Family Time: Early October Days

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!

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!

Little witches love to giggle over silly games.

This new spirit haunting our game closet, Stupid Deaths, is both interesting and hilarious!

Happy guessing…did that really happen?

Rainy September Days in our Rose Cottage Kitchen & Autumn Books

It’s raining… and so we bake up some Halloweeny birthday treats.  This week, I’m shipping out my seasonal books, wax seals, art prints, and stationery to lovely customers, hand-pressing a new autumn wax seal sticker collection, writing out fresh vegan organic recipes for my upcoming cookbook, and illustrating my latest novel pages.

The leaves have goldened. They fall lightly down our windows as we learn about cell walls and French verbs.  How do you classify living organisms these days?  Peaceful or non-peaceful?  The light jackets are out and waiting to go explore leaf-crunching gardens, library stacks, and haunted mansions.  We stroll graveyards, reading inscriptions of eternal love.

Evenings are full of new stories and paintings, soon to be shared with you, Dear Ones.

Love, ~Amor Milagre

When I designed these rooms, writing/reading nooks were at the top of the piority list.  When you work from home, it’s important to move about in the house.  Our Rose Cottage kitchen is our very own cafe where we watch rain drip down our pumpkins, write to the season, and enjoy every changing moment.

Last week, our foods were either made of pumpkin or shaped like pumpkins.

Hot, buttery biscuits are a fun way to greet loved ones at the end of a long day.  Just plate them, don’t throw them!

Mini pumpkin pies (just pumpkin and spices) are a baby favourite here.  We also made very trick-or-treat night rice krispy treats with PB and chocolate and then watched spooky movies.

Unfold mysteries of past, present, and future lives and loves through the empathic souls of Leona’s town of friends as they invent and enjoy simple pleasures and Nature’s joy during the first year of seasonal festivals.  The illustrations reflect the memory-based scrapbook evolution of the story.  This is an ongoing tale of real love, healing, connection, and the endless benefits of growing an ever-expanding web of kind hearts.  Adoration lives in each character of this Italian seaside town, guided in love by one lovely woman.  Her granddaughter, and her friends, continue sharing this positive energy together.

This ethically made book series allows the reader to explore the four seasons of Leona’s beautifully sensitive world.  The books are a delight and a chance for planting and growing seeds of positive change for all.  The festivals are full of delicious foods and exciting events where every person’s gifts are celebrated.  (Printed on cream FSC Certified Paper in the USA.)

I have written these books in love and gratitude in the hope that these pages will blend peacefully into my readers’ lives.  These loving novels are wonderful gifts for the Self and Dear Ones to explore your own passions, while appreciating each season of nature’s gifts.  Read these books in order for a sense of how simple pleasures and small acts of kindness can add up to connective positive changes that benefit all for ages.

Shop the Leona Collection: This pretty book is the updated illustrated paperback edition.  Neutral colours timelessly match your interiors, so pass this empowering heirloom down through the ages.  Hand-painted artwork is available to shop as fine art prints and stationery.  The Empathic Goddess  design (wax seals and cards) also symbolizes Leona.  The Leona Book Chapter Ink Illustrations are featured on a notecard set, as well as the four seasonal book L’s as a card set.
