So, I officially found a new place to live! It is funny how a new place makes you want almost all new furniture. On my list of “musts” includes a new sofa, armchairs, table top, curtains, light fixtures, skirted bedside tables…..and importantly, a new bed.

I am in the process of revamping my logo. I want my potted boxwood to reflect everything that my taste and posts represent. Recently, I just saw a preview of my new logo and I can’t wait to reveal it to all of you! I have many reasons why I named my blog The Potted

Well, the time has come to get on board with the holiday train. October is the month where all of the festivities officially begin. Get your pumpkins carved today because tomorrow you will need your grocery list for Thanksgiving, and the next day it will be time for your Christmas list shopping. While in the
