Happy June, and welcome to the Spring edition of the Tales of the Traveling Tote. This edition of the Tales of the Traveling Tote has taken me to Mackenzie-Childs, and Miss Aurora is packed for Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons.
I thought I would include a couple of the other National Parks that Miss Aurora has travelled to since we won't start traveling again until mid June.
Who's ready for dining alfresco! We are warming up slowly and I am more than ready.
We typically have our weekends {roughly} planned out, but on a rainy Saturday Joe suggested we hop in the car and take a drive to the Finger Lakes for wine tasting and some early Mother's Day shopping at MacKenzie-Childs. Joe is on their mailing list and saw the new Emerald Checks (he actually reads their emails) :-) :-) So off we went. We got a 10% discount on our purchase by going on the Farmhouse Tour.
The Emerald Check is very pretty, and will be especially nice in an Irish household. Joe bought the tall vase which I look forward to using for garden blooms. I envision fall colors and pine branches for the winter.
We went on the Farmhouse Tour, and were delighted to see it was still decorated for Easter. I have seen it decorated for all the other holidays, but never for Easter.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of MacKenzie-Childs retail store and the Farmhouse Tour.
This is Joe's favorite room in the Farmhouse.

Yellowstone and the Tetons! Have a blast! I love that felted wool bison, too cute! The Aurora farmhouse is adorable in its Easter finery. Tell me, did you buy green sneakers just for the occasion? 😉
ReplyDeleteDeb, exciting news to know you are off exploring Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. My family visited often when I was a child. Our summer vacations were always to the mountains during those years. Fond memories! I'll be eager to see photos and read of your adventures.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit the MKC farm during the spring when all the tulips are in bloom. I admire MKC for their stewardship with the property. It always looks lovely! Glad you added the Emerald Check. I've not jumped in as yet, but it is pretty. I hope they will offer ceramics in this color. Happy June and happy travels!
It's always fun to see the Farmhouse! My daughter loves the Emerald Check and I started her collection already! Enjoy your upcoming trip
ReplyDeleteYou are Joe's best model:)Cute shots..I do love that house!
ReplyDeleteI love that Joe reads the ads and helps you have so much fun in all of your MC adventures. So glad I got to see the Farmhouse decorated for Spring and Easter. How charming. I love the MC talent for decorating and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time out here in the West again exploring Yellowstone.
Oh Deb, you and Joe are enjoying Mother Nature in so many beautiful parks. Oh wow, the Yellowstone and Grand Tetons! I always enjoy your photos, seeing you two enjoying life's wonders. I love how Joe is so sweet and is always thinking of you and what you might like to do. The farmhouse tour would be on my list if I lived near. Love the MC green, you will make it shine. Happy June Deb and Joe.........
ReplyDeleteWell, Joe definitely earns cuteness points for reading MacKenzie-Childs emails and planning a Mother's Day shopping trip to Aurora! I think the Emerald Check is so pretty, and it should be in every Irish home (including MINE) haha... Thanks for the tour of the farmhouse, and you were very lucky to see the pretty Easter decor! I would love to be able to visit Aurora again. When is the next sale? I also enjoyed seeing your photos from the National Parks. We are blessed to have such a variety of natural beauty here in America!
ReplyDeleteDeb, you and Joe do get around a lot. So many fun places to visit. You look so cute. The farmhouse looks so darling. Maybe one day, I can visit. The Emerald Check is so colorful and fun. Have fun exploring Yellowstone and happy June.
ReplyDeleteI love that Joe reads the MC emails!! You have a wonderful enabler ;) The Farmhouse is so charming. ♥
ReplyDeleteYes I did enjoy the tour of the store and especially the Farmhouse. What a great job they do of decorating and giving you inspiration. The outside area was so beautiful with all those tulips and pansies. You and Joe have more fun together. His green vase is so pretty and I look forward to seeing what you do with it. Enjoy the mountains, my friend. ❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Farmhouse tour! I especially love the "lamp people" lounging around :) You are so lucky that Joe is such a wonderful supporter of your MCK love, and happily goes along with you. The Emerald Check is so pretty, you will have a lot of fun with that!
