Today Maggie girl and I are taking things pretty slow and light.

So hand stitching binding onto these huge pumpkins I’m making seems like the perfect adventure to take on.

Neutrals and basics are coming soon!

Today I am pulling all the Fall Vibes into my market shopping.

I am ecstatic about what’s coming for Fall.

Cardigans
Satins
Knits
Polka Dots
Pumpkin Scents
Think textures and mixed prints.

Many of these items won’t ship for a few months but Giiiiiirrrrrllllls I am so excited!

What are you excited to see?

This week is one of my best friends last week as an ear nose and throat provider after decades of service to southern illinois.

My friend, Michele, is a rodeo Queen from way back so my new selection of items is influenced by what I imagine she would have worn as a trending rodeo Darling.

These will launch in the coming weeks in Mcleansboro and I do look forward to this one.

Happy Retirement Michele, I so love you with all my heart! ❤️

We rule the world!

My last stop of today was Riverside Relics to bring in a few pieces before their opening.

I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to bring in fun pieces from my collection of finds.

I’m so excited for this one and the store is beautiful!

We need 90s inspired summer dresses right?

I think so too.

Relics will be opening very soon in Elizabethtown, IL

Expect to see new retail and second hand retail.

Cottonwood will be rotating new merchandise here after it’s been at the north stores, so if you see something you love, it’ll likely be south shortly!

Always an adventure 😍😍😍
