Good morning! My apologies for the limited December posts. The combination of work, holiday prep, and weekend jaunts to NYC and Texas have me strapped for free time. Plus, I have been busy getting things together for the Poplin & Queen website. Hanna over at Gadabout is a dream to work with. We should be [...]

Catching Up
I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. I know I needed it. I’ve had a cold that I can’t seem to shake. Feels very funny to say, but I’m taking a “sick day” today, which really translates to research, thank you notes, and emailing. I’ve been working on multiple photo shoots over the past two [...]
Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween! I wonder if anyone took it over the top this year and painted their door bright orange. Aren’t these great? … And a brief blog update: Currently, Facebook isn’t allowing me to post my blog to my page. All I can say is that I’m working on it, and hopefully I will be [...]
Surprise, We’re Taking You to Charleston!
William Darrough and Grayson Cheek deserve awards today. They surprised Lindsey Cheek with a birthday day trip to Charleston, SC. The four of us are road tripping down there this morning. I’ve never been, but I’m ecstatic about walking the streets and taking in all the history. If you have suggestions on things to do [...]
Monday Musings + A Winner!
Good morning! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I’m all about optimism on Monday — never mind the fact that the light in the master bath won’t turn on or that Sawyer chewed through another leash this past weekend. All that matters is that I have good news, great news, and a winner today. The good [...]
Honey, Lately.

Hello, Fall.
Autumn doesn’t officially start until September 22nd, but in Wilmington the air is crisp and the leaves are falling. And, hey, Starbucks is serving the Pumpkin Spice Latte. In my book, it’s fall! Just in case you’re stuck in summer-mode, here’s a quote for you: Psst … I have a giveaway coming soon, too! xoxo, [...]
This is a Loaded Post.
Let’s start with a quote. That always feels best to me. To sum up life right now … brace yourself. I need at least two americanos a day to keep up. Poplin & Queen a.k.a. Lindsey and I have procured our own little moving truck from local real estate agent Jessica Edwards. Her “Call Me [...]
Instagram Life Update
Labor Day was very refreshing. Sigh. I needed to slow down for a few minutes to enjoy the good things going on and forget the not-so-grand things. I would have taken more pictures, but this is pretty much what I did allll weekend. Lots of this going on … Sawyer Darrough has life all figured [...]
