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 …
The Midori Traveler
Being that I’ve been a very big fan of paper-based planners, it is no surprise that I became enticed by the Midori Traveler. I found out about it through one of Tracy Reinhardt’s a.k.a. Crazy Suburban Mom’s earlier You Tube posts. While I don’t use this wonderful cowhide leather buildable notebook as a traditional organizer, …
Lovely Leelah
While at Cape May, I also ventured into a cozy little spiritual store, named Good Scents, filled with many exciting new things I haven’t really seen anywhere else yet =). You can also find further info about the shop’s variety of incense here. In the back was a Leelah hoodie I instantly feel in love …
Faery Fanaticism
My faery fanaticism began with a book recommendation from my friend, Sylvia. She suggested none-other-than Signe Pike’s amazing book, Faery Tale. Following this was Grasslands Road’s fairy homes set, fairy-themed garden decorations, and other great books by Brian Froud. I will admit several years ago I fell in love with Cicely Mary Barker’s Fairyopolis and …
Life-Savers: Bookends for Heavy Duty Standards
My husband found these bookends online for me. They are a real gem of a find too because I was using regular metal bookends (which can be purchased at Staples, etc.) for my shelving. Honestly they didn’t work out too well due to the large number of binders I keep and were also less appealing …
Other Noteworthy (Luxury) Planners…
My three favorite personal size planners other than those by Filofax are from Anya Hindmarch, Kate Spade, and Louis Vuitton. They are a bit pricy (some more so than others) but if you are a serious planner-keeper or “Filofaxer” looking for something a little different, you can consider these a worthwhile investment that you’re bound …
My Little Pony Suggested Guides…
Just a few good reference books I’ve come across over the past couple of years. I’m glad Summer Hayes and Debra L. Birge took an interest on this subject. *Photocredit: Amazon.com
My Favorite Gardening Supplies…
I’m sorry I meant to post about my favorite gardening supplies (not all are necessities, some are frivolities) a lot sooner than this. Well here we go… Sphagnum moss cone-shaped hanging planters Lined metal scrollwork window boxes Trowel Spade Weeding fork & dandelion weeder Bulb planter Mister Gardening shears/clippers Flower/Rose cutters MiracleGro Plantone (fertilizer for …
Fashion & Cooking’s Common Thread
I saw a copy of American Fashion Cookbook offered during a Gilt sale and although I currently have ample cookbooks, I had to have it! What could be better than perusing through recipes which have helped fuel the creative forces of some of the world’s most amazing fashion designers? My only qualm is that Katherine …
Comfort Food: A Selection of Traditional Recipes Like Your Grandma Used to Make
Thanks to my mother-in-law’s gift of a new recipe book, I am once again armed with an arsenal of great stuff to try =). So far I’ve made the Sausage & Tomato Stew and the Cheese & Spinach Lasagna. Both pretty tasty; and even better, simple to make! This is an absolutely wonderful book for …
