Old-Fashioned Adult Coloring Books for Quiet Moments
There was a time when the passing of a year could be seen in the work of the home. Seedlings appeared in spring, laundry moved in the summer breeze, pantry shelves filled after the harvest, and winter evenings gathered everyone closer to the hearth.
The Parlour Collection grew from a love of these ordinary moments. Through Agnes and the rooms of her old-fashioned home, the illustrations celebrate useful hands, thoughtful homemaking, simple traditions and the pleasure of slowing down long enough to notice them.
Each collection is available as a printable digital PDF, ready to enjoy whenever you would like to spend a quiet hour coloring.

Agnes does not live a remarkable life, and that is rather the point.
Her days are shaped by the home around her: meals to prepare, clothes to wash, gardens to tend, letters to write, rooms to care for and traditions to keep. She notices the seasons because the seasons change the work before her.
Through her world, we are reminded that a meaningful life has never depended entirely upon grand occasions. Sometimes it is found in bread cooling on a kitchen table, clean linens on a line, preserves arranged on a shelf, a chair beside the fire or the light of a lamp at the end of a long day.
Agnes may belong to another time, but perhaps that is part of her charm.
