Welcome to The Friday Edit


There’s Something About the Coast

The way the air carries salt and stillness. The way the light stretches longer. The way time seems to move—not slower exactly, but softer.
 
At Friday Harbour, we believe in living with that same rhythm - where routines become rituals, and the everyday feels intentional. Where you pause before you pour. Stretch out the sunset. Wrap yourself in something soft and know that’s enough.
 
Coastal living isn’t just a location - it’s a mindset. One that invites presence, beauty, and a gentler pace. Through each edition of The Friday Edit, we’ll share inspiration for creating that feeling, wherever you are.
 

Feel Good Tip: Sunset Reset

Ever heard of "island time?" It’s not just a schedule—it’s a mindset. One that invites you to move slower, breathe deeper, and be a little more present. On the west coast, where possible we let the tides and sunlight set the pace. And sometimes, the most restorative thing you can do is… nothing at all.

Leave your phone inside and take your tea or drink (or just your bare feet) outdoors for golden hour, the most magical time of day just before the sun sets. Stand on the grass or press your toes into the dirt - let the earth support you. Studies show grounding can reduce stress and inflammation by reconnecting your body to the earth’s natural energy. It’s a small shift, but makes a big difference letting your mind slow down as the sky does the same.Because calm isn’t a place. It’s a way of being.

Outdoor Snack: Marinated Olives + Citrus

1. Toss green olives with orange zest, cracked red pepper, rosemary, and a splash of good olive oil. 
2. Let them sit for an hour. 
3. Serve with flatbread or crisp crackers and something cool to sip.


Bring the Coast Home: A Soft Natural Palette

You don’t need to live by the water to channel a coastal calm. Coastal charm begins with color that feels sun-washed and effortless—tones that echo the shore.

Try draping our Natural Oat & White or our Solid White Cloud Towel over the edge of your tub or a chair in the bedroom. Let the soft stripes and lightweight texture invite ease into your space.


Think warm whites, sandy beige, soft oat, and muted seafoam. These are the shades of driftwood, sun-bleached linen, and sea mist.

Sage green, with its soft, earthy tone, is a perfect coastal neutral—reminiscent of dune grasses, eucalyptus leaves, and sun-faded foliage by the water.
 
Hints of sky blue or a weathered navy can add quiet contrast, but the mood remains calm and grounded. Together, these tones create a space that feels light-filled, soothing, and naturally beautiful—like a breath of salty air, even if you're miles from the coast.



Coastal Cocktail: Cucumber Gin Spritz

Light, herbal, and perfect for slow afternoons.

You’ll need:
1 oz gin
2 slices cucumber
A splash of elderflower liqueur
Sparkling water
Ice & mint to garnish

Directions: 

Muddle cucumber in a shaker with gin and elderflower. Pour over ice, top with sparkling water, and finish with mint.

*Serve barefoot, ideally near a breeze.

Wishing you soft breezes, golden light, and one beautiful pause this week. Thanks for slowing down with us!
