Today’s #csfrenchflea was such fun! I shopped until I dropped, and met so many friends in person. All Of the antiques from vendors like @elsie_green, @patine, @eurolinens, @atelierdecampagne, and @chateausonoma were so inspiring and beautiful! I bought lots of goods that will make their way to our new shop, I can’t wait!! #csfrenchflea ...(PS: after looking at this photo in my feed, are Butternut and I twins? 🤷🏼‍♀️🐐)
I feel as if I’ve been waiting for the #csfrenchflea all year long! I am so excited to gather with so many wonderful French antique loving friends and sip champagne all weekend! If you’re in NorCal I hope to see you this weekend at the flea! 🥂🇫🇷
Another Monday in the books ✔️ Love Shack is clean and we’re headed to our neighbors for some homemade tortillas - here’s to livin the good life ♥️🐐. #QueenButternut
Always finding ways to be in touch with the Earth 🙌♥️. I’m sitting in the Dallas airport on my way home from Missouri thinking about what a wonderful time I’ve had meeting internet friends in real life, and it reminds me how important human connection is 🌸. Nature & connection are two things I believe are true gifts and so often we let them pass us by! Give yourself a moment off your phone, or to really look into someone eyes and smile or say hello in passing. It makes such a difference in our lives! I hope you have a wonderful evening and have a chance to get outside and appreciate everything around you!
Currently in Branson Missouri, anyone ever been? I have been learning so much about blogging with @julieblanner, @pizzazzerie, and @inspiredbycharm. I have been working on getting our new shop ready, which I can’t wait to launch! Here’s a teaser photo of a few of our new items: lots of ceramics and linens!!! I can’t wait and am just so grateful for your already amazing support!
I had a friend ask me why we have to brand the cattle, and I honestly didn’t really know. I knew we had to do it, and that it was important, but I wasn’t sure of the details. To me, brandings show such a display of community and commitment to helping your neighbor, but in reality they are definitely a necessity. I’ve got a new blog post up sharing the regulations and information about why cattle are branded. It’s pretty interesting! I found out that our brand has been registered to our family for over 160 years. Amazing! I hope you’ll read this post (click the link in my profile) 🐂.
Wishing all the mamas a very happy Mother’s Day! And to all the women that play the role of mom in someone’s life (human...or animal ♥️), happy Mother’s Day to you too! There are so many women that have been “mom” to me in my lifetime, you are so important to me, and I love you!
