Creating Luxury in Everyday Life
Mrs. West Approved
Come early Saturday morning, most are still fast asleep and enjoying an extended weekend snooze. But not me. It’s time for competitive flower shopping. (A tongue-in-cheek nickname, I assure you, as I avoid any stressful encounters.) I am heading to our local farmers market to check out the season’s blooms before they get picked over—or worse, sold out. The earlier you arrive, the better the blossom selection.
Rise & Brine
A day in the life of chasing sunsets with Phippsburg’s Lady Oyster

“Rise and brine,” as my oyster friends say.
And just like those who flip, bag, tag, and ship, I’m up before the sun. My husband, Warwick, and I harness the dogs and stroll to the park as a heavy mist hovers over the Kennebec. I open my phone to check the forecast.
