Ever heard of a young woman who loves baking for others and hosting free parties to strangers? It might seem silly, but it really does happen. Misswondersmith is a nature lover who loves throwing fairy-tale-looking parties? But how to get invited? Just discover the invitation that the host has hidden in public places.

Wondersmith, who doesn’t want her name to be known, seeks inspiration from nature, and all of her delicious meals are completely free of any artificial coloring.

“I am constantly inspired by the beauty and bounty of the Pacific Northwest, which I hope is apparent in these baked treats!” the host said. I love connecting with the natural world by carefully and respectfully foraging many of my ingredients.”

Check out her beautiful dinners below.

It’s the beginning of the holiday season And the last few days have been full of feeling My own suffering dwarfed by the grief of a stranger Heart crushed by tragedy – those loved in danger A family of four that never arrived A mystery for days, but no one survived . ✨✨✨ . But on the other end of our valley’s scope Comes a heartwarming story that’s brimming with hope A stolen dog taken five months past Discovered and reunited with owner at last! For months she’s been searching to find her sweet pup And he’s come home long after others gave up . ✨✨✨ . These stories remind me of what I hold dear As my eyes begin to fill up with tears Of sympathy, gratitude, loss, even fear… I pull my most loved a little more near For darkness often reveals the brightness And reminds us all to practice a little more kindness . ✨✨✨ . As someone’s who’s faced that tunnel of light Who has had to learn to hold on and fight My priorities changed, my focus has shifted As I revel in the second or third chances I’ve been gifted This one will count – will be the magical sort Because our one beautiful life is just too damn short. . ✨✨✨ . Don’t wait any longer to grasp onto your passion Don’t wait to show your neighbor compassion Find your purpose as soon as you can Make the world brighter within your own lifespan Because the promises of life are fleeting, unstable Let’s share our brightness, while we’re still able 💚✨ . ✨✨✨ .

I was heartily disappointed the first time I sampled a 'real sugarplum.' After years of picturing the most succulent, magical sweet, that raisin-y mix was a disappointment. I figured this year was time to re-visit those dreams of sugarplums and come up with a recipe worthy of them! I like to think I’ve done my pre-pubescent visions of sugarplums justice in this gorgeous bread topped with confectionary plums. A naturally-purple pastry dough envelops a fragrant filling of spiced dried fruits and nuts, then is topped with mouthwateringly delicious sparkling sugarplum confections. Whether you’re celebrating a night at the ballet or waking up to it on Christmas morning, this delightful bread is sure to bring a little more wonder to your celebration. The color is all-natural thanks to macqui berry powder (which also adds extra antioxidants and a pleasant flavor), and it's easy to adapt this recipe to be vegan as well. You could even just make the tasty sugarplums that top the bread – they'd make a lovely last-minute Christmas gift!!

As wild roses perfume the woods in the Pacific Northwest, they remind us to slow down, to indulge in our senses, and to show ourselves some loving self-care. I love making wild rose sugar to use as a highly-fragrant body scrub and then moisturizing my skin with silky-soft hibiscus and rose whipped body butter. Both recipes are simple and lovely. Set aside a little time to get lost in the sensual act of foraging rose petals, then treat yourself to some sweet self care! Both recipes and musings about wild roses can be found on my blog, thewondersmith.com/blog . ✨✨✨ . #thewondersmith #misswondersmith #foraged #selfcare #wildrose #wildroses #selflove #handmadebodyproducts #diyspa #foraging #mothernature

‘Twas the day after Christmas And in the house gently nesting Were all of the people Who needed some resting For the week up to New Years When time feels unreal Is an important opportunity To reflect and to heal So snuggle in with your books Let the pressures slide away Enjoy the slow place And take it easy today. ✨✨✨ I hope all of you that celebrate had a wonderful Christmas yesterday, and that you’re able to rest and recuperate this week! The week between Christmas and New Years always feels a bit foggy to me, as if time no longer exists in the way it does the rest of the year. It’s so cozy to snuggle into the fog and get a little lost before the crispness and clarity of the New year, don’t you think? (This photo is from a recipe for chicory and black cocoa sorbet with black walnut crescent moons, and you can find it by searching “crescent moon” on my blog, thewondersmith.com/blog !) . ✨✨✨ . #dayafterchristmas #takeiteasy #thewondersmith #misswondersmith #foraged #wildcrafted #blackwalnut #chicory #sorbet #crescentmoon #wildfoodlove #adayofrest #boxingday #december26

Roses are feminine in the deepest sense. Their silky soft petals and gorgeously complex fragrance envelop you in gentle softness, like a mother’s hug. Surrender. Let yourself become soft and sweet. “Stop and smell the roses” reminds us to slow our pace, yes, but it also reminds us to celebrate the significance of our own pleasure and our own care. I've just listed three new recipes on the blog to do just that: gorgeous (and easy!) raspberry rose apple tarts, rose petal paste that can be used as a sensual skin rub or delightful flavor in baking, and whipped rose coconut cream moisturizer perfect for hot and dry summer skin. Head on over to thewondersmith.com/blog to get the recipes and read more about why I love wild roses so much! . ✨✨✨ . #wildrose #roses #wildfoodlove #creativefood #rosetart #tart #roseappletart #creativepresentation #bodycare #selflove #selfcare #misswondersmith #thewondersmith #raspberryrose
