Congrats on the anthology inclusion! And kudos to your daughter; I used to do a bang-on impression of the witch and never got to take it to the stage, so I’m thrilled for her performance. Sorry for your losses, especially such a young kid, and sympathy for the moth infestation! Your little lit-up town looks quaint. I’ve always thought the same about a candle and twinkly lights against the dark of winter. A mental warmth, right when we need it.
We constructed a windbreak with tarps last night on the back porch. I know it won't do much for the dropping night temps, but it may save my vegetables from the destructive wind. Fingers crossed.
And powdered bronzer swiped along the jawline does wonders!
Oh Erin, your writing is always so beautiful and tender and relatable. Also, in that bright blue November photo, I spy a Victory garden sign - which just tickles me!
I'm so sorry for your community's devastating loss; you've so wisely encompassed the challenges of these seasons. Have you seen the movie "Inside Out"? I thought it did such a good job of showing how multi-faceted our experiences & memories are as we grow older!
I LOVE Secrets of the Castle, and haha yes, the Eleanor style is so fantastic!!
Thanks so much for sharing about the new guild endeavor...and I'm glad the word "guild" got you too, especially because that's a word that gets me immediately on board for anything, too!
Another wonderful post! Your warmth and humor always puts a smile on my face—and the garden pics are icing on the cake.
Just think, if the barbette caught on, plastic surgeons could go out of business! But yeah—I don’t think there’s any getting past the Jacob Marley look.
What fun to see you featured in “Signs + Seasons”! The pic of all the family shoes lined up for St. Nicholas was a treat! 😊
I, too, requested the return of the barbette or wimple as a fashion statement for those of us of a certain age--on Instagram a few months ago. There are two of us...do you think we could get something started?
Barbette may be a hard sell but wide leg jeans are back so in my opinion anything is possible! 🤣

Also, THE NECK THING. I’m 52 this year and would like whoever stole mine to please return it.
