Hello friends, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here to The Tanglewood & Hearth Parchment Studio — a little corner of the world where old-world wisdom, seasonal softness, and slow living come together on the page. My name is Ava Morrow, and this shop is the heart of my creative work. For years I’ve been drawn to the quiet practices of our ancestors — the way they lived by the seasons, valued simplicity, and found meaning in small, steady rituals. Today, I channel that same spirit into the books, guides, and printables I create for readers who crave a gentler, more grounded way of being. This winter, I published my first series of books, each one carrying a piece of that calm, old-world rhythm I love so much.
Escape the Fast-Paced World: Old World Lessons for a Calmer Winter
This was the book that started everything. It’s a gentle guide filled with ancestral winter wisdom — the kind that helps you slow down, breathe a little deeper, and remember that winter is meant to be a season of rest, reflection, and recalibration. It’s full of timeless lessons we often forget in our modern rush. Alongside it, I created a companion workbook, now available in the shop. It expands on the book with prompts, reflections, and guided pages designed to help you put the ideas into practice. If you’re longing to build a slower winter season, these two work hand-in-hand beautifully.
Through the Long Dark: An Ancestral Winter Living Guide for a Modern World
This book is my love letter to the deep winter months — the long nights, the comforting rituals, the quiet inner work that seems to rise naturally this time of year. It explores how people once lived through the darkest season with intention, warmth, and emotional steadiness, and how we can weave those practices into our modern lives. It’s a book meant to keep you company during the coldest weeks — a reminder that darkness isn’t something to resist, but something to move through gently.
Stillness in the Snow: A Winter Guide for the Quiet, Ancestral Self
This one is for the introverts, the deep feelers, and the ones who find their peace in silence. Stillness in the Snow is a quiet companion for anyone seeking grounding, simplicity, and emotional steadiness as the winter unfolds. Inside, you’ll find reflections on stillness, slowness, inner warmth, and the restorative power of solitude. It’s a soft, comforting read — a deep breath in book form.
Tanglewood & Hearth Parchment Studio is more than a storefront. It’s a home for:
- Seasonal guides rooted in simple living and gentle rhythms
- Cozy winter and early-spring booklets
- Ancestral-inspired emotional wellness books
- Printable planners, journals, and workbooks
- And soon, more spring titles, more winter companions, and small, comforting products inspired by quiet living
I create each item with intention, slowness, and care — always with the hope that it brings a little warmth into your day.
If you’re someone who feels called toward simplicity, old-world practices, gentle routines, and a quieter way of being, I hope you’ll feel at home here. This shop is growing, and I can’t wait to share the next books and seasonal companions with you. Thank you for supporting my work, and for choosing slowness in a world that moves too fast. You’re always welcome here at Tanglewood & Hearth. With warmth,
Ava Morrow The Tanglewood & Hearth Parchment Studio
