TWO.  I often see these at flea markets and thrift stores, and this is a fun way to display them. (Also, I keep seeing Liz Marie on Hello Fresh commercials when I’m watching Hulu!)

THREE.  I pinned several of these one-dish meal ideas.

FOUR.  Brooklyn Decker and Andy Roddick’s mountain getaway. (It’s no shack.)

 

FIVE.  A fun Instagram account to follow. She posts snippets of her own design work and always finds the best before and after exteriors to share.

 

SIX.  Heads up: everybody’s favorite leggings and more Zella pieces are on sale here.

 

 

Good Things (January 2019)

Jan312019

During the holidays, I took a little break from sharing my list of good things, but it’s back and full of fun products (and one slightly creepy podcast) that I discovered during the month of January. Enjoy!

This $13 candle smells so yummy in my kitchen.

The simple jewelry (especially the ear cuffs) from this Etsy shop.

And these inexpensive hoops.

Hands down, my favorite liquid eyeliner. (Doesn’t flake or fade.)

I just started this podcast, and I’m hooked. I’m sure you’ll remember the case when it was in the news.

This cozy cardigan. (I’ve been living in it around the house since ordering a few weeks ago.)

Hate to talk about swimsuits now, but when you find a good one. . . (Full bottom coverage which I appreciate.)

This is a great little necklace for layering with others.

According to “the internet”, this is the red lip everyone is suppose to be able to wear. (I’ll vouch for it, but I do have to wear a lip balm with it.)

Did I mention that I like/love my heated massage pillow?

These $16 sneakers for my girls.

I found out about them through this Instagram account.

These comfy $24 slip-ons for me. (As recommended in the reviews, I sized down a 1/2 size.)

I’ll never be a Keurig convert, but I like this coffee maker so much I bought it twice.

 

 

 

5 Etsy Textile Shops to Bookmark

Jan282019

I always like to share good Etsy sources and sellers. I’ve personally used several of these and have had great experiences. Here are five textile shops you might want to bookmark:

The Pillow Cover Store: You can’t beat the prices on all sizes of pillow covers (and they’re having a sale with even more off today!).

 

Windows by Melissa:  I’ve used Melissa several times for roman shades and have always been happy. She does great work and is always super helpful. You can send your fabric directly to her and she can also help you source. It’s like having your own workroom without ever leaving your house.

 

RockinCushions:  Check out their $12-$14 pillow covers–most with low or free shipping. They’re 18″ which is the perfect size for a 20″ down insert. They also make IKEA chair pad covers.

 

Etsy pillow shop monograms

Southern Linens:  If you’re wanting to give your bedding a lift, I love this shop’s monogrammed shams. They’re a great alternative to the much pricier and popular Leontine Linens.

 

KLineDeco:  Looking for something special? I’m including this shop for their large selection of hard-to-find designer fabrics. They have some really pretty pillow covers. Splurge on one or two of these statement pillows and pair with covers from one of the less expensive shops I’ve included for a good mix.
