I feel the same way about all these gorgeous illustrated botanical/ floral books! Thank you for sharing!!!

Wow amazing collection of books. Love it!

Thank you ....for sharing 🥰

Oh my goodness, I have a Marjorie Blamey book. Mine is Flowers of the Countryside. It is beautiful. I paused your video to check my book shelf. I have a few good flower books. I also have The Oxford Book of Garden Flowers. I have been collecting these books for decades. Ok, back to your video. I turned your video back on and you pulled out yet another book. England is a Garden. I think we have a lot in commen.

Gorgeous books!

🌺🥰😍🌹🌻muy bonitos los libros.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I hope you get your dream house with a library. I too have quit a collection of books for journaling. If I buy a book that I cannot bear to cut up, if it is affordable I buy one for cutting and one for keeping. For those who cannot bear to cut up a book just remember books eventually dry rot. So cutting it up for a journal gives it new life.

Very pretty!

If I could find that readers digest one for Britain I’d be VERY happy!!! And I’m on the hunt. lol I’m a sucker for these beautiful botanical books so we have the same taste there!! I have whole sets from readers digest on gardening and IMO it makes the best ephemera ever! Or adding as book pages in journals. Now. Edith Holden, I have had a hard time finding for under $40 USD

Thank you

Bellisimos libros, los conservaría todos, definitivamente no los destruiría para hacer diarios😢😢. Son libros bellisimos❤❤❤ ❤

thank you so much

We have so many of the same books!!! The one you showed about 20 minutes in- Deciduous Garden Trees and Shrubs, I had 2 copies of! And I used them. My sister grabbed me this book at a goodwill store and the images are larger, they are glossy I believe in this book. I have to go digging thru to find mine. But I’m pretty sure they are. However I have since been able to purchase this one on eBay, for $5 and free shipping in the US. So I’m not sure what it would cost to ship to you but the images are great and almost identical- just bigger pages. Here is the link for the one I’ve purchased. Just in case you ever want a second for back up. I’m always grabbing what I can if I find a good deal when it comes to certain types of books. Definitely floral books being in the top 3. So maybe this will help as a back up whenever u need it!!! Thank you for sharing. There was a couple I don’t have and I know I won’t find if so they won’t be cheap! And that was the first big one. But I have one similar to it. (I like yours better lol!) and the other one, was Garden Flowers, A Ladybird Book.... ive actually seen them. They are not cheap at all. Ive thought about getting one. But I wouldn’t use it for crafting. So I haven’t made the jump yet but here is the link for the trees and shrubs. And I’ve had the one you show and couldn’t find it again so like I said. My sister grabbed me this one. And I was happy with it! Extremely similar for imagery, and I’m going to look now, I do believe the pages are glossy. I have the readers digest gardening books. They are all large size books thin but on the large size, make great for pages with flips folds and pockets and all of them are glossy. I love it. I like to mix it up. Ive tried it using gel medium but it’s not necessary. It’s supposed to be junk journals! So combing glossy pages and matte! Do work! Quite lovely in my opinion! I even add some vellum in between pages and it breaks up the contrast! But here is the link. Maybe you’ll like it when you are done that book! www.ebay.com/itm/Successful-gardening-a-z-of-deciduous-trees-and-shrubs-Sucessful-Gardening-/143905069006?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

New subby here. No judging of you. I too have a lot of books and I'm always on the look out for more.

Love your collection of books. Cant wait to see the the other collection of books.

There's something about the vintage flower books 😍 I love the illustrations so much 💕

Lovely floral book collections, thank you for sharing💕

Such a gorgeous collection! Sometimes I find it hard to cut into them but they add so much beauty to journals! Thanks for sharing. 😊

I feel the same about my garden magazines. I used the whole pages for decoration in the middle of my signatures of my personal journal. 😁

I scan a lot. And hoard the books lol

I just looked up the Illustrated Book of Flora of Britain & Northern Europe. Hard cover starts at $49 and paperback $150! It seems as though our people have driven up the value. I get some books for a dollar or two at library sales but since the lockdowns they haven't had any. So, I conserve the books I have and sometimes will splurge to get the one I want. Thanks for this discussion its very useful. Edit...just because of you! I just ordered Frampton Flora and England is a Garden for...relatively cheap :)

Thank you for sharing your collection. Such great books.

Wow! They are gorgeous. You know, I've always collected garden magazines and my husband always took pictures of flowers for me. Flowers have always been my favorite. I also love fall colors especially when trees are changing. Those are my husband's and I special dates for the past 30 years of our marriage. I loved all your book collections. 🥰💯

Thank you for this new series. I love it!

You have a very nice collection. I am starting to try and collect more. TFS!

thank you for showing us your beautiful books! I usually get mine at thrift stores, but searching Amazon is a great idea!

