Autumn Fairy Bookmark Collection

Aside from my poetry I also run an Etsy shop where I sell poetry necklaces, vintage books, and just recently these pretty bookmarks. For the last week of December I am running a 20% off sale everything in my book shop. On January 1st, I will have new listings for these magical Autumn Fairy bookmarks....

Frozen Bookmarks // Shop Update

Has anyone else started planning their goals for next year? I have. I'm ready to begin a new chapter. Chapter 2020. One of my goals is to worry less. Less anxiety. Less restlessness. Less fatigue. I want something to look forward to every week, something waiting for me after a hard day's work, a routine...

Autumn Fairy Collection

Take an idea and see where it takes you. My hope was my ideas would take me to my past self, and reconnect me to the person I was before I replaced her. There was an idea. I'd hold it in my eyes, focusing really hard on this idea. I trusted it. The idea I...

The Heaven Collection

It's been over a year since I first started blogging, and when I started it was just to upload all my poems I'd written over my life so I can have it all in one safe place. I also wanted to start reading as feverishly as I used to when I was 17, 10, since...

Spring Collection

I don't know why it never crossed my mind to design jewelry before. The first time I used resin was with my mom as a child making charm bracelets with empty star and moon shaped bezels. My mom cultivated a deep love for books by always taking me to book fairs, book clubs, and reading...

Book Boutique This Week

Pretty gang! There is some happy mail going out today!  I have severe nerve damage in my right arm and it's been depressing me so this came at the right time for me. One of the things I did in December to combat my suicidal thoughts (because I had them) was to plan things. I...

Travelogue: The Shire, New Zealand

An old friend of mine, Frank, went on a trip to New Zealand to see a Childish Gambino concert. A DJ himself, he's faithfully seen The artist behind "This is America" 7 times. Frank is pretty entertaining, with a clever sense of humor behind his spiffy suit and tie. I reached out to see if...

Witch Doctor

Skelentons. Bones. Voodoo. Enchantress. Last year when I stayed the night in New Orleans I came across a book on voodoo. It brought back a town haunted by ghosts, and with a graveyard outside my window, i read about a doctor's account of New Orleans in the early 18th century. This month has been all...

The Wild Woods

I've been swept away by Wind in the Willows. The prose in here is beautiful. I had no idea what I was getting into - i glanced at the synposis,  got it at a thrift store because of the illustrations. One rainy morning i sleepily walked over to my book shelf and felt my arm...

Faerie Hollow

For this post I wanted to try something a little different - I wanted to write a short exposition piece about the fae after seeing these creator's work and wanting to be a fairy too! I hope you fall in love with these and enjoy the short story - comment below or on my Instagram@theprettypoems...
