Hello dearies! I hope you are enjoying fall just as much as I am. We are living off of chocolate chip pumpkin bread and apple cider, working hard on our Halloween costumes, and just generally staying very happy (and busy!).
I thught that Nadia’s autumn swap was so completely perfect that I had to join in and I am very proud of myself for two reasons. One is that I actually got it into the mail before the deadline and the other is just that I would be beyond ecstatic if this package landed on my doorstep – so I’m hoping that means it’s a good one.
The rules were to send a book that I love, a photo or postcard with a quote, something from nature, and one other little treat. So, I found this beautiful old copy of Ivanhoe, which I waded through years upon years ago and completely adored, some cute fall stickers, a favorite photograph of mine, and a sachet filled with lavender and cedar from my backyard then nestled into a little bed of moss. My swapee is still a secret, but I do hope she likes it once it arrives!
How are you celebrating this season?

It’s basically our summer out here so we’re enjoying the lack of tourists, eating at taquerias, and soaking in the sun. I really do miss fall though! It always smells like apple cider and a Penn State game :-)

I just got it, and I am SO in love! I smelled the lavender & cedar right away when I opened the box, it was perfect! The little sachet is so pretty too. The stickers are adorable, and the photo is gorgeous…and I can’t wait to read the book! I was nervous I’d end up with a book I’d already read (I read a lot!) but I haven’t read this one. And I love old books.
So basically you were right, and I am ecstatic :) The package is amazing, thank you so much!
