On the Right Foot: A Cheerful Anorak, Cheddar and Green Chile Scones, Wine Windows & More!

Door County Wisconsin
A snapshot from this summer’s social-distanced weekend in Door County.

The Haunting of Hill House is now part of an anthology series and the second installment will be The Haunting of Bly Manor. It’s based on Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, which is one of my favorite pieces of literature I studied in college. I can’t wait!

This cropped red anorak is too cute!

Repot your plants like a pro.

Italy is reopening “wine windows” that were originally used to serve vino during the Black Plague.

The New York Times published a thorough overview of how Breonna Taylor landed in the middle of a deadly drug raid. It’s a long read, but it’s the most comprehensive look at what happened surrounding her murder that I’ve come across yet.

The most iconic dresses from films.

This silk scarf is gorgeous!

I made savory cheddar and green chile scones last weekend. They were delicious! I don’t have a stand mixer and instead used a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter, which worked well. Also, a bench scraper was handy for cutting the scones into wedges.

Stutterheim just released a beautiful terracotta version of its flattering a-line raincoat. The brand runs true to size.

The Lips sofa turns 50 this year.

Keep an eye on this link for those plaid pillows to become available! I snagged a pair in a different color last year and they held up beautifully.

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.

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.
