Dear friend,

I’m so glad you found your way here. Pen & Hive Studio is a slow cozy corner of the internet where I write about the small meaningful things that make up a life. Things like tending bees and the garden, creating portraits of homes that hold family memories, and noticing the ordinary beauty of each day.

As the world speeds up let’s slow down. It’s in the stillness that God often speaks and we are able to listen. I’d love for you to stay a while and explore the beehives, garden, and studio.

I’ve also written a cozy mystery that I’ll be sharing as an old fashioned serial a chapter a week. You can start reading here if you think that sounds like fun.

Feel free to write back (you can use the comments) and let me know how your garden is growing and if you have read any good books lately. Do you think people are tired of social media and would like a newsletter? Another thing I’m pondering. Tell me what you think about that idea.

With honey and ink,

Michelle
