Hello sweet friends! I hope you're ready with a pen and paper because we've got a lot to cover in this video! I share all the book that are on my fall reading list, the New England fall foliage trips that I am planning, items from small businesses that I want to purchase and my first trip to go Halloween hunting! We're halfway through August now, students here in the US are getting ready to go back to school so I thought now would be the perfect time to share this first fall video of 2023. Just a tip, if you are planning any trips to New England this upcoming fall season, try to book accommodation as far in advance as possible. Prices go way up and it can become difficult to find good places to stay.
Have you started your preparations for fall yet? Please do let me know if you have any recommendations! 🧡

I think we long for the enjoyment of the Summer when we were kids and there was no school. Long days with friends in the sprinklers or at the park or riding bikes with no cares. As adults, we just get sweaty, hot, bug-bitten and sun-burned 😐 but I am trying to fall in love with summer again through my garden and its wildness. And, of course, Desi's videos ❤

as a Vermonter who lives 20 mins away from Woodstock, I am definitely ready for fall already. The cozy feeling of being at home, wearing fun fluffy sweaters, walking downtown to go to the bookstore in a cozy sweater.
I'm SO EXCITED to see this video. People don't understand that if you *really* want to do cool fall activities you need to plan in advance! Need to pick the perfect spots, schedule it in, and figure out how to avoid the crowds. 100% pro early autumn squad!

For the longest time I’ve been searching for a chill, authentic and aesthetic KZreadr who shares my love for the fall season..and here you are!
Fall truly is the best season and Desi's presence makes one even more excited for Autumn! If you're still looking for a spooky, magical story to read in October, set at a mansion by a cursed lake, you should definitely try the Gothic fantasy Lakesedge by Lyndall Clipstone! Thank you for your amazing fall content so far :)
I’ve been waiting for this 🍂AUTUMNAL 🍂content all year!
I am so, soooo excited for this years fall video and content. I know it's only July, but I am ready for the pumpkinspice!
Fall is all day, every day, for me. I don’t even care. It’s my favorite. It’s when I feel my best and I’m happiest.
Yay yay yay…. Her videos make me so happy!!! ❤️💕😍
If you ONLY made fall videos 24/7 I would watch them all! 🍂🍁🥮
I love Spring and Autumn! In fact, yesterday, for the first time in August, I bought a cute Fall door hanger and a cute Fall mat for my door. August has always been such a blah month for me as the late summer month when there is little to do and you want the heat to go away. Now I'm seeing it like you do: early Autumn! What I love about your videos is your sincerity. You are just yourself and it's so bubbly and fun and makes me want to bring out that hidden side of myself more and more. I'm looking forward to reading and writing more. You have inspired me. Thank you.
As someone who really loves summer too, I've held off watching this until now. It's still summer here, but there's a subtle change now, and technical fall is almost here! I'm excited! I hope you lean into more summer content next year, though (if you want). It's such a gorgeous season and it deserves appreciation too.
Your fall videos are what I look forward to each year. I’m such a fall girl and I’m happiest right now. Your videos are part of my tradition each year 🧡🎃

I hope you read this comment because i want you to know your videos have been such a comfort to me during one of the hardest times of my life 🧡 you helped me see how beautiful life is through the smallest things. Like the change of seasons, the rain, reading by myself has turned from something I used to secretly be ashamed of for being "antisocial nerd activity" to an act of self care because it's what I love and doing what I love is what makes life beautiful. You got me excited about autumn coming soon! I wish you the same happiness your videos brought to me :) 🧡🍂
August for me is literally just sitting around sweating my butt off waiting for September 🤣 love this!
It’s officially ‘back to school’ season all around the world, even in UAE which is a first sign that fall is almost here cos these times are also called fall semester in academic places. Cannot wait for it to be actually fall.❤

Definitely a place to be on your radar is Corning, NY. Especially in fall!! You can blow your own glass pumpkin (and make other glass crafts) and it’s beautifully decorated. Western and Upstate NY may be a bit far for you but there’s beautiful fall activities over there.
im done of swearing "this autumn is going to be the best autumn" and then not appreciating it enough. This IS going to be my autumn. I WILL make pumpkin pie with real pumpkin, I'll fill myself with apple and cinnamon tea, I'll have autumn walks with my friends and I will wear autumnal clothes. I will read books til midnight on fridays and saturdays and I'll keep writing songs on my guitar and mandolin. I will light up candles when I have to study, I'll binge watch over the garden wall the day before halloween and I'll look for mushrooms in the deepest parts of the forest. This WILL be my autumn

