Blanching Roses

is a nod to my two girls — the two most consistent things in my life over the last ten years.

This space is for me, and for anyone who has ever felt like they were somewhere between falling apart and barely holding on. For anyone who’s been guilty of comparing their life to an idea once created at the intersection of Mansion, Apartment, Shack, or House. And for anyone who has ever felt personally victimized by DIYs that looked nothing like they were promised. I’m excited to share how I’m making my Pinterest board dreams a reality — by learning how to do just about anything, decently

about me

An ISTJ who, at thirty-nine, decided to back away from the world of produce and step into real estate—a move, albeit industry adjacent, that felt both necessary and scary at the same time. Other incredibly wise decisions Linda has made over the years include being a mom to three—Blanche, Rose, and Kenny—and convincing herself that you’re never too old to learn something new. By combining her self-taught carpentry skills with her life-long dream of sewing drapes, she feels 2026 will bring the much-anticipated completion of her primary bathroom remodel. If executed successfully, she intends to use this time for other well-planned and well-thought-out ideas. Once a grand champion dish winner at the annual Vidalia Onion Festival, cooking and entertaining come easy, but what matters most is simple: a well-seasoned meal, everlasting ferns, and Reese’s cups hidden in the back of the freezer.
