Happy Sunday, everyone. We all know by now that Dolly Parton has left us, but we were truly fortunate to have shared the same era with her. Her exceptional talent, kindness, and sense of humor made her truly special, and her legacy will always be cherished by all of us, inspiring us to carry on these traits in our own lives. She was truly one of a kind.
This week’s featured home belongs to Lela Becker, the cofounder of Mother…yes, that Mother! Her family’s home is a masterpiece of architecture, blending seamlessly with nature and exuding a unique charm. It’s a sight to behold.
From Emily: I’m currently rewatching one of Brian’s and my all-time favorite shows, Veronica Mars, with our kids, now available on Prime. While it may seem a bit dated at first due to its distinctive visual style, it quickly draws you in with its captivating storyline and engaging characters. Kirsten Bell shines as the witty and clever detective, navigating through mysteries both big and small. The show’s setting in early 2000s OC adds to its allure, creating a rich tapestry of storytelling. It’s a show that leaves a lasting impression, drawing you in with its addictive charm.
Also From Emily: I recently discovered the most comfortable wire-free bra that provides both support and comfort, a rare find for those with a larger bust. It’s a game-changer, offering the perfect balance of lift and shape without the discomfort of traditional bras. A must-have for all-day wear without sacrificing support.
From Caitlin: I urge you to consider becoming a blood donor, a cause that has become deeply personal to me. After witnessing my mother’s life being saved by blood transfusions, I realized the critical importance of blood donations. The process is quick, painless, and immensely impactful, making a difference in the lives of many. With the current blood supply crisis, every donation counts and can save lives. Consider donating and making a positive impact on someone in need.
From Jess: I recently indulged in two captivating shows, Sterling Point and The 5-Star Weekend, both of which left a lasting impression. The stellar cast and compelling storylines are sure to captivate and touch your heart. If you’re looking for quality entertainment, these shows are a must-watch.
From Gretchen: I recently styled a chic fridge setup using drink dispensers from IKEA, adding a touch of elegance to my kitchen. It may not be a necessity, but it adds a stylish touch and provides a satisfying way to store and display beverages. The adjustable design accommodates different can sizes, making it both functional and visually appealing.
From Arlyn: Rediscovering a favorite decor piece, the metal catch-all bowl/plate designed in collaboration with Clare V has been a delightful surprise. Its sleek design and versatility make it a perfect addition to any space, adding a touch of sophistication. A timeless piece that elevates any surface it graces.
From Marlee: I recently scored some amazing finds at a sale by Pigeon Toe Ceramics, including a beautiful tablecloth, lamp, butter dish, and spoon rest at great prices. Their discontinued sale offers a wide selection of charming items perfect for gifting or treating yourself. Don’t miss out on these unique pieces that add character to any space.
From Mallory: As an Apple Watch enthusiast, I’ve been loving this band for its stylish look and comfortable fit. An accessory that adds a touch of elegance to your watch and can be adjusted for a perfect fit. If you’re looking to upgrade your Apple Watch band, this one comes highly recommended.
Wishing you a wonderful end to August and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! xx
