End of Year Update: Gratitude and Goodbye 2022!

A Very Flowery Spring + Prep for Two Summer Markets! 

I don’t know how it’s June already, but here we are. My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on June 6th (though we’ve been together much, much longer than that). The lilac bush that was a wedding present bloomed for the first time in our yard, and the peonies I planted when we… Continue reading A Very Flowery Spring + Prep for Two Summer Markets!
