Lately (via Instagram)


This week:

I finally spent some Christmas money and got this beautiful vintage Turkish kilim bag.....



I spent a little more money when I found the elusive middle bowls that would complete my Pyrex Butterprint set........



I made gnocchi soup for the first time and fell in love.  Keeper recipe.........



I also fell in love with a project the art teacher did with my class............



And I maybe ate a whole sleeve of thin mints after they were delivered......


But isn't that why they sell them just once a year? 

So you can gorge yourself silly? 

In order to brighten up a harsh winter?

(I know you agree.)

  2. What a beautiful bag. How wonderful that you saved your Christmas money and found something so YOU and so one of a kind (which, is also very YOU). Loved the pyrex. I especially love what the art teacher did with your class. How cool is that?

  3. Yes! I love the bag, and the Pyrex set is adorable. I wish my mixing bowl was part of a set, but it's just the lone wolf in the cupboard. I need to get more milkglass!

  11. Um, that bag is gorgeous! And I am so jealous of those bowls - I never see them anywhere!

    I am definitely eating girl scout cookies at my desk right now...

  13. I love the bag! Is it big enough to use for an overnight bag? Great find!
    I never knew that Pyrex print was called Butterprint. I only have one small piece - the small rectangle refrigerator dish with a lid (I have no idea what the official name is). I'd love me some more! Where do you store your lovelies?!

    1. IT IS!!!!!!!!! Actually, it's a piece of luggage! I didn't realize how big it'd be til it arrived!!!

      My nesting bowls are all tucked away in my vintage pie safe or an old general store cabinet I have!

  14. I'm sorry to say that this post has made me incredibly jealous -- of that fabulous bag, your butterprint set, and (perhaps most of all) your GS cookies! I tried to resist the GS cookies this year and now I'm regretting not ordering. I'll have to hit up one of those tables outside the supermarket. ;)
