Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your vlogs, I have been watching them for years (and I very rarely comment) but I found them so comforting!! Thanks for the hard work!! You're one of my favorite booktubers! ☺
I am 40 and have two kids and I am loving seeing more fantasy coming out representing older women that are also moms but also can still be interesting with a badass life. I have Amina on my bookshelf but I'm holding off for it to be my first summer read.
@1:40 watching the assembling of this journal section is so satisfying. It's a gorgeous work of art 👍😁
your journal looks gorgeous!! also sending you some good vibes so the angry deity gives you a break 😭
I definitely don't hear enough about fantasy books with older protagonists, especially not women! Always down for more recommendations for those 💕
Gorgeous grey cat!! 😍 ..... OH!! Two cats!! 🤩🤩
🌸🌹🌺🌼🌻🌷🌱 happy spring. :)
I ❤ the Witch Caskets you get!! 👍
I always love watching your reading vlogs 🥰📖📚🤍✨
🪴 Love the plants! Girlfriend you need a PO Box so little fairies 🧚♀️ can send you things like lavender seeds LOL! Thanks for the video!
I would love one but they’re so expensive 😭
🪴🪴🌻🌷🥀🌱🌿🌹Hello lovely, Another lovely homely vlog. I do love these types of vlogs. Ostara is one of my favourite Pagan sabbats along with Imbolc and Samhain. I just love the changing of the seasons and the wheel of the year turning once again. I decorated my sabbat alter for the season and next week my sister, niece and i are going to a witchy, soul and spirit fayre to have a look around and then go for a coffee and some scrummy cake. I mean it would be rude not to. lol. Have a better more chilled week this week. xx

I could be wrong but I think you generally get lavender as small bushes rather than seeds, I've never seen them as seeds in any case. Hope your house troubles get solved soon that sounds like a nightmare!! 😱
Loved the vibes from this video as always despite all the troubles you've had this week! 🌱
One thing i want to do this spring is watch the newest version of the secret garden as the trailer made my cottagecore heart very happy 😂
Oooohhhh, thanks for the witchy recs. Must add them to the list for my witchy reads book club.
I loved this video and oh my god I want those cats, they’re adorable, give me a cat over a child any day 😂
🌱 🍀🌱

You have made me want to dig my fingers into some soil and do some gardening! I live in Canada though so even though the solstice has happened we're still pretty firmly in winter (although yesterday it was 10 degrees and sunny!) so it's a bit early for me yet. I need to do a bit of research and figure out what herbs and medicinal plants I want to grow this summer!
Hi im new here and really enjoyed this first video, looking forward to watching more 😊
Love watching your videos for all the witchy recs ❤ I'm also from Sheffield and always have to travel to like Leeds for signings so it must be cool to live somewhere where u don't have to travel for book events 😂

Omg I didn’t know plant magic was out! I want that whole series, so $$$ tho but definitely worth saving up for.
I still need to read priory 🥹
🌿
Lavender is hard to start via seed, you can do it but they tend to be hard to start. Best to do cuttings or transplant You may try for seed a uk based seed bank. I grow in the U.S. but there’s lots of heirloom and/or open pollinated seed companies in the uk. You may try the Seed Co- Operative?
omg i feel you on the lavender seeds!! somehow i can find entire plants to buy but never seeds to try and do it myself. thank you for another cozy vlog to start spring with 🌱🪴🌿

🪴🪴 love watching your plant care clips. The odea of growing your own plants on a windowsill to use is definitely something I want to do but I think my cat would just try mess it up 😅
Turns out another Ashleigh video was just what I needed right now, thank you x I hope that all of your little things have smoothed out and aren't giving you too much trouble now.
Thank you so much! 🤎 not entirely solved but we’re getting there aha
watching your videos is always so soothing.. for someone with no green thumb vibes and kills all plants, I always want to go out and buy some 😂 I also loooooved the pin in the March Witch Casket, so beautiful ❤
I have killed far too many plants to be trustworthy yet 😂 I seem to have more luck raising them from baby size than I do buying and rehoming
Easy tea seeds to start that would grow well in pots indoors in full sun include lemon balm, mint, and basil, (I adore tulsi/holy Basil for tea)
Also I’m prob super comment spamming you but you could try mini dwarf tomato varieties! A variety I adore is Orange Hat
🌿🌱🌸

