What a day. I got up early this morning and headed back home to Meadow, North Carolina for Miss Dae Wood’s event Christmas at the Barn 2025, and it was truly such a joy. I had my little station set up inside the barn tying bows, selling wreaths, and getting to create custom pieces right on the spot. Almost every bow that went home today was one where someone picked their ribbon and I tied it right there in front of them. There is something really special about making something with your hands while talking with the person it is going to.
I loved getting to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones. Being able to talk to everyone in the community, hear stories, talk, and build those relationships is the reason I love doing this so much. It makes the long days worth it.
A huge thank you to Miss Dae for inviting me and for putting on such a beautiful and successful event. I had so much fun and I am grateful to have been a part of it.
And I have to say this too because it is true every single time. I could not have done any of this without the help of my mom. My best friend, my favorite person, and the one who always shows up for me. I am thankful for her more than she will ever know.
Here is to a wonderful day in Meadow and to everything still ahead this season. 🎄✨
