In Pursuit of Tea brings ethically sourced, single-origin teas and herbal infusions from Cornwall to curious drinkers.
Our editor-in-chief, Mary Beth Lawlor, enjoyed a beautiful day at @fenimorelane this weekend - held at the always stunning @mayflowerauberge in Washington, CT. It was inspiring to see and meet so many female-owned businesses. If you like to shop, are into the details, and tend to be more of a traditional maximalist, you’ve found your home. ❤️ Solid quality vendors all curated for you by interior designer @arielokin and her brand @fenimorelane - Don’t miss it next year!
So many wonderful booths but some of Mary Beth’s faves were:
@shopwovenhome - just look at that gorgeous picnic basket!
@lelion - gorgeous custom monogrammed cashmere sweaters and tops
@ninefairbackgammon - the most beautiful customized backgammon sets
@fewerfiner - gorgeous vintage jewelry
@katefiglerinteriors - Kate is a talented designer who also happens to be the daughter of @fifendrumrestaurantkentct owner Elissa Potts
@themckenzieshoppe - located in Sharon, CT, she has the most darling linen lampshade covers (and so much more!)
@fleurissantnewport - I couldn’t resist one of their gorgeous silk tunics.
@shopinslee has the most delicate and pretty watercolors - and business partner Schuyler is a local.
@kerrymcgauley - had some fun summer jewelry - you could even choose your cord and add some charms. 🩵

Barbara Pierson has shaped the legendary @whiteflowerfarm nursery in Morris for 26 years, bringing deep expertise and genuine passion to one of Litchfield County’s most beloved institutions. Here, she shares her five favorite edibles from the farm’s kitchen garden. She uses the word “edibles” intentionally, since tomatoes and other food crops are technically fruits, not vegetables.

If the early morning chorus of birdsong outside your window sounds more like a racket than a symphony to you, it’s time to reconsider. Turns out that tuning into the avian world can make us happier. New studies have shown that birding, the act of observing and listening to birds, can reduce anxiety, stress, and depression by directing our attention outward.
