Writer. Teacher. Wife. Mom. Actor. Director. Amateur Photographer. Wearer of many hats… Sometimes Chelsea felt like she must do everything, all at once. But over time she has learned that all things worth doing take time. There are seasons to be savored. Timing is everything. She is excited to finally turn her attention to her writing, something that has always been a part of her life. Chelsea holds her BS in Theatre Education from Appalachian State University and her MA in Educational Theatre from New York University. She enjoys great books, cozy socks, and the sound of her children playing happily together (this is sometimes short-lived.) https://www.chelseawilsonthayer.com/home daily 1.0 2021-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb97ded54f7ce084d085a00/1619699230250-OF705C7HXCXE6RFV2JVQ/thayer-60.jpg Home - In addition to being a writer, Chelsea is a theatre educator, wife, and mother of four.

This tree-climbing, corn shucking, Christmas-tree-farmer’s-daughter is nothing like the royalty in fairy tales. The Patchwork Princess explores a day in the life of Pippa, a feminine, yet fierce, young farm girl, who fancies herself a princess. With her crown of Queen Anne’s Lace (a regional wildflower) and a slice of cornbread, Pippa and her little brother rule over their dominion, a patch of farmland. Chelsea Wilson Thayer's story was inspired by the life of her own family. The rhyme and rhythm of the story capture the exuberant character of young Pippa while the exquisite illustrations by Beth Snider capture the beauty and warmth of the Appalachian mountains. This timeless story is a tribute to those that call these mountains home.
