July | a final thought

Iona Bower July 22, 2020

From Am I Overthinking This by Michelle Rial (Chronicle Books)

We’re nearly at the end of our July Unwind issue and our August issue is just around the corner. We hope the issue helped you unwind a little, as well as find some things to inspire and give you hope.

Here’s an image from our back cover, to make you smile. Will it be ok? We’re hoping for the best, too. It usually works out just fine.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
