lo-fi holiday doings, part II

The Prairie Collective is like an enchanted forest meets walk-in curio cabinet. Much of what they sell looks like it was whittled by woodland nymphs underneath a forest canopy and a double rainbow. Woodland nymphs with exquisite taste, mind you.

You might have read about the transformation of their shop on Design Sponge, where the Studio Choo duo contribute floral projects that are equal parts romantic and wild. Their columns make my heart swell with longing for their vision and skills. Well, this past weekend, the Prairie Collective gals had This Humble Abode in to share her homemade herbal cocktail infusions. It’s part of their winter workshop lineup. We’re talking grapefruit-tarragon served with vodka, star anise-ginger served with whisky and ginger beer, and kefir lime-something-or-other-delicious with gin and tonic.

The stranger next to me even let me take a sip of his drink. Because that’s the kind of magic spell we were all under.

So glad you came and enjoyed the drinks. By the way, kaffir lime and lemongrass was the one you were missing. I will be posting directions to make your own infusions on my blog in the very near future, just in case anyone wants to make their own.
PS I'm pretty sure we all agreed that alcohol kills any germs...
