Rabbit Hill – Handmades & Happy Things by Jenn Tavoletti

May

Sunshine and warmer days have me gardening like a crazy person in little bits of time. I keep wanting to get out there early in the morning when the sun rises, but we have had such wet weather, it's not even worth it. Such is spring. For now, I prune, plant, and weed in passing, as I take quick walks around this little space of mine. Spring happens so fast. One flower show after another, but blink and it's gone until next year. It reminds me of a time-lapse video that I saw last year. It was amazing! (I'll add it below)

May and June will be busy months for us. Lydia has her last few dance recitals, prom, and then graduation ~ on my birthday! How special is that? I graduated on my birthday too! A busy and exciting month ahead. I probably won't have an update on here for awhile, but you never know. If you are in the Western PA area, some of my things will be at 1824 Walker Farmhouse's Spring Garden weekend, May 18 & 19, 10-4. I will be there on the 19th. Email me for details (jenntavoletti@gmail.com) I hope you can come!

As I have said before, I am still continuing to build this tiny space of mine. I want it to be a happy place for ideas and inspirations. To work at my own pace with creating. I hope you will keep on visiting me, as I share whatever is moving me at the moment. I can honestly say that the greatest joys in my life are not the things I own, but the relationship I have with God, my family, and friends - near and far. It excites me to have this outlet to meet many different people with many different stories. I am so thankful.

Handmade Lavender Pillows

Last summer, I bought scoops and scoops of dried lavender from my friend Audrey at 1824 Walker Farmhouse to make little lavender pillows. Not only do they smell wonderful, they are lovely to give as little presents. The thought of reusing worn fabrics to make something sweet in this disposable world is very pleasing to […]

Mini-Heart Pies

I make these little pies every year for my family… and myself! They are so easy and so pretty. I know I’ve said this many times, but I believe it true

Something new

I appreciate all of you! Last week, I opened up my shop for orders to see how it would go.
This was a little scary for me

Kitchen Reno on a budget ~ Painting with Chalk Paint

Recently, I refreshed my kitchen cabinets and posted a picture on Instagram. I had a few people ask me how I painted my cabinets so fast. Chalk paint! It is a wonderful thing.

The Perfect Loaf ~ Simple Bread that you will want to make over and over again

When Dino was growing up, his mother would bake many loaves of bread at a time. He reminisces coming home from school on bread making day and smelling the bread baking even before getting to the house. He remembers walking in through the side door into the kitchen and thinking that it looked like a […]
