Happy Friday 3/6/20
Happy Friday! How are you doing? My twin sis and I turned 38 this week. Eek! It really snuck up on us. Do we call it middle age? Late 30’s? Garrett gave me a working pantry sink for my birthday, which is exactly what I was hoping for :)
Oh the pantry…I’m a little smitten with it! And quite frankly a little surprised by how smoothly it’s coming together (knock on wood that doesn’t change!). It’s so close to done that I got to bake this well-loved lemon cake on the baking counter this week. I brought the cake to Nana’s for a joint birthday celebration and she made this dinner skillet (which I have to mention because it’s bonkers amazing)!

This is why I love Patagonia so much. Well that and the fact they make great clothes (like my favorite undies, cozy fleece, winter-weight tights, and wear everywhere pullover). (Instagram, backcountry)
One of my favorite kitchens of all time…and the rest of the house isn’t bad, either 😉 (homeandgardens)
The gallery wall we have planned for the pantry and all the vintage art we bought for it. Still crossing our fingers that those landscapes arrive from France before we leave for our Spring Break!
Six rules from a frugal economist to help you find the perfect lunch spot, every time. This is AWESOME! (theatlantic)
How our solo homes became cocoons. The idea of making a home into a place for others, as opposed to one’s self, is falling out of style. (curbed)
This made me smile this morning and then I had to read it out loud to Garrett (and explain what Elizabeth Gilbert wrote and how Julia Roberts factors in…)! (instagram)
Have a great weekend!