Happy Ostara, I'm looking forward to planting things soon as well! 🪴🌷🌼🌿🌻🌺🌱
The Esoterica books are stunning! Taschen just knows how to make art books, I have a fair few of their books!
Love the video Ashleigh! The tea company Bird & Blend do matcha tea online (pretty expensive but they're a climate-conscious company). I've never had the matcha from there, just the loose leaf teas and they're pretty banging =)
I'm loving all the aesthetic shots in this video 🥰
Not sure if this helps, but I am used to buying or growing lavender from cuttings not seed. Maybe try looking for a local nursery (plant nursery not child nursery) and seeing if you can get lavender that way. It can be quite temperamental so maybe get some care advice for it too. 🌱
🌻🌷🌺🌸🌹💐Propagating my “goldfish” plant is on my spring to-do list. It’s struggling. What I most look forward to in springtime is hummingbird season which for me begins early to mid April (southeast US). Your witch casket boxes are fascinating!
It’s the season for saving all the plants that struggled through winter 😂 hummingbird season sounds fascinating, we don’t have many of them here!
OMG I have the three from Tashen as well and didn't know there was a fourth! Well next to amazon!
🌷🌺🌻🌱
🪴Today I started painting the background for a daffodil embroidery pattern to mark the start of spring!
Omg stop thats so cute!
I just bought Amina, hopefully I like it.
I've been seeing quite a bit about Amina al-Sirafi, but I have literally no interest in it whatsoever!! Your videos are always so calming, and I'm very happy that the start of spring is now upon us! 🌿
🌱🌼
☘You started a fascinating conversation about heritage and culture and more. I am an American whose ancestors came from Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany, and Norway and probably from other places I don't know about. I am not Scottish, but I want to know more about Scotland both past and present. I am not Norwegian, but I want to know more about Norway past and present. And I also want to more about America. You have my head spinning in wonderful ways. Thank you, Ashleigh.🌲🌴🌷🌿☘
I’m going to say Amina is somewhere in her early to mid 30s and you don’t usually get immature protagonist like this that often in fantasy books she is not past her prime but she is seasoned and experienced

Just wanted to ask, do you give names to your plants, or am I the only crazy person who has 40+ plant all with nametags...?🌱🌱
🪴☘️🌱🌿 Hi honey! I had one very important question: I'm going to spend a week in Edinburgh end of June, for my 30th birthday (god I'm old). And to celebrate, I want to get my first tattoo. I was wondering if there were any tattoo artists that you particularly like (I looove yours).
Thanks for all your content! I watch all of your videos ❤
I got my collarbone one done by lunarwitch_tattoo (Instagram) but she’s currently in the process of opening her own store so unsure if she’ll be available then! My wrist tattoos were done at Tribal Body Art on Canongate. I also love Uprooted_Ink but they’re in Newcastle so a train ride outside of Edinburgh!
@@AFrolicThroughFiction Hi! Thank you for answering, that's so sweet. Tribal body art sounds great and they were really nice when I called. So yeah, I'm probably gonna get my first tattoo. Let's celebrate 🥰🎂
Ah I was in Toppings the day before you went there, they had an event that evening as well! I actually also visited Grow Urban based on your recommendation while in Edinburgh, did not want to leave 🪴 Their rhubarb rooibos tea was soooo good!
I’ve always been interested in learning more about The Salem Witch Trials and similar instances throughout the world. I wish it was covered more when I was in school, not just glossed over. I also love fiction books based on those events. Very fascinating. Any fiction book that mentions Gallows Hills, becomes something I automatically want. 🌹🌸🎄💐🌺🌷🌻🍀🌲🥀🌴🌼☘️🌿🍃🌱🌵🌳🍂🍁🍄🎍🌾🪷🪴🎋
