What We Love About January

Jen lives in the country, and she’s been sending us pics of the icy hikes she's been taking.

I know it’s tough to be enthusiastic in any way about winter, especially if you don’t have this eerie, breathtaking, view in front of you. You can easily be unenthusiastic about winter WITH the view; it is, after all, icy freakin’ cold and treacherously slippery to boot. 

But, being a constitutional introvert, January plays to my strengths. Despite the subject line, I still can’t say I LOVE January, the way I love the cozy promise of Fall or the electric potential of Spring, but I appreciate the way it challenges me to put my introverted tendencies to good use. January is somehow the month my partner & I always end up painting our house, putting up art we’ve hoarded, keeping the space as clean and light as we can. I don’t necessarily WANT to, but I feel very settled when it’s done.

What We're Using

Warbly Mugs

This is the season of MUGS, and Jessica's Warblys are some of my favorites. Warbly mugs are a wheel thrown, hand carved celebration of movement and texture. Each one has its own one-of-a-kind imperfectly perfect spiral grooves to fit your fingers. Jessica's signature freeform hand-carved motifs dance between glass-smooth glaze on top and fine-sanded iron oxide finish beneath. A perfect companion for the space between your hands.

If you need some inspiration for what to put in your mug, we highly recommend checking out the locally foraged & homegrown teas at Hill and Holler Herbal Co.

Be well,

Lauren
