Links I Love Week 43

This week, I embraced the colder temperatures and colors of Fall in my neighborhood. I have enjoyed short walks and admired the changing leaves and ivy. My fleece has become a Fall staple in my wardrobe. I cooked recipes in my new Ina cookbook (thanks Peggy) and listened to jazz while I worked at home. My life has slowed down so much in comparison to last year’s travel schedule.

Step Inside a Magical Boiserie Atelier in Paris

I just discovered this site called Only on The Avenue which has the cutest dishes for your kitchen!! I am making a wish list, dreaming of future dinner parties. You can buy each dish individually so if you are solo or just have a small family at home, you don’t have to buy a huge set of dishes. Mix and match is always my favorite way too. I ordered this pink butter dish, this bon appetit towel, and this green coffee cup.

Now that the weather has turned colder, I have been drinking more tea at home. I love Rooibos which is caffeine-free and I just ordered this from Palais des Thès which is their holiday rooibos.

All about the intense Bonne Maman jam. I didn’t know this was a thing until this week.

P.S. My Boll and Branch blanket arrived this week and I love it. It has been keeping me warm with these colder temperatures. I reached out to them for a coupon code and they happily sent one over in case you want to try them. It is an investment but I have owned my Boll and Branch items for 5 years and the quality has held up. I keep adding little additions here and there like new pillows and a duvet comforter. I will share a home update with all the changes this coming week. Use the code 50REBECCA at Boll and Branch for $50 off $200 or more.
