Online goodies this week:
I'm going to make this for holiday presents! (and hopefully leave the staples out. I made granola as a gift for Andrew a couple of yrs ago and he found a staple in his bag of granola and thought maybe I was trying to kill him. I was not.)
I mention them every year, but have you ever seen Mariebelle hot chocolates and teas? Gorgeous, if you're looking for a lovely gift for someone this holiday season.
Check out this VERY COOL Kickstarter Math Kit for kids!
Fabulous home tour, and scroll down to the end - THAT SOFA. I really think I would live on that sofa if it were mine. My sofas are so blah. I'd love to throw all caution to the wind and go wild with a print like this!
A whole lot of Star Wars games and toys from my pal Erica.
Candles, candles, candles for the darker days.
I'd love a copy of this book!
5 food lessons learned from children's literature.
This post was a lovely read, looks like a great recipe, and I loved the photos.
Cool Book of the Week: 'A Tower of Giraffes' by Anna Wright just looks stunning. A gorgeous collection of animal collage art, along with the interesting words by which certain groups of animals are identified, like 'a romp of otters' or 'a drove of pigs'. The animal sketches and the fabrics used to color them are totally unique and so beautiful! One of those 'gift-worthy' books.
Have a lovely weekend! As always, if there's something cool that you're reading, eating or watching, I'd love to know about it!! Julia wants to start decorating for Christmas, but I think we need to at least wait for Thanksgiving weekend. xo

I love that granola idea! I might steal it from you! I hope this week is better, so sorry there's been so much bad lately!
ReplyDeleteisn't that granola fabulous looking?? thank you thank you! chinese astrology (cue my husband laughing) says things have to be bad before they can get better, lol :)
DeleteI'm with Julia - I'm soooooo ready to decorate for Christmas! I am so sorry to hear about your bladder condition. Is it Interstitial Cystitis? I have IC flare ups from time to time - actually for the past week... Ugh. This has been an issue for me for the past ten years. If you want to chat more about it - I'm here.
ReplyDeleteyep, that's what it is! i've had issues for years but it's getting worse as I get older. I'd love to chat more with you about it! we can exchange tips and tricks. i'm actually seeing a new gyno-urologist today. :)
DeleteJulia, if you see this, email me! Because I can't find your email - had an interesting doc visit, happy to chat with you any time :)

ReplyDeleteHe reminds me every year now, about that time that I tried to kill him......:)
DeleteYES to the Annotated Little Women!!! On my Christmas list! And I LOVE that sofa, too. Just... wow. I never knew I wanted a print sofa until now. Love the food in kidlit post. I want everything on that Mariebelle website. Holy @$%! And the Local Milk granola looks wonderful. I don't want to eat staples, either, by the way. (HAHAHA!)
