Harvest Box

sweet potato & kale





















A few months back I discovered the wonders of the harvest box, a weekly offering of fresh, organic, locally-grown produce.

How can food this beautiful fail to inspire all sorts of yummy creations? 
mandarin oranges




















I love the way the selection changes with the seasons & introduces me to new flavors & textures too. Suddenly I’m craving once foreign veggies like jicama & kabocha squash.
kale & avacado
I get my harvest boxes from Rutiz Farms. Shopping at their outdoor stand feels way better than visiting a supermarket. They even post recipes in their newsletter, which is how I know that balsamic roasted kabocha squash is awesome!

Look at all the goodies I found in my box last week!

Fall at the Shack

It's fall on California's central coast, my favorite time of year here. The days are warm & sunny, & the nights are blissfully cool. The light is crisp & clear, & the shadows are strong. Visitors have left for the winter leaving wide expanses of sand free for locals to roam. Local harvests are plentiful, & artists open their studios for visitors.

As we settle in for the cooler days to come, Shimmering Shack is featuring art & photos that bring the outdoors in & a selection of bracelets & rings in rich warm tones to help you celebrate the season in style.

Visit Shimmering Shack's Shop for a leisurely browse through a variety of handmade goods designed to keep you & your home feeling cozy & warm.

 




















With the holidays just around the corner, the Shack's added gift certificates & a gift wrap option to make shopping for a unique hand-made gift easier.
Wishing you the best of the season. No matter where you are. From my little corner of the planet to yours.
