~Brown Paper Packages Holiday Booklet & A Yuletide Merriment~

Good day to you. Tis a cold December Monday here in Vermont as I sip my coffee, enjoy a cozy fire and a bit of blog writing..which I am so very far behind with.... I would report what is happening outside my window however, it is still dark, so I've no idea what might be taking place out there in the chilly darkness of the morning. I am hoping the birds are waking and preparing to visit the feeders and the deer are on their way to the apple tree which they have been visiting daily as of late.

I wanted to share a few things with all of you......

Brown Paper Packages

~A Collection Of Original Short Stories, Patterns, Recipes, Traditions & Thoughts For An Olde Fashioned Holiday~

I am so excited about this booklet.

Inside you will find three original short stories written expressly for the book, two new patterns, three of my favorite holiday recipes and two tutorials. You will also find quotes, musings & traditions as well as simple, heartfelt, homemade gift giving and decorating ideas.

(I was VERY excited about including Miss Winter in the booklet..I have received so MANY request for her pattern and for the finished doll and decided it was time to share her with all of you)

I had SO much fun creating this ..deciding what recipes to share, incorporating the stories with the recipes and patterns so everything blended and it had an overall theme to it. The response to this booklet has been amazing. I am so very grateful to all of you for being interested in my writing and work and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it for all of you.

I had originally set out to make more traditionally colored creations for this show (red, brown & deep green) the moppets however had other plans..It's my own fault...I should have never shown them the box of vintage mercury glass ornaments!!!Well, I've chatted so long that dawn has now arrived..pink skied and cold...oh I do so hope those pink skies mean snow is on the way..I'm growing impatient for it.

I'm off now to try out a new cinnamon bread recipe and then I've booklets and moppets to pack and ship. Wishing you a very lovely and cozy December day.
