A Letter from the Editor

Follow Us into Fall

A Case for Boredom • BOREDOM IS OFTEN VIEWED IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT, BUT WHAT IF IT HAS ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE IN OUR INDEX OF HUMAN EMOTIONS? WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CHOOSE TO EMBRACE BOREDOM IN HOPES OF THE PLACES IT MIGHT LEAD US?

Signals of the Season • Fall is a feast for the senses: the crunch of leaves underfoot, the roar of a stadium, the tartness of freshly made cider, the welcome chill on your skin, the whisper of woodsmoke. These signals invite us to look up, look out, and take it all in. Nature’s long-awaited percussion strikes up a familiar tune, one we know as soon as it starts playing: The harvest-hued days are back.

Zooming In • An up-close and personal look at how to style small scenes in your home.

All Rise • Popovers are traditionally a savory side dish. But inside their golden, crunchy exteriors is a buttery, pull-apart center that can take our palates almost anywhere. One oh-so-simple base batter is all we need to set flight, reaching new heights with each easy add-in. Next stop? Sweet and savory comforts as we dip, mop, sop, and spread.

Find Your Groove • In a world of quick skips and playlists, the record player on the shelf offers a reminder that sometimes it’s better to take the long way around.

Positively Persimmon • An unexpected fall fruit beckons us to enjoy the season in full.

Better Together • One of these things is not like the other, but the two still get along all the same.

Step Back in Time: Stay a While • COME INSIDE AND EXPLORE HOTEL 1928 IN WACO, TEXAS.

Boot Camp • Explore these fit-for-the-season shoes and discover the pairs and paths meant just for you.

A Note from Jo: The Sound of Harmony

Remember, Nature Whispers, There Is Time for It All

The Lake House • It’s hard to believe this year marks 10 years of Fixer Upper, and we’re celebrating with one of our favorite projects yet: this dreamy family home tucked away next to Lake Waco.

Mother of All Sauces • Five foundational sauces tell us the origin story of French cuisine and form the building blocks of many meals we know and love.

One for the Books • BEHIND EVERY BOOKSHOP ARE A THOUSAND STORIES--THOSE THAT LINE THE SHELVES, OF COURSE. BUT ALSO THOSE OF THE SHOP ITSELF: ITS KEEPERS AND EVERY PERSON WHO WALKS THROUGH ITS DOORS. EACH ONE, A GREAT TALE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED.

Read the Room • IN A GATHERING, SOCIAL CUES CAN SPEAK VOLUMES WHEN WE MAKE SPACE TO LISTEN IN.

A Rose Cottage Tour • A place to pause, press, and remember.

Bedrooms • When we tune in to the rhythms that bookend our days, the bedroom becomes a space we want to come home to.

Raising the Bar • Autumn may be adored for its pies, cobblers, and crisps, but we’re also partial to whipping up a batch of dessert bars. They, too, bake in a single dish, are full of layered flavor, and are highly customizable (and they don’t require a fork). Sliced to any size, bars can be a small snack or a hefty portion, so they’re great for breakfast, in school lunches, or as a contribution to a potluck. With fruits, nuts, and unexpected additions, these recipes are sure to become fall favorites—bar none.
