Last week, I launched this website the day before my birthday as a way to close out a year and welcome in a new one. Confession: I love my birthday. A lot. I love celebrating, being with those I love, and enjoying magical things.

Just shy of two years into this side quest, I decided to create a website, a return to blogging (kind of), a place to share resources, a way to get the thoughts out my head.

Introducing things I bought at an estate sale instead of a big box store.

Happy new year! If you want to skip yapping, you can swipe for my no / low but year guidelines for 2025.

A quick hello from our vintage-inspired Christmas.

It’s been awhile since I’ve reworked something. Mostly, we’ve been doing heavy duty spring cleaning, sorely needed since we moved in last summer.

If you ever want to be humbled, hang wallpaper.

Combing through Facebook marketplace and buy nothing groups and thrift stores can be, let’s just say, a lot. In the grand scheme of life, this is incredibly small potatoes, but it always makes me want to cave and just order what I need.

When we moved into our house last year, we discovered that the previous owner left stuff behind. Quite a bit of stuff actually.
