Links I Love Week 32
It is one week down of painting and only a few more weeks to go. Our bedroom has a nice refresh of deep blue paint, and our bathroom feels like a spa. My office has moved like musical chairs around our house, and I look forward to putting it back together in the original location this weekend.
The desk looks great against the pop of color. I will eventually do a fun gallery wall above my desktop computer.
This week, I started my Amalfi Coast Guide, which will debut soon, along with new Italy prints for The Print Shop. I am waiting for the second edit from my printer to make the final selections.
I have a meeting for a very exciting project that has been on my list for years, and fingers crossed we can make it happen for holiday 2023! Stay tuned.

How you should change your workout once you turn 40 via NYT. My doctor recently brought this up, and you should have seen my face. I have taken her advice and am working on mixing up my cardio routine with yoga and pilates.
We had friends over on Monday night, and I made brownies on a whim for dessert. Growing up, I was a box brownie girl until I realized my pantry ingredients do a much better job. This recipe is simple and pulls together easily. I like to add walnuts for a flavor boost. Pair with your favorite ice cream.

For those who love historical fiction, “The Keeper of Hidden Books” was recently released and had great views. It’s on my to-read list.
My Quince sweater arrived in navy, and I love it. I have owned a Galleries Lafayette sweater just like this with buttons along the neck that was falling apart and this is the perfect replacement. One of the things that is great about this sweater is it isn’t cropped it hits below the waist.

Last week I mentioned the new Cuyana bucket bag, I saw they introduced a small zippered pouch to go inside. I am a big fan of the brand and love how you can mix and match different pieces. This will be my next purchase for my system tote. I needed a zippered insert that wasn’t too big and I think this is it!

This is a best seller with J.Crew and caught my eye. I ordered the sweater (in medium) for fall. J.Crew has changed their sale structure and a lot of items are excluded like this one and most of my saved cart.
Chicago friends, this is one of my favorite neighborhood floral shops. They just celebrated 50 years, and their story is interesting. I always love popping my head in here when I pass by.

I stayed at the Publishing House in Chicago a few weeks ago and highly recommend it: https://www.publishinghousebnb.com/. Great location, gorgeous decor, delicious breakfast, and two pugs that live onsite – Angus and Louie. What could be better?
Hi Linda,
Thank you so much for the great tip. This hotel wasn’t on my radar and I can’t wait to look into it. It sounds lovely!

I lived in Europe twice and each time I took my dog with me. Because of their size (retrievers and cocker spaniels) they had to travel in cargo. It was very very stressful and difficult for my dogs. If you were moving overseas and would spend a couple of years like I was then you don’t have a choice. But to make your dog go through cargo just for a vacation I would say don’t do it. Especially with delays, extreme weather etc . Just too stressful for your dog and too risky .
