Summer Decorating Ideas, Fresh Flowers & DIY Lampshades (HSS #505)
Happy Memorial Day weekend, sweet friends!
This weekend always feels like the unofficial start of summer… full of sunshine, backyard gatherings, delicious food, time with family and friends, and maybe even a little holiday shopping, too. There’s something so special about slowing down and soaking in these simple moments together.

But in the middle of all the fun and celebration, I never want to forget the true meaning behind Memorial Day. Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving our country in the U.S. Military. Their sacrifice is something we can never fully repay, and our hearts are especially with their families this weekend as we reflect with gratitude on their courage and service. 🇺🇸
