Welcome to Tea House, a newsletter about home, travel, and gathering. Stay a little while, won’t you?
This newsletter is a place for connection, conversation, and community. We’re chatting about things like buying a cabin, where to find Etsy lighting, and how to throw a holiday party that doesn’t suck.
It’s been featured by bestselling newsletters including Downtime, The Love List, and Scratch Pad by The Stripe.
Meet Teresa
I’m a writer, author, host, and design-lover. I’ve written for Travel & Leisure, CNN, and Glamour and have been featured on NPR, The New Yorker, and the Wall Street Journal.
A California native, I spent what I’d consider to be my truly formative years in New York, a city that will forever have my heart, as well as all the money I made in my 20s.
My husband and I met during our time in Japan (my recs here) before relocating to Colorado, where we live with our minidoodle pups, Steve and Cleo, and an extensive collection of taper candles. We split our time between a townhouse in Denver and a cabin in Grand Lake — a little town just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park that’s ripe for a Hallmark movie.
What you’ll find in this newsletter
How we gather: An interview series highlighting people who are bringing friends and community together in inspired ways.
Guest in residence: Conversations with guests on the art of creating a home, traveling well, and gathering beautifully.
Tea notes: Weekly edits where I share what I’ve been reading, eating, trying, buying, etc., along with Substacks I think you’ll love.
Teahouse chat: Think of this like a group chat / Reddit thread with your internet girlies who own a microplane, are recreating a Rose Uniacke bedside table, and are looking for Ischia recs.
For paid subscribers
Free subscribers receive at least three newsletters a month. Paid subscribers get access to extra exclusive content, reader q&a, personal updates, the full unlocked archive, and the knowledge that your support makes the hours I pour into this newsletter possible.
