Random thoughts on a Saturday morning with the sun hopping up over the horizon:
1. Can you smell fall?
Oh, good. Me, too.
I’m clinging to all the fall with the 100-degree temperatures around here. Don’t tell the other seasons, but it’s my favorite. All those fall bins are about to make their annual pilgrimage down from the attic.
2. Remember when I shared the local artist with you who makes wood houses and she made a house that looks like our house?
In amazing news—she messaged me and she’s making blue and white houses now, too.
I’m going to go down to the Antique Mall downtown to check them out. I’ll keep you posted.
3. I have something super exciting to share with you on Monday.
It’s something that’s never happened before (and probably will never happen again).
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about
- 10 best things I bought last month
- 9 mistakes to avoid when you style a bookcase
- Look what showed up in the mail
- This Nantucket travel guide
5. Have you heard quilted jackets are in for fall?
Hello 1992.
What are your thoughts?
6. Also—in fashion news I just ordered a pair of jeans with a GIANT CUFF. Have you seen those? They are supposed to be really in for fall—but here’s the thing. I’m really, really short. So the whole cuffed jeans may not work for me.
I’ll keep you posted.
And now?
