Random thoughts on a sunny estate-sale Saturday morning:
1. Just in case you missed it? Zack got married last weekend. I spent this past week with all the emotions. Happy and then nostalgic then ecstatic then wistful then peaceful and excited about the future.
Sharing all the wedding details (with TONS of pictures) this week.
2. Another episode of “What I Bought Wednesday” is live on my YouTube channel with the cutest jelly bracelets that are perfect for the pool and the best way to make your bathroom smell better.
You can see it here.
3. I went to the best estate sale yesterday. There were tons of finds and I discovered the cutest thing for the kitchen. I’m sharing it next week, but here’s a hint.
It’s blue and white.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about:

That red barn looks kind of like the barn on my former farmhouse! So cute! Yes Top Gun Maverick is worth the wait! So good! Thanks for sharing the wedding pics!
I love Estate sales they always have interesting things. Sometimes they have lovely hidden treasures. So, I'm excited for the post. I love French Country Cottage, Courtney always shows new ways to display things.
Worth the wait! I went with one of my boys snd husband. I loved it! Tom Cruise makes great movies! Of course my husband is convinced his abs were enhanced via CIG or whatever that is called😉😎
I felt the original had more fun but this Top Gun had more heart. Really loved it.
Just cleaned and organized our pantry so I’m relating to that organization post! Thank you for sharing my DIY daybed porch swing!❤️
I’m dying to see the new Top Gun too…Chuck isn’t a fan…but I’ve been singing “hiiiiway to the danger zone” all week long & wearing aviator sunglasses around the house so that should help!
Top Gun Maverick is awesome! Keep trying.
Loved Top Gun Maverick! Great movie! Can’t wait to see wedding pictures.
Lots of great ideas and finds KariAnne this weekend! Appreciate your homework efforts for your post. Congrats on the growing family! Very exiting for all of you. I’m married to a retired Fighter Pilot…hoping to see Top Gun this week sometime…remember the first one quite well! Highway to the danger zone…what memories!
Yes go see the Top Gun movie!! The centerpieces were just the right touch. Beautiful! Can’t wait to see more from the wedding! Have a great week!
Congrats on becoming a mother-in-law! Top Gun is absolutely worth it. From the second that iconic music starts....goosebumps all the way.

We saw Top Gun last week - to me it was worth it - brought such nostalgia! Like a visit from old friends. And I am a big ole softie with American Pride kind of movies anyway.
Love the weekly wrap up! Thanks for all the work putting together it!
