My Favorite Things: The Turquoise Table Collection

Come to the Table It feels like Christmas in July. I can’t believe The Turquoise Table Collection from Tuesday Morning is finally in stores. Every piece has special meaning. Each item in the Collection was carefully chosen with one purpose in mind – to help you live as Front Yard People. Four years ago, I put the Turquoise Table in my…

Picnic Lunch #TurquoiseTuesday

Peachy Neighbors I can always tell when my neighbor Doris is home because she leaves her white-paneled front door open. A thin, glass storm door keeps the bugs out and the cool air in. Recently, I noticed things were pretty quiet around Doris’ house. Her closed front door was the telltale sign. One morning, I wandered over to check on…

Dishing After Dinner #TurquoiseTuesday

Spontaneous Moments Life at the Turquoise Table is a multitude of tiny moments, mini-miracles really, strung together like radiant beams of light over the places we call home.

About Last Night. . .

As you might have heard, our book The Turquoise Table made its way into the world yesterday. As with childbirth, there is really no way to fully plan or prepare. On one hand, the day was uneventful — errands to the post office and pharmacy, shuttling kiddos in the mini van (taking chances with the empty fuel light), making sandwiches with…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!

What a special way to offer hospitality during Covid. I feel sooooo loved and my family will go nuts! 

Now I’m thinking of what I miss making for guests that I can whip up and deliver this weekend. 🚐💌
