There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a brand new lip balm/eye shadow/you can fill in the blank with your favorite beauty item. This week’s (belated) Favorites post is all about things for that wonderful “new beautifying things” feeling. I picked out a bunch of lovely things, perfect for filling stockings of making a little [...]
I tried a new brand of nail polish this weekend. The brand is called Butter London and they make dozens of beautiful shades all without harmful chemicals. There are so many pretty shades it can be hard to choose. I finally decided on golden West End Wonderland and the special edition, The Black Knight. They’re [...]
I have something extra lovely to share today! There tons of amazing historic photo archives on flickr, but the Brooklyn Museum‘s Paris Exposition of 1900 set is just breathtaking! These images were brought back by the Brooklyn Museum’s first curator of fines, William Henry Goodyear. According to the museum, “In 1900, Goodyear traveled to the Paris Exposition [...]
Happy Wednesday! Lots of things are making mine happy: wearing a brand new dress, my side up-do staying in place (thanks to a zillion bobby pins!), sunshine and chocolate covered pretzels. Maybe it’s the sunshine, but I’m feeling extra loving today so I had to work hard to narrow down what I wanted to share [...]
Happy Friday evening! I had plans to go out and see The Illusionist tonight, but they sadly fell through. (Next week for reals, Abby!) So instead I’m tucked up at home with a bit of a thunderstorm and a somewhat sickly puppy. It feels nice to be cozied up at home. Here are a few [...]
It’s a little hard for me to believe that March is here already! I blame all the piles of leftover snow. Springtime really isn’t too far off though so I’ve rounded up a few pretty, sunshiny things to share. I went through my closet this weekend and found mostly muted navies and browns and functional [...]
Happy Friday! I am so excited for this weekend! I have lots of fun projects to finish up and share and a good bit of baking and cooking and relaxing to do, too! But there are still a few hours between me and quitin’ time so to pass the time here are two sweet things [...]
Wow! Wednesday is here already! Maybe this week is flying by because I’ve been staying busy with little Valentine projects and preparations. I have two more projects that I am so excited to show you this week! But I’ve also been getting distracted by all the pretty things popping up everywhere, like this beautiful Valentine’s [...]
Tonight we’re going to Milwaukee to see Ben Folds & Street Corner Symphony! We found out about the show at the last minute and just decided to go today. We aren’t usually so spontaneous. I am so looking forward to it! Until then, I still have the workday afternoon to get through so I snatched [...]
The first time I saw one of Sarah McNeil‘s beautiful illustrations I almost couldn’t believe the sweetness of it. Each one seems so thoughtful and effortless at the same time. I could look at them for hours! I especially love the custom pet portraits she creates and I’m pretty sure I need one someday soon! [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
