eatocracy….does the south
garden to table
i recently was turned on to eatocracy, which is cnn’s food blog. while i read a handful of different food blogs- i love them each for different reasons. one for the pretty food, one for the recipes, one because it’s vegan, one for the education factor. i really have been admiring this eatocracy because it really is about the story of the food, where food is coming from, and where the future of food is going.
last week they featured southern food. they had a secret supper at restaurant eugene in atlanta and brought several food folks together including chefs, writers, food activists, and of course the farmers. if you have the time to watch the couple of videos on their site, it is worth it. they really get into true southern traditional food, not just the food that we oftentimes associate with the south.

brown parcell press…. a gift idea
instant inspiration
since i have moved here, which has been over 6 years now….i have met so many creative and inspiring people. a few years ago i met the folks from brown parcel press and have been staying in touch and admiring their work ever since. they have recently moved their studio to a homestead in sparta, geogia where they print in an old general store. it sounds so dreamy and it really couldn’t be a better fit for them.
my favorite gift pick for this year is their fauna + flora 2011 calender. it consists of 13 wonderfully designed- letterpressed pages each inspired by the farm. it is seriously beautiful. you can find it here!
also check out their blog, called brown’s general, where they have lots of inspiring imagery to feast your eyes upon. it is my new favorite thing to look at!
and….megan has invited us down to see the farm. i can hardly wait, we’ll share some more on them soon.
psst…. this is a great way to support your local and independent designers and artisans during the holiday season.
winter stems
in the country
i’ve been so inspired by the brown and black skeletons of weeds and flowers this fall. as gestural and beautiful in death as in life. i set up a little backdrop in the idea shack and started studying their beauty…
