🍂 My First Dollar Tree Fall Haul of 2025 🍂
Hello Folk of the Hollow!
Everything about today was a surprise. I hadn’t intended to go out shopping, and I hadn’t intended to write a post about it today—but earlier today I talked myself into venturing out into the village to check out our local dollar tree to see what they’ve got out on this beautiful August 2nd.

A Plant Haul! 🌷🌱
Last Saturday we went to the absolute cutest little outlet plant nursery.
Since last autumn I’ve been mentally planning my garden—how I was going to design it, what kinds of plants I wanted, romanticizing the idea of sitting out on my porch in the early mornings with a book in my hands and a nice hot cup of chai tea on our little garden table—and now that the warmer months have finally rolled in it was time to get started at last!
