Happy Friday! 5/22/26

Happy Friday! Any exciting plans for the long weekend? Garrett’s sister flew in from New York and we’re excited to spend some family time together - dinners in the Porch House garden, hiking, going to the farmers market, and generally enjoying the weather. Wishing you a lovely long weekend ahead.

Lilacs from the Farmhouse

A few things that caught my eye this week:

Why saying hello to strangers can be good for you.

My sister lent me these cute (and comfy!) sneakers and I’ve gotten so many compliments on them. Hoping I get to keep them for a good long while ;)

What style of garden suits you? I got naturalistic and they got me soooo right: “You prefer objects with a patina to those shiny and new; yes, you purchase some of your jeans predistressed, but no one can tell.” ;)

Speaking of patina, last week we sealed our honed marble countertops and they look so good! Here’s the sealer we use and how we care for marble countertops in a bathroom.

How lovely is this Notting Hill flat?!

Just ordered this one-piece swimsuit for the season ahead (and it’s 50% off right now).

How to get the 90s butter mom look (and what exactly a 90s butter mom is). I’m so here for this!

“You don’t find your calling. It’s finds you.”

Have you read this book yet? I was looking for something light and it delivered!

Have a good one!
