So many lovely new tasty things have arrived as of late. I am always on the hunt for packaged food that is exception in taste, as well as being beautifully presented. The combination makes for yummy gift giving. As well as filling up your larder.

We arrived last evening to Hawthorne. The Hudson Valley greeting us this morning with tons of sunshine. Our month long stay will be a mix of rejuvenating, entertaining, hosting, work and a good amount of play. Always happy to have you all along. Hendricks says, “Let’s go on an adventure!”

Pink Geranium Love

May 8, 2026

We picked out the most stunning huge geranium plant at Bert’s a couple of weeks ago. It sits on top of a vintage trunk by the door at the First & Spring shop for all to enjoy as they enter and exit the space. It is blooming like crazy at the moment. I am a bit obsessed with how beautiful it is. The sun hitting it perfectly, almost making it glow. It is my pick for this Flower Friday. Everyone have a lovely, lovely May weekend. If you find yourself in downtown Seattle tomorrow, Saturday, stop on in for our Mother’s Day Open House. X, Ted

Flowering Jasmine 2026

May 7, 2026

Each year the flowering jasmine starts to bloom in the apartment, it is a reminder of such a gift of nature. It started growing through the tiniest opening of a window, now many years ago, and continues to thrive. Needless to say, it is always a conversation starter when guests come over. The past warm days help the blooms to release their scent, which is most impactful the moment you open the front door. Absolute heaven.
