2019 Farmhouse Decor Roundup {Part 2}

Hi Friends! I hope your week is going well. Are you getting ready for Easter? We're looking forward to a family vacation later this week, and as always there's loads to do to get ready to leave. At last count we're up to 25 animals... and with that comes a lot of little instructions for when we're away. And then there's the packing... But I'm not complaining that we're heading to a sunny and warm destination! :) It's always worth the prep.

Today I'm rounding up more of the top posts from this year so far (in case you missed them). 

If you missed Part 1 you can find it here!

Processing Wool Into Yarn {A Little Dream Come True!}

Faith * Family * Farmstead* {Farmhouse Style} T-Shirts!

Hi Friends ~ I'm excited to announce that these super soft heather, vintage-style tees are now available here for a limited time! I've partnered with Joys of Threads who hand prints each shirt from silkscreen. The tees are stretched on a wooden frame and custom made to order. They run true to size with no shrinking.

Farmstead Decor {All in the Details}

Hi Friends! I hope you're doing well. If you're thinking that the picture below could use a big bucket of lilacs, so am I. Stay tuned... About two more months. ;) Until then, I thought I'd share some simple farmhouse details that add lots of character and charm in any season...

Beautiful Vintage-Inspired Farmhouse Style Signs...

Some signs really set the tone for a space, and I'm excited to share some beautiful ones with you today!

I recently had this 6-foot sign made for our shop space (at M&M Antiques) by Paula over at Castle and Cottage.  If the sign above looks familiar, we have a smaller version in our home, with the year we moved to our farmhouse...

Our Mini Farm in Numbers...

Hello and welcome to our little farmstead! 

As of Thanksgiving, we will have lived here for four years! Some of you know the story of our search for a mini farm... but the quick version is this: When our three sons were 10, 7, and 4 years old, we wanted to find a place where they could roam free, explore and play to their hearts' content. We hoped for a home with some land and a barn. Our boys really wanted a dog. We pictured somewhere just passed the city limits, but still close to family and our boys' school.

We prayed and prayed. We couldn't shake the desire. When we found this place, it just felt like home. It had everything we were looking for (except marble kitchen countertops and updated bathrooms, but you know what I mean ;).

Our Little Farmstead Vegetable Garden

 We're getting a serious dose of sunshine, and our garden is loving it! 

Everything is starting to grow fast now...

This is only our second summer here, so we still have much to learn about gardening. We planted a lot of the same vegetables we did last year with a couple of new additions. We added a few pumpkins and watermelon.

We are also trying this green bean teepee... 

Our garden gate is covered in vines once again.

Our oldest son, Hudson, planting greens in his garden bed. (We were grateful there were already three garden beds when we moved in. One for each of the boys!)

Since moving in, my husband has wanted to put a flag up. He installed this one from our side porch, facing the garden. We love watching it wave gently in the summer breeze over our little garden...

Our middle son, Noah, weeding beneath his green bean teepee...

Our youngest, Lincoln, planting corn.

Look how it's grown!

Happy July from our garden to yours! ;)

A Farmhouse Garden...

We're enjoying our second spring here at our little farmstead. The mature trees, plants and perennial flowers surprise us with new beauty daily this time of year.

There's something about wisteria that reminds me of an old-fashioned garden...

This white wisteria is in-bloom near the gate to our vegetable garden.

And these delicate purple flowers are adding a splash of color against the green beneath the large tree in our front yard...

The peonies, which I stalk check daily (my favorite!), are just starting to bloom.

The pale purple wisteria, covering our smaller back porch, has been especially abundant this year...

It's therapeutic for me to share these glimpses of garden beauty with you because there is SO much gardening work calling to be done. If I weeded all that needs to be weeded, you may never hear from me again. ;) And our vegetable garden remains half-planted (though today may be the day!).

Though there's always work to be done, here's to taking a moment to smell the roses, wisteria or whatever is blooming near you! 

Hope you have a great day...
