“The magic never really went away,” says author and artist Ellie Lieberman.
She’s talking about her memories of Christmases as a child, and beyond.
But she could just as easily be speaking of her Christmas short story, The Memory Tree, and her handmade creations through her small business, Acorn Tops.
The Memory Tree explores a magical–and poignant–Christmas Eve which a granddaughter and grandmother spend together
. It’s too good a story to ruin with “spoilers”. But think traditions, enchantment and wisdom shared between generations.
Meanwhile, as an artist, Ellie crafts unique Christmas ornaments and gifts. Scented fabric Christmas trees, handcarved ornaments and fairy creations–including fairy doors, scented fairy pillows and enchanting miniature “fairy bottle” designs–are all a part of her creative magic.
Another aspect of that enchantment is Ellie’s ability to immerse a reader in her other written works. Check out her children’s books and young-adult fiction, and her short stories in the anthologies A Horde of Dragons and The Playlist, on Amazon or on her webpage. Or, as a special gift to someone (including you!), consider picking up the Christmas anthology Enchanting Yuletide, in which The Memory Tree first appeared as one of the six published stories.
