Hello! And welcome to Dandelion Seeds, an illustrated newsletter from my desk to yours.

Over the past six weeks, I’ve loved sharing “Home is a Cup of Tea” with you, chapter by chapter. Today, I’m thrilled to say we’ve made it to the last installment — or as my husband Jose is calling it, the “essay finale” (cue dramatic theme music here).

This week, I had the idea to publish the full essay in one post, in case you’d like to read it in one sitting. And by having all the installments in one place, I also hope it will make it easier to share, if there’s someone else you think would enjoy it.

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of sharing my first illustrated essay on Dandelion Seeds, and know that I’ve loved hearing about your own journeys to find, and redefine, home.

With love,
Candace
