Five Things

December 7th, 2012



{Calgel manicure + new teacup from Heath Ceramics}

I arrived in Toronto last night and absolutely love it here, despite the wintery temps. I’m in town for a book signing at Holt Renfrew tomorrow, so if you’re in the area, please stop by! I’m looking forward to exploring the city and returning home just in time to spend the remainder of the weekend with friends. In the meantime, here are a few of the things making me happy right now.

{A bay leaf wreath that makes our entryway smell woodsy and fresh}

{Glitzy earrings I purchased for a New Year’s Eve wedding}



{A marble pastry board for baking + photography}



{Seasonal sweets for this Sunday’s annual gingerbread house party}

    A bay Leaf Wreath sounds and looks just excellent! It’s always important to remember to please the sense of smell as well as sight and touch … Makes it more like an experience in 3D.
