I Fell in Love in Colorado
By on May 31, 2010 16 Comments
Sixteen years ago, I married a boy. He was only 19 and had long hair. He wore shorts and birkenstocks. I had hair down the middle of my back and was 9 months pregnant. We were young but, we were in love. We met in Ocean City, MD. It was a "summer romance". Two weeks before Devon was to move to Colorado with my brother, I discovered I was pregnant. I had seen people get married because of a baby and knew that the odds of it working out were slim. I had just met Devon. I wasn't in love. So, I sent him on his … [Read more...]
IRL Baltimore

IRL also known as "In Real Life", is the best! Especially when you haven't seen each other in like 6 months! Chris Ann (lives in Minneapolis) and I (Baltimore) talk multiple times a day on the phone! We text each other and even exchange "multiple personality" tweets! But, we live for the moments we have IRL time! This weekend gave us such a gift! Chris Ann arrived Wednesday night! My kids, being budding bloggers, snapped pictures as she loaded into the truck! We whisked her home! That night she kicked her … [Read more...]
Our Obsession With Chalkboards
By on May 6, 2010 26 Comments
This is the logo we created with the help of my talented, computer animator, brother! The silver frame around the chalkboard is part of our story. You see, when my husband and I owned Jahva House, this hung on the wall over the counter. The board was covered with coffee drinks and prices. It was eclectic just like our coffee shop. Our coffee station was an old secretary that we had painted green and it was full of sugars, stirrers, lids and half and half. It sat right next to the stone fire … [Read more...]
From Dryer Lint to Dreams

We were on the phone again tonight... one of us Twittering and Facebook-ing, one of us loading dishes in the dishwasher and waiting for a teenager to get off the computer. And, we are both reeling with giddiness! Why you ask? Well, one year and a half ago, two friends (and their husbands - whether they liked it or not!), set out to find an adventure! We weren't really sure where it would lead or how we would do it. In fact, we didn't always feel very - clever. One of us didn't even know how to cut and paste, yet, … [Read more...]

Lingering Before Returning

Today is the end of an era. Today, I sent my little-est flower into the world of all day kindergarten. To bloom and grow... So, for the first time in fifteen years I am going to have something I haven't had in a while - time. Now, that the kids will be back in school, we will again be able to focus on our business here at LoveFeast Table. Kristin and I discussed this in detail this past summer...during one of our high powered meetings. Of course, we will still have our hands full with chauffeuring, … [Read more...]
Where It All Started…Golden West Cafe
By on July 16, 2009 13 Comments
It was about a year ago. Chris Ann was in Baltimore for a visit. She had just come out of a dreary Minnesota winter. I planned a day of "art-inspiration-creativity-fun stops and shops"! We went to ArHaus and were quickly inspired by the vignettes and even had a great conversation with the artist/installer there. I saw Chris Ann take a deep, refreshing breath...she even smiled! We then went to Clipper Mill to scope out the artists and Woodberry Kitchen. We walked around and watched glass artists, iron artists and had … [Read more...]
