I’ve missed Friday Finds two weeks in a row and I didn’t want to let this one pass completely so I bring you a rare Sunday post. I’ll dispense with the usual preamble and get right into it. Here’s some of the best of what I was loving on the web last week. New House New Home photo Heather shared ...
I figured it was time for an update on our little office / back room project, but prepare yourself for the most unexciting update ever. Last I mentioned it, the drywall was up and the ceilings were painted and ready to be installed. That was ages ago. At least it seems like it. I think it was about two weeks ...
I spent the weekend celebrating my birthday. It wasn’t a “special” birthday and the intention was for it to be very low-key, but things kept popping up, so I just kept eating and drinking and celebrating with friends and family. That was fantastic, but it pushed off me organizing my seed order for another weekend. And I have to say, ...
It’s already the third week in January and seed starting is right around the corner. I feel like I’m behind this year, having only ordered a few sweet pea varieties from Floret Flower Farm‘s new store.

A quick update on the reno in the office before I get to the fun stuff. We had a little surprise early in the week when the drywall guy thought he was finished, but ...
It’s the first Friday Finds of the year, but first a quick update on what’s happening in the back room / office (I really need to just figure out a name for that room and call it that once and for all). Drywall is up, including on the ceiling, which was a surprise to me. Since we’re putting wood planks ...
Surprise! I’ve been talking about all kinds of projects, namely a bit of DIY in the basement and redoing the downstairs bathroom, but here we are doing a project (and by we, I mean the people we hired to do it) that I don’t think I’ve even mentioned. This is how stuff goes around here. And this is what I ...
