Celebrating the traditional Swedish holiday of Saint Lucia- The Festival of the Lights. 🕯️ St.Lucia (283- 304 AD) gave all she had to deliver food and provisions to persecuted Christians hiding in the catacombs. When she was caught and refused to denounce her faith, she was martyred at only 21 years old. Known as “the saint of light” because, legend has it, when she delivered bread in the dark catacombs, she wore a wreath of candles to light her way in the darkness, because she stood fearlessly for her faith giving hope and light to others, and because her name literally means “light.” 🕯️ Hundred of years later, on Sweden’s darkest winter night, her feast day, December 13th, she became a symbol for light in the darkness, a tradition that carries on to this day. I have always loved the story of St.Lucy (which is heartbreaking yet beautiful) and so this year we celebrated and created some of our own more modern (easier-for-us-to-handle) traditions for the day. (Including a super easy saffron spelt biscuit) (My aunts also recently told me- after seeing this video- that St.Lucia is also the patron saint of the tiny Northern Italian mountain village our family is from, Giustino!) We celebrated a little early so we could share a how-to vlog about the day in hopes that others might join in for the actual holiday on December 13th. Sending light love to you all!! 🫶
Today’s the day!!! The MEADOW HOUSE TOUR PART 2- the fairytale bedrooms- is airing on our channel! Part 1 – the first floor- is out too so be sure to check it out if you missed it.

Full video House Tour of the Upstairs at our place is up! 🤍 from the stone walls to the cross cut-out to the stair railings to Narnia… each of the kids had their own ideas (the boys skewed Medieval & the girls asked for “old-fashioned” the guest bedroom was made from leftovers) (1st image of the “folk lamp” from my collection with @troylighting / photo by @helennorman … 4th slide I am SO excited about the new “voyage” bed from my collection with @woodbridgefurniture )

Slowly bringing Christmas into the orangery… found her in here the other day painting on her own 🫶🌲 The orangery is our “room of requirement” ~ our work-from-home-dining-project-garden-cozy-up room. Possibly my favorite spot in the house 🌿 Hoping to decorate the tree in there this week!
Broke in the new kitchen at the Whalerman’s Watch. 🌿 The garden is still going strong at the beach and the parsley was almost 4’ high (!! Must be that salt air?!!) so I used it in arrangements around the house and to make an herbal salt rub for the turkey. Downtime with the family & food food = my happy place 🫶
