Book Overview

The Country Commonplace Book is a seasonal touchstone packed full of quotes, book lists, artwork, recipes, and observations on the natural world to keep close at hand and to accompany you throughout the year.

Historically, commonplace books have been types of journals used to record favorite passages from books or poetry, anecdotes, extracts from letters, proverbs, lists, shared recipes, quotes, prayers, and lyrics, and they have been kept for centuries. "Commonplacing" has seen a recent revival and can now be seen more as a highly personal anthology--a joyful place where the keeper can develop a deeper sense of self by selecting fragments of language that feel meaningful and reflect their tastes, beliefs, and values.

In this book, delve into blogger, Instagrammer, and YouTuber Miranda Mills' ultimate commonplace book, a carefully curated guide to the seasons with the very best selection of quotations, reading lists, recipes, reflections, and much, much more. Connect deeper with yourself and your creative impulses as you explore everything each season has to offer--and even be inspired to create your own personalized commonplace book.
