New Passions

by Siobhan
Gift & Stationery / March 02, 2011

It's not quite the first day of Spring yet, but I'm tired of grey winter weather (and what's this about hurricanes predicted for BC today?!). I am ready for Springtime.

Spring is all about reawakening from our winter slumber, shaking off our grey-sky blues and reigniting our passions. So I was quite pleased to see that Moleskine has created a whole line of videos to showcase their new Passions Journals. Moleskine has added several new topics to their popular set of Passions Journals this season: Style, Travel, Gardening, Dog, Cat, and Baby.

Here are some videos that I hope will get you all fired up about your passion, whatever it may be.

From Seed to Skillet

by Dan
Food & Drink + Home & Garden / September 20, 2010

Seed to Skillet Cover

Urban farmer and landscape designer Jimmy Williams oversees his growing grounds, plants edible gardens for clients, and dispenses cultivation and cooking tips, plus vegetable, herb, and fruit seedlings, at 3 farmers' markets in LA. He grows and sells heirloom tomatoes from seeds that have been passed down from his great-great-grandmother, a South Carolina native from a traditional Gullah community whose members were descendants of Caribbean slaves.
 
In his new book From Seed to Skillet, written with co-author Susan Heeger, Jimmy pays homage to his family history in an inspiring step-by-step manual for designing and planting a backyard vegetable garden and growing your own food. Home gardeners can learn how easy it is to plan a garden, design and construct growing beds, tend the crop without using harmful chemicals, harvest gorgeous vegetables, and cook a delicious feast using Jimmy's favorite family recipes!
 
 
From Seed to Skillet is available in November.
