There are probably more delicious things than a Brown Bear Bakery cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting and orange zest--but none that currently come to mind.
Rains and Sun Hilltop Farm
This small farm in Northern Kentucky truly has my heart. Rains and Sun Hilltop Farm is a hidden treasure as you would never think beautiful, organic fields of produce hide out behind a little cottage and old barn. I've known Anna and her family for almost seven years now and I've watched as they've worked so hard to fulfill their dreams by finding the perfect location, building fences and green houses, and investing in a local food movement that could rival a big city's. I hope to continue to see them grow for years to come.
Belly Laughs
Lindsey is expecting her little one any day now. What a spectacularly happy mama-to-be.
Expectant
Glitter
I had entirely too much fun shooting these awesome bath bombs and soaps for Venita of lahVdah. In our house, Descendants 2 mania has taken over so I definitely drew some inspiration from our favorite villain kids--especially Mal, Evie, and Dizzy. As gorgeous as these bath products look, somehow they smell even better. You can find lahVdah at Findlay Market every Saturday and Sunday.
Branded Woodworks
Sometimes you stumble upon something that just makes your creative soul sing--at least that's the way I felt when I first saw Lauren's woodworking for Branded Woodworks. Her handmade cutting boards and utensils are not only beautiful but fit that perfect narrative of utility. Your kitchen should be filled with things that make you happy and nothing makes me happier than having handmade, useful pieces that are beyond gorgeous. You can find Branded Woodworks at Findlay Market every weekend this summer or you can contact Lauren at brandedwoodwork@gmail.com.
I couldn't resist creating a gorgeous spread to highlight these pieces. The white peaches are from Backyard Orchard in Rising Sun, Indiana. The salted chocolate chip cookie is from Brown Bear Bakery, located just a few blocks into Over-The-Rhine at their amazing new location. The pistachios are from Dean's Mediterranean Foods, also located at Findlay Market. Everything was so delicious and my children devoured it immediately (I didn't even get a crumb of that cookie!)
