1. this crescent moon of a pillow.
{for getting here. for smelling so good. for making sleep so much more comfortable.}
2. this glass knob.
{and the cabinet it’s attached to, rescued from a nearby neighbor moving house. more soon on the details.}
3. these tiny sparkles.
{and the light in this apartment between 2:58 pm and 3:07 pm.}
4. this very old drying rack.
{for hanging on just a little bit longer.}
5. these old throw pillows.
{side-by-side, instead of stacked. because sometimes all you need is to see things differently.}

The cookie recipes! And the peppermint salt. Mouth currently watering….
Seems like it would be a good idea to check the new cabinet for traces of lead paint.
always!
I’m debating ordering the crescent pillow. Did you get the bigger or smaller size?
i got the one i linked to! mini!
This year, my kids and I enjoyed making your handmade gifts. We have little cotton bags full of corded ropes, a potholder, homemade Nutella (from your site), homemade salt dough ornaments and some hand rolled beeswax candles. I was happy to help my kids create their family and friend gifts this year. I think it was more meaningful and If the recipients hate them, at least everything is compostable (or reusable in the case of the Nutella jar). Thanks for the inspiration. It made the holidays more enjoyable for me this year.
The crescent pillow was the best pregnancy accessory by far, took it everywhere! And then was an essential part of learning to breastfeed for the first time, literally did not leave home without it for the first few months. And now my 1 year old loves to play with it. Never knew I could love a pillow so very much.
