this christmas, luke & i have decided to only purchase from small artists & makers for holiday gifts & decorations. what is not purchased from others is either handmade or found in nature.
we purchased the wool felt pinecone from ella & gathered branches, pinecones & berries from the land behind our little neighborhood. the rest was either thrifted from years past or made by hand. our home feels so warm & cozy with simple decor to remind us of this blessed advent season.

the little craft show was a huge success! the tunes were rockin’ & the room was packed. it was the perfect day for purchasing handmade & unique gifts for loved ones. i am so incredibly thankful for all who supported us in this little adventure. it was amazing.

yesterday also marked six months of living in arkansas. six really, really hard months of growth, change, renewal, sadness & joy. this place still doesn’t feel like home, but it is so very necessary for life. for growing & for learning about self. everyday i miss my comfortable life in columbia, but the quietness & stillness of moving to a new community has allowed for some big growth in who i am & intimate connection with my husband. i feel a mix of loneliness & strength when i think about the last six months. & peace. peace is good.
