I’m no food stylist but I can make a mean fried egg for an avocado toast. Except, of course, if I’m considering taking a photo of it. 🙄That’s when my egg will inevitably come out all wonky or not runny enough for my taste. Fortunately, it was still delicious and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Plus, stealing away a few quiet moments to eat alone with windows open and a warm breeze gently blowing in took it to a whole other level.
Hope your day is next level good too. xx

If you caught my stories from yesterday afternoon you saw that I have an er, um “problem” with hoarding flatware. As in boxes and bowls and even platters stacked high with a random assortment. It’s like I see a shiny thing (or tarnished thing) and can’t help myself but buy it. 🤷🏻♀️
So yesterday I threw the doors open to my studio, recruited a reluctant teen and polished flatware with the warm sun shining in until we couldn’t bear to polish another piece. Loads of silverware will be hitting the shop this weekend ~ but this remarkable set (in its original box) is already available in the shop.

Yesterday turned out to be a warm, sunny day with windows open and vodka tonics in hand. Feeling a little like most days seem to require an adult beverage (or two) to take the edge off. Apart from some (mildly) growing concerns for the state of my liver once this madness ceases, I’ve also been wondering how many facets of our lives will now be permanently changed. How many of us will become bold enough to change the things in our lives that we know need changing in order to find true happiness? How many of us will be more determined and dedicated to truly living out our best lives without compromise? None of us will emerge the same and my hope is that we emerge stronger and better than before. That is something I can definitely raise a glass too.
Speaking of adult beverages ~ this set of classic DOF glasses are available in the shop.

Another pretty set of mismatched plates and quite apropos since life feels surreal and a bit mismatched too. xx

Florals with stripes and classic blue and white are always a yes in my book. Last night for dinner I served a slow cooked French Wine & Mustard Chicken (from @halfbakedharvest ) with creamy, smashed red potatoes. It was as delicious as it sounds, however this morning was asked (by a teenager, of course) if I could please just make pancakes and bacon for dinner tonight. 🤷🏻♀️Seriously?
I love seeing how so many people are still focused on making meal time special right now ~ whether dressing up the table like @valeriemckeehan did with her recent Feast Vintage finds, serving breakfast on a stunning platter like my friend @foodlouise901 did this morning or getting dressed up for dinner like @wmbrownproject and @yolandaedwards are doing at their Upstate NY home. All the little ways to elevate the ordinary because the truth is that someday we will be sitting around reminiscing about the days of the pandemic when we were quarantined / isolated and some of the moments we are making now will stand out and be the memories we remember later. xx
p.s. my guess is pancake night will be one of those memories for my kids 🙄 #gofigure

No pictures of vintage today ~ just feeling a profound gratefulness for our sweet little farmhouse that’s perched atop one of these rolling hills and for all these lovable creatures who work so hard on this land helping us realize our dreams. They bring so much peace and clarity to my day and I couldn’t imagine my life without them even though I’ll never know what it’s like to sleep past dawn again. 😉
Hope you’re finding peace in your neck of the woods today too. xx
