OH HELLO When life feels disappointing and tiring and hard, I need only to tap into the kind of resolve I had as a girl. Eager to grow, to learn, to explore.

I

t was the year 2000. We managed to survive the Y2K crisis, and I had my sights set on more important matters: high school, boys, and student government elections. In a painstakingly procured first-day-of-school outfit, I stepped onto campus on a warm August day with the feeling of limitless potential. The sort of possibility only a wide-eyed 13-year-old can really know. I eagerly familiarized myself with the halls, the people…the ice cream vending machine. This high school was my oyster. After which I would graduate college, land a sparkling career and meet a loving husband with whom to live happily ever after. Now, on the eve of my tenth high school reunion, I have those things I once dreamed of. I graduated magna cum laude, married my college sweetheart, and I balance motherhood with a career I enjoy. Still, with all of the experiences time has brought, I envy that naive freshman. Each autumn as

the neighborhood kids return to school, I am reminded of that 13-year-old girl. She won student council VP, anchored the school newscast, and built houses for the underprivileged in Mexico. I need to be reminded of that kind of enthusiasm and idealism, because somewhere along the way cynicism creeps in. The mortgage, an earlyrising toddler, or people whose livelihoods rely on you replace naïveté with fatigue. They call it the best four years of your life. And at graduation, I think I believed that. But maybe that’s only true if we leave them in the past. Perhaps they are better, like all life experiences, learned from, taken with us, allowed to mold our future selves. When life feels disappointing and tiring and hard, I need only to tap into the kind of resolve I had as a girl. Eager to grow, to learn, to explore. Because if she could do anything she put her mind to, then surely so can I.

DIY FALL PORCH PHOTOGRAPHY BY RACHEL SOLOMON

Interior designer, Emily Yeates lives in a 968-square-foot historic home in central Phoenix. The small square footage makes it easy to go big on design - her front porch, included! This Halloween, she decided on a purple and green color scheme with orange accents. Emily even painted her door to match and plans to paint it back after the season. Rather than source new throw pillows, Emily adhered bats and skulls to her existing cushions for a look that is both cute and creepy. Don’t forget to try out the DIY wreath on page 18!

COSTUME DUOS PHOTOGRAPHY BY BREANNE JOHNSON

We love a pumpkin costume as much as the next mama, but to mix it up, we drew inspiration from a few of our favorite pop culture duos. Easily homemade and undeniably original, these toddler costume duos will be the talk of any Halloween party. Orange is the New Black An inmate duo is far more endearing when played by toddlers. Headed to more than one costume party? This tongue and cheek costume can double as doctor scrubs; just add a stethoscope! Wayne’s World Along with “trick or treat,” teach your tots to say, “party time, excellent!” and they might bag an extra treat or two to share with mom and dad. Fantastic Mr. Fox Head to www.emmamag.com/diy-kids-halloween-masks to download a free printable fox mask template and assemble out of felt. We carved an apple out of a wine cork to use as the apple stamp for Mrs. Fox’s signature dress. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey as Clementine and Joel definitely win most hipster of the pop-culture duos. Trick-or-treating in Brooklyn? This is your ticket.

PUMPKIN PARTY PHOTOGRAPHY BY MELISSA JILL STYLED BY PETITE PARTY STUDIO

The pumpkin carving tradition gets a little tricky when there are tiny tots to consider. Held at the DenMar estate in Mesa, Arizona, Veteran mamas and owners of Petite Party Studio show a way to navigate this pumpkin predicament that’s both knife and mess-free. Activity Spray paint pumpkins with chalkboard paint and allow plenty of time to dry. Set out colored chalk, and little ones can decorate pumpkins to their heart’s content. Decor Hang a printable “Happy Halloween” banner with twine in front of a dessert table or on the front porch. (Download available from Petite Party Studio on Etsy.) A bold print gallery wall comprises the backdrop, and the black and white theme pops up throughout the party, from soda wrappers and straws to plates and invitations. Menu Cake pops by Inspired Sugar are displayed in a foam pumpkin atop a cake pedestal. Don’t forget to whip up a batch of homemade apple dip (page 32)! Favors Along with their decorated pumpkins, paper trays loaded with caramel bags and apples make a DIY favor for kiddos to take home.

