Meet Bea Apple & Trisha Logan: This pair of entrepreneurial-minded women recently opened Hillfolk, a destination textile studio and shop

Seasonal Statement: Welcome guests with fall foliage and accents that can easily transition to winter months


Jennifer Gibson of Little Rock’s Good Earth Garden Center says the front-door display at coworker Billie Shields’s house has been on Billie’s to-do list for some time. “She has always wanted a pumpkin fall entrance, and this is the first house she’s lived in where she could do it,” Jennifer says. “And if you are going to have an eye-catching pumpkin display, you need the rest of the accents to complement it!”…

Spooky Meets Sweet

Halloween Fun: Designer Tobi Fairley continues her hospitality series with ideas for an All Hallows’ Eve gathering that’s all treats and no tricks


“I love an excuse to entertain,” designer Tobi Fairley admits, “and there’s a magical element about Halloween for kids; it’s always been one of my daughter, Ellison’s, favorite holidays.” However, you won’t find ghoulish or gory goblins gracing the Fairleys’ front foyer. Instead, Tobi opts for a classic combination of sweet treats and cheerful décor. “You’ll see skeletons in my house, but they’re always smiling skeletons,” she laughs. “For me, fall is my favorite season so I want this to be a time to get together with friends and neighbors and enjoy all the things I love about the season—crisp air, wearing sweaters, having a pot of chili on the stove, and baking in my kitchen.” Read on to see how she complements her existing décor with colorful, fun pieces and good-enough-to-eat (or drink!) concoctions for Halloween….

A Taste of Riceland

by

Riceland’s Mobile Café brings Southern, locally grown fare—like this cheesy rice waffles and chili dish—to venues around central Arkansas


Arkansas has a storied history when it comes to rice. In fact, we lead the nation in rice production, with more than 1.1 million harvested acres in 2017, according to the USDA. While some of the rice grown accounts for one of the state’s most profitable exports, many Arkansans enjoy locally grown rice here in The Natural State….

Up and Down the Delta

Discover Eastern Arkansas: Take in the sounds, tastes, and sights of the region to immerse yourself in this area’s rich heritage


If you were to paint a portrait of the Delta, you could go a long way with just three hues on your palette. You would need a pure, cloudless blue for the sky, which goes on for miles and miles uninterrupted by anything taller than a silo. An earthy red would capture the sun bouncing off the side of a barn, rusted siding and abandoned farming equipment, and the ruddy tone of soil near the Mississippi. And then, of course, a vibrant green for the stalks of cotton, rice, soybeans, and other crops that grow in endless rows along state highways winding around the eastern edge of the state….

One for the Books

Festive Haus owner Jessie Gillham gives a book club gathering a themed style upgrade and offers tips for your own soirée

Serving meals family style encourages conversation and togetherness. “I love doing dinner parties and seated, more intimate gatherings. I grew up with my mom always entertaining, so there’s something that I feel so passionate about and that I love about people gathering together over a meal,” Jessie says.
Meet the Party Planner: A background in large-scale event planning (she was formerly director of events at the local Susan G. Komen chapter) led Little Rock native Jessie Gillham to discover how much she loved the details of everyday occasions. “I was always the one in my friend group who planned the bridal and baby showers, and I loved it,” she says….

Weekend Retreat

Thanks to an amenity-filled backyard there’s no need for this family of five to head out of town for a getaway


Sometimes the greatest escape is one nearby. Case in point: Angie and Hunter McMillen’s Little Rock backyard. “We had a boat, and we enjoyed going to the lake, but we didn’t have a lake house,” Hunter says. “I thought, ‘One day I will have a house there, and I’ll enjoy boating all day and not having to drive back home, but until then let’s sell the boat and build a pool and get our priorities right. Now, we use this more than we ever used our boat.”…
