Although we just returned from a trip to Japan, my Nashville City Guide has been a long time coming, so I’m finally sharing it (don’t worry, Japan is soon to come!). Nashville has been on my ‘to-do’ list as a city to visit for quite some time. I must admit that country is probably my [...]

Links for all product images, below. Kelly’s blog, Design Crush, is a daily stop for inspiration. I can’t remember how I first came across her site, but we have since become ‘Internet friends.’ Kelly has exceptional taste and a keen eye for all things cool, so I am thrilled to have her stop by Turntable Kitchen today, [...]

The first time I laid eyes on Jeanine’s site, Love & Lemons, I was in love. Not only do I admire Jeanine’s creative recipes, but I am in awe of her design skills. Jeanine and her husband Jack are also a blogging duo (though Jack’s work is mostly behind the lens). They live in Austin, [...]

Recently, I wrote a short piece about summer movies for Gather Journal. It skewed toward being poetic and inspired a fair amount of nostalgia. The article came as a surprise to my friends and family who know that I am somewhat notoriously not a movie person. I am spectacularly behind on new releases (though I [...]

I’m turning 30 in a few short weeks. A nice number. If feels heavy, but in a good way. Like a quality watch, or a cutting board made of real wood. I have accomplished a few things that I am proud of. I never made a ’30 before 30′ list. I have visited 19 countries [...]

I’m charmed by The Flower Recipe Book by Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo, owners of Studio Choo, a floral design studio here in San Francisco. I first came across their arrangements at the San Francisco Kinfolk brunch last year, and was blown away by their approach to arranging flowers. I adore having fresh flowers in my home, [...]
