The Fall issue of The Violet is here, with "Four Soups for Fall" by yours truly. (I'm obsessed with the apple butternut squash.) I've loved working with these gals and am nothing but proud of what they've put together.

Savannah and Rebecca's Charleston home was beautiful in a very intentional, yet very effortless way. As artists, everything in their home was either their own work or had another story of its own. The details are what got to me, mostly. The tiny music box on the window sill, the overgrown house plants, the endless newly begun art. Only some things were finished finished, leaving a world of possibilities for everything else.

And just like that, a whole new life is here. Less than 24 hours ago, we didn't know if she'd be a girl or a boy, if she'd be early or late, or what her name would be.

Raven Sophia.

or Bubble Guppy, as we've started calling her since she blows so many bubbles. She has the thickest hair underneath that tiny cap and when you're holding her, you can already see her eyelashes. You can tell that they're going to be long.

Welcome to the world, little Raven Sophia. My newest niece. Can you believe that so many people already love you?

Sugar is one of the cutest bakeries anyone could ever dream up. It reminded me a lot of Bakeri, being small and quaint and seeing Kirby's stylin' headband. I was just about floored with the caramel cupcake and am convinced that bakeries are best when they're tiny but filled with people just as sweet as their treats.
