A Handcrafted Life Book

This is the essential guide to living a more beautiful, purposeful, and fulfilling life inspired by the whimsical world of cottage-core, complete with flower pressing, foraging, needlework, spinning, crafting, and other fun and charming yet practical activities. From savouring the aroma of freshly baked bread and tending a beloved herb patch to enjoying sunlight filtering through hand-sewn curtains, cottage-core is a philosophy as well as an aesthetic that brings together many strands of a sustainable lifestyle: unplugging, slow living, embracing nature, learning new skills, growing food, and much more.

Each chapter explores different ways of embracing the cottage-core lifestyle, such as interacting with nature, eating seasonally, and getting creative. Inherently low-impact and green, cottage-core embraces reuse and recycling and celebrates an old-fashioned no-waste ethic. Other cottage-core books focus on the Instagrammable, but this book emphasizes the appeal of this lifestyle and a realistic approach to embracing it wholeheartedly.
