Hi Friends! After 2 years away, we are moving BACK to Wisconsin! And we cannot wait to do life with all of you!! We will be arriving around the 18th of October (date subject to change as we will be roadtripping!) A little timeline of events happening in October: - ship our container of furniture and belongings from Germany to Wisconsin on October 7 - fly from Germany to California - pack up our shop in Redding, California - drive the shop from California to Wisconsin - settle in to our new place! Since our belongings will be shipped in a container and won’t arrive until the first week of November, we would deeply appreciate some love as we get settled in! Things we would love to borrow until our items arrive: - Wooden blocks for our 11 month old to play with, or other age appropriate toys for her or for Asher (6) and zayn (5) - children’s books until I can run to the library! - stainless steel or cast iron cooking pan - stainless steel soup pot/saucepan - air mattress or floor mats until we can purchase a guest bed to sleep on! - down comforter or quilts for the first few nights - sheets (we all share a bed, currently) - a lamp so we can avoid the overhead lights after sunset, until I can thrift some of my own! or some salt lamps - maybe some cups and dishes until I can thrift a few to hold us over! - camping chairs until we can get dining room chairs! If you have plants in your home and would like to bring a cutting or two from them for me, I’d LOVE to start my Stateside plant collection with bits and pieces from friends! 🌱 We would also welcome meals and drinks for those first days as we recover from the flight and drive, work through the residual jet lag, and get settled! Meals are welcome, as are simple ingredients and groceries for us to snack on. We would also welcome help with moving our shop items in, and tidying our spaces. Tasks may include: - unloading the moving truck - Mowing the lawn - setting up shelves - putting together work tables - wiping down the surface areas in the house - installing contact paper with Becca in the kitchen - installing a sink at the shop and dishwasher - making the shop cute (hanging ferns, decorating support; I’d welcome ideas for decor!) - installing the garden (raised beds, soil, fence will be installed in spring!) - planting autumn plants - making the house live-able until our items arrive! We also would love to hug you and squeeze you and also say hi to new faces as we settle in. Please stop on by and hang out! Bring some firewood for a bonfire, and a lawn chair or two! We are excited to call Wisconsin “home” again. 🤍 Note: Becca’s 32nd birthday is on October 22 Zayn’s 5th birthday is on October 24 and we may have a little party to celebrate!
