Pull Up A Chair
Weekly stories and events from our little corner of the world
Our Always Welcome newsletter and Deeper Conversations blog posts work together like any good relationship—one brings warmth and connection, the other brings depth and discovery. And when you’re ready for shared experiences, we invite you to Gather Round – our corner for community adventures and the incredible people who help shape our work. Together, they ensure there’s always a place for you at our table, whether you’re here for a quick catch-up, a long conversation, or to join the adventure.
Pull up a chair. The conversation is just getting started.
Always Room for One More
ALWAYS WELCOME
Your spot at our table is always here
Every week, we clear a spot at our table for you. Over coffee and honest conversation, we share what’s stirring in our hearts, growing in our work, and happening in our little corner of the world.

Closing the book on 2025 with gratitude, business updates, and Advent reflections. Here’s to the winds of life—the ups, the downs, the lessons, the blessings.
DEEPER CONVERSATIONS
Where catching up turns into something more
You know those conversations that start with “how have you been?” and somehow turn into the real stuff? That’s what you’ve found here. This is where we unpack the bigger stories—the ones that need more time to unfold, more space to breathe, and maybe a second cup of coffee to really explore.
Want a second cup?
Life gets busy, and sometimes great newsletters get buried in the inbox! No worries – we’ve all been there. Here’s our complete archive so you can catch up on what we’ve been exploring at your own pace. Pour yourself a second cup and dive into Frank & Ethel’s journey!

September Scavenge 2025: A Community Archive
This September, we invited you to scavenge through your memories—to share photos, stories, and moments that shaped your journey. What you gave us was extraordinary: a tapestry of lives well-lived, childhoods cherished, and community connections that span decades.
The slideshow below is our first archival piece at Frank & Ethel’s, a collection of your contributions that honors the brilliance and beauty of this community we’re blessed to know. To everyone who participated—thank you for trusting us with your stories, your time, and your spirit for scavenging.
This is just the beginning. We look forward to creating more opportunities for you to share your stories and join our growing archive of brilliantly unique, talented individuals who bring magic into our shared space simply by being present.
September Scavenge will return. Stay tuned for future opportunities to contribute to our growing community archive.
