Lightning bugs always bring back childhood memories of chasing them and catching them in jars, a simple pleasure that makes warm nights feel magical. On top of that, after weeks of waiting, my hydrangeas are finally in full bloom. I’ll be sharing what I did with those blooms soon—stay tuned for ideas on styling fresh flowers throughout the home.
