Solstice

Last night Thommy and I met up with Aurora and her mom, Deb, at a Solstice celebration at Arcadia, a wildlife sanctuary in our town. We were greet by a path lit with hundreds of clever paper bag lanterns, a cup of hot mulled cider, and a giant bonfire. And music.

It was amazing. And the perfect note to start to my winter vacation. I'm taking a little break, dear readers, until the New Year to rest and regroup, write and dream, and make some fresh new year rituals. I'll be leaving you with some guest posts to tide you over, of course.

I wrote a little bit about wanting this break in last week's post, and a little more about it in terms of choice, resentment, and internal scuba diving in new Creative Call post on Scoutie Girl yesterday.

I'll leave you with a couple tidbits:

Congrats to Kaden, the winner of this month's giveaway for newsletter subscribers. Kaden, you get to do a little shopping in the Rex shop, on me--details are in your inbox. 

Also, I made these printable gift tags last year and I think they are still goodies. I mean, kittens floating on marshmallows? 

Take care! I hope the rest of your year is everything you desire it to be. 

Much love,

Scallops, kitties, narwhals, hedgehogs! Oh my goodness! Those tags are soooo adorable. I am traveling right now with no access to a color printer, but I'm pretty sure as soon as I get home I'm going to have to print those out and use them for other gift-giving occasions! Love!

I love your solstice photos as well. I think it's so beautiful that people celebrate the solstice! It's something I never heard about until recent years but it makes so much sense.

I don't know why, but I've always loved narwhals. Unicorn whales! The oven mitts one is my personal favorite, though. I'm melting over here.
Celebrating the solstice is something a little new to me and I LOVE how this area does it up so much. My mom always had solstice celebrations at our home in Jersey but we were always the weird family! I love seeing others do it around here.
