Cherish the Now

Homespun ATL - Plywood People This past Friday we had an amazing time with our new friends at Plywood People. The night was simple, allowing us to present our talents, care and creativity in an environment to celebrate this past year.

We are grateful that we are able to provide enduring moments. It is special when people simply gather over a meal around the table and share their hearts. It challenges us to continue to create. It is in these times when we pause and break bread with friends and family that we cherish them even more.

We love this quote by Lindsey Shere,

"Food should be enjoyable, and bring people together somehow. If people ate together everyday things would be different. And if people ate and cooked together, things would be very different!"

It is different because there is something sacred going on, and we feel it in our hearts. We all know the value in communing but sometimes we all forget to break and engage with the people in our daily lives. In this busy season, we encourage you to share a meal with others. Share life and love. Cheers to you and yours!

Be Well,

Jason and Jamie

 

November Gathering - Harvest Dinner

Last month we were blessed with a memorable night full of laughter, thanksgiving, and of course, a seasonal meal. You may have already seen the amazing Homespun ATL video captured by Los Filmmakers, if not check it out. They documented the process of preparing for the evening.

We gathered with a new group of friends and strangers to share a harvest meal at the industrial studio of Matchstic in Grant Park.  Jason served up course after course of "autumn delight", the arrangements of Juli Vaughn lit up the room, Mao's inspiring freehand chalk art inspired the guests... there is something to be said (and experienced) when we get to create from the overflow of our heart...it's raw, organic and imperfect, yet beautiful. Here's a look at the evening through the eye of Whitney Huynh. We hope to see you at the table soon!

NOVEMBER GATHERING FILM

Last month we hosted a Harvest Dinner at Matchstic Branding. We gathered around the table to share life, and it's blessings over a wholesome meal.

We had the guys of Los Filmmakers film a behind-the-scenes look at the evening. You can see their eye for detail...and we love how they captured the table through a time-lapse. They are truly talented in their craft. Juan + Christian: thank you for delivering such quality!

Homespun ATL is not just an opportunity to dine but rather to break bread and share life. Come and be inspired. The next gathering is Sunday, December 9.

SIMPLE GATHERING

Suwanee Farmers Market Homespun is a "Simple Gathering" that brings people together over a local inspired, wholesome menu.  Homespun visits local markets that determine our dishes. We believe this invites guests to support our local community of artisans and  farmers.

We enjoy being able to share our passion and creativity with others, and makes a “Simple Gathering" so much more than well, simple. In fact, we aspire to create an environment that will act as the canvas for the true meaning behind our dinners-to share life and break bread.
