The first cool winds have arrived, and with them comes the promise of something cozy. In our cottage kitchen, the first signs always show up in little ways: a dusting of flour across the counter or the scent of spices warming in the oven.

This year, I wanted to share that feeling with you in a new way. Beginning today, the website will be counting down the days until October 20th. Each day holds a small note of warmth…a reminder of the season ahead, a whisper of recipes to come, and the glow of something waiting just around the corner.

Why October 20th? Because that’s when the gingerbread on my calendar finally gets to tell his secret. For now, I’ll just say this: it’s been baking in the cottage kitchen for months, and I cannot wait to invite you in.

Until then, join me in savoring these days of anticipation. Let’s linger in the quiet joy of the season building around us, one day, one candle, one sprinkle of flour at a time.

Stay cozy,
Autumn
