I am taking time this week to fill up my new Etsy Shop. For my customers who are already over on that site, this makes it a little easier to check out. I will be adding in a few products a week. This is a curated core collection of my art, books, stationery, wax seals, and home gifts, so to shop the full range of growing collections stay here on my official site at amormilagre.com
Wishing the August babes an early Happy Birthday! Love, ~Amor Milagre
We have a family sticker box. We also have sticker tins in our rooms. Everyone has a journal. Voila! Express, when you like, how you like. Today was breezy. I actually got to open our back windows, and memories of a special summer mood whooshed in. We did laundry and lessons. We wrote stories and read. Air. Openness. Beauty of the soul…endless rooms to explore.
One of my upcoming projects is a collection of unique Amor Milagre book illustration stickers. It will grow each season along with my current wax seal designs, art prints, bookshop, and stationery. We love stickers, so this will be extra special to use our very own artwork with our daily journals.
Amor Milagre Mini will have fun with this medium as an ongoing homeschool project. This week, we’re scanning piles of beautiful original artwork. I save everything. We just sorted and filed all of the new paintings. It’s quite the library to choose from so I’m excited to work on this collection.
Do you practice calligraphy? Do you enjoy the simple joy of stickers? Do you keep albums or scrapbooks? What kind of art, stories, days, and weather do you love dearly? I like to use stickers as gentle inspirational reminders. View some of our daily goals below.
Happy expressing life! Love, ~ Amor Milagre
Amor Milagre Cosy Autumn Journalling
These stickers were collected from various shops over the years… We like cosy interiors, baking, and garden ones the best. I can’t wait to introduce my own!
The Gift of Gift Giving at Amor Milagre, Birthday Presents, Gift Shop
That special feeling when you’ve found just the right gift for a Dear One…mmm…just delicious!
Sometimes in life you are unable to find dream gifts, or you are unable to afford them. It’s never too late! Today, I am wrapping up something that I wish we had found several years ago, but the thrill is still the same in the giving of this gift. I am very happy that we are finished with our home and garden renovations because now we have time to celebrate every day, every drawer, every plank, and every outlet cover. Teddy bears, ribbons, and pink! That sums us up right now.
I provide personalized gifts in my shop, so please take a gander and see what sparks a gifting notion for you. Happy Birthdays! Love, ~ Amor Milagre
Amor Milagre Journal, Our Summer family gifts from The Bees Knees British Imports, Paddington, Peter Rabbit, Pretty Mugs, Sewing Thread Tin
I love gift shops so much that it was my dream to have my own, but full of my original art, books, stationery, and home goods. While we do use and decorate our home with my lovely seasonal gifts for special occasions, we also like to shop once a year at The Bees Knees British Imports shop. These women exude happiness. It’s so fun to visit their online shop, and we hope to one day visit their MA store.
The British Store, Bridgham & Cook shop in Freeport Maine, is a local (to us) place to choose our annual themed ornament. I used to love exploring every UK-sourced shop in whichever city I was living. I’m a collector of newsboy hats, tartan scarves, and cable knit jumpers, but only the rare organic cotton ones. (As always, not a sponsored post, just like this co.)
Then for some extra flavour, we bake and snuggle up with our favourite BBC programs like Gardener’s World and Agatha Raisin, Miss Scarlet, Jane Austen movies, old stop-motion Paddington episodes, Beatrix Potter’s friends, Mr. Bean (not while eating), and our silly old Pooh Bear movies. Recently, we found an odd but funny little show called, Five Children and It. Very odd, but fun to see what the kids wish for. Many of our books are by British authors, so it’s a cosy day of tea and reading in the sitting room nook, curled up in bed, or in the sun of the library. We hope the Brambly Hedge fine china designs come back! We love the puzzles.
This week, we’re organising our sewing supplies. This little thread tin will help to keep our current threads in one place…and not rolling off the table. The prettily threaded tote bags will hop along with us on outtings in town. We’re very much a family of library owls. And, the mugs…we just use daily so it’s fun to catch up on certain ones. Love the flora-fauna one. It has a good feel, and when we find some each year, it builds up a nice collection in our custom-made tea drawer. Ours is a home of artists and writers, so having these classic illustrations about is another fun way to celebrate the imagination. I’ve been waiting years to see these lovelies in shops again, and done very well. Quality matters a lot to me. We only buy special things that will last lifetimes. We only make special things that will last for ages. It’s fun to take care of your treasures.
When I was a teen, there was a beautiful online French gift shop where I got some lovely tablecloths and some amazing rainbow striped high-top espadrilles. There is just something about wanting to find a gift for yourself, or a Dear One, and being surrounded with a curated array of gorgeous options to wander and choose as you like. As a child, there was a local gift shop that was absolutely bewitching to explore. I recall a very elegant (expertly handmade) winged frog fae on a shelf that really sparked a new kind of magic in me. I have many plans to add to A Gentle Life Collection…coming up, my Darlings.
Well, we’re away laughing on a fast camel…bringing strawberry vegan icecream cones down to the beach. Happy summer birthdays! Love, ~Amor Milagre
July is the month when we have a mini winter holiday, snuggle up to read frosty stories, wrap up gifts for December, and edit & illustrate sweet snowy tales in our finished library.
❄️ Teacups and quiet moments… Love, ~Amor Milagre
The Illustrated Self-Health Novelette Series will begin to release in 2026, one love-packed volume at a time.
Atelier Amor Milagre, Novel Illustrating Day, Office Interior Design, Library Renovation, Book Character Watercolour Paintings
My growing book illustration collection (stationery and fine art prints) for each novelette will be available to shop ahead of the paperback volumes & audiobook releases. As there are so many, I prefer to list them as they are completed. These will soon join the Leona novel and children’s book artwork. I’m painting with watercolours on aged deckled-edge papers and with oil on canvas. (FSC) There are also charcoal and fine nib ink renderings, too. I go with what the character tells me they’re most like.
