Loooove this, Carmen! So excited to meet everyone in the garden and hang this summer. What a magical space it will be! Actually, I was just writing to Lyndsay (I can't figure out how to tag her!) that I am drawn to the romance and lushness and beauty of the garden this year - more than any other in the past. So, this is exactly the space I was looking for - thank you! xx

so glad you feel the same Liz! Lyndsay’s recent post on gardens were beautiful weren’t they? I don’t think we can tag in comments :(

When I had the idea of the garden party I knew it was time to open the chat I love garden parties and hosting people but didn’t know how to translate this to substack. And now I already have substack chat party themes for the other seasons 😂

Omg. I am so in for the seasonal substack parties. Yessss! I am actually trying to think of how I can open up chat as a place to meet for a weekly ceremony/ritual (seasonally related, of course!) 🌀

And thanks for letting me know that it wasn't just me that wasn't able to figure out the tagging thing. Whew. 😘

I love your subscriber Chat Mika! 😍

I never felt “ready” always worrying no one might join but when I had the midsummer party inspired thread idea this week, I knew I had a theme and was ready to “host” 💃 and I guess we’re never fully ready. I trusted that eventually I’ll have an idea for it that I like

Oh Carmen, this sounds wonderful! The image was exactly what popped into mind when you said summer garden party 🥰

Yay so glad! I was nervous about sharing the image but felt like it’s better than sharing photos where I never know if I get into copy right trouble I rather create my own. 😅 the

floating hammock makes me crack up but so glad you like the vibe, Jenna!

Thank you for the encouragement xx

Ahh yes, that’s so true! I guess the ones that Substack have to use are okay, but sometimes they don’t quite match the image we have in our minds.

😂 I feel the floating hammock just adds to the magic xx

🤣 true I shouldn’t be so critical and maybe see the floating hammock as magic, thank you for shifting my mind here Jenna! 🥰

I haven’t explored the substack pictures yet I read somewhere that it was a recent feature release or am I late to the party of substack stock images?

Ahh you’re welcome! ✨

I’ve been using the stock images since I first started using Substack, so they’ve been around for a while xx
