Crafty Chapters: The Midnight Library

Author: Matt Haig

January 25 • 12:00–1:30 PM

Step into the in-between with us as we dive into The Midnight Library — a story about choices, second chances, and all the messy, magical maybes of a life not yet lived.

We’ll spend the first part of our gathering chatting about the book: the regrets, the what-ifs, the could-have-beens, and the “wow, that hit harder than expected.”

Then we’ll shift from discussion to creation as we build our own

Spell Jars for the Life You’re Dreaming Of

Choose your herbs, crystals, intentions, and tiny treasures to craft a beautiful little portal of possibility. Think of it as honoring the version of you who’s ready for her next chapter.

No crafting experience needed — just curiosity, conversation, and a willingness to wonder “What if?”

Bring your thoughts abut the book, and your intention for the year ahead.

Let’s discuss reflect, and make a little magic together.

Crafty Chapters: Love You To Death

Sunday, February 22, 2026 • 12:00–1:30 PM

Cost: $25

(Book not included — please read before attending.)

Dive into a dark, twisty love story and then make something deliciously gothic to go with it.

Join us for February’s edition of Crafty Chapters, where we’ll discuss Love You To Death by Rowen Chambers and then create our own decorated wooden coffin trinket boxes. Think mysterious, romantic, a little edgy, and entirely you.

We’ll spend the first part of our time chatting about the book — the red flags, the tension, the characters we rooted for (or didn’t), and the plot twists we did not see coming.

Then we’ll shift into crafting mode as you design and embellish your own coffin-shaped keepsake box using paint, washi, rhinestones, charms, vintage papers, and other gothic-romantic bits. You’ll also choose a few meaningful items to tuck inside — a tiny charm, an intention note, dried florals, or whatever feels right for your story.

No crafting experience needed. Just bring your book, your thoughts, and your creative spirit.

Come read, discuss, and make something unforgettable.
