Links I Love: Week 35 Year 2026

How is it already the end of August? This month flew by in a blink, and September and sweater weather are just around the corner. I had a few stressful moments this week, and by Friday night, I crawled into bed before 9 and have no regrets. Friday and Saturday, I spent time with the fabulous Space519 at both their new Wilmette location and downtown for their French Flea.
Calendar proofs arrive Monday and orders will ship after Labor Day. Henri is excited about the increase in our UPS visits for treats and dropoffs. Thank you for your patience!
