Happy Friday 2/21/25
Happy Friday! Any fun weekend plans? We’re gently easing into packing for our move to the Poplar Cottage. Eeek! That means going through clothes and toys and stuff and deciding what makes the cut. This move will be another downsize (we went from 3000sf at the Farmhouse to 2000sf at the Hill House to 1000sf at Poplar) and though temporary, we’re using it to joyfully embrace less. Smaller spaces can be freeing. Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Here are some links from the week…
Found myself pinning Carley Summers’ entire airy/European/just-plain-lovely portfolio this week (shown above)!
A neurologist’s tips to protect your memory, like reading fiction and playing 20 questions. How fun is that!
Who’s ready to move to France?! I’m amazed at how far $1.15 million goes in Burgundy.
My cardigan got a love on Instagram last week. And I’m here to say, it’s as easy-wearing and easy-washing as it is cute :)
This week we shared our hunt for a vintage Jenny Lind bed (and the new one we ended up with).
Wow, this 1890 rock star’s home in Portland is A STUNNER! There’s even a karaoke room.
Have you heard the news? Bridget Jones is back - a little sad, a little frumpy, but she’s still our girl! (here’s the preview)
What is making a house look dated right now. This is always my biggest fear with our renovations - I don’t want to look back in 10/20/30 years and say, “gosh that looks so 2020’s and it needs redone”.
A fun book rec for you. This one was a total page-turner (or the audio equivalent) and I loved it!
Have a good one!
