Hello, Reader, Winter Solstice officially occurs tomorrow morning (7:03 am my time), and I think that's close enough to start feeling excited about it! I have a few posts about this that you may enjoy, like this guide to slow living in winter and these winter solstice reflection prompts. Or, take a peek at the Winter Issue of The Handmade Year!

Maple Candied Pecans
Chocolate Ganache Truffles
Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm out there! |

I'm not all about the cheapest of everything ever (for better or worse), and I still layer in and practice many, many old-fashioned skills....
Hi, Reader, How's your week been? It's been WILD over here. I just sent out the Spring issue of The Handmade Year a few days ago, and then setup my new booth at a local antique mall! Want to see some pics? For The Handmade Year, I wanted it to be a pure celebration of Spring with lots of strawberries, rhubarb, and herbs. I'm so happy with how this issue turned out, and absolutely loved making these recipes. I'll be bringing some with me to Easter celebrations this weekend, too! For the booth,...
