Easter brunch may look and feel a little different this year. Since we all should stay home due to COVID-19, gathering with family and friends on Easter is likely not happening for us this year… we are safer at home, after all. But, we can still enjoy good, local food […]

In our opinion, it’s the unexpected gifts that make the biggest impression. The ones that are handmade; the ones that are from the heart; the ones that tell a story. Buying local and handcrafted is rewarding for the gift-giver, the recipient, and the maker.
