GARDEN • VISIT : Hunter Park Garden House & Allen Street Farmers Market

It has been feeling warmer and more spring-like here in Mid Michigan and all the possibilities of a life lived outside and under the sun fills the air! I feel like today is a good day to show you a little garden and market visit I did all the way back in July. 

Hunter Park Garden House is located in Lansing's East Side neighborhood. The area is a food desert but the Garden House provides a number of programs such as a CSA, educational workshops for kids and adults, and a variety of other programs that bring food awareness to the neighborhood. 

The Allen Street Farmers Market, held year round on every Wednesday is held nearby and features local farmers, bakers, food vendors, and makers! In fact, this was the very first farmers market I went to after moving into the city and made this new city feel a bit more like home. 

Enjoy!

The other day, I thought I'd do a hashtag search for #debbiecarlos to see if anyone took any pictures of the posters they purchased and look what popped up! 

Dang guys, you make my prints look good. 

Love seeing them in your homes! Thank you!

Home • Visit : Claire Cottrell

Claire Cottrell first popped onto my radar when I came upon her gorgeous Freunde Von Freunden feature a few years ago. I instantly fell in love with her home, the way she embodied this cool, casual and effortless California lifestyle that I've always fantasized about (especially in the midst of brutal Midwestern winters). Neatly stacked piles of books, large art pieces on the floor leaning against the wall, flowers, plants, a hazy warmth infused throughout. 

From there, I went on to discover her site Book Stand, with carefully curated nature focused art books. I wanted everything. Her photography, her films are all gorgeous and I love that her aesthetic permeates everything that she gives us. 

Last July, I asked her if I could stop by her Silverlake home in Los Angeles to shoot her space and chat with her. She talked about her background in landscape architecture, art directing and all of her exciting upcoming projects. 

Thank you for being such a great host me beautiful morning last summer, Claire!
