Hello again!

Hello to all our dear customers! We had a very busy Thanksgiving week, and it was so beautiful and abundant in the shop. We had pumpkins, modern cornucopias and centrepieces with orchids and gourds. I love thanksgiving as it allows you to be with your family (this year it was just our little family of three and our cat Milla as our families are a little far away), enjoy a nice meal, and be thankful for the abundance that we have. Truly we are so blessed here to have such beautiful food, friends, community, nature, fresh water....

I am getting inspired about my garden again-perhaps because I can actually pull the weeds out easier! I have endless plans and visions for my tiny little space but this year I want to focus on building up the vegetable plot into at least twice its size-raised beds-with beautiful soil to grow lots of vegetables that I will actually harvest and eat. It seems to me it is hard to find time to garden in wedding season, but life is about balance, and it is really important to me to teach my little man Shem, where our food comes from, getting dirty and putting our hands in the earth.....

Shem doesnt like to wear shoes as you can see :) He just started walking on his own this past two weeks and it is-hands down-THE cutest thing I have ever seen. It makes my heart swell every time I look at him. Motherhood is the most incredible gift!
