Weekend Reading:

  • Happy Cinco de Mayo! Celebrate with homemade margaritas, but leave the sugary mix at the store. Here’s all you need for the perfect marg. (This is pretty much the recipe I use, except I use agave nectar instead of simple syrup.)
  • I’m not sure it’s possible for me to love Gray Malin more than I already do, but this interview solidified my fan girl status.
  • It seems like I’m including a weekly pineapple item, huh? I like what I like! Here’s this week’s must have. It’s just $12!
  • This Tinder guy will provide for you. 😉 (Seriously, I’m so glad I never had to join that site. Fun fact: I met Dave on OkCupid!)
  • Kirby’s 48-hour guide to Nashville is the perfect way to spend a weekend. (Here’s my travel guide with a few additional must-dos if you’re in the city for a longer period of time.)
  • How amazing does Grasie look in her pajama-inspired dress?!
  • The Kentucky Derby is this Saturday. I love betting on horses probably more than I should, but I only do it on four occasions: when I’m actually at the track, Derby day, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. For the last three, I only put $25 down on the first race and use any winnings for the last two. (I’m pretty risk averse!) Read up on the Derby contenders here.
  • Who would have predicted that brow art would be a thing?
  • Zara’s jewelry is so good right now. I’m loving these orange fringe hoops and these rhinestone waterfalls.
  • This editorial explores why J.Crew’s vision of a preppy America failed, and its future isn’t looking too rosy with Jenna Lyons stepping down and a recent layoff of 150 employees.
  • West Elm is offering free shipping on select furniture for a limited time with code BIGDEAL. If you have your eye on any of these, buy them now! Shipping on oversize pieces really adds up.
  • Speaking of furniture, I’m crazy about this ultra glam outdoor chair.
  • This is an interesting peek into the lucrative “healing” gemstone industry.

ICYMI:

  • We lost out on another house, despite going $16,000 over asking. Sigh. Bacon didn’t care.
  • I’ve purchased a few things from this week’s “The Coveted” already.
  • New Orleans is more than just booze and beads! (The opening picture to the NOLA city guide is my favorite travel pic I’ve taken yet. There’s a good chance I’m getting that one framed for the new house whenever it happens!)

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

Find this and the other Schoolhouse items we’re using in the space here: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/bedknobsandbaubles/posts/e01ae8c9-38af-11f0-b5c2-0242ac11000b

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
