If you haven’t already heard, let me introduce you to my newest hobby, Christy B’s Barnstand. It’s my take on an honor system roadside farmstand. When naming my farmstand, I decided to keep with the “B” theme after Christy B Photography and this blog, It’s Me, ChristyB.

Pure summer magic. As the sun went down, it was even more magical. Remember my garden arch fairly lights? They were the perfect backdrop as our outdoor dinner came to an end. A perfect summer evening and a simple way to make an ordinary...
