It has been such an honor seeing The Homecoming Issue grace Barnes & Noble shelves across the nation this week. If you've happened upon our lovely issue, be sure to share a photo on Instagram (hashtag #cottagehill) as we'll be giving away a $100 gift card later this evening. 

Today we're sharing one of my favorite editorials from The Homecoming Issue's Chapter One. This story was inspired by the idea of your last day or last moments at home before your life's next big chapter. Perhaps the great adventure before you is moving from home, getting your first job or getting married and creating a new home. The good memories you take from home shape you and follow you. This story is about savoring those last moments before life changes. The creative team photographer Amy Carroll conjured to bring this story to an authentic place, captured this feeling so elegantly and purely through these sweet 'sisters' sharing a morning on the family farm.
