Hi! I’m Suzanne. For the past 20 years I’ve lived with my family in a 1930s house called The Willows.

Through home, garden and gathering, I explore the small things that help us create connection and community. I don't believe a meaningful life is measured by the size of your friendship group. A handful of genuine connections can be every bit as valuable as a crowded room.
