If any of my brides are looking for a local cookie artist for your bridal showers or weddings…. Well any occasion for that matter—Check out Rae’s Cookies! She is amazing!!

06/09/2022

Well, since some of you have drove by and seen the work being done outside, I figured I would at least post that improvement! We cleaned up the bottom half of the barn with black paint and flower boxes. The parking lot has been freshly grated and flowers will be planted next week, along with the welcome sign. She’s getting prettier by the day! 💞

06/02/2022

Y’all!!!! When I tell you this transformation is going to be unbelievable, that’s an understatement!!! The renovations going on right now have absolutely exceeded my expectations! Originally I was going to post updates along the way…. But now I’m thinking that a final reveal once it’s complete will be well worth the wait! So, so, so excited!! Gimme a couple more weeks, stay tuned… 😉
