RECIPES | DINNERS | TEA | SHOP June 6, 2025 Happy Friday! I know it's not officially summer, but it sure feels like it! Wouldn't you agree?! The parks in my area are filled with enthusiastic children and adults until late into the evening, the lakes are filled to capacity, and there is a feeling in the air of expectation. I adore this season because the story of summer has yet to be written, the possibilities are endless, and there is a whole string of days ahead. Not to mention, the best,...

RECIPES | DINNERS | TEA | SHOP May 16, 2025 Happy Friday! What is it about those days when the sun lingers, the mornings are early and bright, and the sunsets are brilliant and long? In Seattle, we have a mixed bag of rain and sun, but while the air is still chilly (at least to me), the sun is a bit warmer. The flowers are brilliant; I have roses beginning to bloom near the dining room window, and I'm counting the days until we dine with the fresh scent of English roses. And just like that,...

31Daily May 2, 2025 Happy Friday! Do you remember that line from a legendary movie-- "The hills are alive with..." My morning began early, early, early, with a drive into the city. The sky was still pink and fresh and new... and the dogwood trees were lush with beautiful blossoms.

New Feature on the Blog Do you like...

31Daily April 25, 2025 Happy Friday! As April winds down and May peeks around the corner, there's a quiet excitement in the air. The days are stretching just a bit longer, blossoms are painting the landscape in soft color, and the promise of a new season feels just within reach. It's the time of year that makes you want to throw open the windows, pour a cup of tea, and welcome all things fresh and hopeful. Before we dive into May, I'd like to take a moment to say thank you. It was such a joy...
