👀 A Peek Behind the Scenes

Hi, Reader, Life has been especially busy and hectic lately, and mostly in good ways! I'm putting the final touches on The Handmade Year, so my fridge is FULL of delicious treats that I can't wait to share with you. It has been especially hard to find *any* fresh rhubarb in my neck of the woods, but it is not a Spring magazine without rhubarb (plus lots of strawberries, fresh herbs, and more). I just have a few more projects to shoot and some final details to wrap up, and I'll be publishing it shortly! Expanding My Vintage Business At the same time, I'm also prepping to set up my second booth at a local antique mall. I've been in another mall since last May, which is when it opened. This "new" one has been an antique mall for 40+ years in a 100-year-old building. One of my vendor friends has been there for 18 years, and highly recommends it. It's been such a fun, creative pursuit to image a new space and how to make it my own. We've been looking at paint colors and sourcing heavily every weekend to find just the right pieces. My official move-in date is Wednesday, April 1st, so it's all coming up very quickly. It's been funny working on both of these projects over the last couple of weeks. The types of "work" I do are so far outside the norm of what other people do...and it feels good to live a creative life. This isn't what my life looked like 5 years ago, but if you were to ask little Rachael what she thought about how I live now, I know she'd be excited. I get to make, create, combine, test, and explore everyday! If you want to get your hands dirty this weekend and make a few things, here are some recipes/projects to try. Enjoy! |

Hi, Reader, Okay, so I'm a little bit of a nosey person. I LOVE reading comments on blogs and just seeing what other people say or think. (This can be entertaining sometimes when people substitute 5 things and don't understand why the recipe failed...) But, I especially love seeing comments on my blog and these reviews all made my day. Want to see what they said? Fresh Milled Flour Pancakes "These tasted delicious! The buttermilk was the star of the show. I wasn’t paying attention to the...
Hi, Reader! Happy 4th of July! I'm sure your weekend is packed with festivities, but I wanted to pop in to share a couple of NEW things with you. First, I have a new recipe on the blog! It's been such a hectic year that this is the first recipe I've published in like months... But, it's one I love, love, love. These raspberry crumble bars are the perfect berry-packed, not-too-sweet treat I love this time of year. We gladly eat them on their own, but they're also great with a scoop of ice...
Hi, Reader, After teaching myself to garden over 12 years ago, there is one type of plant I wish I'd planted earlier - fresh herbs. 🌿 I was working at a farmers market at the time, and I was way more interested in vegetables. I wanted heaps of tomatoes, zucchini, onions, and more. If I grew any herbs, it was usually basil or cilantro to use in pesto and salsa. This wasn't a bad idea in any way. I was growing what I knew I would use and enjoy! But here's the thing...herbs can shift how you use...
