Summer  is  here!  (I  almost  don’t  dare  to  say  that.)  It  has  been  a  record  year  of  late  snowfall  here  in  Northern  Michigan.  But  alas,  I  do  believe  it  is  finally  officially  the  change  of  season!  How  do  I  know?  Because  my  chickens  are  

happily  pecking  the  grass,  I  am  hauling  projects  off  to  the  beach  to  paint,  my  brakes  are  getting  worn  out  from  too  many  yard  sale  stops,  and  my  gardens  are  calling  my  name.  And  we  just  installed  our  very  first  beehive.  YIKES!  But  even  more  than  that  I  am  feeling  SO  inspired  to  pair  down  our  home.  To  re-­‐

paint  and  part  with  a  few  treasures.  It  is  time  to  clear  the  cobwebs  and  freshen  up  a  bit,  both  indoors  and  out.  Everybody  deserves  the  gift  of  relaxation  but  somehow  it  becomes  a  tad  bit  more  meaningful  while  we  are  able  to  enjoy  it  

surrounded  by  the  fruits  of  our  labors.  Here’s  to  rest,  relaxation,  and  inspiration!

Dear Reader,

Warmly,

Hea!er Anderson

Homebound Magazine was created

by Post Road Vintage and began as a free quarterly e-zine. It has since expanded into a full digital and print magazine which is published six

times per year. We focus on ‘HOME”.

Inspired by yesterday, farmhouse beauty, simplicity, and the promise of tomorrow. We love to celebrate

creativity, home, and family. We believe joy can be found in the simple and small things all around us. Being outdoors, or creating a space which is uniquely your style in your home can have such an impact on one’s spirit. Happiness can mean a warm

home, a hot meal, and family and

friends all together. Happiness can

mean snuggled up with electronics turned off (unless you’re reading this digitally) ;) Happiness is finding inspiration and motivation to

actually do or try something new,

which may awake a new passion

inside. Happiness is home.

SAMPLE ARTICLE

Have you dreamt of setting a lovely table but didn’t know where to start? Images in magazines and online are very inspiring, but can also seem quite intimidating. Here is a little secret, the pictures shown almost always have the ‘real life’ stuff edited out! How do I know this? Because I write and shoot for this Magazine, of course!

How about this idea? Create a table for your own family which you would set for your ‘best company’. We so often forget that our families ARE our best company. Just because we are ‘everyday’ to each other, doesn’t mean that we’re not special.

Courtney from The French Country Cottage shows us how to set a very elegant table, easily and on the cheap.

If you’ve been following on this journey along with me, you know that the Post Road Vintage business has slowly been

changing. What started out as strictly product based, has evolved into publishing this Homebound Magazine. Recently

I have also added classes as a fun way to grow, connect, and get inspired!

I am so grateful for my blog and social media to connect with all of you. But at the same time, I have been yearning for

more personal connections and a chance to meet more of you in person! This past winter I held wood shop and painting classes out of my home with a small group of

creative women. It was so exciting to play a small part in helping them find their style, learn new techniques, and most

of all have fun and create memories! I am feeling very called right now to share my favorite techniques and create with you. This is why I am SO EXCITED to announce these opportunities to connect through classes and workshops.

There are limited spaces available so please reserve your seat ASAP if you’re interested!

I can’t wait to work with you! (See details at right.)

S ’s BSTORY, PHOTOS, AND RECIPES BY HEATHER ANDERSON

Very  few  things  say  ‘summer’  more  than  fresh  berries,  ripe  for  the  picking.

Here  in  Northern  Michigan  we  are  blessed  to  live  near  an  abundance  of  wild  strawberries,  blueberries,  raspberries,  thimbleberries,  and...  (I’m  sure  I’ve  missed  a  few.)

For  the  less  adventurous,  berries  can  be  found  plentifully  at  road  side  stands  and  markets.

Usually  we  gobble  them  up  as  fast  as  we  can  pick  them.  Occasionally  they  get  made  into  something  special,  and  even  more  rarely,  make  it  to  the  freezer  to  be  stored  for  winter.

Here  are  a  few  of  our  favorite  summertime  treats  with  fresh  berries.  

(These  all  can  be  made  with  frozen  berries  too...  perfect  for  getting  through  a  long  winter.)

S R E M Ingredients

1  pound  strawberries,  hulled  and  quartered1  large  stalk  of  rhubarb,  ends  trimmed,  halved  lengthwise,  and  chopped2  tablespoons  sugar½  teaspoon  lemon  juice4  egg  whites,  at  room  temperature½  teaspoon  cream  of  tartar1/8  teaspoon  salt¾  cup  superfine  sugar  (if  superfine  is  unavailable,  blend  regular  sugar  in  a  small  blender)3  teaspoons  cornstarch,  siAed1  cup  heavy  cream

Preheat  oven  to  425  degrees  F.

In  an  8  x  8-­‐inch  baking  dish,  combine  the  strawberries,  rhubarb,  and  sugar.  Roast  for  10-­‐12  minutes  and  remove  from  oven.  Decrease  temperature  to  225  degrees  F.

Remove  1  cup  of  fruit  and  set  aside.  Place  the  rest  in  the  blender  with  the  lemon  juice  and  puree  until  smooth.

Line  a  baking  sheet  with  a  baking  mat  or  parchment  paper.

Whip  the  egg  whites  in  the  bowl  of  a  stand  mixer  on  medium  speed  until  foamy.  Add  the  cream  of  tartar  and  salt,  increase  speed  to  high  and  whip  until  soft  peaks  begin  to  form.

Combine  the  sugar  and  cornstarch  in  a  small  bowl.  Add  to  the  eggs  one  tablespoon  at  a  time  while  the  mixer  is  running.  The  meringue  is  finished  when  it  forms  a  stiff  peak  as  the  whisk  is  lifted  from  the  bowl.

Make  six  mounds  of  meringue  on  the  baking  pan  and  spread  slightly  with  a  spoon  so  they  are  uniform  in  thickness.

Bake  for  1  hour  and  allow  to  cool  for  at  least  15  minutes.

Whip  the  heavy  cream  with  a  stand  mixer  on  medium  high  speed  until  it  forms  soft  peaks.

Spoon  the  whipped  cream  over  the  meringue  and  top  with  berries  and  puree  or  break  the  meringue  into  pieces  and  layer  with  the  fruit  and  puree  in  a  glass.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY HEATHER ANDERSON

O Ss p.50

Try  bringing  a  project  outdoors  to  work  on  for  added  inspiration  and  to  clear  the  cobwebs.  I  painted  this  chair  on  the  shores  of  Lake  Superior,  at  my  Mom  and  Dad’s  home.  It  was  really  worth  the  extra  effort.  If  you  can  do  it  in  the  morning  or  evening  before  it  gets  too  hot  or  uncomfortable  that  is  a  plus.

Here  is  one  time  where  you  don’t  need  to  feel  rushed  to  ‘accomplish’  and  finish.  But  rather,  the  experience  itself  is  so  enjoyable  that  finishing  is  almost  a  bummer.  Bring  a  friend  to  work  on  something  with  you.  Or  just  enjoy  the  peace  and  quiet,  the  waves  lapping  at  the  shore,  the  birds  chirping,  and  the  sun  on  your  back.
