Weekend Links on Bedknobs & Baubles

Weekend Links:

  • Kate Spade’s passing touched many of us this week. Her pieces were oftentimes our first foray into the designer fashion world, and what a fun and imaginative world it was! A couple of my favorite pieces of remembrance can be read here, here, and here. (As I was writing this, I just learned of Anthony Bourdain’s suicide. I’m stunned that we lost two creative greats this week.)
  • According to a piece in the New York Times, “a majority of women, and nearly half of men, say it’s unacceptable to have dinner or drinks alone with someone of the opposite sex other than their spouse.” And it gets more shocking when it comes to business meetings. Read the study here.
  • I have a crush on these studded sandals.
  • Lydia looks so cute in these pics. (Isn’t her vintage bag absolutely perfect?)
  • A blueberry-pecan galette looks like the ideal summer dessert.
  • Bats take up residence in a Portuguese library to aid in book preservation.
  • I just learned that Getty Images has a site to purchase framed art prints. Check out the Slim Aarons collection, for example.
  • Decluttering? Don’t just put things in the donation pile without first seeing what they might be worth. Here are some of the items that hold resale value.
  • Tips on how to feel confident in a bathing suit.
  • A bit of patio inspiration to get your deck in tip top shape.

Finds Under $50:

  • A butterfly top looks like a perfectly breezy way to beat the heat. (The colorway I like is actually $2 more, but I can’t resist those sherbet-like hues!)
  • I love the knot detail on this pretty cami.
  • Oversize beaded flower earrings? I’m in! (If you’re in the market for a more modern statement earring, check out these.)
  • This dress looks a lot like the one I wore here.
  • A sleeveless sweater is such a great wear-to-work option for summer.

Earlier This Week:

  • The best dress to beat the heat in Austin.
  • Crazy about the affordable net bag in this week’s “The Coveted.”
  • Practical tips to prep your car for a summer road trip.
  • Mini moments from last month.

For You…


I’ve had my eye on these graphic earrings for awhile and now they’re even more tempting at $50.

For Home…


This drink table is perfect for small spaces when you need a place to perch a cocktail. Plus, it doubles as a plant stand!

Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve Phone nooks don’t get the attention they deserve. They’re practically begging to be used as built-in displays for ceramics! 

(I removed the phone jack, pulled the wires back through the hole, and patched it up, so it’s no longer functional for a landline. I assume a future owner won’t miss it either!)

I can’t believe we’re celebrating our fourth C I can’t believe we’re celebrating our fourth Christmas in the house! I’ve taken a version of this photo each Christmas to serve as a timeline of the small changes over the years. One thing never changes, though: I think our Christmas tree is the prettiest. 😊 I hope you have a wonderful holiday in however you’re able to celebrate this year. 2020 has been difficult, but we’re in the home stretch now! Sending lots of love your way!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. #c It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite famil As my holiday gift to you, enjoy my favorite family cookie recipe now on the blog! (Find it via the link-in-profile or search for "sugar cookie.”) It never feels like Christmas until I’ve had my mom’s sugar cookies. In a typical year (or even an atypical one like 2020!), I’ll spend a couple of days working on these — baking them the first and decorating them the second — and it immediately puts me in the holiday spirit. Not only are these nostalgic for me as she’s been making them my entire life (there’s even a photo of me, no older than 2 years old, sitting at the kitchen table “helping” with them), they’re hands-down the best sugar cookies I have ever had. And plenty of people agree with not-so-subtle hints to make them each year.

It never really feels like the holiday season unti It never really feels like the holiday season until I’ve made sugar cookies with my mom’s decades old recipe — and until I’ve risked a food-borne illness by snacking on raw dough. I shirked the holiday tradition last year after having been too busy with holiday travel (ten days in Belgium and a long weekend in Chicago left me too busy with other holiday to-dos), but there’s zero excuse to put off baking this year. #AlwaysHome #QuarantineForever
Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... the Buffalo plaid packages tied up with string ... these are a few of my favorite things. 🎶 (I don't think Julie Andrews would mind tweaking the lyrics a little bit, right? 😉)

Pro tip: Instead of looking at the gift-wrap section for things to decorate your presents, hit up your local craft store. I bought a package of 75 jingle bells, a dozen mini bottlebrush trees, and twine in seasonal colors for just a couple of dollars each. (The wrapping paper is from Target.)
