Celebrate the launch of the Twelve Days of Winter Collection—twelve words, three handmade pieces each, and one luminous winter story brought to life through collage, books, and artful design.

Before the unveiling comes reflection. Twelve winter words — once scattered and separate — now gather as one: a story that became books, ornaments, and pagekeepers in the Twelve Days of Winter Collection.

The final words of the Twelve Days of Winter Collection—Ember, Glisten, and Snowfall—speak to the transformation of warmth into light, and light into stillness. Each reflects a moment in the season’s rhythm and the art of the handmade, where creativity glows softly and beauty settles into calm.

Winter has its own vocabulary — words that sparkle like frost or echo like boots in the snow. Here’s how literature and art have embraced them, and how they inspired my Twelve Days of Winter collection.
