Table of ContentsReviewsMerrill, who has one million subscribers, believes that a cozy cottagecore vibe can be had anywhere, not just in the country. As she writes in her debut, The Cottage Fairy Companion, ... a beautiful life 'isn't dependent on where you live, but how.' She organizes the projects and reflections in the book by season, under chapter headings including A Gentle Start, Cultivating a Loving Space, and Quiet Living in Winter. Her crafts-orange slice garlands, a terrarium, and more-are 'very easy,' [senior editor Natasha] Vera says, but 'they're no less enjoyable, even if you're an expert. The purpose isn't to keep busy or master it. It's to slow down and have a moment to connect to nature and yourself and be in the present moment.' -Publishers Weekly This book presents an easy entry point for readers interested in exploring mindfulness and the cottagecore lifestyle. -Carrie Byrd, Library Journal Merrill, who has one million subscribers, believes that a cozy cottagecore vibe can be had anywhere, not just in the country.

She discusses her transition from city to country living, and while the book focuses on country life, solutions for connecting to the seasons and nature are offered for city dwellers as well.
