One Year Later...
It's been a year since my last post to this blog, and in that time a lot has been accomplished. I've updated my website with an entirely new design (including in this blog!), I've been to Europe and Japan, I've been on the board of the Georgia Watercolor Society, I've pitched and won major new clients for Edelman, I've worked on a total kitchen/living/dining remodel for an interior design client, I've enjoyed Michelin-starred tasting menu meals, and I've been gardening roses and obsessing about my lawn as ever.
More to the point: time flies when you're busy. But I have a lot of beauty to share that has been sitting in the wings as I worked to update my digital presence. And this, the annual gingerbread update, marks the end of one year, and the beginning of a very new life for this blog.
I'll say more about this another time, but while in Japan we collected so many beautiful ceramics and crafts. So, so many. Not least of which are the willow woven placemats used in this shoot. They inspired a return to a natural aesthetic for this year's batch of cookies, and in turn these photos show simple, still-life inspired compositions with the bare-bones elements that drive all delicious gingerbread: the bite of fresh ginger combined with the sweetness of sugar and molasses. And I don't deny that I'm a sucker for little spoons.
We'll be enjoying these cookies along with family and friends, and I hope you all get to enjoy the spoils of the season – along with the peace, joy, and stillness that the world so desperately needs right now – as well. Happy holidays!

Chocolate snowflake cookies
I set up a table at Cosima’s birthday party with a platter of cookies, lots of sprinkles and these three squeezy bottles of coloured glacé icing so they could decorate their own cookies
