i am over the moon with excitement for today’s giveaway! brandy of bella vita jewelry is a dear friend of mine & one talented lady. we have known each other for several years. i met her when i was co-directing the little craft show. brandy is one of the most driven people i have ever met. simply put, she inspires me.
her jewelry is amazing. i have a collection of brandy’s pieces, including the sweetest custom necklace she made for my 3rd anniversary. her jewelry is unique with a sweet bohemian feel. it’s easy to wear on date night or dress up a t-shirt & jeans. when brandy graciously offered to do a giveaway on my blog, i was giddy. y’all, she’s the real deal. i cannot wait for one lucky reader to receive a pair of her earrings.

on the farm, we are:
– welcoming the last spring babe. hello, chip! you are just the sweetest. both mama & kid are doing quite well & cozy in their little barn.
– filling baskets with bright blue, green, pink, white, cream & brown eggs. it’s always a surprise as to what we’ll find in the nest box.
– a barrel full of scraps from the local juicery for our sweet herd.
– sharing our love of farming with the littles in our community.
– borrowed electric fencing (we love our farming friends) to protect the girls from that pesky fox!
– chippy & rusty porch accessories are the very best if i do say so myself.
– goats grazing pastures in search of the best green treats.
– planting, planting, planting. every evening until dark.
– still pinching myself that we get to call this place “our farm.”
tell me. what are you doing in your parts?
love,
natalie
this weekend my grandparents visited our farm & stayed the night with us. there’s nothing quite like sharing your little farm with the farming generation. my grandpa is a retired farmer & i love hearing his stories. during those times, his family farmed to eat.
my grandparents are amazing people. my grandpa grew up very poor & learned to “keep on, keepin’ on,” which led him to farming successfully. my grandma is a homemaker, writer & poet. she’s deeply spiritual & was crunchy before it was cool. they’re lively & fun with so much to share.
during their short stay, we sat around many tables, breaking bread & sharing stories of their past & dreams for the future. we talked about farming, raising children, books, marriage, faith & so much more. i want to bottle up these moments with these two.
love you, grandma & grandpa!
love,
natalie
