Porch Stories Has Returned

If you’ve been missing your weekly dose of small-town secrets, I have good news. Porch Stories is back.

I know there was a little gap between seasons. Life got busy, the porch needed some work, and honestly I wanted to come back with something that felt more like me. But we are so back. Season 3 is rolling out right now, and this season is all about the secrets small towns keep, the kind everybody knows about and nobody says out loud.

Episode 4 drops Thursday, November 12. If you’re behind or just finding the series, head over to my Instagram at @BayouBoundBooks and binge it from the beginning. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and settle in.

And if you didn’t hear, Porch Stories has its own exclusive holiday merch now. If you missed the Halloween collection, I’m sorry, fair is fair, that one’s gone. But the Christmas collection is here, and it’s just as limited. Once it’s gone after January 1, it’s gone. Shop the Porch Stories Christmas collection here

Thank you for sitting on the porch with me. I’ll see you Thursday.

Bayou Bound Books’ First Christmas Collection Is Here

If you’re the kind of person who wants to be wrapped up in something warm with a hot drink in your hands the second it gets a little chilly, this one’s for you.

The very first Porch Stories Christmas collection is officially here, and I’m so happy to finally share it. I wanted pieces you’d actually reach for on those slow, cozy holiday mornings, whether you’re curled up with a book, sitting on the porch, or opening gifts with the people you love. And because this is Bayou Bound Books, Santa had to come down the bayou on an airboat.

Vintage Christmas is making a comeback, so I leaned all the way into that old-school holiday feel.

Here’s what’s in the collection:

Santa’s Bayou Airboat Crewneck in Sand and Dark Mocha. Soft, neutral colors that go with everything and feel like the holidays without being loud about it.

Santa’s Bayou Airboat Tee in Brown Savana. For those Southern Christmases where it’s somehow still warm enough for short sleeves.

Vintage Bow Stamp Christmas Mug. For all my coffee and tea lovers out there. Fill it up, grab your book, and stay a while.

And keep an eye on the shop, because a few more pieces might sneak into the collection before the season’s over. 🎄

These also make really easy gifts for the reader in your life, or for yourself, because you deserve something cozy too.

The Christmas collection will be available until January 1, so if you’re a last-minute shopper or want to treat yourself after the holidays, you’ve still got time. After that, it’s gone.

Shop the Christmas collection on the Bayou Bound Books website before it disappears.
