Happy Friday! 8/28/26

Happy Friday! Summer is starting to wind down, and I’m missing it already. I’m not quite ready to give up long evenings, garden flowers, and slow mornings - but I’d be lying if I said sweaters, soup, crisp mornings, and a little more routine didn’t sound pretty good too. Both can be true, right? It sure is fun to live in a place with real seasons :) Wishing you a lovely weekend!

A few things that caught my eye this week:

Dolly Parton.

Nancy Meyers’s daughter Annie inherited her mom's good taste” I loved watching this renovation so much!

These classic jeans have been making there way around the internet after Dakota Johnson was spotted in them. Love that they’re under under $100 and quality made!

We watched Sunny Sandler’s new movie and I laughed, I cringed, and I cried. We all enjoyed it! Here’s the preview.

Now THIS is a basement!

How to feed a family for $28 a day.

This week we shared my insignificant but kinda significant reason for adding a handshower in the Hill House ensuite. Tell me I’m not alone.

These four men are renovating an Italian home they bought for one euro. So much fun to watch.

Currently on my nightstand. I just picked it up and can’t wait to dig in.

I’ll leave you with a quote from the late, great Dolly Parton: “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”

Have a good one!
