now THAT's what i'm talkin' about...

entertaining is truly an art form. 

entertaining can be for your indulgence only or for a few of your favorite people, but the elements are always the same...it takes thought, inspiration, time, preparation and creativity to pull off a wondrous event. 

it's hard to capture the essence and energy of the togetherness that entertaining brings,but when done well, you feel whole. you feel connected to people. your soul smiles. relationships are strengthened and you cherish each moment, not wanting your time together to end. 

there's a new online collaboration that has captured, and beautifully brought to life, all aspects of the joy of entertaining. 

from the photos, to the recipes, to it's easy relaxed vibe, the thoreau & winnie the pooh quotes, to the music rec's, kinfolk has created a masterpiece. 

may it spark a small gathering in your home soon... i know it has in mine.

from their manifesto...
" Kinfolk is a growing community of artists with a shared interest in small gatherings. We recognize that there is something about a table shared by friends, not just a wedding or once-a-year holiday extravaganza, that anchors our relationships and energizes us. We have come together to create Kinfolk as our collaborative way of advocating the natural approach to entertaining that we love.

Every element of Kinfolk – the features, photography, and general aesthetics – are consistent with the way we feel entertaining should be: simple, uncomplicated, and less contrived. Kinfolk is the marriage of our appreciation for art and design and our love for spending time with family and friends.