It still gets into the 90's where I live but I'm begging for fall! Your video soothed my aching autumnal heart! 🎃 🍁
I travelled abroad and studied political science at a university in South Korea nearly 6 years ago now. I’m about to graduate now, but though I love politics and international relations, the study of war and conflict and other disasters often make me feel really small and things feel hopeless. That’s when I turn to your videos, and I can retreat to these small joys in life, such as baking or some cozy books. It has really helped me from developing anxiety over this, and I’m forever grateful
I live in South Wales, UK and July was dreadful for a summer month! Constant rain, gloominess and low temperatures... It put me in an autumn mood and although August is a bit warmer, I am here for the fall content! Autumn is my favourite season and November is my birthday month 😊 every year autumn feels quite short, after Halloween people are getting to winter/Christmas mood so I am definitely commited to start enjoying it earlier this year, I hated summer and let's forget about it 😂
I refuse to think about autumn in the summer except when I watch one of your videos :) Love them forever.
desi's videos helped me with my healing journey so much. i truly appreciate everything that you do..♡
I can't afford to buy a lot of new Halloween/fall decorations every year so I always watch Desi's fall videos and use her book/movie recommendations to get me into the mood instead, as well as her videos in general. I'm trying to pretend it isn't summer anymore as wildfires continue to rage around me in the interior of British Columbia, Canada and dreaming about when fall will come. I'm getting into all things Scooby-Doo, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls, and all the soft cozy music, staying up late at night so I can wear sweaters and pretend like it's cold outside... Thank you so much Desi for always providing the perfect cozy content to suit every season, this is exactly what I have been needing
So excited, you are literally the queen of autumn and a pumpkin princess
No complaints here! Bring on the pumpkin spice, autumn vibes & Halloween decor!🍁
I don't know what it is or how to explain it, but this channel makes me feel so warm and safe. it is raining were I live and a few leaves fell today in the wind. I know it's quite early to decorate for fall, but the feeling of having those leaves and pumpkins around the house just really puts your mind at ease. Fall really is Magical🍁🎃📕
Seeing how happy you are about fall, I'm so glad you didn't move to Europe! The love of fall and all things pumpkin spice is truly a North American thing. There's no shops selling Halloween goodies over here, no themed foods or decor being put up. It's mostly a thing that children do, having a small fall market at their school, and it's mostly seen as juvenile or excessive. I miss the coziness and autumn/halloween vibe living over here so much and I'm grateful that your videos are here to create that fall magic 🤩
Yay! My favourite season ☺️🍂🎃🧡
I’m all for the early fall content. Loving it! 🧡🎃🍂
I was born in the autumn - love all things fall. Mid-August is when it kicks in and the move toward all the wonderful things the season has to offer.
I think you'll really enjoy a bookbinding workshop! It's one of those things that looks really complicated until someone shows you how to do it. And if you want to pursue it further after the workshop, you really only need paper, stiff thread, scissors, glue, and a needle to keep making more books. It's a lovely and meditative hobby to have.
So ready for all of your Autumn content! You are my Autumn soul sister and your videos feel like a warm hug 🍂
I’m so excited for this video. I’ve been waiting all August for it - let the fall vibes begin 🍁🍂☕️
Autumn brings pure happiness to my heart 🧡 the weather here in England has been so stormy and cloudy recently, it’s made me long for autumn nights even more 😭 your content is such a reflection of myself, it’s so nice to see somebody who gets as excited about autumn as I do 😂 love this video, as always 🧡xxx

I am so excited for Fall and can't wait to see all your videos in this magical, cozy season! 🍁🕯️🍄🦊🎃
Girl, my spooky candles arrived today and I had my first pumpkin spice coffee of the season-your timing is PERFECT!
I was born October 10th, 1989, so as you can imagine I am both very excited for fall and for 1989 TV! Also, if you don't start preparing for fall now, it'll fly by so fast when it actually is here. So really, getting ready now is the best choice!

A great autumnal/wintery book that I adore with my whole heart is Little Thieves by Margaret Owen. The writing is absolutely incredible, the characters feel so alive and the mythology woven in is very atmospheric. It's my favourite book of all time and the sequel to it just came out this year!! 💛
