We were so excited to be able to sneak in our fifth Book & Dinner Club this spring. We think everyone else was too because we sold out within 24 hours! It was such a joy to spend the past six Tuesday nights with 10 amazing women to eat delicious food made from recipes eitherContinue reading “Book & Dinner Club—Taste: My Life Through Food”

Cheers to Our 2nd Year!
Although the unofficial Philo Collective anniversary hails back to May 2020, our operations became official in January 2021. So, at the close of 2022, we celebrate a fantastic end to our second full year of yoga, bakery & events!

Book & Dinner Club – Delicious!
We had another lovely farmers’ market season this year, but we couldn’t even wait for it to be over before starting our fourth book & dinner club this fall. With 10 women signed up for food & fellowship on Tuesday nights, we had our largest book club yet; spending six wonderful weeks reading & eatingContinue reading “Book & Dinner Club – Delicious!”
Book Club — Under the Tuscan Sun
Harkening back to the pre-Fixer Upper year of 1996, we chose Under the Tuscan Sun, by Frances Mayes as our next book club installment. This time, however, we more aptly named the event series “Book & Dinner Club,” given that an entrée and dessert constituted more than just conversation refreshments. Before it was popular (andContinue reading “Book Club — Under the Tuscan Sun”
Book Club – To Shake the Sleeping Self

For seven weeks we traveled through ToContinue reading “Book Club – To Shake the Sleeping Self”

Practically speaking what that boils down to is a goal of engaging and stimulating our community to fosterContinue reading “Creating space for community”
Macaron or Macaroon – What’s the difference?
If you’ve stopped by our vendor booth at the Farmers’ Market this summer, you’ve probably heard our spiel about offering “European-style baked goods.” While we certainly aren’t experts on pastries, we are big fans of baked goods hailing from across the Atlantic and wanted to offer some unique treats to our community. Given that IContinue reading “Macaron or Macaroon – What’s the difference?”
Lo’s Favorite Things
“Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.” I would never claim to be a movie buff, mostly because I hardly ever see movies in theatres (or even the year they come out). In fact, I’m not really an early adapter or lover of anything. So, it’s no surprise that I was late to the Secret LifeContinue reading “Lo’s Favorite Things”
Emily’s Favorite Things
“Silver white winters that melt into springs, these are a few of my favorite things!” The Sound of Music was my absolute favorite movie growing up! Julie Andrews, as Maria, helped me discover my love of music at a young age, and I still plan to travel to Austria someday to climb every mountain asContinue reading “Emily’s Favorite Things”
