A Letter from the Editor

Follow Us into Spring • EXTRA! EXTRA! NEW AND NOTEWORTHY

Burning Bright: The Glow of Inspiration • Inspiration is a word that gets thrown around a lot. But what does it mean, and how does it feel? Here are some thoughts on how to find—and follow—inspiration whenever it strikes.

Zest in Show • If you’re looking for a little pep in your spring desserts, sometimes vanilla just won’t cut it. So we’ve brought lemon to the party, here to brighten things up with its signature sunny tang. With cloudlike meringue peaks or jammy blackberry ribbons, each zesty recipe offers the perfect sweet-tart tension that keeps forks returning for just one more bite.

Asparagus Setaceus, also known as the Fuzzy Fern • Elegant yet playful, simple yet wild, the plumosa (aka fuzzy) fern adds a burst of color and intrigue wherever it’s placed.

The Art of Play • EAST COAST ARTIST RILEY SHEEHEY REMINDS US THAT WHIMSY CAN BE FOUND AND FORMED ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE WE’RE WILLING TO LET A PLAYFUL HEART TAKE THE LEAD.

A Moment for the Mini • These tiny bags set the tone for a breezy season and inspire a fresh edit for lighter steps.

Pave the Way • Lay the groundwork for walkways, patios, and gathering spaces that inspire connection.

Noodle On It • IS PASTA SALAD A PASTA OR A SALAD? IT’S COLD, ZESTY, AND FULL OF FRESH INGREDIENTS, YET IT’S HARD TO DENY THAT IT SATIATES APPETITES JUST LIKE A COMFORT FOOD. LUCKILY, THERE’S PLENTY OF TIME TO CHEW ON THE ANSWER AS WE ENJOY TASTY NEW TWISTS ON A GENRE-BENDING CLASSIC.

Flowers, Just Because • Liven up your home with prints, patterns, and garden-grown inspiration.

A Note From Jo: The Process Is the Inspiration

Well Opener

Introducing the Shared Table: Magnolia’s New Supper Club Series • At Magnolia, our love of food comes from the belief that life’s best moments unfold around the table. It’s where time stills. Where we can slow down, settle in, and connect with family and friends. It’s where the old adage proves true: A shared table is a shared life. That belief inspired The Shared Table—a seasonal supper club series we’re kicking off this spring across all of Magnolia, starting right here in the magazine. Each season, we’ll gather around food and community, sharing an experience meant to be anticipated, returned to, and passed along. One we hope bridges not only our table to yours, but yours to others’. —Jo

The Mountain House • The Rocky Mountains hold years’ worth of memories for our family. After wrapping our most recent season of Fixer Upper, the mountains now hold a cozy getaway we can gather and grow in for years to come.

The Wait & The Rise • THE BASICS OF MAKING SOURDOUGH AND THE WAYS THE PROCESS CAN STRETCH AND SHAPE US

Out of Sight • A secret garden feels like a setting plucked straight from the pages of a storybook. Look closely, and you’ll find one in this flourishing Greenville, South Carolina, backyard.

New House, Old Soul • WITH JUNKYARD PANTRY DOORS AND PARAKEET SERENADES, DESIGNER GRACE MITCHELL’S NEW GROUND-UP HOME IS FILLED WITH SURPRISES AND CENTURIES OF STORIES.
