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.

I just shared a new blog post all about decorating with blue and white: where the look comes from, why it’s lasted so long, and some simple ways to incorporate it into your home without changing everything....

One of the things I love about sourcing in Europe is how everyday objects were made with a quiet kind of beauty. Not necessarily meant to be decorative… but made well enough that they become beautiful over time. A few small French pieces went live in the First Arrivals online shop today, and I thought I’d share a little about them. First are a pair of old painter’s palettes. They're amazing examples of how the process of making art can become art itself. Layered with years worth of oil paint,...
