How we built this whimsical tree, start to finish in about 30 minutes.

1. Start with a pre-lit tree. Ours is 7 feet.
2. Tuck in droopy greenery swags. They make the tree feel fuller, more luxurious, and a little less traditional.
3. Add three ball garlands in hot pink, teal, and lime: one at the top, one in the middle, one at the bottom. If decorating isn't your jam, this one step does a lot of the work for you.
4. Cut ribbon into 9- to 14-inch pieces. Loop each one, then bend the tree's own limb around it to hold it. No floral wire or pipe cleaners, and nothing extra to store. Fluff it out and tuck it back in.
5. Fishtail the longer ends. Fold the ribbon over and cut up and away from you.
6. Add a few ornaments. We used light blue sherpa balls, big hot pink balls, and light blue and navy paper trees.
7. Finish the base with a Mexican wedding blanket instead of a traditional tree skirt.

The bow uses the same trick. Layer loops in three ribbons, each a little narrower than the last, starting with 4-inch ribbon. The different sizes are what make it look designer.

We can't take all the credit. Give .your.decor a follow on Instagram and Facebook. She's genius, and her ideas are so practical.

We found this oak table on Facebook Marketplace and knew right away it had more to give. A little sanding, a lot of primer, and a few coats of full gloss later, it's ready for its next chapter.

What are we putting on it? You'll have to wait and see. We're bringing it to Holiday Tables at Mark Arts on November 3, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Don't forget, we're giving away two pairs of tickets so you can see it in person! To enter, like this post, follow JWD, and comment below. Good luck, Peaches!

As always, we hope you have a purposefully positive day.

Bows are THE story this Christmas.

When we were at market in January, two things were everywhere: big bows and trailing ribbon. We've watched the trend grow all year, and it's one of the easiest ways to make a tree look designed.

Plaid, in every form. Plaid is huge this season, and you don't have to stick to just one. The secret to mixing patterns is scale: a bold check, a skinny stripe, a playful polka dot. Repeat each ribbon around the tree so it looks intentional, not random.

Whimsy is back. Christmas doesn't have to be serious. Whimsical trees are all about color, fun, and a little bit of the unexpected.

Our color way. For this tree, we went with hot pink, lime, and teal, then layered in texture: velvet ribbon, glitter, mercury glass, faceted acrylic ornaments, and a fuzzy polka-dot ornament. We finished the base with a Mexican wedding blanket instead of a traditional tree skirt, and its woven colors tie the whole palette together.

Want a tree like this in your home? Seasonal decorating appointments are open now.

Pink is the color of the season, paired with green and soft blue instead of classic red.
Emerald green is the standout green this year.
Whimsy is in. Pinterest searches for whimsical Christmas decor are up 810%.
Oversized bows are still going strong, and the bigger the better.
Plaid is back with a fresh, colorful twist.
Paper trees are trending again.
Handmade and vintage pieces make it personal. Our tree skirt is a vintage Mexican wedding blanket from an estate sale.

The takeaway for 2026: Christmas with personality. It's less about a perfect color scheme and more about pieces you love.

Well… here we go.

fernaCHer is going to look a little different these days. Less about selling you things and more about how we actually live with them. Good food, good design, entertaining, repurposing beautiful things, and whatever else happens around here.

Last night it happened to be a potato, caramelized onion & Gruyère galette. And yes, it was as good as it looks.

Welcome to fernaCHer everyday.

Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

09/11/2026

I remember when 9/11 happened. I was in seminary, or Bible College as the Christian nationalists like to call it, and we were called into chapel early that morning. We didn’t really understand why. They explained what had happened and then turned on the news on these huge antiquated TVs they had moved into the gymnasium. I sat there with several hundred other students and watched in complete horror.

I couldn’t get the images out of my mind. People standing in shattered windows and then jumping because of what was behind them. I kept trying to put myself in their shoes and understand that kind of fear and complete helplessness. What happens in your mind when you are in that kind of shock and there is literally no good choice left? I cried watching it. I couldn’t help myself. I remember going back to my dorm room and literally being doubled over on the floor crying.

A year or so later I ended up in NYC on one of those trips that just kind of fell in my lap. I remember flying in and seeing the Tribute in Light where the towers had stood. Once we were there I wanted to walk down to Ground Zero. I stood there looking at the flag that had flown on a piece of the recovered steel, listening to the jackhammers and construction going on behind the barriers, and even with all of that rebuilding happening you could still feel the sadness of what had happened there.

I can still feel it 25 years later.

Whether you believe everything happened exactly as we were told, believe something was planned within our own borders, or believe it was purely a cultural attack fueled by hatred, I’m really not interested in debating that today. That’s not my point.

What I am interested in is the evilness that propelled the outcome and the goodness that somehow existed right alongside it.

