ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
On a hot July morning, Lucy, Annabelle and I hiked around breathtaking Mt. Sequoyah, (located in Washington County, Arkansas for those of you living in other parts of the country/world). We took tennis balls for fetching and cold water for drinking, and although we did our exploring early, the air felt thick and blanket-heavy, more like Beaumont, Texas than Northwest Arkansas.
Did I mention it was hot?Continue Reading
I love everything about Blackboard Grocery & Eatery on Dickson from the cool, urban vibe to the bright open window in front of the sandwich bar. This, my friends, is a true Fayetteville find and definitely something needed in the area.
Um, yes, they have breakfast tacos! Take it from someone who recently moved from Dallas, breakfast tacos are sorely underrepresented in Fayetteville. Owner Lycia Shrum hails from Austin, so naturally, she knows a thing or two about building a breakfast taco.Continue Reading
Modern gardeners rejoice! Garden Living is my latest Fayetteville Find and a place I am elated about. This boutique, located at 160 E. Joyce (near IO Metro), is a true garden living shop complete with interesting specimen plants, gorgeous hand-thrown pottery, Dutch garden tools, eclectic gift items, and not-your-typical outdoor furniture. Dallas people, think Redenta’s and you’ll understand my happiness. Garden Living is the sister floral shop to Pigmint (which has also moved to Joyce Blvd).
Simply walking through is a zen experience.
A few pictures…
Succulents, cloches and cacti.
I’m a big fan of these zinc pots. I have one planted with aloe.
Some pig!
Some orchid!
Here’s a find for you. Cool linen napkins. If I didn’t have a self-imposed napkin moratorium hanging over me, I would snap these up.
Garden Living even has Nest Fragrances. Luxury, people. Sir Elton John apparently agrees because he has his own woodside garden aroma.
So, in a nutshell:
Location: 160 E. Joyce Blvd, Fayetteville; Phone: (479)435-6999; Website: coming soon; Follow on Facebook for information about upcoming classes (YES! there will be classes); Follow Pigmint on Instagram for floral inspiration. Hey, follow me too if you aren’t already:)
