Oh, happy day! Victober is here! 🍁🍂🧡🤎🖤 + October Collage/Writing Challenge

My friends! My favorite reading month of the year is here! Victorian literature has blessed me in so many ways. It’s beautiful writing, it’s gorgeous atmospheres, it’s delicious characters, and it’s over-the-top dramatics! 🎃

I’m hoping to be posting here a bit more this month (daily?!🤞🏻) in celebration of a beautiful month here in the Midwest USA and Victober.

I love putting bits and pieces of the ephemera of life together. Whether that be in the form of a poem, collage, quilting (hope to get back to it someday), pictures, quotes, making soup, lists, journals, or sending moments through the post. I invite you to join me in whatever way you can. 🤎 Post here in my comments, write in your own journal, post something yourself in your online home, or just meditate in your heart. Let’s rejoice together about a ‘new month with no mistakes in it…yet.’ 😁

My first little verse and collage in honor of this momentous month! 🍁

Which spooky or Victorian book should I start this very afternoon? The possibilities are endless! 🍁

May your coffee be hot and your book long and wonderful!

Happy October beginnings! 🧡🤎🖤🍁🍂🌾🎃

  1. Well, you are doing better than me…I have already made mistakes today, LOL! But, by God’s grace, each moment is a chance to do better than the last. I am finishing up Amanda Cox’s Things We Cannot Keep, and not quite sure what from my list I will dive into next. I have two quilts in progress, but haven’t worked on them in months. We are moving in a week and a half, and after we get settled again, I am hoping to dive back into those projects. Have a great week!

    1. Hahahaha! That’s a tongue-in-cheek quote from Anne of Green Gables! 😅🤣
      I read one of Amanda Cox’s titles before and enjoyed it! About a ex-Hollywood star and a hidden train? 😅♥️
      How wonderful that you quilt! I really miss it, just not my season of life for it. Wonderful children to homeschool! 😂
      God’s peace and blessings over your move!

      1. I didn’t take up quilting until after my kids were out of high school, I think I’ve mentioned before that I also homeschooled 🙂 Someday you will have time for more hobbies!

  3. Your journals are So gorgeous! Your posts always inspire me to pick up some more books. You read much more than I do. 📚 But I do so love books and reading. We are starting “Grayfriars Bobby” by Eleanor Atkinson as our family listen-aloud book. I sort of accidentally started reading “Pride and Prejudice” out loud last month, the kids are hooked so now I read aloud a chapter each evening. It’s a difficult book for me to read aloud! We watched a few episodes of the BBC miniseries so everyone could put a face to a name and keep the characters straight.

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words. ☺️📖✒️You could check out an audiobook from the library of P&P?! They have gorgeous British accents? 😅Sometimes I do that to save my voice! We love the older Austen movies etc, too!
      I’ve never heard of the Atkinson title! I’ll have to look into it! 🤩

      1. I tried several audiobooks and the kids didn’t like any of the narrators! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I guess it’s more fun for them to see me struggle through pronouncing all the big words! 😂 I love audiobooks! 🤷🏻‍♀️
