How fun are these ripple glasses by Sophie Lou Jacobsen? They’re a bit expensive at $25 each, but I could see using one as a bud vase to brighten up your work-from-home desk!

My new favorite Instagram account: @cats_of_brutalism.

Have you taken part in the Instagram photo dump trend?

Inside the pizza culture of Naples.

We have a new pandemic obsession ’round these parts: at-home espresso! We talked about getting an espresso machine for awhile now, but didn’t want to spend a ludicrous amount of money and, yet, didn’t want something as simple as a Nespresso machine. Dave did a lot of research and we opted for the Breville Bambino Plus (in stock here), which has an attached milk frother. It sounds like a robust introductory machine that will last us several years. Of course, my old $40 coffee grinder isn’t going to cut it anymore and now we need to upgrade that before our espresso adventure can truly commence. I’m pretty excited about our in-home café experience, though! If you have any tips, please share!

I enjoyed Emily’s deep-dive into the Shaker style.

I’m tempted to pick up a collection of colorful, sculptural glass candle holders.

Loving this plaid raincoat.

In case you missed it:

• Last week’s “The Coveted” is essentially my spring wish list. (I especially love the gingham purse that reminds me of vintage lawn chairs.)
• The items I bought and loved at the end of December and throughout January.
• Not a bad place to spend a snow day.
