A Message From David
Dear Friends of Groundswell,
As winter settles in, bringing shorter days and that familiar crispness in the air, we’re reminded of the beauty this season holds—the warmth found in our homes, the soft glow of candles and lights, and the comforting stillness of quiet winter moments. The holiday season is here, inviting us all to slow down, gather close with loved ones, and savor these cherished moments of togetherness.
At Groundswell, we find inspiration in the little things—moments of calm and beauty in the everyday. This time of year offers us all a chance to pause, reflect, and appreciate the simple joys: a crackling fire, the laughter of friends and family, a meal prepared with love. It’s these details that remind us of what truly matters, and we hope they bring you warmth and happiness in abundance.
As we approach the close of another year, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you, our community. Your support and belief in what we create mean everything to us. May this season be filled with peace, joy, and time to embrace the magic of winter’s quiet charm.
Wishing you all a beautiful, restful holiday season and a new year filled with love and inspiration.
A Hot Cup of Tea
Few things are as comforting as a hot cup of tea on a brisk winter’s day. David’s favorite is Mariage Frères, which we’re thrilled to offer at Groundswell. His top pick is Marco Polo, a blend with fruity, floral notes, while Esprit de Noël, with hints of cinnamon, apple, and almond, brings a festive warmth that’s perfect for the season.
Freshly Baked Bread
The aroma of freshly baked bread is pure comfort. At Groundswell, our bread and baked goods are made from scratch each day. A warm loaf, whether a rustic baguette or a country-style sourdough, is perfect to share over a meal with loved ones, celebrating the season’s simple joys.
Holiday Cookies
Holiday cookies are meant to be shared. Whether you’re gifting a tin of our festive frosted cookies or indulging in classics like gingerbread or chocolate chip, these treats are a sweet reminder of the season’s cheer and the joy of giving.
Add garlands to doorways or hang a wreath on your front door for a welcoming touch.
For an added splash of color, try sprigs of winterberry or red dogwood. And to brighten up your outdoor decor, shatterproof ornaments add a festive, worry-free sparkle.
A seasonal scent can transform your space, bringing warmth and charm.
Light a candle with notes of pine, cedar, or spiced orange to capture winter’s coziness. For an even more subtle touch, we love Lucia’s pine diffusers, which fill the room with a refreshing scent reminiscent of a winter forest.
We hope these favorite things inspire you to savor the season, finding beauty and comfort in every little moment. Wishing you a holiday filled with warmth, wonder, and all the things you love most.
