March & April 2022 Favorites
March and April were whirlwind months, which is why their favorites posts have been merged together. In two months, we’ve squashed in getting a house ready to sell, showing & selling a house, going on a beach trip, packing for a move, selling a ton of belongings, 3/4 people in our house being sick with […]
decorating with shells
As I collected shells at the beach this spring, the question I was asked most often is, “What do you do with them?” And I get that question! When we cleaned out my Oma’s attic, there were about a dozen 5-gallon buckets filled with shells she collected over the years. It was a great example […]
tips on packing for a move
I know people who have moved a lot more than I have, but I have moved quite a bit in my life. Until I was almost 30, I had never lived anywhere longer than 4 years! An 11-year stretch in our PA house is the longest I’ve lived in one place and, even then, we […]

upheaval and linen sheets
Disclosure: This post about washed linen sheets is sponsored by Brooklinen. As always, all opinions and words are honest and my own. Anyone who has moved before knows that moving and upheaval are synonymous. Our house is being dismantled piece by piece. There are boxes everywhere and things covering surfaces, waiting their turn to be […]
georgian paintbrushes
I’m going to share more about packing and moving soon, but let’s just take a minute to admire some antique art supplies. Specifically some amazing Georgian paintbrushes. Between getting a house ready to sell, traveling, packing, and being sick, I haven’t had anywhere near as much time in my studio, playing with all of my […]
