings will join these beauties this year. I am selling original watercolour paintings, art prints, and stationery greeting cards. Matching stationery card sets and children’s books will be released, too. I paint the animals’ essence and energy. The animals’ unique traits are clear and can be easily learned by little nature lovers. It is very important to raise awareness for preserving and respecting nature from an early age. Pollution is preventable and so is unnecessary extinction. The awe-inspiring patterns and characters of animals are forever inspiring. Many new little friends will run, hop, and splash into my shop each season. The papers are recycled and FSC Certified. I love to grow my animal family each year. I hope you will enjoy exploring my collections to mix and match the art to create your own unique art gallery and to give as special gifts for dear ones. All ages can enjoy my work, but they are especially sweet in a nursery.
Here are a few of the Best Sellers. One lady framed the leopard for her dining room. Another family bought most of the originals for their baby’s nursery. Many art prints and cards sell individually or grouped with my Illustrated Garden Alphabet Letters. New originals are coming up! Snap them up quickly, but if you don’t it’s ok…the 8X10″ prints are very clear and the ink is quite close to the original colours. I did many tests to make sure the prints were accurate. I prefer originals in our nursery. The Tiger, you see above, I reserved for our home. You may even frame the cards before or after sending to a friend. This week, these loves will run into my book file to join their connective story. Hope you have a good weekend with peaceful rest and wild daydreams.
Stay cosy and safe. Love to all, ~Amor Milagre

Our little family loves to play games…especially chess! Do you love games, too?
Years ago, I made a drawing of a chess piece whilst on a train to Paris. Recently, I wandered back in time through my travelling pink pocket sketchbook, and when I gently turned the page, a little dancer leaped out onto a sweet deckled notecard for you to send to a friend. This cheeky, yet empowering, Queen inspires a joyful energy for improving the mind. She reminds us that games are a wonderful way to spend time together. Happy Playtime! Love, Amor Milagre
