The Most Colorful Trees of Fall 2026, and Where They’re Showing Off
The dozen trees that make autumn, sorted by color: the sugar maples and scarlet oaks, the aspen gold and the ginkgo’s single-day drop, with where each puts on its best show and what this year’s forecasts promise.

The Senses: A New Way Into Seventeen Years of Moss & Fog
Our biggest project of the season. We took seventeen years of the archive, thousands of stories, and resorted every one of them by feel instead of by date or category. The result is five shelves named for the senses, each one a hand-picked trail through the best of what we have ever published.
Taste holds the dinner tables, the chocolate and the impossible restaurants. Smell keeps the perfume, the campfires and the rain. Touch is wood, wool, stone and everything made by hand. Sound gathers the concert halls, the birdsong and the quiet places. And Sight, the biggest shelf of all, is where the color lives. Wander in through whichever sense is hungriest today. It is built to be gotten lost in.

The Turning: How Fall Color Moves Across North America
The loop above plays the whole season in a few seconds. The full version is interactive: a painted map with a date slider, a timelapse, and a button that finds you in the season. It pairs very well with the trees story up top.
● 04 · ARTISAN
Meet the Maker: Senser Woodcraft, and the Case for a Sixth Finger
A six-fingered hand carved in beech, wooden stones with magnets hiding inside, and workshops on two continents. Lydia of Senser Woodcraft on craft, edges, and the joke that has a job. Her pieces now live in our shop.
● 05 · NATURE
Meet the Tilcayo, the First New Wild Cat Named in Over a Century
Smaller than a house cat and hiding in Bolivia’s cloud forests, the tilcayo just became the first new wild cat species named in more than a hundred years.
● 06 · TRAVEL
The 50 Largest Cities in the World, Ranked (2026)
Tokyo is no longer number one. The UN’s new count puts Jakarta first, Dhaka second, and reshuffles everything below them. All fifty cities are here, each with a photo and one thing worth knowing.

The sale runs while the leaves do. Whatever you carry home from it, we hope the best thing you collect this season is an afternoon under something enormous and orange. |
