On Sun., Nov. 24, West Elm in Philadelphia was host to one of the many small Kinfolk gatherings across the globe. Kinfolk is a beautifully designed, written and photographed quarterly print magazine based on the idea of “creating small gatherings and finding new things to make and do.”

Among many of their other endeavors, Kinfolk recently began curating a monthly series of shared themed dinners and workshops around the world. Lucky for us, Philadelphia was one of the selected cities.

Together with a small group of about 20 participants, the darling couple from Hello Home Shoppe taught us the art of herbal infusion. It was a fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning sharing food, drinks, stories and creating teas, oils and bath salts from the simplest ingredients. A perfect start to the holiday season.
