…with all that is new in my world. Well, in my shop to be exact. Tho’ I’ve also just published another film at youtube, with all the beauty that was late October here. It is my favorite film yet, with a bit more of me, slow-falling leaves and all the gorgeous color of October. I hope you will go and see it and enjoy ten minutes or so of peace…

After months of designing, my shop is now filled with all of the Daybook ingredients for 2022 (with the Winter booklets beginning on Dec. 1st.) There is also the Jan-Dec 2022 calendar, and a new undated booklet. I am calling this the “wild” undated weeks because it has more variety with the weekly layouts and is decorated with wildflowers. A design like this was calling to me because variety truly is the spice of life, my quiet life anyway. And there are blank pages between each weekly spread to keep everything for the week together and tidy. I am loving using it.

All of the other Diaries and Days and sets of each are there now, as well. All ready to companion you peacefully through your days. There will be some printable calendars coming soon, and I hope, a digital version of the Daybook (sort of!) …

I am thinking about creating a December email offering with simple loveliness…a quotation…a passage…a pretty picture or photo. Do let me know if you would be interested. Otherwise, I am trying to keep work and life as pared down…yet rich…as possible. All the better to keep watching and cherishing the turning of the year, tending home and hearth, reading and sipping cups of tea, watching the Great British Baking Show and loving our dear ones.

Much love,

Lesley

Hello again! I am writing this on Sunday afternoon, just after finishing the November-welcoming post for Wisteria & Sunshine. This is my weekly rhythm, to put together Monday’s post on Sunday afternoon. But today, as I was readying the monthly calendars to share, I had the impulse to share a few with you. Usually, the month’s calendars and planning pages are waiting in the first-day-of-the-month post, but at this season, I leave both November and December. Most of us have much to contain and plan for in these months, as you likely know very well. : )

If you click the image above, it will open up the one-page calendars I began making a few years ago. And below is a glimpse of the other pages I offer each month, with membership. Refining the organization of the hundreds of printables I’ve created for Wisteria & Sunshine over the years is one of the projects I look forward to accomplishing early in the new year…when I’ll be raising the membership price a bit. It’s been at the current price for more than five years, and a tiny increase will help me so much. But I wanted to let you know since the price you join with is the price you keep, no matter how long you are a member…

And tomorrow we will begin our Advent for Advent journey through November. It’s a slow and gentle opportunity to clear and prepare for the winter holidays, and a more peaceful December. This first week we will be getting inspired to seek simplicity and sufficiency in our paring down and tidying. As well, we will begin the Clean Along with Me email series to give our homes some loving attention. And as always, the daily posts will be filled with beauty and light and gleanings of poetry and wisdom. No doubt, a few little films will become a regular feature as I continue to delight in making them, since starting my youtube channel.

I would love to welcome you within our rooms and gardens at Wisteria & Sunshine, and will be waiting just inside the door, anytime you wish to cross the threshold. Before I go, I want to wish you a happy All Hallow’s Eve and a meaningful October-into-November time. A few more clicks here, and then Doug and I will carve our two small pumpkins, put together the Samhain altar with our dear ones, light candles and say hello to the crescent moon, before settling in with a cosy supper and something autumnal to watch.
