Dear readers,

Happy Winter Solstice! To celebrate the changing of the seasons, we have a bonus episode of Attending Together for you, in which we attend to the winter solstice.

Before I tell you about this lovely episode, I wanted to write a little note to you dear newsletter readers: I’m sorry I haven’t written to you in so long! There is good reason: it has been so very busy here! I will send another note after Christmas and before the New Year, but thank you so, so much for all of your support this holiday season. I’ve been overwhelmed with gratitude for our community and seeing so very many of you here in the shop. You’ll hear more reflections from me soon, and here are my hours for the upcoming holidays:

Sunday, 12/22 - 11am-4pm (also 9:30am - 1pm at the Morris Winter Market!)

Monday, 12/23 - 10am-6pm

Tuesday, 12/24 - 10am-2pm

Wednesday, 12/25 - Closed

Thursday, 12/26 - 12pm-6pm

Friday, 12/27 - 10am-6pm

Saturday, 12/28 – 10am-6pm

Sunday, 12/29 - 11am-4pm

Monday, 12/30 - Closed

In this episode, I start off with several book recommendations to help you get into seasonal reading, then Victoria and Katie discuss how they know it’s winter.

We hope you enjoy this episode and you can find links to all of the books below.

Thank you as always for joining us on this wonderful journey, and you’ll hear again from me very soon.

Happy listening!

All best wishes,

Hailey
