Welcome, Tears of Crimson Readers
From stories written on pages... to memories created by hand.
Author. Storyteller. Founder of TOC Creations.
For many years, I shared my heart through stories.
Tears of Crimson was a place where romance, imagination, and unforgettable characters came to life. I am forever grateful to every reader who opened one of my books, followed my blog, shared a review, or became part of that journey.
Writing taught me something I carry with me today:
Every creation begins with a story.
While my creative path has grown and changed, storytelling has never left my heart.
Today, those stories continue in a different way through TOC Creations — a handcrafted bath and body company inspired by family memories, Southern traditions, and the simple moments that become treasured memories.
Every fragrance has a story.
From Granny Louise's kitchen and her beloved Buttermilk Pie, to the gardens, farms, and front porch memories that shaped my life, each creation is made to bring a little piece of those moments into your home.
I invite you to pull up a rocking chair and join me at the Front Porch Journal, where I share the stories behind our fragrances, the inspiration behind our collections, and the memories that make TOC Creations special.
A Note About My Books
The stories I shared through Tears of Crimson will always hold a special place in my heart. Writing introduced me to wonderful readers, unforgettable characters, and friendships I will always treasure.
While my creative journey has grown in a new direction, the storyteller remains the same. Today, I continue creating through TOC Creations, where every fragrance begins with a memory and every handcrafted creation carries a story.
Thank you for being part of my journey — from pages written with ink to memories created by hand.
With gratitude,
Michelle Hughes
Founder & Maker of TOC Creations
