❄️Twelve Days of Winter Collection: The Official Unveiling

Updated: Nov 14, 2025

TRANQUIL • LUMINOUS • ROOTED

Stories from the studio, reflections on process, and the art of the handmade.


A Season Shaped by Twelve Words

For months, my studio has been dusted with snow-white scraps, shimmering fragments of collage, soft pine greens, and glimmers of silver. Today, I finally get to share what has been living quietly in my hands and heart: the official public release of the Twelve Days of Winter Collection.

Rooted in twelve winter-inspired words—Echo, Frost, Kindle, Shimmer, Glisten, Pine, Ember, Drift, Glow, Snowfall, Gather, and Radiant—this collection celebrates the poetry of the season. Each word shaped its own world, guiding the colors, textures, and emotions woven into every handmade book, ornament, and pagekeeper.

Together, they form a constellation of winter: the hush, the brilliance, the warmth, the stillness.

What’s Inside the Twelve Days of Winter Collection

  • Handmade Collage Ornaments

    Each ornament is a hinged glass and metal framed, holding a tiny collage that captures the feeling of its word. They sparkle on a tree, brighten a wall hook, or sit as artful accents on a shelf year-round. Small in size, abundant in story written on the back of each ornament.


  • Artisan Board Books

    Tactile, weighty, and made for writing or memory-keeping. Every book features a hand-painted and dyed Khadi paper cover, collaged to reflect one of the twelve themes. Inside, 72 single-sided (or 144 double-sided) smooth white pages invite sketches, journaling, or quiet reflection.


  • Winter Word Pagekeepers

    Slim collage bookmarks carrying each winter word like an anchor. Perfect for a current read, a seasonal journal, or as a small, meaningful gift.

A Collection Rooted in Craftsmanship

Each piece is crafted by hand in my Northern Idaho studio—layer by layer, word by word. These objects carry the quiet magic of winter: the shimmer of morning light, the warmth of a small ember, the glow of gathering inside when the world grows cold.

This is a limited-edition seasonal collection, created in small batches and available while supplies last.


Packaging with Purpose

All pieces arrive gift-wrapped in winter whites—silver boxes, soft white ribbon and silver ribbons, and custom word cards—echoing the calm, luminous spirit of the season. Whether gifted or kept, each item arrives ready to offer a moment of winter beauty.

The Art of Winter, From My Studio to You

The Twelve Days of Winter Collection is a reflection of the season’s gentlest gifts: stillness, spark, wonder, and warmth. Creating these pieces offered me a chance to linger in those moments, and my hope is that they bring the same sense of pause and illumination into your home.
