The November Almanac

An afternoon indoors, with something lovely on the go...

The November Domestic Almanac is a richly illustrated A4 printable from BrocanteHome, full of seasonal reading, warming recipes, domestic experiments and old-fashioned paper play. It’s for the woman with a book on the go, a project at the end of the table and a fondness for making things when it gets dark at four.

Inside the November edition:

• Indoor life & domestic fieldwork: Essays and small experiments for making room for a project, returning to something half finished and making home easier to live in.
• The November Kitchen: Leek, potato and mustard gratin, apple, prune and orange tea loaf, cheddar, oat and caraway biscuits, and more.
• The Reading Room: A November reading shelf, a film suggestion, reading notes, bookplates and cut-out marginalia.
• The Playground: A little magazine to fold, tickets for the indoor life, writing papers and an envelope, plus two sheets of autumn leaves for the November Disposal Society. Write an old regret on one and dispose of it as you see fit. The committee won’t ask for minutes.
• The Quiet Colouring Room: Three detailed domestic scenes to colour: a worktable, a kitchen notebook and a collector’s shelf.
• Anticipating Christmas: Ideas for thoughtful presents and an evening of making, an orange and ginger biscuit recipe, and printable gift tags and enclosure cards with faded gingham and little stitched details.

There are field notes, pockets for November’s small keepsakes, a November Body Forecast and one last note to cut out and tuck into a book.

Print the whole Almanac or just the pages that take your fancy. Read an essay while supper cooks, make something with your good paper scissors, or leave a colouring page out for the next afternoon that turns out to be yours.