Love your books and thank you for sharing them with us. Maybe make videos of you using some of them in journals. Beautiful.💜💜💜

I love this new series! So much inspiration ❤

TFS. I really love your collection of florals! I've never been on Amazon but I'm going to have to learn to shop there, I guess! 🤗

WOW, such gorgeous beautiful books. Very easy to hoard I imagine!! Thank you for sharing, Martyna. Hope you're having a nice weekend! /Ditte

I love your blouse, beautiful design!

What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your favorite (botanical) books. This series is a fabulous idea 😎👍💖 #BooksAreLife 📕📖📚 Especially, vintage ones!

I love this video! I have tried ordering some books online and not been happy with them. Seeing you flip through the books is so so helpful. I see some new book purchases in my future. Lol. Thank you so much. Hugs, treen 💜❤️💕💜❤️💜💕

Loved looking at your books...I was very inspired....to buy more books! 😂🤣

I have several of these books, i love looking at them as much as i love using them, hugs sara

I'll be looking for some of these, thanks!

I received my FLORA book today and I just wanted to say thankyou as I’ve really struggled finding these types of books. Thank you for doing this video. X

I love all your books. I started collecting them when i saw you england is a garden journal series. 🙂

Love, love all the beautiful books! Yummy! My craft room is now spilling over into garage shelving. In the States we have library sales where I have gotten lots of them ( you can fill a shopping bag for $5!) and a store called Half Price Books where they cost a little more. Happy crafting!

A very helpful video and such beautiful books. I went on Amazon and priced the Illustrated Book of Wild Flowers and jumped at the price. Hard bound: $447.00! I went to some other books and sites and found some for $20.00. Ahh...something reasonable for me. I, too, would love to see a video with how you've used these books. Thank you for sharing. It was fun and motivating to buy a book or two!

Beautiful collection! If you have a scanner you could scan them before cutting them up so that you could use them again. TFS

Thank you ! I love the first one the most! 🌺🌼🌷🌻. Love from RINI

Ih btw thank you so much for sharing this. So inspirational

I dug around and found one with a different cover, but it's hardback and shipping from Europe for a total of $25 -- yay !!!

Wow. I had a feeling your cut-outs were from this book. I studied Life Sciences at University and this was my favourite book on botany.

I looked on Amazon for the first book you showed and right now it is listed between $165- $254 + shipping. 😲

I'm having computer difficulties across the google platforms, so I'm commenting before I watch incase it won't load again -- No. 1, I love your accent which is a crummy thing to say when you're so talented and share with us -- but I love flipping through flower books, too -- I do not cut up my Edith Holden books because I live in the US and they're so expensive -- I also love the Beatrix Potter illustrations -- anyway, I wanted to say thanks so much for sharing your videos. I do one a year -- ha -- and it's so hard -- I can't get the camera angle right, and I use my phone but then it says the memory is full but I just installed a chip int the back -- ugh -- I appreciate it so very much -- be well, friend -- Patricia

Thank you for sharing your beautiful books. Have a great day and week, stay safe. 💖 Also are you adding the ephemera holder and journals on Etsy today? I googled the time difference and it should be 9am my time today (Saturday)Nov 7th. Or is it next Saturday?

Omg where did you get that book it is so beautiful

I looked up The Illustrated Flora of Britain on Amazon and the price is over $300 for new and $205 for used. Wow you have a fantastic, lovely book!!!

I can only see this book for $731 on Amazon. I’m in Australia 😔

Hello - I have just started watching your Channel. I have the Field Guide to Herbs in this series, and I have found a lot more titles too, and I can write them on here if you would like. I know they have been translated from German, so do you know what I would need to put in the search bar for the Field Guide in Colour to Wild Flowers/ Herbs/ Insescts/ Beetles.? I can use google translate, but I am not sure how accurate this would be. I didn't realise there were so many titles! I have 2 of the Herb Book and I ordered some more in the series, but some (in English) are very expensive so I thought like you buying the Diary of an Edwardian Lady in German, I would try and search Amazon. de for these titles in German. I live in France, so the postage is not too much. Thanks so much for sharing your skills with us all.

I started getting some of the same books or just illustrated botanical books, but when I get them I cant tear them! Hahaha I do get alot of them from Amazon and here in the states thriftbooks.com. I just love the illustrations.

Anthony Huxley is Julian Huxley’s son and Aldous Huxley’s nephew. Quite a high achieving family.

if you photocopied the page you want....you dont have to cut the pages...they can be used over and over...this is what i do as i hate destroying a book...🌹🌹🌹

Oh my gosh, the first book you showed, I don’t think the seller knew what they had...it must be a rare book, because even a used copy in the US costs from $60 to $700, depending on condition. Though, condition can make a huge difference. Most rare and collectible books are only wanted in very good condition or better.

That first book is $50-$500 in the US

OMG.. how can you cut up those books??!!!

I live in the US, and I just checked the first book -- guess the price: 1 new from $332.00
