Come to think of it, this is a lot like a winter hygge list… cardigan/sweater or faux fur lined hoodie: alpaca cardigan from Timber View Farm Alpacas and Victoria Secret Pink Collection lotion/body butters with at home spa accessories I posted previously (see Pure Fiji and Sonoma Lavender Company) hot beverage: my favorites are hot …
Tempted by Crystal Temptations Candies
I was on line to pay for my snack and drink at Barnes & Nobles when these pretty little pastel candies caught my eye (strategically placed next to the register, might I add). I’ve never been the biggest fan of non pareils; not that I had ever turned any down either. These minty goodies taste …
Global Amici
Recently I bought a terrific tiered canister from Gilt by Global Amici. I use it to store holiday candy. Everything is kept well-protected and sealed. I really love it! It’s an attractive design too. I initially wished they had the four tiered available during that sale but the three tiered has proven to be fine. …
Holiday Pie Embellishments
Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! Happy New Year!!! I spotted these lovely piecrust cutters in the holiday edition of Williams-Sonoma’s catalog and was instantly inspired! Aren’t the pies just gorgeous with not too much effort even?! I ordered a set of these holiday cutters and a fall leaves version. I’m going to get back into …
Just Tomatoes Etc.
They finally arrived at my local supermarket! Just Tomatoes Etc. The perfect trail hike treats and delights to satisfy your munchies! I love Just Bananas and Just Mango best so far; better yet, mixing them together in one bag =) *Photocredit: Just Tomatoes Etc.
Dedicated to My Beloved “The Goodie Jar”
Three recommends located in Manhattan & Westchester, New York: Economy Candy: Stocks old-time favorites (oldies but goodies)… I was so happy to find this shop! I can’t even recall how I did; perhaps a colleague found out about my love of sweets and mentioned that I should pay this shop a visit =) I ended …
Sugar Art
Belle de Sucre, Paris takes sugar to a whole other level. How beautiful these bon bons would look presented on a pretty Victorian plate at high tea or in a handmade and lusciously decorated gift box to someone special! Too bad that these lovelies are not offered in the US yet :(. I did find …
Creature Comforts on A Gloomy Wintry Day
Butter cookies with a large glass of milk is perfect for me. They’re not the healthiest snack, but in moderation, they are some kind of wonderful =). I’ve always liked the pretzel shaped butter cookies the best (haha, even though from the Royal Dansk cookie tin- they really are about all the same). I bought …
Almond Roca
I was at the store today and saw my favorite childhood candy, Almond Roca. It’s still the best after all these years, out of all these possible choices in the world- better than Lindt, Godiva, Martine’s, Vosges. Since I’ve been allowing myself to have Sunny Seed Drops, I was good and didn’t buy it, but …
Sunny Seed Drops
Sunny Seed Drops are so tasty! They’re sunflower seeds covered with chocolate. I’m addicted to them. I usually keep a small container of them in my handbag in case I need a quick snack.
