The Queen's Treasures

Right now... I'm devastated. A country icon, a woman who came from less than nothing, rose to the top, and never forgot her roots is gone. Dolly Parton was not only incredibly talented, but incredibly kind and incredibly philanthropic.

I have never publicly revealed this before, but 9 years ago, I was so deeply honored to be asked to design and create a "Coat of Many Colors" Dolly Doll for Dollywood. Dollywood has sold thousands of this doll created for the next generation to learn her story.

Having made a commitment years ago to provide young children with strong, positive female role models, Dolly was a person whose story absolutely fit my personal company goal. To me, she is country music’s Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Cheers to you, Dolly. You lived up to your name and left the world a better place. 🤍🕊️

And I may be a "Queen," but let me assure you... we have no gardener and no landscaper around here. 😄

Truthfully, I don't consider myself much of a gardener at all.

But what kind of garden would a Little House on the Prairie lover create?

Here's mine.

I was lucky enough to find a couple of old wagon beds that had seen better days, and instead of letting them go to waste, we gave them a new purpose as raised garden beds. The rest is raised-bed history!

Being Italian, my wagons are overflowing with San Marzano tomatoes. My newest addition is what I jokingly call my "Off the Boat" garden bed, and if all goes well, we'll be serving up some delicious "Eggplant Off the Boat" later this season. Hopefully, there will be a "sea" of blueish purple flowers filled in by next year, looking like a wavy lake.

There's just something satisfying about repurposing a piece of history, growing your own food, and enjoying a little taste of simpler times.

What's growing in your garden this year?

The Ingalls family faced droughts, blizzards, crop failures, and uncertainty, yet they kept moving forward. Our challenges have looked different, but the lesson has been much the same: resilience matters.

As I celebrate my 65th birthday, I find myself grateful not only for the years behind us, but for the opportunities ahead of us. Through every challenge, you've encouraged us, supported us, and reminded us why we've stayed the course for nearly twenty years.

Some products may be retiring.

I'm not.

To celebrate, enjoy AT LEAST 50% off all retiring items, and thank you for helping us get to the other side of of every obstacle we've faced together. So thankful and grateful!
