Enjoying the Sunset


Sometimes I feel like a girl without a country -- or a state, I should say. It's particularly evident when issues of Southern Living, New York Magazine and Sunset arrive in my mailbox simultaneously.

Sunset is a magazine I fell hard for while living in Seattle. It's all about beautiful living in the western U.S. and despite the fact that I've returned to my home coast (the eastern one), I can still appreciate the decor, gardens, getaways and recipes available to those on the other side of the country.

Sunset's countdown to spring made me particularly giddy, and now I'm daydreaming about hiking amidst wildflowers, indulging in seasonal desserts, painting with a bright color and making a fresh-from-the-garden salad in my home away from home away from home.

    That Strawberry Crostada just made me weep... I feel exactly the same way, Autumn and Spring are my favorite times of year. The produce is so specific and everything is so plentiful. Love this

    I have to check out Sunset -- I have a feeling I'm going to fall in love the instant I set eyes on the pages. Isn't it strange to be torn between so many different parts of the country? I just need to travel more.

    I've had the pleasure of shooting for Sunset magazine. Love it. It really is one of the most inspiring all around mags out there.
    I think you have the best of both - a little west and a little east!
