🍇✨ TODAY’S A RESTOCK + GRAPING DAY! ✨🍇

And yes… “graping” is officially a word around here 😂😂 because today I am in FULL grape-making mode!

Y’all have been loving these candied grapes so much that I feel like I make a mountain of them and somehow they disappear before I can blink. 😭🍇 So today, instead of setting up, I’m staying behind the scenes and BUILDING THAT STOCK!

🍇 Candied grapes getting made
🍧 Italian ice getting fully restocked
🔪 Fresh toppings getting prepped
✨ And getting everything ready to come back out LOADED!

For everyone who placed a grape preorder with me yesterday: I haven’t forgotten about you! 💕 I’ll be reaching out as soon as your orders are ready for pickup.

☕️🍧 TOMORROW — COFFEE CONNECTION!
⏰ Starting at NOON!

I’ll be pulling up RESTOCKED with plenty of our premium Italian ice ANDDDDD a whole lotta candied grapes! 🍇🍇🍇

Because apparently y’all have made it very clear that I cannot show up with “just a few” packs anymore. 😂

Thank y’all for continuing to show up, sell me out, tell your friends, share my posts, and keep me busy. 🩷 Every sellout just tells me to come back bigger and better prepared the next time!

Today we GRAPE. 🍇😂
Tomorrow we SCOOP. 🍧👑

See y’all at Coffee Connection! 🩷✨

🦥 SLOW SATURDAY

Why do we hurry-scurry through everything we do? Maybe better isn't always about finding a faster way to do things! Sometimes the old, slower way was actually just alright..and maybe even good for the soul.. 😉
Grinding the grain instead of scooping flour that's been sitting in a bag for who-knows-how-long..
Growing the garden instead of rushing to Brookshire's every time you need a cucumber..
Making supper from scratch instead of putting a packaged meal in the microwave..
Mending the hole in the jeans instead of spending more money on a new pair..
Knowing the person who made what you're buying instead of buying another factory-made product from a big chain..
Using things until they're worn smooth from years of usefulness instead of tossing them in the trash at the first little scratch..
Letting the children play just a little longer instead of hurriedly swooping them out the door..
Sitting down long enough to finish a cup of coffee while it's still.....hot...........well, we're still working on that one! ☕😂
Little Willow was built around a love for those simpler, more intentional ways of living! Not because everything about the "good ol' days" was better, but because I think there are some very good things we've hurried right on past..
Good food.. Useful skills.. Quality things made to last.. Knowing our neighbors.. Working with our hands.. And learning to be a little less dependent on convenience!
Maybe we don't need to go backward.. Maybe we just need to reach back and pick up a few good things we left behind! 💁🏻‍♀️

Happy Saturday, friends! The last Saturday before the 'ber months begin! 🤎
