Long days. Inside your ribcage the last minutes of daylight still linger, breath and silver through the darkening blue. (…)

I Offer Love
I come to you not as a King, But a man of no renown. I am not Fionn of the Fianna, But Deimne the son of Muirne, Who was raised inside a dell
I have not much to offer, Yet my hand I still must bare. Your wit and tongue astound me, And your beauty I shan’t compare
If my heart be an open diary, Then I see your hand’s writing there
The love I offer is simple, Nothing more than a house on the hills; But I would buy you the finest thimble, If you would bless me with your skills.
The old grieving autumn goes on calling to its summer the valley is calling to other valleys beyond the ridge each star is roaring alone into darkness there is not a sound in the whole night

🧵🌷 cottagecore style tips!🌷🧵
part 1, finding clothes:
🕊 everything i buy is from a charity shop or depop. some key search terms i've found useful are "prairie", "mori kei/girl", "blouse", "broderie anglaise", and "crochet". now "cottagecore" is a bit more popular that works too but sometimes people hike up the prices!
🕊 texture is your best friend, and is usually my starting place for finding cute statement pieces! go for anything crochet, cord, chiffon, knitted, linen, or lace.
🕊 stock up on cardigans!!!!!! from oversized to bolero, there's a cardigan for every season + outfit. they're cheap as chips too, almost all of my cardis are from £1 sale rails in charity shops:)
🕊 white cotton blouses, particularly broderie anglaise, look so cute tucked into a skirt or trousers. pair with a cardi or let the collar peek through a woolly jumper when its chillier.
🕊 corduroy trousers are abundant in secondhand stores, but ones that that FIT are hard to come by. don't be scared of bigger sizes - that's what belts are for:) i wear cords 6 sizes too big for me with a belt and they look lovely, especially with a tighter fitting top or blouse!
🕊 the same goes for skirts. granny skirts are so sweet and literally everywhere in charity shops but if you're worried about the waist just add belt loops and ur ready to go:)
🕊 invest in frilly white socks. seriously, you won't regret it>:))
🕊 petticoats make great cottagecore skirts or you can wear them under a dress that's a bit too short!
🕊 anything printed with flowers. ANYTHING.
🕊 shoes are a bit trickier, so i tend to find those on ebay or depop. im a big fan of chunky shoes, docs, mary janes and high-top converse! i've been pretty lucky with docs as they can be priceyy online and mine were between £10-30, i've found they tend to be a bit cheaper on ebay than depop but take longer to find. you don't need loads of shoes, just a couple neutral ones. great colours to go with pretty much any cottagecore outfit are brown, black, and green.
🕊 think about colour schemes if u feel overwhelmed in a secondhand/thrift store! i usually head straight to anything green, light blue, pink, or cream/off-white, so think about what cottage-y colours suit your complexion and focus on those.
🌷🧵 hope this helps! the post after this is part 2 on upcycling and styling<33 🧵🌷

how to live like a fairy:
- grow flowers, walk and dig in the soil
- eat wild strawberries and blueberries, have fruit picnics
- dance your heart away while the moon is shining upon you
- drink water infused with lavender and honey
- collect things that call to you, let them whisper their secrets and long history to you
Ooooo I found these photos online with no source, does anyone have the recipe??
