Five Things

November 12th, 2010

{A pink tufted chair at the flea market}

Far too often my weekends are spent doing things that I simply don’t have the time to finish during the week.  Unglamorous (but necessary) things like laundry, vacuuming and buying groceries always manage to interrupt a lovely Saturday afternoon, which never sits that well with me.  Somehow amidst a ton of work this week, I managed to get all of those things done and I can’t wait to relax and take advantage of the warm weather we’re supposed to have this weekend.  Here are five simple things currently making me happy right now…what’s on your list?

{Chopped bittersweet chocolate for homemade ice cream}

{My new Abominable Snowman-esque jacket for winter in New York}

{Our fireplace that I can’t wait to decorate in metallics for the holidays}

{A new stack of cookbooks that I ordered for some culinary inspiration}

    Something that made me terribly happy today… Lanvin for H&M.
    “Terribly” being the operative word due to being a geographically challenged Australian who is without access to said H&M store. Bad times! x

    These photos are inspiring! Especially the cookbooks. I’ve been getting a lot of recipes off the internet but nothing beats flipping through a cookbook. Especially if it has lots of excellent photography, too…

    The pick chair is something to die for. I love button down chairs/sofas. They’re just a classic and the pibk shade makes it so Marie Antoinette.
