House Call: How I’m Celebrating Strawberry Season
Welcome to the extended version of my weekly newsletter, House Call (and if you aren’t subscribed, what are you waiting for?). This is where I spend some time pondering a theme, answering a question, and helping you shop smarter, or at least be inspired by something new. Reach out if you ever need recommendations—I'm happy to search the internet for the most specific furnishings, decor, and knickknacks.
I recently downloaded a plant identification app called PictureThis and it is incredible. My new favorite pastime is snapping pictures of any and every leaf, branch, sprout, and flower, which has led to understanding so much more about the greenery surrounding me. One of the more exciting discoveries on a recent walk was the sheer number of wild strawberries that are popping up in my yard. We have entered strawberry season! Thanks to the app, I know the berry’s scientific classification, characteristics, and even symbolism. Something I learned: Did you know that a strawberry represents love and luck?
June is such a prime time for strawberries in North America. The farmers market becomes a scene of red berry baskets. Summer celebrations aren’t complete without a strawberry shortcake or pie. I’ve also noticed in recent years that all the best strawberry fashions and decor start blooming. So in honor of the sweet fruits, I am rounding up all the best strawberry goods I’ve swooned over lately.
