About Me
My name is Jessica but you can call me Jessi or Jess if you prefer!
Wife. Mother. Designer. Keeper of chickens, turkeys & an old house. A few favorite things : Autumn. Winter. Coffee. Old Books & Photos. Fireplaces. Cotton & Linen. Antiques. Ribbons. Nature.
'The Curio Pantry' is what I design under. If you are not familiar with my designs they are a bit eclectic, mostly elegant & vintage inspired designs with a little cuteness here and there. I dabble with hand drawing so at times you may see some of that worked into kits.

Journaling: Well the short version anyway | We bought our first home in Louisiana March 2002. Soon after that got chickens, two goats, and then turkeys. The goats were Bam Bam and Pedals, who was supposed to be named Pebbles - but my oldest at the time being 4 couldn't quite say that - so she ended up being Pedals. We installed a wood burning stove (Vogelzang) and laid the antique brick floor for it. Many stews were cooked on that stove. We also made peach jam from the Georgia Belle peach tree in our yard, gathered local persimmons, wild cherries, and we grew a garden. Our homesteading journey had begun! We loved every minute of it. But after we moved to Kentucky in 2007, life was utterly different. There was less sun, it was colder, nothing seemed to grow for us, and everything that could go wrong - did. It took us years to figure life out here. Now we have chickens & turkeys and grow a garden once again. My herbal knowledge is much deeper than it was when I started out. I am grateful to have continued our journey. And I look forward to our next phase of this journey.