THANKSGIVING FIESTA PHOTOGRAPHY BY STANCY HIGLEY STYLED BY LAUREN KELP

Not everyone loves the tastes of traditional Thanksgiving fare. To please a pickier palate, we infused this holiday meal with spicy south of the border flavors. Held inside the north Phoenix Whitfill Nursery, Posies Floral florist, Jami Pitts drew inspiration from Mexico’s vivid color palette to brighten the table. From cilantro lime roasted green beans to habanero corn bread stuffing, get creative with your menu. After all, Thanksgiving celebrates a melting pot of cultures. Don’t get so carried away with your meal preparation that you forget celebratory sips! Is there a better way to begin any holiday than with bubbly? Start off by popping a bottle of Pierre Paillard Grand Cru Brut. This grower’s champagne is a splurge, but worth it. Follow it up with a light dry sparkling wine like Val de Mer Non Dosage Brut. Our third pairing, the Leitz Out Riesling, lives up to it’s name and makes a fun conversation piece on the table. Finish off with a bottle of Tres Picos Garnacha to round out the meal and play off the spice in the menu. Cheers!

Cilantro Lime Roasted Green Beans INGREDIENTS 1.5 pounds haricots verts (French green beans) 2 Tablespoons olive oil 5 whole garlic cloves, smashed kosher salt and cracked pepper grated zest and juice of 1 lime 1/8 cup red onion, diced 1/8 cup cilantro, finely chopped cotija cheese for sprinkling (optional)

PREPARE Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Trim the ends of the haricots verts and toss with the olive oil, garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Spread out evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until lightly caramelized and crisp tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately toss with onion, lime zest and juice. Toss with cilantro and cheese (if using) just before serving.




Mexican Crema Twice Baked Potatoes INGREDIENTS 6 russet potatoes olive oil 1/3 cup cooked bacon crumbles 3/4 cup Mexican crema 2/3 cup half and half 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1 bunch scallions, finely chopped kosher salt and cracked pepper

PREPARE Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes and pat dry. Coat them evenly with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake 1 hour or until skins are crisp and potato is fork tender. Allow to cool slightly before handling. Halve potatoes lengthwise. Scoop out flesh into a bowl, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of flesh lining in each potato skin. Place hallowed out skins on baking sheet and bake 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine mashed potato flesh with bacon, Mexican crema, half and half, butter, and most of the scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Fill each skin with potato mixture and return to baking sheet. Bake 3-5 more minutes, then garnish with remaining scallions and serve.


Habanero Corn Bread Stuffing INGREDIENTS

PREPARE

1 loaf corn bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

1/2 loaf french bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook 5 minutes. Add the habaneros and cook 3 more minutes or until celery and onion look transparent. Add bread cubes, mixing well. Add the stock, salt, and pepper to taste.

2 habaneros, finely chopped 1/2 cup butter, plus more for greasing baking dish 2 cups celery, chopped 1 large onion, chopped 7 cups chicken stock 5 eggs, beaten kosher salt and cracked pepper 1/8 cup dried cranberries chopped parsley for garnish

In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add to bread mixture. Mix well. Pour bread mixture into baking dish. Sprinkle with dried cranberries. Bake 45 minutes or until cooked through. Garnish with parsley and serve.




Cajeta Apple Crumble INGREDIENTS for the filling: 4 large granny smith apples 1/4 cup sugar 1 lemon, juiced 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cups rolled oats 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch fine salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut in pieces for the cajeta: 4 cups goat’s milk 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

PREPARE For the cajeta, whisk together goat’s milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and baking soda in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to low and allow to simmer for about 90 minutes while you begin the crumble. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4-inch slices. Toss apple slices with sugar, lemon juice, flour, and cinnamon. Spread evenly in a lightly greased baking dish. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, gently work cold butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized lumps are formed. Do not overmix. Top apples evenly with mixture and bake until apples begin to bubble, about 50 minutes. Meanwhile, you will know your cajeta is finished when it reduces, thickens, and reaches a caramel brown color. Remove from heat and let cool. It will thicken as it cools. Remove apple crumble from oven. Drizzle with warm or room temperature cajeta syrup and serve.



ENTERTAINING


SET THE TABLE PHOTOGRAPHY BY RACHEL SOLOMON

A little thought goes a long way to making guests feel special, and in our opinion, half the fun of hosting a dinner party is designing the table. With that in mind, we pulled together four looks that are as simple as they are striking. Indigo Blue The indigo dye craze has taken the fashion world by storm and like so many sartorial trends, it’s finding its way into the world of textiles as well. Follow the indigo DIY (page 58) and turn ordinary hankies and scrap fabric into stunning patterned napkins and place mats. Pull together with a patterned plate in the same color scheme. Kraft Paper Simplicity at its finest. Kraft paper allows for easy clean-up and makes a built-in drawing pad for little tykes. Place a recipe card at each place setting for guests to take down notes about their favorite dishes. Country Kitchen A tan circular mat gives a natural base to this tailored country kitchen feel. A striped dish towel tied with twine acts as an inexpensive napkin and balances the texture of the woven place mat. Rustic Plaid A crisp white plate counteracts the raw edges of the plaid napkin and wooden bark charger for this rustic place setting. The bright red and navy fabric is pulled together with a kraft paper napkin ring.

