SOUVENIR ISSUE IV souvenirlifestyle.com
Spring 2013
FROM THE EDITOR Spring is my most anticipated season. After being bundled up all winter, I greet the first warm day of sunshine with open arms and open windows. I look forward to meals made of early spring vegetables and time spent planting new seedlings in the garden and spring-cleaning my home on a Saturday morning. It’s the domestic rituals of the season that make everyday life so special for me. This issue we take a peek into two cottage homes that are filled with creativity and special touches that make them each unique. These cozy spaces inspire with their thoughtful details and prove that any space can feel like home with a bit of work. If you’re longing to get outdoors, we have several destination stories to spark your imagination for travel. Come with us on a fantasy vacation to New Zealand or explore a quintessential American town. Or take a trip to sunny Arizona and shop for the best antiques at a monthly event that draws big crowds. Let us introduce you to “The Artisans,” our new column that takes you behind the scenes of skilled craftsmen and artisans that are making a living producing fine products around the country. This issue features well made, original leather goods that I just adore. And if you’re ready to open your doors to family and friends, we’ve given you our best light and simple recipes that are positively delicious! To make your party planning even easier, we’ve interviewed talented florists who share their best tips, and we give you effortless ideas for setting a table and throwing an outdoor luncheon. This and so much more await you in this issue. Let’s celebrate the beauty of the season together. Heather Bullard
Editor-in-Chief, Founder & Creative Director
