WestWard, Winter edition. Layers are key. Our first stay since back from New York. The last Christmas Day after our flight was canceled. King tide doing a number on our beach stairs days after in late December. Natural beauty both breathtaking and completely out of our hands. Big fire going. Roast chicken on the menu. #Preppy #MondayIsOurSunday At #WestWardVashonIsland

Quintessential Seattle. Snapped right after I was closing up the Market shop after a busy Saturday. This is the view our customers look at out the big picture window when we are wrapping their purchases. #SeattleLove #ILoveThePikePlaceMarket #NoFilter At #WatsonKennedy

Back from New York and hit the ground running. The windows were in need of a Valentine refresh. I pulled up in front of the First & Spring shop early Thursday morning to Heather turning the green painted walls pink. Then an idea that has been germinating in my head for awhile struck. Let’s have the windows be a field of flowers. Within moments, I was calling our friend @jeannemckayhartmann to see if the idea intrigued her. It did! 24 hours later she was doing her magic painting the day away up in the windows. People were stopping all day snapping photos and taking videos. I did not want to hinder Jeanne’s creative process so I did not mention I had envisioned roses. The second she started painting I was outside looking in clapping and smiling from ear to ear. Kismet. It is what I love most living a life filled with creative & thoughtful friendships. Making dreams realities. It was the perfect start to a new year filled with possibilities, and for the moment, where everything is coming up roses. At #WatsonKennedy™

Fun to arrive to Seattle late in the eve on Wednesday night and turned on the kitchen lights to be greeted by this. The big vintage glass jar I filled right before Christmas just about to burst open and fill the apartment with the sweet scent of paperwhites. These were the tiniest bulbs we have ever seen, so I filled it up with the whole bag that was delivered. The stems much thinner than normal, which I quite like as the jar is chock-a-block full of them. Thought these had to be our {Flower Friday} blooms of the week. For the moment. More to come later today! Everyone have a fab last week-end in January! XX, T

It started to snow a bit again right as we were packing up the car to head to the airport. I thought of it as a farewell flurry until we are back in May and the lilacs will be in bloom. We feel so fortunate and count our blessings every day we are at Hawthorne that we get to celebrate each season there. This stay was restorative in so many ways—for body, mind & spirit. It was our first time without Bailey which took lots of adjustment. Her giant spirit packed in that eleven pound body swirls around every part of our Hudson Valley home. It always will, which we take great comfort in. The two snow covered lions out front always keeping an eye on and looking after things while we are away. I always say to them as we drive away. Boys take good care of the place for us until we are back. At #HawthorneGhent
