The Kinlands

People always ask what we’re doing while our shoppe is quiet. All of us are constantly updating, evolving, creating and moving. Today Luke did some office work then set out to work with the land and define the borders a bit, Shana painted the floor to the back parlor amongst other things, Ashlee handled tours for event inquries and reset the spaces, and I worked on planning and launching the June land-to-table dinner which is now live. It’s an intimate event and the waitlist has been informed so if you’ve ever wanted to attend one of our dinners, I encourage you to reserve your tickets tonight.

And on we go, quietly doing, preparing, and prepping for all the things to come.

had a vision for this freezer door, now transformed into our prop closet-a dramatic, large-scale countryside mural that turns something purely functional into a moment of beauty. Whether you catch it as a guest at an event in the Arbor House or while wandering the Shoppe, it becomes a corner filled with drama, play, and quiet delight.

I’ve always loved reworking spaces in unexpected ways-finding new life in overlooked details-so that joy isn’t just added to a space, it’s discovered within it.
