Chicago is definitely one of my favorite places to visit. From Wrigley Field to the Sears Tower all the way down to the hot dogs (with tomatoes, pickles, relish, onions, and yellow mustard, of course!) – there’s always something fresh, exciting, and authentic about this place! Much to my enjoyment, I recently made a quick […]
Me and the ‘Dream Team’ (my code word for the Katie Brown Workshop crew) made a quick escape to my house in the Berkshires. After few hours of organizing and touring around the property in the ‘Gator’, we wound up at one of my favorite local spots – The Gypsy Apple. This tiny French bistro […]
I don’t think there’s anything more exciting than an afternoon in the park. My niece Lillian, who was recently in town, took my girls to a local park for a little fun in the sun…
Do you remember those kitschy ‘Brag Books’ that your extended family used to have laying around the house – full of polaroids and photos of their children and other extremely adorable children?

Live! With Regis and Kelly invited yours truly to host a spring gardening segment for their show. Think: The Ultimate Herb Garden. The West Side Community Garden (which is a FANTASTIC place by the way… you must go and check out their tulips) generously offered us a plot to use for the segment. We decided […]
Friskies (yes! the cat food company) asked the Workshop to design a sculpture out of Friskies cans to help raise money and awareness about recycling. We had tons of fun developing ideas… Should it be in the shape of a cat? A hot air balloon? A giant pie? After a little while we settled on […]
Hello Michigan — we’re back! However, instead of a photo shoot I was back in my home state to interview with the lovely ladies of Eight West at WOOD TV in Grand Rapids, MI. They had this great idea hold a contest where the winner would receive a kitchen makeover with Katie Brown Meijer products! […]
