Jumping into the lake with all clothes on was the cherry on top of a math-filled, novel editing/illustrating, cosy keep cool kind of Tuesday here at Rose Cottage. Tomorrow will be an oil painting, salad mixing, garden green bean & blueberry picking sort of Wednesday.
What lovely littles fill your days this week? Love for all the fun little things! Love, ~Amor Milagre
Then on Wednesday…
Good afternoon, Love Doves…
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

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
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.
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.
Which characters and places speak to you?
Our mer-family is on a quest to find an unpolluted swimming spot for the spring through autumn time. Water is a healing way to connect with the soul. In our last town, we enjoyed two private, yet open to the public, waterscapes. It is still an unsavoury thought that where there is pollution in one place that it flows into everything else, including us. We urge everyone to end this pollutive madness and begin to repair our planet. Here, there are many small areas with too many people and boats. At first, this spot seemed alright for painting on cool days when no one else comes, but the boat fuel pollution renders it unsafe for a swim. I also wouldn’t be able to go now due to the road traffic and town renovation sound/vibration pollution. We, of course, will not reveal our findings…but you may still wish us luck! We’ll need it.
In the meantime, care about your footsteps…leave only love behind. Nature is worth preserving. We are a small part of her, and we depend on her. Love Nature, for she loves us.
After finishing a book series, several years in the making, I celebrate this thrilling liberation with some cosy bakes and cooks: a weekly vegetable soup, some demi biscuits, baby tarts, and spiced apples.
I look forward to releasing my most darling novel series soon. Imagine, if we could be outside once again…what inspirations would then flow in…
A happy unpolluted spot of summer to you! Love, ~ Amor Milagre
