Heidi and Morgan’s outdoor wedding was so lovely, filled with the sweetest natural elements, natural floral arrangements and bouquets, and an underlying farm-meets-woodlands feel that pulled everything together in the prettiest way.

Colin and I started our day with what I will remember as one of the happiest runs of my life. Us, Morgan, Emily, Spencer, friends, and soon-to-be new in-laws.

Upstate New York.

Up up up we ran into Minnewaska, followed by the guys all plunging into the lake. I’ll hold it with me forever.

That day that Morgan and Heidi were married.

What a special day this wedding was for us. To be together, celebrating how much we love these two and the fact that we’re all becoming one big family.

These things run through my mind….

      ….what a gift it is to find the one you love

and to love their family too…

To feel the flutter in your heart when you think of forever..  . .      ….     .

And that’s a wonderful thing.

IT'S ME, SERENA!

I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by Native American Indians.

I spent my childhood days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home. My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent’s thriftiness and style, I gained a knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.

Now I’m married to my husband, Colin, and our children are all grown. After 24 years of producing The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I'm spending time visiting other markets around the world. You can watch episodes of Serena Goes to Market here.

I share more about my life story from time to time, here on my blog. You can also find me on Instagram, and Facebook.
