five little things that made my week:
1 . these hooks.
{because more is great when it comes to hooks around here lately.}
2. this peppermint.
{ready for drying.}
3. these otherwordly photos.
{for offering sweet comfort half way along.}
4. this thrifted dress.
{because grammy always finds the best stuff.}
5. this pool schedule.
{printed, taped to the back of something pretty, and hanging from the fridge.}
other things:
“archaic, primitive, prehistoric.”
now i just need a confetti cake sweater of my own. (!!!)
“the internet still thinks i’m pregnant.”
perpetually fond of blues and creams and browns.
a special treat for newsletter subscribers coming this pm…

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the word “otherworldly” used more accurately.

congratulations!
I’m also due in winter with my third, so exciting!
I wish you a healthy and relaxed pregnancy!
“Having children isn’t for everyone, but offering up old school sexism isn’t useful to anyone.” AMEN.
So many gems in that piece!
Someday I will muster up the patience to go thrift-store shopping
Congratulations! I’m due in January, exciting times! Wishing you all the best!
The HRC post that HONY just posted, “I am not Barack Obama. I am not Bill Clinton…” is SO. GOOD. And I so enjoy your newsletter. Thanks for posting the feature on Nelson Molina- the Times covered his story about 4 years ago and my hubs read it at about 3am and was out the door before 4am to go find the guy. He took a quick (rough) video on Nelson then and what he thought about collecting and the sudden fame: https://youtu.be/xlFUe0eo5qc
Have a great weekend!
I remember that piece is so good to see more! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Erin……The vintage dress…..It’s lovely! I am such a huge sucker for corduroy and floral. Is it a dress with sleeves? Or more like a romper style? So, so cute! 🙂
Little sleeves!
Ohhh, I bet it’s SO cute!!
I’ve been looking for hooks just like that. Have a source, or thrifted?
Oh, sorry! Here’s a link!
Should you have been sending a subtle message with the internet says article, my heart remembers 26 yrs ago, before the Internet, when the Christmas cards had to tell a ” different ” story. First time to post. Regardless of anything. You. Are . Fierce. From the Bourbon Trail, I am a fan. Lora in Louisville.
Taping the pool schedule to the back of something pretty is genius!
Congratulations! Recently discovered Reading My Tea Leaves and have been so enjoying it! Wishes for a happy & healthy pregnancy!
I admire Lisa Lucas so much! Thanks for flagging her interview.
Wow, you and I must be kindred spirits. I love your week in objects posts because these are similar to my street find post. Every month when tenants are moving out, I scour the streets for goodies. Because I can’t bring everything I see home, I photography them and then offer up ideas on how they can be reused or upcycled.
Hillary’s comments resonate with me so, so much–when I was in graduate school, with a series of misogynistic supervisors and committee members, protecting and editing myself was a tricky (and not entirely successful!) business.
How do I sign up for your newsletter? I can’t find the magical button.
Just scroll to the bottom of any page and there’s a gray box that says “subscribe to the newsletter” with an email field!
