Have you ever heard of a couple doing a unity peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Neither have we! What a creative and fun idea. This couple was such a joy to work with. πŸ₯°

On May 1st we celebrate May Day. It's a tradition that has been passed down through generations and if you have never heard of it, maybe you and your family could start doing it too!

You gather a bouquet of picked flowers, assemble them into your own handmade basket (or you can purchase one) and leave it on people's door k***s, knock and yell "Happy May Day!". It's a beautiful tradition to start and a wonderful way to celebrate the beginning of spring and all the blossoming plants coming back to life. 🌷🧺πŸͺ»

We have witnessed countless weddings, so it was surprising that the last one of 2023 and the first one of 2024 both brought tears to my eyes! Both weddings were aesthetically beautiful, but most importantly, it was the immense love that radiated from both couples and the wonderfully kind and supportive families that surrounded them that made it truly moving. Congratulations to Sam & Hannah Talbot and to Jonathan & Laura Beaumont. May your love continue to burn bright!

As I've been picking up small tree limbs and debris from the yard my heart and mind are on the families hit by the tornado this week in the Webberville and Williamston area. I've had a false sense of security most my life regarding tornados, perhaps, because I've always lived in town and we rarely experience them. Silly really, because 114 years ago the house that we live in today and our chapel were either damaged or destroyed by a tornado.

The original St. Agnes church in Fowlerville was built in the 1880's and on May 15th, 1909, a tornado ripped through town, or cyclone as it was referred to then, destroying the church, the grain elevator, and damaging several homes and businesses. Parishioners were quick to rebuild (a couple of blocks from the original location) and construction began that fall. St. Agnes reopened in the spring of 1911, almost two years to the exact date of it's destruction. Worship continued in the new church until the 1970's, when a larger one was built for the growing congregation, allowing the 1911 structure to be sold into private ownership and for it to eventually become Kelmscott Chapel today.

Returning to the events of this week, I hope that we can find a way to assist the Dietz family of Williamston who lost all of their centennial barns, owned by the family for several generations. As someone who comes from a long line of farmers and as an owner of two historic buildings, I sympathize for the devastation they must be experiencing. I'm hoping that organizations like Michigan Barn Preservation Network or National BarnAlliance could be of some help. If anyone else has some ideas to support them, please share.

The weekend before last was quite eventful at Kelmscott Chapel! We hosted a murder mystery performance put on by Fowlerville Community Theatre Friday and Saturday evening (Death by Dessert). Then, with the help of the wonderful cast and their family, we quickly flipped the sanctuary and event space back to normal and held a memorial service on Sunday. The support and love from our community warms our hearts! Being able to do such events makes us so happy. This was our second theatre performance held at our site and both shows sold out!



Thank you all so much. If you are ever looking for a place to hold an event, tie the knot, or need a weekend getaway at our Airbnb - please contact us!
