When life moves one of us to an island, what do we do? After crying in our soup we make lemonade and perhaps there’s a few additives included…of the “fermented sort”. We also blog….yep, we’ve become blog-hers. We miss styling interiors together and working on remodels, (we just plain miss each other) so this felt like a natural way to stay connected and be creative…and here we are several months later…still finding our place in the ‘Lifestyle’ blog-world. We want to thank you for standing by us. We love bringing you music, ideas, poetry, quotes, photos….some unique and some reblogged, all to tell a story and hopefully weave a bit of whimsy and creative respite into your beautifully, busy worlds.

Friends stand by you. photographed by Jamie (Feather & Nest) E and the awesome Buick kids.
Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me?

Our friendship flourished here…in this very room. photograph by Kristen (Feather & Nest)
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often – just to save it from drying out completely.~Pam Brown
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
~Lyrics by Ben E. King

Aloha…Good Friends, talking story:)
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
~lyrics by Ben E. King
