My dear friend + cousin Maggie (whose beautiful farm wedding you may remember from the summer) has had quite the year. Just days ago she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who I cannot wait to get into my arms to snuggle, and fill my lungs with that luscious newborn scent.

A few weeks before he arrived, Maggie sent me a couple pictures of his nursery. Maggie and I share a love for mixing the old with the new. Most importantly, nostalgic touches that remind us of our roots. And her nursery does that, too. Old vintage pictures of family and a silver hair brush that belonged to a great grandmother. A sheepskin draped over a modern rocker. The mallard stool that used to sit beside our grandmother's bed.

I asked Maggie to take a few more pictures and thought I'd share them here with all of you. I love little sneak peeks–and a new baby nursery most of all. Not only that, Maggie is my knitting hero. This baby boy is wrapped in love and handmade knits. 

Thank you, Maggie for somehow managing to navigate the new waters of motherhood, and send me pictures of your beautiful nursery. You are an amazing mama. I know it!
