I Filmed My England Antique Hunt for You


Happy Friday Reader!

My England YouTube video just went live this morning 🇬🇧

To be completely honest, I wasn't sure I had filmed enough footage to even have a video to share, the trip was such a blur 🫠

So I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled my camera videos and found plenty of behind the scenes footage to make a video I'm really proud of. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

And just fyi . . . at the 13:40 mark in the video I get pretty vulnerable and share more about this whole giant shift I am undergoing 😊

French Finds Coming Monday

More First Arrivals are landing in the online shop, Monday the 9th at noon CST.

These objets trouvés include French prayer books from the 1800s, antique almanacs, and a few drop-dead gorgeous paint palettes.