A SHELF 3 WAYS PHOTOGRAPHY BY RACHEL SOLOMON

Styling a shelf may seem daunting, but with these tricks of the trade, you’ll be rearranging those book cases in no time. We took the same leaning wall shelf and styled it for the bathroom, living room, and kitchen. Here are a few things to consider when tackling your own set of shelves: No. 1 Find balance from shelf to shelf. If one shelf seems busy, go light on the next shelf. Seek balance both in weight and color. If one shelf has a lot of color and others don’t, it will stick out like a sore thumb. No. 2 Remember the rule of threes. When in doubt, aim for three vignettes on a shelf. For instance, on our kitchen shelves, we placed a stack of cookbooks, a vintage colander holding fruit, and kitchen canisters. Just be sure to vary the height and textures for a look that’s polished. No. 3 Style the shelf with items you actually use. Pitch decorative knickknacks with no real purpose and replace with items you truly work with, especially if those items have great packaging. No. 4 Whenever possible, add greenery. Plants bring life to any space, including your shelves. Plus, they give an organic loose silhouette, balancing all of those straight lines.

Olive Bag Pick up fancy olives and package them in a waxed canvas bag available from Italic Home via Etsy.

Diana Rothery is a commercial and portrait photographer in San Francisco. When she isn’t photographing for work, she curls up in her cozy Bay area apartment. Full of history, either from estate sale finds or from her own family - the wingback was her grandmother’s and the painting above it her grandfather’s - there’s a story at every turn. No stranger to DIY projects, she created her shelving unit from pine wood and piping and effortlessly blends mid-century modern with vintage style for a warm collected feel.

31 Bits:

CAUSE TO CAREER PHOTOGRAPHY BY HEATHER KINKEL

Bits of old posters may seem an unlikely textile, but it’s the material that got 31 Bits started. Emma’s editor-in-chief, Sarah Hubbell, sat down with the company’s co-founder Jessie Siminson to find out how how the team of founders turned posters into their passion and ultimately career.

EMMAMAG.COM 81


“We’re not just giving them some money and saying, ‘Hey, good luck! I hope this works out for you.’ It takes employment and education to really empower someone.”

S

he grew up on a llama farm in small-town Oregon. Hardly the makings of a fashion mogul. And though she would never describe herself that way, it’s difficult to deny her success in spite of her modest beginnings. Kallie Dovel, a co-founder of 31 Bits, planned to work in a Ugandan orphanage one summer, but upon arriving in Africa, her plan fell through. Instead, she serendipitously found her way into the lives of women who spent their days creating beautiful jewelry but didn’t know the first thing about business. Dovel brought back some of their designs - fashioned entirely out of bits of poster paper - when she returned to the States and friends jumped at the chance to purchase them, turning what could have remained a set of charming souvenirs into a full-fledged business. “We felt compelled. We didn’t have a choice. Women needed a job, we thought we could help, so we did. We had no idea it would grow into what it is today,” states Jessie Siminson, one of the five co-founders of 31 Bits. And grown it has. Five years ago, the program started with six Ugandan women and today boasts more than 170. Not to mention 21 employees split between Africa and the United States. But it’s very clear growing their business comes second to caring for these women. “We’re not just a ‘give back’ brand,” Siminson tells me. “We’re not just giving them some money and saying, ‘Hey, good luck! I hope this works out for you.’ It takes employment and education to really empower someone.” And that’s exactly what their fiveyear program does. After jewelry making comes financial coaching, health education, and goal setting. When these women graduate, they are fully equipped to launch their own companies and sustain their families independent of 31 Bits. Ugandan women who would otherwise be out of work now run businesses as a tailor, a pig farmer, and a landlord, to name a few. “We’re teaching them how to dream,” Siminson explains. It doesn’t escape the founders how big an impact they make. In fact, it’s what keeps them from burning out or from letting petty disagreements get the better of them. “If we let something small get in the way, it would kill our purpose. We’ve always understood that we are doing this for a much bigger cause,” Siminson asserts. It’s what pushed them to continue when they didn’t see a profit for the first two years. It’s what keeps them focused when competing brands rise up alongside them. And it’s what I imagine will keep 31 Bits a prominent jewelry brand for years to come. Sitting in their Orange County headquarters today, you would never guess how humbly it began. Not that it’s the least bit pretentious - you enter through what can only be described as a hut, albeit a very adorable one - but they are doing well. They share a space with other artists, constantly surrounded by creative energy. And while it’s a long way from small-town Oregon, and a world away from the villages of Uganda, you get the feeling it’s exactly where these girls are meant to be.
