.Charlie calls her Sophie..We got her from our 82 year old neighbor known as The bunny lady who told us she raises this particular Rex breed to either be Blue ribbon winners, or if that doesnt work out – a Blue Plate Special. Charlie was going on about how soft rabbit fur is. The bunny lady told her that it’s because this breed is favored for glove liners.This is Charlies fav spot.

(Using this to post-rationalize hoarding – since we got so much coverage on the original shoot there was enough for a whole different story years later) @juliastotz

Featuring a lineup of folks who know how to have a good time. A few that helped facilitate that: @antiquetaco lunch with @5rabbitbrewery @thesovengard 5-course dinner with @angryorchard cider / breakfasts by@heritagebicycle & @rubyroasters with @themattkerney of @brassheartchicago – and a lunch with @eatminimott @eatmottst // Plus a pretty sweet throwback pack full of swag, courtesy of @landsend …..Photos : photos: @foundcoshop, @olporch, @ryanjamesburk, @goodbeerhunting, @brandon.morreale, @craft.sessions @mulvatronn @hillaryschu

..Inspiration For Planning .The way we travel has changed. We no longer want a generic, one-size-fits-all vacation. We want to explore on our own terms and immerse ourselves in local culture. Simply witnessing nature is no longer enough- we want to live in it.- excerpt from the new book: HIDEOUTS. Grand vacations in Tiny GetawaysFun to see a little piece of camp show up in this book (even though the only friends we let sleep in their are fur-covered, nocturnal and poop in the woods). .pg 3 @bobcoscarelli

“SEEKING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR BARTER (The invitation we put out into the universe a couple months ago). So surprised and overwhelmed to have received so many (hundreds) of offers to trade cabin stays for their photo perspective .We are on a mission to host one photographer a month for a year. Last month, we have featured the work of the first: (@bennett_young ) .and excited to share our 2nd in ‘the barter series’ by: @Luk.e. Luke first emailed us a few years ago when he was just a teenager, he didnt have a car but wanted to come visit and offered to take pictures. when he saw the new barter post, he reached back out with the most heartfelt letter, even offering to stay in his car if all rooms where booked. He talked about what inspired him and how much it would personally mean to him (his letter was the best soul medicine- I only got halfway through and decided that where would have this young man as a guest in our home if it meant giving him our own room)He was traveling across country with his friend, and by the time he got my response, they had already passed through Wisconsin, but turned around and back-tracked a 6 hour drive to come stay.We are honored to have hosted you, Luke- and grateful to be a page in the photo diary of this epic journey you are on. thank you for reaching out back then- coming back years later. Your photos are timely & timeless. Your generosity of spirit and love of life are infectious.

Somebody told us once that ‘if you surround yourself at home with only things that you love… it will feed you creatively”. … trying to take this advice while Fighting hoarding instincts to collect *everything* right now (gonna spend the weeding the house so we can find a place to be creative again)tb- when our girl crush @thayerandco stopped by the house to do home tour for @anthologymag .
