seasonal musings from city, studio & garden
september in the studio
That end-of-summer energy has me reorganizing some of the forgotten corners of the studio. A welcome energetic refresh as we approach a new season…
a summer notebook
The quiet days of summer have arrived. A certain stillness drapes across the city on the weekends. Thunderstorms bluster through. Soaking rain, searing heat, fireflies…
april enchantments
April is always such a busy time, our energy rises with the blossoming of the natural world outside, which can be both invigorating and a little overwhelming.
march in the studio + in the garden
After what could hardly be considered a winter, spring has arrived in the city a little ahead of schedule. The seasonal transition is always such a delicate time.

january in the studio
This month has been a time for restocking the studio with fresh batches of all our formulas post-holiday, as well as taking care of a few housekeeping tasks, like doing the inventory. So many tiny glass bottles full of treasure to account for!
winter in the garden
I’ve been cultivating a fresh appreciation for the winter garden this year, visiting regularly with the intention of noticing the details.

The first crisp morning of the season. After a hot, dry summer, a bit of relief for both the garden and ourselves.
