Greetings from our new studio space in the Garment District! Settling into a new workspace has been a longer process than I anticipated, but I'm so happy to finally be able to welcome you during our open studio hours in the coming weeks.

Dear friends: a bittersweet announcement. I will be moving my studio next week.

We happily spent a few hours beneath the cherry blossoms this week. The garden is just bursting with life and many of the spring ephemerals are in their fleeting, gorgeous prime.

Finally the time feels right. The precise moment where the spirit of one season gives way to the next isn't always neatly aligned with the calendar, and until this week, the spirit of Spring has felt just beyond my grasp.

We've returned from our trip to welcome a new month and today's lovely market at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It's always a fairly big deal for me to pack things up for an event outside the studio, but today was worth it.

I've been preparing for a few days away this week, this time for our annual winter visit to M.'s grandparents on Sanibel Island, Florida. A little escape could not possibly feel more timely, as yet another snowstorm passed through here overnight.

More snow on the way tonight. Serious hibernation feelings happening around here these days. I'm trying a slightly different heating configuration at the studio this winter, with mixed success.

A new year, a few days to rest. New projects taking shape behind the scenes. As always, so grateful. Here are a few photos from our recent trip to the West Coast. And some words about the shoreline.

For me, the two sides of autumn will always feel a bit at odds. We're torn between the energy of shorter days that ask us to slow down, to gather and rest, and the intense uptick of activity in advance of the holidays.

Even though it may reach 90 degrees here in the city today, I can feel autumn sneaking in. We spent two days last week at Early Girl Farm on Long Island checking our bees and getting our hands dirty, and the angle of the sun felt so different. The scent in the air, too.

We harvested the first of our honey this week. It was so beautiful. When we began keeping bees last year in a garden in Brooklyn, we got a late start and didn't harvest honey last fall in order to leave the bees enough to get through the winter.

The Summer Getaway kit is here! One of my favorite collections yet, this set includes everything you need for a luxurious summer day or two out of town, or for a peaceful moment at home…
