first willow garden structure project & an English dovecote
Several of you have asked about the English dovecote hanging near our front door as well as the willow garden support, so I wanted to back up a bit and share about those two pieces.

Lucketts Spring Market 2024 Purchases
I shared a recap of my day shopping the Lucketts Spring Market this year HERE, but I wanted to share what I purchased and where it ended up in my house. You can see my wish list for the day HERE and, I must say, I did pretty well on my list! Lucketts doesn’t disappoint. […]
Ultimate Scallop Wicker Tray
Last week, I decided to play around a bit inside the house. I’ve been spending a lot of time outside pulling weeds, hauling mulch, and planting and I haven’t been paying much attention to the interior. Dust bunnies may have been involved. Okay, they were.
