I welcomed the first official spring weekend with some new floral dresses (ad - gifted from Marie Zelie - see below for discount code) and curated a spring bookcase with some of my favourite titles. Mum also shows how to make her everyday loaf bread (highly requested after my last vlog!), and I open some exciting book parcels. The recipe for the bread is below. Thanks so much for watching!

Hello Miranda. Very enjoyable episode. Your new dresses are stunning and look beautiful on you. Thank you to your mom, Donna, for the bread baking demonstration. It looks delicious. A trick I learned to help bread dough rise in a cold room is to place the covered bowel on a heating pad set on the lowest setting. I hope you don't mind my commenting on your beautiful cross stitch again. Cross stitching is a great passion of mine and I would love to see your progress on your project and to know how you started stitching and when. Thank you.....Crystal.

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thanks very much! I started cross-stitching as a young girl. I'll share my progress with current project when I'm able to in a video. Hope you're having a lovely week xxx

@deannab9511 3 года назад

Would you please do a house tour? I know it's not what your channel is about but I'm sure it's lovely.😊 Thanks for your consideration.

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Maybe one day! But to be honest it’s pretty much all there in the videos already! It’s not very big!

@sunshineseaandvitamind8620 3 года назад

@@MirandaMills I love your house decor and your nice solid wood traditional furniture. Where does one even go to purchase them? We are constantly bombarded with ugly bulky characterless dfs and the like.

@pamelapoet9 3 года назад

This was so charming. And those dresses are just gorgeous. They scream "Miranda"! What a lovely life in the country you have both created. It's a treat to be invited into it.

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you for your lovely comment, Pamela! Hope you're having a lovely week xxx

@deannab9511 3 года назад

I can't say how much I love the both of you, your energy is wonderfully contagious 💗! You really bring brightness to my day! Miranda you look absolutely gorgeous in your new dresses, they are so you. 😍 Thanks for sharing

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you so much! That’s so lovely of you to say ❤️😘

@lindadavis5904 3 года назад

I love your new dresses - they are so pretty and feminine - you look so pretty in them!!! I especially love the bright floral one. Thanks for showing them to us. I love you and your mom and look forward to your videos together.

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so thrilled with the dresses - I've actually bought one myself this morning 😂

@paulamoreshead1694 3 года назад

As much as I truly enjoyed this vlog post and the dresses, books, and food, I have to tell you how much I love the wallpaper mural in the background of the room where you modeled the dresses...absolutely gorgeous!

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you! The wallpaper is very old & fragile but very beautiful 💛

@gailgilchrist5421 3 года назад

What a cheerful, uplifting video! It really put a smile on my face. Those dresses are lovely. They remind me of the many floral Laura Ashley dresses I used to love wearing. The "William Morris" dress is my favorite and those slit sleeves are a nice detail. Your arrangement of Spring books inspired me to locate my Folio Society Spring anthology, which I've been paging through just now. Thank you for another lovely video.

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you so much, Gail! You're right - they remind me of Laura Ashley dresses (the way they used to be) too! xxxx

@mariajohnson2294 3 года назад

You look SO lovely in those dresses!!!

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I’m really thrilled with them!

@lizdorrington2851 3 года назад

Your spring bookshelves are amazing! Do you plan to try and get through all those beautiful books throughout spring? Your dresses are simply made for you! Just gorgeous!

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you! I’ve read pretty much all of them already, so I wouldn’t reread them all, but it’s nice to make a display of favourite titles!

@julieg_quebec-julesselivre8641 3 года назад

You two are so lovely to watch. These dresses are so amazing! They fit you so well! 👌🏻

Thank you so much, Julie! I'm thrilled with the dresses! xxx

@DianeC1975 3 года назад

Your dresses are so pretty. Enjoyed watching this new vlog. The bread looked good too. Loved your bookshelf. My best to you and your mother. Til next time. 👍📚💕

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you so much, Diane! Have a lovely week 🌸

@teresaparkins1255 3 года назад

Hello Miranda and Donna! What a treat to see you both and to enjoy baking, books and dresses too. Thank you so much for such a lovely celebration of Spring. Lunch in the garden was just the most delightful way to end a perfect day. Have a wonderful week both, Teresa 🌸👗🍞📚🫖🌼

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you very much, Teresa! It was wonderful to have lunch in the garden on the first day of spring! Hope you're having a good week xxx

@wendyluvsbooks1580 3 года назад

Dresses look beautiful on .... and bread looks yummy .... thank your mum for sharing that recipe with us maybe she could share her quiche recipe ? That would be wonderful 📚💞📚 I love Anne of green gables and yes a house tour would be great and the gardens around the house as it all looks wonderful 😊😊

