Kicking Off A New Weekly Favorite!

Something new is happening here on Wednesdays, and I know you’re going to love it.

I’m excited to announce that I’m joining Yvonne from StoneGable for the Weekly Wednesday Wishlist – a fun series where three bloggers share a curated mix of inspiring ideas, favorite finds, and helpful recommendations.

WWW isn’t just another shopping list—it’s a weekly dose of ideas, tips, style, and inspiration that are just too good not to share.

Weekly Wednesday Wish List isn’t something new. In fact, this is the 211th edition! Originally founded by StoneGable, Designthusiasm, and On Sutton Place, it’s a fun weekly feature that is already established and very well received.

Lory (Designthusiasm) and Ann (On Sutton Place) have recently decided to step back and slow down a little from blogging. I’m honored and excited to step in alongside Yvonne—and soon, a brand-new contributor—to bring you my own take on this series each Wednesday.

You may be surprised to know that I recently moved and am up to my eyeballs in boxes, wrapping paper, and just doing my best to get settled into our new-to-us home. So I’m keeping it simple this week with just a quick hello. But starting next Wednesday, I’ll be ready to jump in with my first full list—and I can’t wait to share it with you!

PS: I’ll be sharing all about our new home soon!
