It always feels magical when an item, experience, or interaction we hope for appears in our path- I guess this stove is kind of all three! The tomato seeds to boot made me smile, I can picture the sellers and you vibing and them wanting to send you off with an unexpected little bonus gift to go with the stove...

The flow of your intended layout is really satisfying, hopefully it's not too much of a to-do and you find the secondhand bricks you're looking for!

When I lived in a tipi, I had a wood burning stove and really loved it... There is something about snuggling up warm after splitting and stacking the wood before coaxing the fire to life 😍 Cheers to warm toes and awesome finds 🎉
