Writer, Artist & Cozy Witch
books, printables and beauty for everyday enchantment and whimsy.
books, inspiration, and cozy things for creative souls
Welcome to my little corner of enchantment.
I’m Christine Rose Elle—a writer, creative, lifelong collector of beautiful things, and believer in the quiet magic of living a life that inspires your creativity and calms your nervous system.
My work is for creative, curious women who want more beauty, imagination, meaning, and whimsy in their everyday lives. Here, I explore the things that help us feel more alive: writing and storytelling, personal style and adornment, books and folklore, creativity, ritual, seasonal living, old wisdom, beautiful objects, and the small pleasures that make an ordinary day feel a little more enchanted.
I’m especially interested in what happens when we begin listening to ourselves again—when we follow our curiosities, make things simply because they delight us, dress like ourselves, surround ourselves with beauty, and allow a little mystery back into our lives. You’ll find books, essays and field notes, creative projects, rituals, beautiful things, works in progress, and plenty of whimsy. Consider this an invitation to make your life a little more beautiful, a little more meaningful—and much more your own.

Browse my little shop
My latest stories, notebooks, field guides, and curious creations live here. Everything begins with something I’m fascinated by—a bit of folklore, an old story, a seasonal ritual, a beautiful object, a question scribbled in a notebook, or simply the desire to make ordinary life feel a little more enchanted. These are my small, lovely things made for readers, writers, witches, and fellow collectors of whimsy.

Recipes & Rituals
Some of the oldest forms of magic begin at home: a pot simmering on the stove, herbs drying in the kitchen, a candle lit with intention, or a table set for the season. Here I gather the recipes, rituals, seasonal practices, and small acts of enchantment that help me make everyday life feel more meaningful. My approach is rooted in Pagan spirituality, folklore, symbolism, and a deep love of the traditions carried through kitchens, gardens, stories, and handmade things. You’ll find simple rituals, cozy recipes, seasonal observances, blessings, creative practices, and little ways to mark the turning of the year. These are invitations to slow down, pay attention, tend what matters, and bring a little more beauty, intention, and magic into ordinary days.

Cozy Fiction
The best fiction creates a world I that you want to linger in—one filled with old houses, peculiar neighbors, small towns, hidden histories, cups of tea, beautiful objects, and just enough mystery to suggest that ordinary life may be stranger and more enchanted than it seems. I write cozy mysteries, witchy tales, women with complicated pasts, and stories best read under a blanket with something warm nearby.

Teacup Theory
Teacup Theory is the idea that a life is not made meaningful only by its grand events, but by the small moments we almost overlook: the first sip of tea, rain against the window, a favorite sweater, a sentence underlined in a book, flowers on the kitchen table, or an afternoon spent making something with your hands. They are also where much of my writing begins. I look for glimmers— the opposite of triggers—the tiny micro-moments of happiness that give a sense of hope.

Welcome to my desk
i write stories that combine weird curiosity and coziness
My background in Cultural Anthropology and Art History first taught me to look closely at the material world—to notice how clothing, objects, homes, rituals, and even the smallest fragments can tell us something about the people who came before us. I also had a brief introduction to archaeology, forensics (including blood spatter patterns!), and excavation methods, which only deepened my love of clues, hidden histories, and the stories waiting beneath the surface.
That curiosity eventually led me more deeply into writing. I earned an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction and later studied applied mythology and psychological approaches to fairy tales, all of which shaped the way I think about story: not simply as entertainment, but as one of the ways we make meaning, preserve memory, explore identity, and understand ourselves.
I suppose I’m still doing what I’ve always done: gathering clues, following threads, and turning cozy moments into stories.

Bury the Child
After leaving an abusive marriage behind, Lacey Golden flees to Hirondelle House, an eccentric old estate in the small Lake Superior town of River Pines. She arrives hoping for a fresh start and instead finds herself surrounded by a cast of unexpected companions, a beloved retro diner, a house full of haunted oddities.
As Lacey begins rebuilding her life, River Pines slowly becomes more than a place to hide. It becomes a community, a home, and perhaps even the beginning of a love story she never expected.
Bury the Child is a contemporary romantic novel about starting over, found family, small-town belonging, eccentric old houses, and the surprising ways we find our way back to ourselves.
