Summer is here! (I almost don’t dare to say that.) It has been a record year of late snowfall here in Northern Michigan. But alas, I do believe it is finally officially the change of season! How do I know? Because my chickens are
happily pecking the grass, I am hauling projects off to the beach to paint, my brakes are getting worn out from too many yard sale stops, and my gardens are calling my name. And we just installed our very first beehive. YIKES! But even more than that I am feeling SO inspired to pair down our home. To re-‐
paint and part with a few treasures. It is time to clear the cobwebs and freshen up a bit, both indoors and out. Everybody deserves the gift of relaxation but somehow it becomes a tad bit more meaningful while we are able to enjoy it
surrounded by the fruits of our labors. Here’s to rest, relaxation, and inspiration!
Dear Reader,
Warmly,
Hea!er Anderson

Homebound Magazine was created
by Post Road Vintage and began as a free quarterly e-zine. It has since expanded into a full digital and print magazine which is published six
times per year. We focus on ‘HOME”.
Inspired by yesterday, farmhouse beauty, simplicity, and the promise of tomorrow. We love to celebrate
creativity, home, and family. We believe joy can be found in the simple and small things all around us. Being outdoors, or creating a space which is uniquely your style in your home can have such an impact on one’s spirit. Happiness can mean a warm
home, a hot meal, and family and
friends all together. Happiness can
mean snuggled up with electronics turned off (unless you’re reading this digitally) ;) Happiness is finding inspiration and motivation to
actually do or try something new,
which may awake a new passion
inside. Happiness is home.

SAMPLE ARTICLE
Have you dreamt of setting a lovely table but didn’t know where to start? Images in magazines and online are very inspiring, but can also seem quite intimidating. Here is a little secret, the pictures shown almost always have the ‘real life’ stuff edited out! How do I know this? Because I write and shoot for this Magazine, of course!
How about this idea? Create a table for your own family which you would set for your ‘best company’. We so often forget that our families ARE our best company. Just because we are ‘everyday’ to each other, doesn’t mean that we’re not special.
Courtney from The French Country Cottage shows us how to set a very elegant table, easily and on the cheap.

If you’ve been following on this journey along with me, you know that the Post Road Vintage business has slowly been
changing. What started out as strictly product based, has evolved into publishing this Homebound Magazine. Recently
I have also added classes as a fun way to grow, connect, and get inspired!
I am so grateful for my blog and social media to connect with all of you. But at the same time, I have been yearning for
more personal connections and a chance to meet more of you in person! This past winter I held wood shop and painting classes out of my home with a small group of
creative women. It was so exciting to play a small part in helping them find their style, learn new techniques, and most
of all have fun and create memories! I am feeling very called right now to share my favorite techniques and create with you. This is why I am SO EXCITED to announce these opportunities to connect through classes and workshops.
There are limited spaces available so please reserve your seat ASAP if you’re interested!
I can’t wait to work with you! (See details at right.)

S ’s BSTORY, PHOTOS, AND RECIPES BY HEATHER ANDERSON
Very few things say ‘summer’ more than fresh berries, ripe for the picking.
Here in Northern Michigan we are blessed to live near an abundance of wild strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, thimbleberries, and... (I’m sure I’ve missed a few.)
For the less adventurous, berries can be found plentifully at road side stands and markets.
Usually we gobble them up as fast as we can pick them. Occasionally they get made into something special, and even more rarely, make it to the freezer to be stored for winter.
Here are a few of our favorite summertime treats with fresh berries.
(These all can be made with frozen berries too... perfect for getting through a long winter.)

SAMPLE ARTICLE
S R E M Ingredients
1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered1 large stalk of rhubarb, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise, and chopped2 tablespoons sugar½ teaspoon lemon juice4 egg whites, at room temperature½ teaspoon cream of tartar1/8 teaspoon salt¾ cup superfine sugar (if superfine is unavailable, blend regular sugar in a small blender)3 teaspoons cornstarch, siAed1 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In an 8 x 8-‐inch baking dish, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, and sugar. Roast for 10-‐12 minutes and remove from oven. Decrease temperature to 225 degrees F.
Remove 1 cup of fruit and set aside. Place the rest in the blender with the lemon juice and puree until smooth.
Line a baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper.
Whip the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, increase speed to high and whip until soft peaks begin to form.
Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the eggs one tablespoon at a time while the mixer is running. The meringue is finished when it forms a stiff peak as the whisk is lifted from the bowl.
Make six mounds of meringue on the baking pan and spread slightly with a spoon so they are uniform in thickness.
Bake for 1 hour and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Whip the heavy cream with a stand mixer on medium high speed until it forms soft peaks.
Spoon the whipped cream over the meringue and top with berries and puree or break the meringue into pieces and layer with the fruit and puree in a glass.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY HEATHER ANDERSON
O Ss p.50
Try bringing a project outdoors to work on for added inspiration and to clear the cobwebs. I painted this chair on the shores of Lake Superior, at my Mom and Dad’s home. It was really worth the extra effort. If you can do it in the morning or evening before it gets too hot or uncomfortable that is a plus.
Here is one time where you don’t need to feel rushed to ‘accomplish’ and finish. But rather, the experience itself is so enjoyable that finishing is almost a bummer. Bring a friend to work on something with you. Or just enjoy the peace and quiet, the waves lapping at the shore, the birds chirping, and the sun on your back.
