Shop ‘The Way Home’ collection – trendy clothes, stationery, cookbooks, books with time travel themes & more. Explore the world of the Landry women!

Fashion

The Landry women attire themselves for their daily grind of working and managing their small farm community in the misty, wet region of Canada. Kat, being a writer, prefers to dress in cozy and relaxed attire that mirrors my personal taste.

These oversized sweater cardigans are ideal for any ensemble and are available in a wide array of colors.

Kat wears the coolest zip-up biker jacket throughout the series.

These pleated wide leg pants are available in a wide range of vibrant summer shades and feature a drawstring for added convenience.

I love the 'GirlsGoneHallmark' podcast! Their Etsy shop is selling these comfy Port Haven, New Brunswick sweatshirts.

"I wish I could just jump back into the pond and go back to the start.
I really wish things could be different."

Stationary

Kat’s mother’s handwritten letter is significant in book’s start and end. The emotional note invites Kat and her daughter to Port Haven, reconciling their past. The letter holds immense power.

This Etsy store is truly a pleasure! A Thing Created offers bespoke paper goods and presents with a modern, feminine touch.

There's something truly special about writing to loved ones and colleagues with a gorgeous card and elegant calligraphy.

"The pond didn't take me where I wanted to go, but it took me where I needed to go."

Cookbooks for the Landry Farm

The women of the Landry family and various other characters frequently gather around the kitchen table in the farmhouse to enjoy mouth-watering, home-cooked meals.

With its delicious recipes and cozy meals, Half Baked Harvest recipes likely rival Del's family recipe, Kat's favorite roasted chicken.

"The past is never dead. It's not even past."

Food & Drink in 'The Way Home'

The abundance of references to the 90’s in this show, where Alice and her mother journey back to the late 90’s and experience life on a farm in a small, rural Canadian town, transports me to a nostalgic time filled with familiar foods that bring comfort.

One of my favorite episodes was set at the historic old-school theatre and I soon wanted my own old-fashioned, nostalgic popcorn!

Books with Time Travel

 This amazing series motivates me to explore more books related to time travel. The show touches on the intricacies and outcomes of time travel, and I am eager to expand my knowledge on the subject matter through literature.

Alice may have been born out of a love for the classic novel, Alice in Wonderland. The titular character, Alice, and the real Alice share a common experience of entering a new and unknown world. Alice may have been named after this beloved character as a way to honor the story and the journey it represents.

Alice's mention of 'Peter Pan' triggers discussions about not growing up, something Alice and Kat can relate to due to their unresolved problems with Jacob.

'One Last Stop' is a heartwarming love story filled with enchantment and time travel, turning the impossible into a reality.

Graham MacNeil fell asleep in 1745 and woke up more than two centuries later in an unfamiliar land with a modern-day woman.

This wildly popular time travel romance series, 'Outlander' parallels the time travel aspect of romance.
