🌼 Cottagecore books, movies, tv shows || to feel all the springtime vibes 🌼

Please Desi, don't EVER underestimate the positive effect you are having on people's lives!!

I live in an Irish cottage & can confirm, cottagecore life is great 👍🌿🌻

These comments are full of great recommendations 😭 I want to stay in this side of YouTube for ever.

Cottagecore seems to me to just be the updated term for Pastoral Romance, a genre that was particularly popular after the industrial revolution where suddenly everyone was working in hustling bustling cities and the countryside life was romanticized. You can see this in Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale 🍓 great video Desi!

Watched Pride and Prejudice (2005) yesterday, been drinking all the tea, reading by the light of my window, etc., so yeah, you could say at this point I am literally injecting spring into my veins

I don’t know if these strictly fit in with the cottagecore aesthetic but here are a few more recommendations that remind me of cottagecore: -the first boxcar children book -little women (book and movies) -pollyanna movie with hayley mills -little house on prairie series -fairies by brian froud -samantha’s cookbook from the american girl doll company -the borrowers -madeline books -entangled life (book about fungi) -most of emily winfield martin’s artwork and books

I know how we all think Desi is so sweet and her videos are beautiful but I want to say that during this tough time (quarantine and lockdown), these videos are my only source of happiness and joy! The best channel to escape from depression and anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing your magic with us ✨🌿🌸👒💛

THE REDWALL BOOKS !!! They're so wonderful. A blend of Brambly Hedge and the Hobbit. so so good.

I AM GOING TO SCREAM - YOU are my aesthetic!!!!!!!!!! YOUR LIFE is GOALLLLSSSS

I grew up with brambly hedge and I love it so much! My Mum would read it to us at bedtime, and every Christmas we'd watch the 1996 TV series. I remember being so scared of the weasel! My mum even knitted us little figures of each character and we used to act out the stories. To this day if the wind makes a whistling noise at a family gathering one of us will shout "it's the weasel!"

If you want animated cottagecore, Once upon a aforest was my childhood intro to this aesthetic💕💕🥺The story is told woth cute talking animals.and igs so warm and emotional.

I love how they're already nine comments on a 23 minute video posted 6 minutes ago 💓

Lark Rise to Candleford is a beautiful show! I rarely heard it talked about, but it's a gem!

Also...not sure if it counts but the movie Leap Year with Amy Adams is mostly set in the Irish countryside and always makes me feel cozy

Can I nominate Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, especially his ones about witches? Equal Rites, the Witch series and the Tiffany Aching series are all PURE cottagecore. Equal Rites reminds me of growing up in the Scottish highlands and is my go to comfort book.

you'd love cranford, its a bbc show set in the english countryside in the early 1840s in the village of cranford in cheshire, the story is about the town's single and widowed middleclass female inhabitants who are comfortable with their traditional way of life and place great store in propriety and maintaining an appearance of gentility. it's really lovely and so cottagecore

Perhaps the ultimate endearing talented American artist, author, gardener, mother extraordinaire Tasha Tudor. She truly lived an amazing life. There are some great documentaries out of her life and great YouTubes. Her sketches and photographs of her and her children living their simple life says it all.

North and South (book and the movie) by Elizabeth Gaskell

My all time favourite tv show is Pushing Daisies and I would say it definitely has some good cottagecore elements to it, as well as some magic and quirky vibes! But the colour palate is bright and pastels. The main character is a pie maker with the magic ability to bring people back from the dead for 60 seconds, then touches them again and they stay dead forever. He partners with a PI to bring murder victims back from the dead to find out who killed them and then they seek justice (and collect the financial reward). Everything is going according to plan until one of the murder victims is his childhood crush and he has to decide if he’s going to keep her alive for longer than 60 seconds (never being able to touch her again or she’ll die permanently) and risking the life of a nearby person who would die in her place. His childhood crush is everything cottagecore, her dresses and aesthetic, her personality! She loves reading and gardening, she’s a beekeeper, she has a lot of hobbies and is a super kind soul!! If you haven’t seen it, I highly, highly recommend it!! There are only 2 short seasons, with about 13 episodes in each one!

For the French readers, here are a few of the titles that I could find were translated 😀 Anne la maison aux pignons verts Les souris des 4 saisons Journal champêtre de Édith Holden Les 2 princesses de Bamarre Le vent dans les saules Heidi Loin de la foule déchaînée Le château de Cassandra Le jardin secret
