Tips for Your Thanksgiving Tablescape
A few weeks ago, we got together with our friend Chas Thompson, a brilliant floral designer we’ve had the fortune of making friends with through this challenging year, to create these fall tablescapes that we hope get you inspired this season.
End of Summer Picnics
A couple of weeks ago, we set out to find picnic-worthy spots in and around Portland and we thought we’d share some photos from our adventure! Whether you go by the water, to the nearest park, or even on a rooftop, we hope you feel inspired to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy as many moments outdoors as you possibly can, it is good for the soul!

Table Culture: The Lemines
Last summer, Meghan reached out to us to learn more about our Table Culture project. A few weeks later, we were spending some time with her, her husband Matt, and their adorable dog, Ausley. The three of them live in a beautiful, light filled studio in NE Portland, just above one of our favorite coffee shops in town!
Table Culture: The Browns
Stacy and her husband Aaron fell for Alaska a while ago. They settled in Anchorage, where they built their dream home a few years back. The Browns are a family of eight, only their three youngest—E, E, and C, still get to enjoy home in the Last Frontier, as the oldest kids have departed to pursue degrees and careers elsewhere in the country.
Table Culture: The Williamses

Rachael is the extra talented ceramicist behind Margaret + Beau, a playful, minimal, handmade ceramics studio in Portland, OR. Our first encounter with her happened so organically…
Food and Wine Pairings With Crate & Barrel
We partnered with our amazing friends at Crate and Barrel to throw an easy, no-fuss gathering to toast away a weekday evening! We paired some super simple appetizers to some really exciting wines and avoided all of the other fluff to make more time for friend time!
Winter Picnic
With adventure in our hearts, a few of us packed up just a few items and headed to the Gorge to reset and take some time for nature and an epic lunch! We roasted up some winter citrus brined game hens, which we enjoyed with brie crudités and finished with pears poached in chai!
