Hi!

Welcome to the new home of Gather & Hunt- the blog I started back when I had a vintage shop and being a photographer was just a hobby. Here you'll find stuff I love- recipes (lots of recipes), adventures, and some crafty stuff too.

Sunday with a few of the kitchen windowsill crew. (Plants from L to R: Anthurium ottonis, Begonia conchifolia var. rubrimacula, Pilea glauca [which doesn’t have an accepted name, apparently], Philodendron hederaceum aka ‘Micans’, Pe

I shared this on the @foliacollective account today, so head there if you want to read the long form and some of the actions we’re taking. The words of a @gungormusic song keep running through my mind this week: “We will not fight their w

fridays are for fightin'

today i awoke with a rather large list of to-do's in my head. hit some estate sales, sort/clean/price inventory, work on the website, clean the house, show an apartment. i also awoke with a migraine in said head. a battle ensued. the migraine won for awhile. i skipped the sales and stayed in bed a bit. then i decided to fight through. i'm still not feeling great, but with a mountain of vintage goods to deal with, and a desire to have a life, i couldn't let the migraine win.

here's to fightin' through! what are you battling today?
