{Thank goodness it's Saturday...}
It has been more than five weeks since I have shared a quiet weekend at home with my family. We have been on the road, hosting visitors, celebrating birthdays, etcetera etcetera etcetera, every week since sometime in early September. I get exhausted just thinking about it! So, as you can imagine, today's quiet start to the weekend feels like a reward, and it's the perfect time for a little reading, relaxing and--most of all--catch up! Below, a few items of inspiration from the past week...
{I've been inspired by...}
My grandmother's jewelry. She was such a special lady and she loved a good accessory! I keep a few pieces from her jewelry box on my desk and I always seem to find inspiration when I look at them.
Little things like these tiny rose gold friendship bracelets. I recently made these for my girlfriends but I think they would make great bridesmaid gifts, too.
{Weekend reading...}
It is surreal to see the cottage we rented this past summer featured in the November issue of Coastal Living Magazine. Makes me miss those long August days in East Hampton
{This week I learned...}
How to clean my rubber rain boots. This was a super exciting discovery because I hate it when they start turning chalky and white. (That white stuff is called "bloom" by the way...)
All you need is a dab of olive oil or ArmorAll to bring your rain boots back to life. It is seriously that easy!
{I'm shopping for...}
A hard gold belt to add a modern edge to my winter dresses, and a long line cardigan to keep me warm on windy New York City days...
{And a couple of links I love...}
