Letters from Flora: Solstice Greetings
Cozy winter vibes, baking treats, reading by the fire, and planning for the new year!
Hello lovers!
For as much as I'm a summer soul, there's something special about these short winter days. They've given me the perfect excuse to turn my home into a cozy little workshop! My kitchen's been a whirlwind of treat-making lately – mixing, stirring, and packaging up all sorts of goodies for friends and family. The house smells amazing, though I wish I had a little elf to help with the cleanup!
These long, quiet evenings have become my perfect reading time. There's something so peaceful about curling up with a warm cup of tea and working through my reading list. I've already finished four books this month – think I can squeeze in another one or two?
The winter solstice is just around the corner on the 21st! Don't get me wrong – I cherish these cozy winter nights, but I'm definitely ready to start seeing more sunshine again. Isn't it amazing how even a few extra minutes of daylight can lift your spirits?
I've received some sweet questions about gift preferences! While never expected, I'm touched by your thoughtfulness. For those who've asked, I have an Amazon wish list, or you can send a tip through my payment links. I also adore gift cards from Fortnum & Mason (I am obsessed with the Rose Pouchong and Queen Anne’s Tea!). Your kindness means the world to me <3

Quick heads up – my schedule's pretty packed for the rest of 2024, but I'm already booking sessions for January 2025. If you've been thinking about spending time with me in the new year, let's chat and make some fun plans!!

P.S. These quiet days have also been perfect for catching up on photo editing. It's so satisfying to go through photos and bring out their best. You know how I love to garden? Well, editing is a lot like weeding – just as important as the planting! I’ll be uploading some of my best shoots yet soon, I’ll release some sneak peeks here too.
