packages of heart garland
i have some really amazing friends. friends both close & far away. friends i’ve shared coffee with weekly & friends i’ve only exchanged word through email. i am so thankful for all of these individuals who speak into my life, visit the farm, take an hour or two for a cup of tea & mail packages of heart-shape garland honoring our dear state.
my sweet friend, jessie of the kind pilot, just recently sent me this lovely little arkansas garland just because. jessie & i were in a small & dear-to-my-heart women’s group at church & shared large parts of our life together for some time. i was just recently hitched & she was welcoming her first son. jessie’s home is gorgeous & her personal aesthetic is inspiring. also – hands down- she has the best handwriting on the planet.
so, when i received a package from her filled with a little note & something to place in my own home, i was absolutely giddy. it’s the perfect pop of color & inspired this little corner in our home.
my mom came over recently for a surprise trip & saw the garland. she instantly found the heart with the name of her town where she grew up. it’s such a fun little piece to have in our home & it hangs on a a piece of art my other dearest & kindest friend, jessie, drew. i am officially calling this my jessie wall.
so, if you have a little moment, stop by & welcome jessie’s new etsy shop, the kind pilot. she spreads cheer through paper & thread. & really, who doesn’t need a bit of cheer?
oh, & just in case you thought i was all moved in with a perfectly clean home…
think again.
love,
natalie

I love Jessie's shop! So sweet of her to make a custom cuteness for your new house. I also appreciate the picture of your sink. It looks like my house. 🙂 I love all of that real life stuff.

Hey Natalie! I really adore what you did with your kitchen 🙂 We recently moved too– and from your before pics it looks like we had a pretty similar era (our home looks a little older but the last time it was redone looks about the same). Wondering if you might be doing a tour of your house and kitchen? I'd love to see them– since I'm still trying to figure out how to improve some of our rooms, and you are so darn crafty and cute. The inspiration would be much needed 🙂
