Do you remember Susan Branch's books? Her stuff reminds me a little of that, but much better and more up my alley. I love it.

Yes! They're lovely! Kind of like the sweeter, softer side of Mary Engelbreit.

Kristin's style reminds me of Tasha Tudor's. Or Beatrix Potter's?

Yes! A great mix of both.

I find myself rereading this several times a day when despair threatens to swamp me:

" If you’re only scrolling Stories or the Times or getting ready to post, you’re missing the chance to weep, to mourn, to hope, to be a human being.

And to assert one’s love and grief and hope in times of great inhumanity is perhaps the greatest rebellion, the only rebellion, we can offer against such awful hate."

Psalm 7:9. What a great verse for this day. This week. This month. This life.
