Wednesday Miscellany

Hello, hello. Thank goodness it's Wednesday. While sitting in the Apple Store waiting for my computer to get fixed at 9AM Monday morning, I turned to my sister and said, "wait, it's only Monday, isn't it?" For a moment there, I was convinced it was the end of the week. I think I'm just getting excited about Thanksgiving--only a little more than a week until one of my favorite holidays arrives!

Speaking of Thanksgiving, we have some tips for making the day special on Holiday:

When I need a distraction from planning our feast, here are some of the things that have been keeping me busy:

Scout and Catalogue

The dreamy photography may have a little something to do with it, but it's the hand-dyed Mexican textiles and gorgeous leather goods that are making me swoon over Scout and Catalogue (found via Wit + Delight).

First read this and then tell me you don't want to run out and buy the book from your local independent bookseller. Sure, we can't all be as elegantly wasted in real life, but that doesn't make it any less fun to read about it.

 If I must be afraid of the dark to get these ceramic nightlights by Wendy Jung, then you'll find me cowering in the corner.

Hooray! I loved this show. I'm so glad it's coming back for a second season.

Oh, and time is running out to sign up for the Spread the Cheer gift exchange. Wouldn't it be fun to watch the handmade treats trickle in during the first weeks of December?
