it’s no secret that there is no shortage of creative folks here in athens. apparently this has always been the case. last night we went to Cine to view the movie “the world’s smallest airport”- a documentary of the thrasher brothers aerial circus. all i can say is, it was fantastic!
if you didn’t catch it in athens, there is a free screening at the elberton theater in elberton, GA.
see a trailer of the movie here.

the other day rebecca came in and painted our windows for the holidays. i think that the holidays are here!
nothing is as fun as woodfiring- quiet times out in the country. just you and the crackling fire. just keep throwing the wood in there to keep it hot. all that ash is landing on the pots as it makes its way through the kiln, leaving its mark on each pot. high hopes for the results, but since there’s no predicting the outcome, try not to get your expectations too high!
so, we have had some great athens-related food/book news as of late…
in addition to hugh’s book, former athenian tamar adler also released her first book, an everlasting meal, last week.
{tamar was the founding head chef at farm 255…}
yesterday, on a perfect fall day, a group of us gathered in the country and ate good food and listened to tamar read from her book, under huge oak trees.
some of us played on tractors, too.
’twas a great day on the farm.
our friend hugh‘s cookbook came out on tuesday:
A New Turn in the South introduces hugh & his food through his writing, his sketches and, most importantly, his recipes.
those who know hugh know that the community of athens is as important to him as it is to us ladies here at beauty everyday.
so, the book feels like an introduction to athens, as well.
please pick up a copy, from our new local bookstore, if you love food, the south, or just enjoy a good book!
(and i must add, that i had the great fortune to help by taking photographs for it and helping with it’s design, as well…)
some images from this shoot were included:
as well as illustrations from our friend susan:
jordan helped too:
kudos to clarkson potter for letting us all collaborate and for their creative imagery selection!
the end.
keep up with hugh here:

our good friend amy flurry and partner nikii salk make these amazing accessories entirely from tiny pieces of hand cut paper. this week, they will be taking their paper.cut.project to NY for fashion week. they have designed a series of hand cut masks for designer jen kao. i am sure it will be wonderful and inspiring- i can’t wait to see pictures.
here is a little video that shows how they make each piece.
