Coming Soon: Yuletide Gifts — A Hearthblossom Tale

-


As the first cool winds settle over the valley and I swap my iced drinks for warm mugs, something cozy has been taking shape behind the scenes… and today I finally get to share a little peek with you.

I’ve been working on a brand-new Hearthblossom picture book, and she’s almost ready to step out into the snowy world.
Introducing…

Yuletide Gifts — A Hearthblossom Tale 

This gentle winter story follows Hearthblossom as she prepares for her favorite time of year. With Duchess trotting beside her, she sets out to create handmade gifts for her friends, neighbors, and the little woodland creatures who share her world.

Mittens crocheted loop by loop.
Golden Yule bread braided with care.
A beeswax candle scented with rosemary.
Star-shaped seed ornaments for the birds.
Fresh hay to keep the barnyard warm.

It’s a story filled with small kindnesses and cozy magic — the kind of winter warmth that glows from the inside out.

❄️ A Tale of Handmade Magic

More than anything, Yuletide Gifts celebrates slowing down, making things with our hands, and sharing with the ones we love.
It’s soft, snowy, and full of that old-world winter feeling I adore — the kind that settles gently over your shoulders like a shawl.

I think little hands will love the illustrations, and families will enjoy cuddling up together for this sweet seasonal read.

7 Hearth Foods to Honor the Ancestors: A Witch’s Feast for Samhain Across generations and continents, witches and homemakers alike have honored the harvest and the ancestors through food. These seven dishes — rooted in tradition and brimming with intention — carry the warmth of the hearth and the whisper of old magic. Each one holds meaning beyond flavor. They’re blessings you can bake, boil, or simmer — a feast of remembrance for the turning of the year. When the wheel of the year turns to Samhain, the veil between worlds grows thin. It’s a time to honor our ancestors, to share food at the hearth, and to prepare ourselves for the dark half of the year. For many of us, the heart of that magic lives in the kitchen.
