2. these flowers.
{for getting to play with them and getting to gift them.}
3. these bobby pins.
{and requests for heidi braids from faye.}
4. this flower frog.
{for salvaging even the tiniest stems.}
5. this blanket stack.

niceness…is fleeting, hollow and performative.

Hi! I am a huge fan of your weekly roundups and the links that appear at the bottom, but I’m wondering if you could indicate which links lead to sites with a paywall / that count how many free articles one can read before they cut you off (like the New Yorker or the NYT). Thanks!
Hey there! If you hover over the link it should appear in the lower left hand side of your browser that will let you see where it’s going!
On my Google pixel phone, if I just hold the link, the web address pops up. I too would love to see the source just listed in the link though, because sometimes I forget. My library now has a service, where, if you enter from the library’s site, you can look for free, without limits. You can’t just go from here though. But might check your library for that.
I’d love to see,
From the New Yorker, a way to simplify
From Smiiten Kitchen, soup to warm up winter
Etc.
Oh man guys. Sounds like you need to start your own blogs!
Fantastic links! Thanks, Erin
Hello Erin!
I’ve been reading your blog for years now and was wondering if there was ever a specific diffuser for essential oils that you have mentioned in the blog? I attempted looking back but couldn’t find anything and wanted to ask. Thank you so much!
Nope! I’ve never had a diffuser! I put drops of oil directly on my pillow or mixed into carrier oils etc!
Hi Erin. Where is the beautiful blue blanket from?
It’s the underside of a quilt from Block Shop!
Thank you for this post! I really enjoyed it. Have been inspired to return to heidi braids this weekend.
Hi Erin,
I was wondering what was driving traffic to my webshop and I had a tip from a customer that it was your blog. Thank you for featuring my candle holder! I’m really pleased that you like it.
Best,
Vivian
Love your work! Found through Allison Samuels!
