Rainy Saturdays in the fall will always make me long for a little cabin on Cape Cod in the off-season. The colder, darker days where you could light a fire and play board games or read a book. Here at the shop, it’s bucketing down and we’ve got 70’s music playing. My entire youth is […]
Folk Magazine ~ Live Authentically
If you know me you know I am a little (ok, a lot) obsessed with magazines. In the early part of 2000 I’d spend countless hours at bookshops looking at special copies. My favorites were the British ones which were extra small but perfect for taking with you on trips. I’ve been patiently waiting for […]
Wednesday Want…Library Platter by Siren Song
Designer Thomas Paul’s Siren Song is such a stunning exploration of the details that make objects beautiful. Inspired in part by 16th and 17th-century Dutch paintings, many of the items in this collection give just the tiniest glimpse of the unimportant parts of the paintings. A spoon. A shell. A comb. At Charlotte Julienne, we […]

We’ve ordered shallots which we’ve yet to get in the ground – but I’m sure this will be the week. The grapevines (which we’ve […]
Opening Soon!
Sometimes life just puts you in the right place at the right time. For us, it was a Saturday morning. We don’t usually have the luxury of being together on Saturday morning but on this particular one we were on our way to a local farmer’s market. We parked in the wrong place. We took […]
Fall Update
The first day of fall is here and we have been loving picking apples from our own little orchard. The kitchen smells of cinnamon and freshly made pie crust for tiny hand pies we will put into lunchboxes for a special first day of fall treat. Did I mention I live with an amazing pie […]
Smoked Salmon at Home
If you are like us, then there is sometimes nothing better for breakfast than a bagel and smoked salmon. Smoked salmon at the store always seems high priced for a small packet and so this becomes a once-in-a-while indulgence. So do we go through life munching down on a plain bagel and some cream […]
