Let’s Get Cozy—Book + Gifts!

December 3, 2025

Writing A Cozy Winter Day was such a delight, and I’m thrilled to share it again now that winter has landed here in Minnesota. I hope it makes you want to curl up with a blanket every time you open it. I also put together some fun products featuring the artwork—mugs, ornaments, pouches, puzzles, and more. Something to bring a little of that cozy winter mood into your home, or give as a gift! Wishing a cozy winter season to you and your loved ones!
