Hi.

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

Truly, can we all just agree? Figs are a responsibility best not delegated to one’s neighbor.

Orangery; that’s fun to say. Why isn’t everyone finding a reason to say, “Orangery”? Or, better yet, building one, right this very minute?

Orangery: noun or·ange·ry \ ˈär-inj-rē : a protected place and especially a greenhouse for growing oranges in cool climates

Walt Disney World is seriously just showing off. They consistently have the most beautiful gardens, rethought and refreshed constantly by a team of horticulturists, landscape designers, and (I can only imagine) a fleet of gardeners. I always feel a little inferior when I'm there.
