I work hard to share interesting and free content with you. Help me keep the blogging lights on by buying me a virtual $3 cup of coffee as a way of saying thanks for sharing what I share.

Over the weekend I got to tour two homes being built using straw bale construction which is a regenerative building method aimed at helping the planet rather than hurting it. ♥️🌎 Get to scoop on the process and find additional resource links in today’s post on thegoldhive.com! 🏗🌾🏠

Shout out to the flower I cut from my front yard and shout out to the scratches on my 104-year-old mirror. I love them both.

Didja catch my fig tree saga in my Stories today? Well, check ‘er out!
Also, it’s very much still summer in San Diego - it’s hot and my plants are mostly all brown - not like they were in the springtime when I took thise photo. ☀️🥵

Could there BE anything better than sleeping in your own bed after being away for weeks? (Read that in Chandler Bing’s voice)

I shared my antiquing journey in Stories yesterday and I’m blown away by how many of you want more of it. Really?!? Even though I’m just sharing fun things you can’t have?? Should I do more thrifting trips?

I shared a video of me answering all of your hard-hitting questions AND I baked a pie! Hop over to thegoldhive.com to watch the pie Q&A vid! 📽 🥧 Feel free to leave more questions in the comments of the post - I’m an open book.

We made it home from Chicago and I already miss that fine fine city. ♥️ If I had to move to a major city, it’d be Chicago. I can’t decide where I’d go if I were to live rurally -there are simply too many great options. Which city would you migrate to if you had to? 🏙

Never met a 19th century mosaic floor that I didn’t like. Check out my Stories for a tour of this truly amazing house - or rather mansion.
