central grocery
central grocery is in the french quarter of new orleans. it is an old italian grocery and it's the creator of the muffuletta sandwhich.
we ordered up some muffuletta sammies......crossed the street....and sat along the pier and watched the barges go by.

a book for you
ten years ago, rinne and rebecca had a daydream: to create a book with 365 photographs, one for each day of the year. after many years of thinking and photographing and thinking some more, we are happy to announce that the daydream is now a reality.
thanks in large part to the addition of kristen and the creation of this space, beauty everyday, the three of us were able to gather the imagery that we needed and truly envision the book we wanted to create.
it is with much happiness that we announce that will release our first book, Beauty Everyday, on august 15 of this year.
featuring 365 photographs made by all three of us, in and around athens, georgia, the book has 420 pages of southern beauty: flora, patina, the landscape...the environs that we call home. The deep blue custom-dyed bookcloth cover is the perfect backdrop for rebecca's gilded illustrations. Inside; an index is included with locations or details of each image; and a small bit of text explains our simple process.
the book is intended to be an inspiration, a refuge, a reference.
turn the page each day to reveal something beautiful to look at; take in a whole season at once and revel in the transformations that take place; or just turn to pages at random and look to the index to see where the photograph was made.
a page marker ribbon is included, so that you may mark your place and follow along each day.
we will begin pre-selling the book on this website soon, and, in addition, the book will be available through some of our favorite shops and friends. further details will be announced soon!
Thank you, readers!
- rebecca, rinne, & kristen

jackson street antiques
while visiting new orleans we stopped into jackson street antiques. we enjoyed letting our eyes wander through all of the layers. I can imagine some of the lovely old new orleans homes filled with these old treasures.

parkway was full of charm and old paraphernalia from it's decade of existence.
the food? a good ole po' boy if you ask me.photos and words by kristen bach

Simon's Signs
Our friend liz works at this sign shop just off of magazine street in NOLA. the other day we stopped by for a visit. it reminded me so much of how rwood studio is run and feels.
simon's signs has been around for quite a while. He is originally from from france and started this little studio and shop alongside his wife's antique shop. it is one of those gems that we were excited to see.
