with the beginning of 2012, i have thought a lot about what i want to offer in this new year & what will keep me going through this hard season of life. we are almost approaching eight months of living in arkansas & with each day, i still feel the sting of living apart from our community & those i love the most. with that difficulty though, has come enlightenment in both who i am & who i would like to be. in this new year, i have chosen to take responsibility for my happiness. it seems so simple, but it has been a hard lesson to learn. rather than blaming this town or my home or our lack of land, i am choosing to embrace this place, find purpose in the work of our home & till up what we have & plant what i can.
i want to share this process with you through print:: a year in film. as i knead bread, trellis our peas, find warmth by the evening fire, take a walk through the woods & live within the seasons, i will capture these moments in both word & film.
each month, if you choose to participate {& oh, i really hope you do!}, you will receive one 5 x 7 matte film photograph along with a few words from me, inspired by the season. those few words might be a recipe, a list of favorite books, a project for the home, or a tip on gardening. these two pieces will then be carefully mailed from my home to yours.
you can choose to subscribe for six months or one year. {one year subscriptions will only be offered in february & six months subscriptions will be offered in february & july}
six months: $60 {includes shipping}
one year: $100 {includes shipping}
i will reveal february’s issue on thursday, february 2nd in my {etsy shop} for purchase.
my photographs & words from print:: a year in film will not be shared online. this gives the excitement of receiving a package each month just for you with a surprise inside!
i really hope you will join in on this adventure as i capture the little moments that bring the most joy in my life through word & print.

we’re packing our bags full of mittens, warm knit scarves, flannel & boots for our trip up north to madison for the week. i cannot wait to experience real winter… a season i’ve missed so much lately.
i have a basket of knitting… basic cotton wash cloths for a friend & a simple scarf for me in a blueish green that reminds me of the ocean.
we’re packing a day bag with snacks, too. turkey & pepper jack sandwiches on sprouted bread, yogurt & frozen blueberries, licorice & our favorite kombucha.
we hope to finish reading in the garden of beasts, part of our book club. we like to read aloud to one another. do you do this, too?
well, i painted my nails gold so i guess it is time for a vacation! see you in a week, friends. xo!
