I'm Stephanie, lover of all things orderly, garden-y, and pretty. Also coffee.
I'm a Louisiana girl, but I’ve lived all over the country. It’s made me less rigid, and for that I’m thankful.
I have a curious habit or ten, and I bet you do too. One of mine is chasing rabbits, apparently. What makes me happiest is home and garden, but those topics often lead to lands unknown, so you’re liable to find any topic covered here. No rules, just fun.
Best,
Stephanie
