“I could never in a hundred summers get tired of this.” Susan Branch Hello Friends, As summer is coming to an end and our college students are heading back to school, we’re thankful for the extended time we have been able to spend with our families over the past year and a half. We’re grateful for the simple joy of being together as a family and nesting in the sanctuary of our homes. We have continued to bask in the glory of all things New England within the comfort of our homes and village. However, we have also been reflecting upon how much we miss sharing our livelihood of New England living during this skewed season of life. As we look around our own homes and gardens and the inspiration they provide, our creative energy is running rampant. We are once again excited to share our passion for all things New England!
