october, thus far

...honoring Autumn...taking good care of ourselves...creating more fresh and lovely concoctions to tend our homes....and books, always books...

Please join in, whenever you like. Warmth and beauty and calm await.

early autumn at Wisteria & Sunshine

I didn't intend to be away for so long...but we have been peacefully busy at Wisteria & Sunshine...reading The Way of the Happy Woman, creating our Daybooks to support us as we are weaving the Fabric of our Days...celebrating Banner Days like Edith Holden's birthday and the first day of Autumn...

As October flows on, we will be filling our Daybooks with pages to help us pare down our homes and hours before the fullness of the late Autumn/early Winter holidays...and continue learning ways to care for ourselves more deeply...and find happiness in the serene Autumn world...

We would love to have you join us, if the robin hasn't already shown you the key to the ivy-covered door of what one of my members calls "a secret garden".  It is a sheltered place of encouragement and beauty and there will always room for more kindred spirits...

july and august at wisteria & sunshine...

..will look something like this...

We are focusing on Ease and Refreshment, with some Delight woven in.

Won't you join us?

Looking back on May and forward to June...

The last few weeks were steeped in pantry thoughts and freshening...rummaging in kitchen drawers and bringing clarity there, as well. We continue to find our love of certain books and authors coming up in our quiet conversations...more Elizabeth Goudge appreciation and also the Brambly Hedge books and Tasha Tudor. 

With our Spring Cleaning put away for now, we will be spending some of June exploring Simplicity...both to help us in the tending of our homes and to prepare for a restful and delightful Summer with lots of good reading and refreshment.

We would love for you join us...
