Refresh Sunday. I took a bit of time yesterday to launder all our blankets, quilts & afghans. The ones that have been so lovingly comforting us during our long nights these past two weeks. At the moment, 3 out 5 people in my house are sleeping in the living room. It’s easier for me to look over and care for them when we’re all together in close proximity. I’m praying that this week will bring more rest for us. I’m praying that peaceful nights will soon come our way. It’s been conflicting to be made to put on the brakes when the season of growth and abundance has just begun. Garden beds sit empty, the lawn grows tall and the bicycles that normally circle our house remain still. Things are different. Things are hard. Trying to answer questions of “why”. Trusting. Praying. Patiently waiting for this difficult illness to pass. 🙏🏻❤️☀️🌱🚲

Week #✌🏻 that my mixers and ovens stand quiet. Nisu Friday is once again canceled. 😔
A respiratory illness has set up shop in my boys and I and it doesn’t want to leave. My family is robust, so this too shall pass. But, it’s not a fast mover. I’m doing my best to use this time wisely, if the exhaustion of not sleeping doesn’t take me out first! 🤪
Don’t forget me! 🥺

Bakery closed. There will be no bread deliveries this Friday. 😔 I much rather be baking than sick. We had illness run rampant through our home last week. I thought I was in the clear, but it has unfortunately caught up with me and the boys have relapsed. Praying we get over this soon! 🙏🏻❤️🥺

Here’s the after! The room was FULL of genuine joy and appreciation. It was hard to miss. Memories and history were made in the way of connection and conversation, stories, authentic Finnish food, traditional music and dance. My biggest memory was having a conversation with a sweet woman, who attends regularly and is from a Finland. Her description of the coffee tables is that it is like a “hug”, much like the embrace her and I have started to give one another each time we reunite. The gift of deep connection to one’s heritage is powerful. Whether you’re full Finn or partial or none at all, feeling a part of a collective community helps in grounding one’s identity and providing a deep sense of belonging. It anchors people together in that moment and beyond. It is my goal to provide the community a safe space where people can do such things. Thank you to EVERYONE who attended. It was wonderful to be in Peterborough! We will definitely be back! 🇫🇮❤️☕️

We’ll be gathering again on August 22nd at the Maja Hall in Ashby, Ma. Hope you can make it! 🫶🏻

Here’s the before! Before we create a place that will welcome dozens of people who will gather together. Before the memories that will be made as we share cups of coffee and delicious baked confections. Before history is made and traditions are passed down. Before music and laughter fill the room. I can’t wait to share the after!
We hope to see you tomorrow at the Union Congregational Church - Peterborough, NH from 2:30-4:30. It is going to be our lucky number 13th community coffee table. 🇫🇮☕️❤️

It has truly been a wonderful 5 years! What a privilege it was to work with Michelle & Andy. They are people who simply make life better because they’re in it. If you ever walked into their store, you know what I mean. I’ll be FOREVER grateful for the opportunity they gave me when they invited me to become one of their vendors. I still have that email and remember very clearly how dumbfounded I felt. The boys and I will miss seeing your face, Michelle! Be well you two. Congratulations on your new adventure! After 24 years of serving the community, you deserve it. 🥹💔🫶🏻
Stay tuned for what’s next at 🙂

Nisu Friday deliveries are complete! Pick up your favorite loaf at & . ❤️

Happy Winter Solstice! ☀️ Remember my snow lantern I made last Thursday? I lit it that same night and it was just magical. It doesn’t matter how many of them I make, I never tire of their beauty. I had hoped it would last until today but we had an unfortunate rain storm. But that sun set over Laurel Lake? I’ll take that any day. The water & sky both celebrated gloriously. ☀️
