European Dispatch | Paris, Again

I've been to Paris many times.  And each time I try to see a new aspect of the city.  But on my last visit, I was traveling with my son Jack who would be seeing one of my favorite cities for the first time.

European Dispatch | Good Medicine

I've been dreaming about living in Europe for a month since we started Elsie Green 12 years ago.  But the timing never worked - I had kids to raise, a house to keep, a new business to build.   But this year seemed like the right time.

Photographer's Guide | Classes and Resources

Photographer's Guide | Classes and Resources

I love to learn new things. I've taken class after class in different mediums - ceramics, wood carving, painting, videography etc. But my favorite classes to take are in photography. 
As can be said for every medium, each artist has something new to teach. I have learned so much over the internet these last few years.

Moroccan dispatch

Moroccan dispatch

Our photographer, Kelsey, just arrived home from a two-week jaunt in Morocco. 

We have long been inspired by the city of Marrakech and have a petite collection in our shop of handmade things from the souk.

Kelsey fell in love with the bright colors, the thoughtful touches in Moroccan decor, and the buzz of the country. She did a petite round-up of the pieces in our shop that she now has to have.

City Guide | Berlin

2023 seems like the year to explore some new places, so we began our first trip of the year in Berlin.  The city did not disappoint - we found Berlin to be a deep well of inspiration.

On the Road

On the Road

For the first several years after we started Elsie Green, JP and I had kids at home, so one of us would travel while the other held down the fort at home.  It worked very nicely, but we never had the opportunity to shop the French countryside together.
