Links I Love Week 49
The past week has been nonstop craziness, but all in a good way. I am rushing orders out the door, and Henri and I swapped our walks to UPS to drive to get everything delivered! The last day to get your holiday orders in for The Print Shop is this Sunday, December 10. This allows me to catch up and have additional wiggle room to expedite any holiday orders. I will be slowing down later this week and cannot wait to bake in my pajamas and nap!
I took some time away from work for my annual mammogram downtown. If you haven’t scheduled yours, take this as a friendly reminder to make that appointment! I met my friend Tammy downtown for our holiday celebration that we do each December. It was so great to catch up, laugh, and soak up the festivities in the city.

I added this serum concentrate to my beauty routine after Credo sent it to me. OMG, it’s that good. I have been using it religiously and learned it sold out before I could share it with you. Well, it’s back in stock, and you will thank me. Rub it between your hands and warm it up before pressing it into your skin. It smells incredible, too.

I received my tote bag, It is prefect size and love the white Everyday Parisian writing on the French blue. Your shipping is always well done (efficient and secure)! I got my calendar Paris 2024 earlier this fall and now the tote. Way to go in 2024! Merci et Joyeux Temps des Fêtes!!!
Thank you so much, Nathalie! I appreciate your kind words. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season. xo
I have the staub in teal and navy highly recommend and agree the darker color is so much easier to keep clean. I’ve been buying the Madewell earrings I’ve bought three pairs and have 3 others on my wishlist. They’re are great quality and the weight is perfect. Thanks for another terrific Sunday post it’s my favorite part of my Sunday especially with a pup named Oliver on my lap. Have a wonderful week and please give Henri a big hug for me and a virtual greenie from Oliver.
Thank you, Jo! Henri sends kisses to your pup Oliver. xo Have a great week!
I visited both Versailles and Fontainebleau and definitely preferred the latter because we were allowed to see so much more of the rooms than at Versailles. We took the train from Paris and the ride times seemed comparable to me, so if someone can only do one day trip, I recommend Fontainebleau. Although, if you are more into the gardens, you may prefer Versailles.