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you! Yes, we'll have to share the quiche sometime! xxx

@lindseymoore1292 3 года назад

So much to enjoy, as always. Love the spring fabrics of the dresses and they both look great on you, Miranda. Will give my breadmaker a rest and try Donna's recipe sometime soon. The GGB book bundles were such an enviable selection. I received a bargain book in the post this morning and I've just spotted the same edition on your seasonal shelves: Miss Read's Country Bunch (it was thrillingly signed by Dora Saint). I love the cover with the spring flowers in the antique jug, a very fashionable theme with artists and illustrators right now! Hope you both have a lovely week!

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you very much, Lindsey! I just love the cover of Country Bunch too - so springlike and charming! Enjoy your week as well xxx

@karenbrowne7233 3 года назад

What a fabulous few days, dresses, sunshine, blossom and books, is there anything more perfect 😍 I’ve been receiving the the GGBP newsletter for a while now and have a number of their books on a wish list; I didn’t realise that they are packed with so much interesting information. Can’t wait to start my collection, my budget over the last couple of months has gone on sooo much fabric, I’ve a lot of dresses waiting to be made! I think April will be all about sewing whilst waiting for a new collection of books to arrive 🤣

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Your sewing projects sound very exciting, Karen! How fun to make your own clothes. Yes, that’s part of what really makes GGBP special - Ann & Clarissa work so hard to add a lot of value by all the additional material they include xxx

@GinaHouse 3 года назад

What a lovely video!! You look beautiful in your new dresses and I'll have to check out that website. I love to wear pretty dresses :D So glad for your mom's bread recipe. My husband will be really happy to have a loaf of homemade bread this week. Thank your mom for me! I love unboxing videos and your new arrivals made me want to buy everything from Girls Gone By! I think I have 4 or 5 books from them already, but I can't wait to get more. Have a wonderful rest of the week! xoxo :)

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you so much, Gina! I have such a soft spot for floral dresses too. Hope you enjoy giving my Mum's loaf a try! xxx

@michellewu4155 3 года назад

So lovely Miranda! Love your new dresses and your pretty spring bookcase🌸 my readings are still very wintery 😂

@victoriah.3491 2 года назад

The only thing missing Ms MIRANDA & "MUM" (my future adoptive Mum!!) is ME washing the dishes up. 😆 But seriously I would love to see you, Miranda, with hat, parasol &/or gloves. The 👗 s are DIVINE on you...❤️🇺🇸🌍🇬🇧 Luv from across the puddle.

@VictoriaPichel 3 года назад

well, I've never baked bread and you've certainly tempted me! It looks easy enough for a beginner like me. Let's hope my silly oven behaves! Also, I love the way you curate your bookcase with books showing their covers. It's a lovely way to enjoy them, because all we normally see are just spines, don't we? I'll try and do something similar. Display some of my fav book covers. I've for sure forgotten how most of them look! Hope you manage to recover access to your IG account soon. Have a lovely rest of the week. Love to you both.

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

Thank you! I hope you have fun curating your own bookcase & giving the bread a go! Xxx

What a lovely springtime vlog! Miranda your new dresses are just gorgeous, and suit you very well. Thank you Donna for the walk through of your 'everyday' loaf, it looks delicious, and manageable to make. I think spring is further ahead in Yorkshire than here in Scotland, we are not quite at the sitting outside stage yet! X

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

So glad you enjoyed it, Penny - thanks very much! I'm so pleased with the dresses, and yes Mum's loaf is definitely worth a try! Hope spring comes for you soon xxx

A City of Bells is my absolute favorite Goudge (as far as I can pick an absolute favorite Goudge, because I love them all so much 😆). I have that edition of Henrietta's House, the cover is so lovely! 🌸 Those dresses look gorgeous, I will have to look into that company. 😍

Hi Miranda, these dresses are so pretty, thank you. Also I was wondering where you bought the dress you are wearing. I love the soft blue especially.

Thank you so much for inviting us all along to share your journey xx .

You look absolutely lovely in both dresses!! You need to have another afternoon tea wearing one. They will be perfect with your new handbag ❤ Your mum is just adorable too. A true lady! I was wondering if you have ever read Anya Seton? I am new to your channel but you would love her books. Your spring bookcase is so bright and charming!

@MirandaMills 3 года назад

I agree, that dress is screaming for an afternoon tea outing! Can't wait for when we can go out and about again. I haven't read any of Anya Seton's books - thanks for the recommendation! xxx
