A Little October Pause

October always seems to arrive with more things to do than there are hours in the day.

So today, I’m keeping things simple.

Sometimes creativity doesn’t need a big project or a perfectly planned afternoon. It can be a few minutes spent gathering pretty papers, noticing the changing light, pulling out an old autumn decoration, or setting aside something interesting for a project we’ll get to someday.

Those little moments count too.

There are plenty of things happening behind the scenes here at Butterfly in the Attic, and I’ll have more to share soon. But for today, I thought I would simply stop in, say hello, and wish you a lovely October day.

I hope you find a little time today for something that makes you happy—even if it’s only for a few minutes. 🍂🦋

What little thing are you enjoying about October right now?

Come wander through Butterfly in the Attic and see what’s new. https://butterflyintheattic.shop/

The Attic Is Ready for October

Autumn Remembered Handmade Journal

 The Attic Is Ready for October

There’s something about the last day of September that feels like standing in a doorway.

Behind us are the softer days of early autumn, and just ahead come October mornings, glowing leaves, pumpkins on porches, longer evenings, and all those wonderfully nostalgic little things that make this season feel special.

Here at Butterfly in the Attic, October also means the attic begins to change.

The Halloween treasures come out, autumn colors settle into every corner, old papers and handmade journals seem especially at home, and I find myself reaching for all the warm, weathered, slightly mysterious things I love.

I’ve been busy behind the scenes lately, organizing the shop and giving everything a proper place to live—from the Curiosity Cabinet and Hidden Drawer to the Paper Garden, Maker’s Worktable, and all the other little corners of the attic.

There are new things still to come, too.

For now, though, I’m simply looking forward to October.

I hope you’ll come wander through the attic with me this month and see what turns up.

Happy almost October! 🎃🍂🦋
