Kinfolk Magazine, issue one
Friday, July 15, 2011 at 3:26PM 
Hello there friends!
Tara and Nikole here, with so much goodness to tell. You might remember we’d mentioned Kinfolk Magazine a while back, and we’re mighty excited that today we can finally, finally give you a look.
The magazine is all about the magic of the small gathering; the coming together of those we cherish the most in celebrations big and little, or in the passing of simple hours in their company, and the everyday moments that charm. It was an idea close to our hearts and right up our alley, and we were thrilled at the opportunity to be a part of it.
In an added bonus, it gave us the perfect excuse for a collaboration we’ve long wanted to do. We wrote a story about two friends getting together for breakfast or lunch on a weekday, eaten outside. We sat on the steps in the sun and laughed over cookies and bubbles, messy sandwiches and berries, and it was all pretty grand. We hope you like it, we’re happy to share it with you.
Nathan brought together a stellar group for the project. The magazine is both a print and online endeavour; while the paper edition’s already sold out (!!) fingers are crossed for a second run, and here’s to enjoying the beauty of its pages on their site.
So thanks to everyone for their hard work, we’re beaming to be a part of such a community. Here’s to days like these and the many issues to come.
Kinfolk Magazine, issue one. Hip, hip.

Amazing!! I love the photos.
You have a lovely blog, and that magazine is just beautiful! I smiled when I saw the spread about the swedish fika. We do love a cinnamon roll and some coffe with friends :)
hey tara, just had to write a wee note to thank you for your marvelous contribution to kinfolk, and for what is possibly the most toothsome looking sandwich ever captured on camera. YUM. so delighted to connect with all these amazing and talented people through nathan's genius (and quite humbled to be a part of it!). well done, you.
What a beautiful magazine! Especially the photography. I want it to be my life.
Wow, stunning! truly! can't wait to see the magazine!
How exciting & beautiful. I flipped through the online version and it's gorgeous. Well done!
Loved your contribution to Kinfolk- the food and thoughts were just beautiful.
Very exciting! I am off to read to now--congrats Tara!
I discovered your blog through Kinfolk, which I discovered through another blog....oh how you can wander around the internet. I am absolutely head over heals over the magazine. I flipped through once, soaking in the gentle tones and highlights of the photos and then I flipped through again to read all the articles, all wonderful. I recently moved to Zürich and have been thinking a lot about starting to host some small gatherings of new friends, whether for brunch or for a picnic dinner in the park. Thanks for the inspiration. I love your blog, so happy kinfolk led me to it.
These photos are so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!
The magazine looks very professional, and this lil bit that i read sounds interesting, and i really enjoyed. The idea is great, cause there is no many magazine in my country that i love to read. I can't say that they offer quality, but this one does. I'll keep reading it, and i'm so glad cause it's about food, in which i enjoy every moment of my life. And btw, this sandwiches on the pic looks so tasty! :)
I love the picnic basket set and the sandwich! are these taken in natural light?
I came across to your blog by accident and absolutely loved it! I am going to add it to my favorites. The magazine looks stunning. Beautiful photography and well written articles.Congratulations!
But, BUT...the recipe for that sandwich!! Please, please, please.
Hola, hermosas fotos !!!!