Because we saw both.

We saw what human beings are capable of doing to each other, but we also saw what human beings are willing to do for each other. Complete strangers helping complete strangers. People running toward something everyone else was trying desperately to escape. People opening their homes, giving blood, searching through rubble and doing whatever they could because another human being needed them.

And maybe that’s the part we need to remember right now.

Because our current situation is bu****it. There is so much chaos, negativity, cruelty, abuse and authoritarian bu****it coming at us constantly that it can make you feel like there isn’t anything you can do about any of it. It’s too big. It’s too loud. It’s too much.

But I don’t believe that.

There is a little spark in each of us that tells us when something isn’t right. That quick thought that says help them. Say something. Check on them. Stand up for them. Do something. Be better.

So what are you going to do with it?

What are you going to do with that small thought or inspiration when it comes? Because there really isn’t anything standing in the way of you being some of the goodness we saw 25 years ago.

We can’t let the overwhelming chaos and negativity and abuse and authoritarian attitudes around us squelch the love and respect and hope and joy that we all deserve. We have an opportunity to push strongly against all of it, but it has to become collective. It takes enough ordinary people deciding they aren’t going to participate in the cruelty and they aren’t going to sit quietly while it happens to somebody else.

You don’t have to save the world. Just don’t ignore your spark.

Do something with it.

It’s time.

DAY TRIPPIN’ | Eureka Springs 🌈

Yesterday was pretty much a perfect day.

We spent the afternoon on Beaver Lake, watched an incredible Ozark sunset and stayed out late enough to see a sky full of stars.

No real agenda. Just enjoying the lake, the views and being together.

Sometimes you don’t need a big vacation. You just need to get away for a day and enjoy where you are.

I’ve been thinking about the people who have helped me through this transition, and I need to say something about my friend.

Long before we ever decided to close fernaCHer, Hazel started helping me one day a week at the store simply because she loved being there. She helped with special events, made food, greeted people, served drinks, helped customers—whatever needed to be done. Nothing was ever above her, and she never expected anything in return. She never asked for anything. Never hinted. I’ve watched her work in ridiculous heat without complaining, usually asking, “What’s next?” or “What else needs to be done?”

And when I tried to pay her, she refused.

When we decided to close, Hazel kept asking if I needed help. Of course, I kept telling her I was fine and had it handled. Eventually, she stopped asking.

“When are you going to be there?”

She told me to let her know, she’d tell me her schedule, and she’d be there. And she was.

Closing fernaCHer has been harder emotionally than I expected. There were days when that increasingly empty store felt pretty lonely. Having Hazel there kept me focused, kept me moving and, honestly, just made those days a little easier. One day while the movers were there, I was overwhelmed. Everyone needed answers, decisions and direction. I was pushing myself to keep everything moving while also trying pretty hard to hold myself together. Hazel saw it before I ever said anything. She stepped in, started giving direction and kept things moving. No big conversation. No need for me to ask. She just recognized what needed to happen and did it.

That’s Hazel.

The funny thing is, Hazel and I don’t always see eye to eye ideologically—and we probably never will. But I’ve also been reminded through all of this that friendship doesn’t require agreeing about everything.
Dependability, kindness and loyalty aren’t ideological. They’re demonstrated. They’re showing up when it’s hot. They’re asking what’s next. They’re noticing when your friend is overwhelmed and stepping in. They’re helping simply because someone you care about could use another set of hands.

And expecting absolutely nothing in return.

That’s the kind of friend Hazel is.

fernaCHer may be closing, but thankfully Hazel isn’t going anywhere.

And I’m pretty damn glad to have her in my corner. ❤️

I’ve written this goodbye more times than I can count.

Friday, the last things come out of fernaCHer and we officially say goodbye to the brick-and-mortar version of something that started as an idea and became so much more.

I don’t feel like I failed. I feel an enormous sense of accomplishment—and, if I’m being truthful, I’m mourning a little too.

The last four years have been a trip in becoming. I learned how much fear had disguised itself as self-doubt and inadequacy, and I learned what could happen when I stepped out and did it anyway.

I built things that once existed only in my head. I became comfortable calling myself an entrepreneur. I learned lessons about business—and myself—that I could never have learned in a classroom.

And eventually I learned another lesson: knowing when the cost of continuing has become too high.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who was part of fernaCHer, but especially to my husband, William. You loved me enough to risk the security and stability that mean so much to you so I could find out what I was capable of. I will never forget that. Thank you. I love you dearly.

I don’t know what fernaCHer becomes next, but I know what will remain.

Community will be at its center. Respect will always be present. Love will remain its heartbeat.

Because there will always be a place at the table for everyone.

Thank you, fernaCHer. 💙
