Weekend Links on Bedknobs & Baubles

I hope your weekend is off to a great start! We don’t have a lot on the agenda this weekend other than getting a jump on some house and yard projects in preparation for warmer weather, and bike shopping! I’ve been using Dave’s sister’s old bike from the ’90s and it’s not the best. It definitely needs maintenance work, but as one of my friends who is an avid cyclist pointed out, bicycle technology has improved dramatically since then and it might be time to invest in a new one. So, he’s roped into helping me look for a bike that I’ll actually use — with the added challenge of finding it in white or aqua because prettiness matters, too. I’m having a bit of sticker shock, though, and I’m hopeful I can keep it to $500-700, which might be unrealistic. Wish me luck!

Weekend Links:

  • A study suggests that it’s harder to be skinny today than it was in the ’80s, even with the same calorie intake and exercise.
  • Five fashion films you might not have seen before.
  • Who needs jewelry with this bag on your wrist?
  • Have you been watching the newest Project Runway season? I was skeptical about the show without Heidi and Tim, but I’m actually really into the reboot. I miss Zac Posen’s eye for construction, though.
  • I’m adding this to next week’s menu.
  • The science behind why we love to watch old episodes of our favorite shows.
  • Does your style need a palate cleanser?
  • America blew it on arugula.
  • Seven classic short stories to add to your reading list.
  • I can’t stop thinking about these wear-with-everything pearl earrings for summer.

Finds Under $50:

  • One of my favorite planters has been restocked. I have it in white and just ordered a duplicate for a new plant.
  • Such a great beach tote.
  • Snag these earrings before they sell out.
  • If your budget doesn’t allow for the Loeffler Randall twist-knot mules, try these.
  • I’m a sucker for a simple summer dress.

Earlier This Week:

  • Coveting lighter hues for spring.

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!
