A Stroll Through Our Fall Garden

November 5, 2024

The first week of October, I took to cleaning up the garden, which had become half overrun with the last of the year's produce and half completely withered away. I always love trading out some of the wilted summer plants with colorful fall mums, kale, and pansies, and seeing them mixed with the ...

I love a good cocktail any time of the year, but often fall back on the same old favorites. Many of my go-tos are very summery in ingredients and in flavor, so I'm not only looking to shake up my cocktail routine in general, lately I'm scouring Pinterest for all of the autumn-inspired recipes. ...

Wishlist: November 2015

November 5, 2015

Wishlist sources: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13 I always feel like I neglect November and don't show it quite as much love as I could because it brings with it a few bummers, like Daylight Savings Time, the stress of the upcoming holidays, and the first bitterly cold days of the year. ...

June starting off strong, reminding me how much my June starting off strong, reminding me how much my soul craves a good summer golden hour. ✨

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
