Friends you know I love sharing where I’ve been - I enjoyed another terrific visit to the Big Green Barn on Friday May 17th. Look at this magnificent Chrysanthemum Japanese lamp that now lives in the Chalet.

Susan holds sales periodically or you can visit her at her shop in Harding.

Nobody curates a better mix of pieces than Susan! The painted demilune table below was a stunning piece at only $325.00.

This wonderful oval table was scooped up by a lucky shopper! These delightful painted nesting tables gave me pause. More treasures… tabletop decor, candle holders, serving pieces, lighting.

Here are Susan and Karena - the creative who offers her pillows at the Barn.

Susan find amazing art and the lamps she curates are beyond!

Til next time friends I encourage you to follow Susan on Instagram at both of her accounts Susan Brierly Bush and Big Green Barn and if you’re within an hour or so to pay her a visit at her shop in Harding. It’s in a wonderful area and I guarantee you will find a treasure or two!

Til next time friends be well and I’ll see you over on Instagram!

The Beauty! The Scent!

Friends I was thrilled to visit to Long Valley Peonies in Long Valley, NJ with my sister yesterday. When I looked back at images from last years visit it was a year ago to the very day May 28th!

BREATHTAKING

If you live within a few hours’ of Long Valley, NJ you must visit. Luckily the weather won’t be too hot this week - which means I’m able to go back this coming Monday June 3rd - this time with friends. But, only Mother Nature dictates how long the farm will be open!

Located at 227 West Mill Road, Long Valley, NJ, 07853 Hours: 9am-6pm daily, rain or shine. It costs $10.00 CASH to visit. The bouquets are $35.00 for 10 blooms - I did see details about Venmo but, CASH is preferred. There are great options for dining just down the road from the Farm. The Long Valley Pub and Brewery, Chesapeake Tavern - I recommend both.

It’s heavenly friends - walking around breathing in the scent, seeing all the blooms - so many different varieties and it’s so quiet. You are surrounded by amazing beauty. I have over 50 images on my phone - I just couldn’t stop trying to capture this immense experience.
