Hey friends — happy 4th of July and Independence Day to everyone celebrating! We’ve had visitors this week, which was the perfect excuse to enjoy our refreshed guest room and spend time together on the patio and exploring town in this gorgeous Seattle summer weather.
Having company was a lovely break, but I always miss connecting here when I step away. I’m excited to be back and to share a few things I’ve been working on — including some rug designs I submitted to the Annie Selke Dash & Albert rug competition. Designing turned out to be trickier than I expected, but the ideas and encouragement you shared in the comments were so helpful and inspiring.

I couldn’t show all my options before the submission deadline, but I’ll be sharing the final designs you can vote on this week — I can’t wait to hear what you think. In the meantime, I’ve rounded up some summer sales and a few recent purchases that I’m loving.
This weekend I picked up a new outdoor umbrella and a frame for the backyard. Summer is a great time to grab patio and home items on sale, and there are lots of good deals right now if you’re in the mood to shop.
