Lessons from Solitude

It feels like things are getting somewhat back to normal.  I am lucky in that I did not lose any friends or family members to COVID.  So to me getting back ot normal means getting out of the house, enjoying the company of friends and family, and slowly getting back to experiencing life as I knew it before everything turned upside-down.

Our Fall Botanical Guide

Fall branches and leaves.  We love them.  All of the Elsie Green shop girls have clippers and a sharp eye for a beautiful branch of fall leaves, apple branches, or fruiting olives.

Gratitude

I feel like we have said this every year for the last few years:  Thanksgiving is bound to be a bit different this year.   But some things stay the same. It's an opportunity to pause and be grateful for what we have.  And it's an opportunity to share those things with the important people in our lives.

City Guide | Lyon

Situated between 2 rivers, the Rhône and the Saône, Lyon is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The food, scenery, and truly exceptional people make it (dare we say it) our favorite city in France. Paris, je t'aime, but Lyon has my heart.

From the Archives | Grasshopper Summer, An Unexpected Reward

While being a small business owner can be frustrating, back-breaking work, it has given us rewards that can't be measured with the typical outward signs of success. The Grasshopper Summer is one of those rewards.

Checking In | El Fenn

El Fenn is an Elsie Green favorite. Since Sepi visited in 2019, it has slowly worked its way onto the travel wishlists of all of the EG shop girls. And to those of us who have made the journey, it was well worth it.
