After we tidy our Rose Cottage gardens, we like to snuggle up with tea and bakes with spooky shows and funny games. October is play time!

In our Atelier
Homeschool art class this week hints at an upcoming collection for my shop: Hand-painted clay ornaments for each season. These ones are just for our own seasonal tree, but the next batch I make will form a limited series of unique holiday decor gifts. Bats, pumpkins, witch’s hats, and ghosts are at play here. Coming soon!
Early October Days, Amor Milagre
Little witches love to giggle over silly games.
This new spirit haunting our game closet, Stupid Deaths, is both interesting and hilarious!

Amor Milagre Leona’s Homecoming #1-4 Vol. I The Love Letter Diaries Novel Series
A cosy autumnal pumpkin grows an enchantment of love and magic just as it does in my Leona’s Homecoming book. Read to find out whose nickname this design is inspired by! This ink drawing dwells on every spine of this novel and it’s featured as a chapter icon in the book and on this Leona stationery set.

September Days, Amor Milagre, NH white mountain adventures
We are savouring this early autumnal weather by exploring new towns, collecting pumpkins, lifting a chin up to the leafy breeze, admiring mountain & lake views whilst sharing a picnic, airing out the house, listening to vintage Halloween songs, writing serene novels, reading nature-loving quest-style books aloud as a family, baking cosy treats for spooky movie nights, and wrapping winter holiday gifts. Fall is such a magical, comfortable, and comforting time for us. Ready to snuggle up, venture out, and return home again with pockets full of smiles.
September Days, Amor Milagre, pumpkin time- meet our first Henry of the season!Amor Milagre Winter Holiday Gift Wrapping Days
I find it relaxing to gather, and wrap, our gifts for the winter holiday season over the summer and fall. Then, we can focus on the festive activities like playing games. We reuse red shiny bags for bigger gifts each year, but this season we added in some silvery sparkle, too. We save the paper, tissue, ribbons, and bags. All new cards are added to a memory box so that we may look back on messages and artwork as more birthdays happily come to us!
Other gifts that are too big to wrap, such as snowy walks and tickets to sense a holiday show, are captured in photo albums and in our special holiday record book. I am precious about our memories. Every day is a time to celebrate and treasure our miracles.
Please let me know of any personal book inscriptions for your holiday gift orders using my Contact Page.
The toys in our Rose Cottage are sewing up gifts and wrapping them with bows in preparation for the holiday season. We are, too! It’s time for puzzles, games, wellie woodsy walks, writing leafy novels, pumpkin patches, spices, and auburn lake en plein air paintings. New fall wax seal stamp stickers are coming up, along with oil paint waterscapes and some adorable trick-or-treat stationery.
Amor Milagre Balloon Pumpkin Patch, Early Autumn & End of Summer Days & Decor
Early crisp breezes, and that certain quieting in the leaves outside my morning window, tell me Autumn is joining us for tea. Out come the cosy blankets and sweaters. I paint up some new notecard designs. We reread old favourites and open the game cupboard. I wrap up Summer in family albums. Lessons tuck into homeschool portfolio pages. The necessary slowing of souls is stirring up comfort as the new daily rain trickles away the whirling of summer. Hang scarves and knit berets on the hook, for we await thy sweet calm. Love, ~ Amor Milagre
Amor Milagre Photo Album Catch Up, Early Autumn & End of Summer Days & Decor
We refresh our year-round homeschool supplies with pretty rainbow pencils, earthy clays and paints, sweet folders, encouraging stickers, and lovely blank notebooks. A few vintage textbooks make their way to our shelves, in French and Swedish. We sell clothes that have grown too adorably tiny, keeping some favourites, and wash new gangly organic pajamas full of ghosts and pumpkins.

*I missed some decorating, and huge parts of our life, due to being stuck in bed for two weeks + a lifetime. Note to smokers: If you must pollute yourselves, do it alone in your home (and don’t move), not in public, and certainly not at non-smoking public beaches where families think they finally have a refuge. Not in doorways, outside doctor’s offices and hospitals, schools…no smoking anywhere. We shouldn’t have to survive you, if we even can. Smoking is highly dangerous to everyone. Think about it. What is in the air moves with the wind. It doesn’t disappear, but it goes directly into our lungs. We have no control over this, but you do, so stop it. Ban smoking forever. It is a crime to harm people and the environment. The ducks and fish eat your pollution left behind. It is in the water and soil, too. Homes, vehicles, gardens, etc are ruined. Childhoods and days of our life are tragically altered, and in place of joy all is left is fear and illness that never fades but spreads and limits. It’s not unserious or fleeting. It is permanently destructive to the lining of our world. I live in infinite coughs and struggles to breathe. My family becomes so as well, as they make tea. Tea? Tea cannot battle you. We shouldn’t have to survive you…or not survive you. Be aware that respiratory issues are, and always have been, a main concern. End pollution now. We deserve life.
