gatherround
Small gatherings, thoughtfully made. I bring together people I love, some of whom haven’t met yet, for afternoons of making, playing and talking about real things. All you have to do is show up.

this season · winter
A little challenge and a few things I’m loving, for slower days at home.
the winter challenge
write one letter by hand, and post it.
To anyone. A thank-you, an old friend, your grandmother. Stamps are the best part.
things I’m loving
read
a long, cozy novel
The kind you disappear into for a month of evenings.
make
a big pot of soup
Make double and leave half on someone’s doorstep.
go
a stormy walk at Clover Point
Best on the windiest day of the month.
try
a phone-free Sunday morning
Coffee, a record, nowhere to be.
simple ways to see a friend
a walk and a coffee
Forty minutes, no plans needed.
puzzle and tea
Talk without having to look at each other.
thrift, then lunch
Twenty dollars, best find wins.
cook side by side
One recipe, two sets of hands.
take-homes
Little digital tools for analog living, and the printables from each gathering.
fall 2026
a little divination
Birth charts, three cards each and envelopes still sealed.
