Pumpkin Carving Day! 🎃

So, dearest Folk of the Hollow, we had a bit of a . . . well . . . a set back with our plans a couple weekends back.

We were supposed to go to a pumpkin patch and an apple orchard—we had everything planned out. I spray-painted my wicker basket so it was nice and cute for the apple pickin’, I spent all morning trying to pick out an outfit (and, by the way, the whole morning was bright and sunny) and do my make-up, only to realize that as the time drew closer to the time for the farm to open the skies had grown darker and it began to rain.

Meaning, there would be no apple picking or pumpkin patch for us.

📚🕷 Decorating The Cottage Library for Halloween! 📚🕷

Hello Folk of the Hollow!

Today I wanted to share with you guys how I decorated my cottage library! Now, we decided to be a little frugal this year when it comes to buying Halloween decorations—we’re saving up for a big home renovation project that, frankly, absolutely takes priority—so this is probably the most we will decorate this year. But that’s okay! You don’t need to buy a ton of decorations and be the biggest house on the block to still have a fun Halloween!

🎃 Cozy Summerween Reading Day 👻

Hello there, Folk of the Hollow!

It’s been a minute since my last post, hasn’t it? I’m sorry to say that as the summer heat has rolled in over the cottage, my energy levels have dropped significantly. I always forget in the springtime, when we are fresh out of winter and all the possibilities of the outdoors is once again open to us and the weather is a cool and inviting 70 degrees, but I am simply not built for warm climates. Most people feel the seasons negatively affect their moods in the winter—but I, dear Hollowfolk, feel those pains in the summer.
