The other night I got home to a copy of the first issue of Ontario from my dear friend Yoshie. Yoshie has started Ontario with two other women, and the first issue is so good! The magazine describes itself as " drawn to coincidentally found curiosities that might be commonly overlooked. These may guise themselves in the forms of people, sceneries, environments or moments. This publication is a road map for such encounters. " Highlights include : a soup recipe, a look at a small cozy space, trips to the rodeo, and girls collecting ink. You can purchase the first issue on their website, there's also a list of stockists as well if you happen to live nearby, you should go take a look in person.

We just got back from a great weekend visit with Joyce and her husband Ben in Vermont. We had such a fun time! They took us to all their favorite places, including a farmer's market, Vergennes Laundry (a lovely bakery), Lake Champlain for kayaking, and an ice cream shop for "creemees" (also known as soft serve, though I like "creemee" better and am glad I learned this new word.)

I also might add, they cook the best Mac & Cheese ever! J + B have one of the most interesting houses I have seen - a Techbuilt prefab - we loved hearing about it and the projects they have been working on. It's always so fun to meet people who you've been blog buddies with, I can't wait until we get to see them again. Thanks so much guys!
