Thanksgiving table ideas from five designers, from pheasant feathers and antique Imari to Mexican wedding plates.
The holidays are the busiest shopping season of the year, and Litchfield Magazine readers shop locally. Our Holiday Issue goes to 20,000 households across the county—and our Holiday Gift Guide gives your business a presence that goes beyond a standard ad.
Your spotlight features a specific gift item or the types of products you carry—written to catch the eye of a reader who is actively looking for ideas. It includes your logo, full contact information, and everything someone needs to walk through your door or place an order. It reads less like an advertisement and more like a recommendation, which is exactly why it works.

Pilar DeMann and Emily Haggett have been friends for years, bonded by a shared devotion to the idea that beauty should feel effortless. Now they’re neighbors in Washington Depot, where Pilar runs her brow and makeup studio downstairs and Emily practices esthetics just above her. Two disciplines, one building, one philosophy.

When I first met Jennifer Bastiaanse at her 1790 colonial house in Litchfield last June, she was wearing a cotton floral dress and a pink work apron. Her front lawn was an explosion of pastel flowers and lacy ferns. So it was hard to imagine her a few months later dressed all in black, her yard transformed into a mashup of Tim Burton and Martha Stewart styles.

The Kent Pumpkin Run turns 50 this Sunday, October 25. What started with the Kent Lions Club and 113 runners has grown into one of the county’s favorite fall traditions, costumes very much included.

If you scanned the crowd at the Kent Pumpkin Run a couple years ago, you might have spied the ecstatic ’70s fitness guru Richard Simmons among the colorful crowd of runners.
Okay, so it was his doppelgänger, Nathan Samuel of New Milford, who ran the course wearing a tank top, a red bandana, and “shorty” shorts, with several leotard-clad female joggers in tow.
But real celebs including Kevin Bacon, Saturday Night Live’s Dana Carvey and Ted Danson have competed in the annual 5-miler.
But what makes the race special is not who zips across the finish line first; it’s the camaraderie, community support and, of course, the costumes, which make the race fun to watch.
On October 25, the Kent Pumpkin Run will mark its 50th year, falling as it always has on the Sunday before Halloween.
