We await our first frost of the season this coming week. I hope you are staying cozy and keeping your spirits up, wherever this note may find you…

Greetings from the heart of New York City where I've been assembling all your lovely parcels with care this week, while we await the first of the autumn storms…

I've always adored September in New York and these past few weeks have graced us with exquisite weather and a bustling energetic shift. Truly a marvel.

Besides the Autumn poets sing,

A few prosaic days

A little this side of the snow

And that side of the Haze -

- Emily Dickinson -

A month of very little rain….As things quiet a bit in the garden, they become more lively in the studio as I prepare for the bustling months ahead.

This month has been truly lovely in the garden, a spacious respite from the heat of summer. I’ve been very busy in the studio, releasing our botanical perfume, TILTH, and sending lots of treats out to our wonderful shop partners across the country.

So many fresh seasonal treats are arriving in the shop each day, as the weather cools and we settle into the longer nights. I invite you to cozy up with a cup of something warm and spicy and to perhaps draw a forest-scented bath…

Reveling in what remains of the slanting daylight this month in the studio and focusing in on the nurturing rituals that will hold us steady through the colder days ahead…

That end-of-summer energy has me reorganizing some of the forgotten corners of the studio. A welcome energetic refresh as we approach a new season…

In November, my focus turns to holiday preparations in the studio. This month found me starting lots of infusions…

This past month has been a time of many projects coming to fruition, and I’m so excited to finally share my new botanical perfume, elettaria, with you.

The first crisp morning of the season. After a hot, dry summer, a bit of relief for both the garden and ourselves.
