Wednesday Weekly Wish List #150

Ann | On Sutton Place

1.) This edition of The Wish List is actually going to be more like a share list…because I have so many things I need to tell you. So settle in, grab your favorite beverage, and let’s get started!

2.) If you have an entryway that needs a refresh, take a look at the small updates I just added to our foyer. It’s all budget-friendly and so simple. From start to finish, it took less that 30 minutes!

3.) MOTHER’S DAY GIVEAWAY: the chest in our entryway desperately needed a new look. So I shopped our house, and came up with a vignette that perfectly follows the decorating rule of three. I was so happy with the way it turned out that I decided to give away two sets of the wood candleholders, along with the pillar candles. And just in time for Mother’s Day! Here’s how to enter:

• Head over to my Instagram account.
• Once you are on my profile page, just tap my round picture in the upper left corner.
• This will open my stories, where you will be able to see exactly how to enter the giveaway. Good luck!

4.) FAVORITE QUOTE: “Faith is a choice. It’s an act of will.” ~Herta Kurc, We Were The Lucky Ones, Episode 7.

5.) INSPIRING HOMES: wander through this Designer Showhouse situated on Silver Run Reserve in North Carolina, and then tour a classic southern home that’s inspired by old Florida style.

6.) Herb gardening is so fun and rewarding. I love everything about it from finding the containers, to choosing the plants, and finally watching those plants grow. Over the years, I have grown herbs in just about every kind of container imaginable. Take a look at these ideas for growing your own herb container garden. Everything is simple, easy to maintain, and budget-friendly.

7.) I have a new series that just started called FRESH BAKED. Every Friday, I’ll send you an easy recipe, that uses basic ingredients, and that can be baked right in your own oven. Over 2,000 of you have already signed up, and I’m so thrilled and grateful. Learn more and join us HERE.

8.) I just curated a very special collection of my favorite gardening tools and supplies. It’s divided into categories, so everything is very easy to find.

9.) APRIL BESTSELLERS:

• these easy-to-wear relaxed chino shorts
• this simple white candle lantern for inside or out
• this cool cotton gauze tunic
• this looks-like-china melamine dinnerware set
• this 10-foot market umbrella in more than 20 colors
• this on sale black and white tee

10.) Thank you for stopping by today…and I hope you have a lovely rest of the week! XO

Serve over rice. Dice fresh green onions and sprinkle over the top.

Answer to #7: You are a lucky girl if you were born in May. Your birthstone is emerald, and your flower is lily of the valley. The first full moon in May is called the flower moon, and this year, it is on May 23rd.

Happy Wednesday!
