On things that make summer just grand...

Hi.

I hope you are staying cool in the warm weather.

I am making sure to utilize my sun dresses and sandals!

There are so many things that keep me wishing for summer all year long

and this summer has especially been one that was worth the anticipation!

*I have recently become reaquianted with my bicycle,

and I'm almost positive that the world is more beautiful on two wheels.

I have been taking bike dates with myself and with company,

but my suggestion to you is to hop on your bike.

You'd be surprised where it will take you...*

*My "aunts" (adoptive wonderful people) have taught me

a lot about gardening. Taylor and I built a small planter box to experiment with

several plants that we recieved from my aunts awesome green house.

Our tomatoes are freaks! They are already producing more fruit

than we know what to do with!

My aunts, being the wonderful people they are, never let

me leave their house empty handed.

I got to take home an entire rhubarb plant a few weeks ago!*

*There is nothing quite as relaxing as a morning at my favorite coffee shop:

The Mill.

I always find the eclectic environment and neighborhood setting inspiring.

Lately, this has been my go-to place for shop planning and blogging.*

*I have been enjoyed to Taylor play guitar and write originals.

He has recently discovered the world of blogging and I am hoping

he will soon have a music blog of his own.*

I hope your summer has been as grand as mine!

Love, Meg



On what it's all about...

Hi.

This week, I am beginning my journey into a new level of blogging love. I previously worked on discovering the beauty. As I slowly saw that my blog was transforming into a place where I could share my recipes, vintage goodies, and how-to-do's, I decided to refocus in a different direction.

This next adventure will be a start-to-finish-explore-with-me-tutorial on setting up a blog and Etsy shop. I hope you are just as inspired to create as I am, and if not, perhaps you will learn a little about the details of blog design with me. With the help of blog gurus, Megan and Jake Anderson of thenerdnest.com, we will be up and dazzling in no time.

So grab your laptop, a latte, and your much appreciated input and join me as we join our forces to take the handmade movement by storm.

<3 Meg
