Quilt Coat
I found this super old quilt at a garage sale a few years ago. I actually bought two quilts! One is in great shape, with a pretty tulip pattern and is used in my guest bedroom. The other was not in great shape so I tried using it as a rug for awhile. It just […]

Looking to grow sweet peas or other crops on an arched trellis? Here is a great How-To guide! I just love this arched trellis and it couldn’t be any easier to build. @urbanfarmstead on Instagram inspired me a few years ago with his arched trellis! So instead of showing you how to build it, I […]
Fall Flowers
I rummaged through the garden yesterday in search of flowers and foliage. We’ve finally had some rain lately, so the flowers are kind of a hit and miss right now. Dusty, the farm cat, followed me around hopping through the plants. I gathered garden roses, antiqued hydrangeas, moldy zinnias, half-dead mums, snowberries, early anemones, forsythia […]

Bright & Moody
The summer is quickly heating up. On this wedding day, temps were 104 degrees! Yuck! The centerpieces were in the shade, so we had our fingers crossed all would hold up in the warm weather. These wedding flowers were entirely grown in CA! Most were grown by us in Roseville. Luckily our garden rose bushes […]
