That’s a Wrap

May 21, 2018 by jessica Leave a Comment

Another weekend has gone by and another house project has cropped up! This time it’s a leak in our kitchen ceiling that started during a heavy downpour early Sunday morning. I had gone downstairs to make coffee in the morning and discovered a wet floor, even though we didn’t leave a window open. Once the rain started to pick up again, I realized the trickle was coming out of a light fixture in the room. So, we have to call roofing contractors this morning to sort this mess.

On the upside, we were able to spend Saturday out in Madison. We kicked off the day at the farmers’ market, walked over six miles, checked out a new-to-us place for brunch, popped into the art museum, enjoyed lakeside drinks, and capped off the day with a bike ride. It’s not often that we spend the day as a tourist in our own town.

The Best Woven Bags Under $100

The Best Woven Bags Under $100

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that this summer’s “It” bag is a vintage-inspired woven one and, as is the case with many trends, these often come with an inflated price tag. Fortunately, there are plenty of on-trend, affordable bags to get your hands on this season. (After I put together this collage, I actually came across my favorite affordable woven bag: Caterina Bertini’s mini bucket bag. It’s lined with a drawstring pouch, has a leather handle, and comes in four colors.)

Clockwise from top left:
Sam Edelman Isabella Straw Tote, $74 | Hat Attack Macrame Small Tote, $95 | Caterina Bertini Metallic Fringe Straw Tote, $78 | Sam Edelman Milly Straw Minaudière, $86 | Buji Baja Woven Tote, $99 | H&M Straw Shopper, $25 | Kayu Mini St. Tropez Tote, $59 | Space Rocket Store Birkin Basket, $69

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.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
