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

August 31, 2020 by jessica Leave a Comment

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.

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!

This renovation sure had its moments of frustratio This renovation sure had its moments of frustration, but I’m blissfully heading toward “renovation amnesia” as @em_henderson calls it in her new book. Head to the blog today to read about two headaches that came at the tail end of our main bathroom remodel.

I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bat I am just the happiest! I keep looking at this bathroom and thinking how lucky we are that we were able to do this! It wasn’t always easy to navigate the stressful moments, but the end result is worth it. I feel like I’m at a luxury hotel every time I shower! (And it sure beats showering with the spiders in our [basically unfinished] basement bathroom. It was like camping in our own home for the past six weeks — and I very much hate camping!)

More photos to come!
