It works like this: feed the beeswax coil on this candle through the clip- around 3 inches (for one hour of candle burning) or more or less depending on exactly how long you want the candle to burn. Perfect for control freaks like me. $29.95 from Linens ‘n Things »
I’ve just added these dangly earrings to my Amazon wishlist. Yes, they’re from Amazon, of all places. They’re green amethyst on 14k white gold- and because they’re dangly, they’re perfect for when I put my hair up- which, in this hot weather, I’ve been doing a lot more. $79.99 at Amazon.com »
Let’s celebrate my return to blogging with a dress, shall we? Now, more than ever, I’ve been wanting to wear nothing else. There’s just something about a dress that simplifies life, one perfect piece of clothing that needs nothing more than a great pair of shoes.
Right now, I’m crushing particularly hard on this lovely red dress from Anthropologie. It’s called the Romany Flower Dress, and is $168 at Anthropologie »
April, which brought two deaths in the family and some problems at work, was not a good month for me. It’s why I’m only just updating my “I Can’t Get Through…” list (over there on the sidebar), and why I’m so glad it’s May.
It’s at this time of the year that our garden looks most beautiful, with flowers in bloom and grass so green it looks like a picture from my home office window. This inevitably makes me want to bring some of the outdoors inside, drawing me to things like these Tree Oil Lamp Shadow Projectors
.
These oil lamps cast shadows on your walls- and as the flame flickers, the shadow moves like a light breeze is rustling its branches. Available in Nest, Magnolia, and Pine for $48.00 at Uncommon Goods »
