House and Home
White Porcelain Quiche Dish
This is a quiche dish but it can be used for so much more. I mostly pull it out for desserts or making baked/warm dips. I love that it comes in two sizes.
Woven Placemats
An easy way to give your table that layered look. I use them alone or on top of tablecloths.
Blue Willow Salad Plates
These look great paired with either the Blue Willow or your favorite white dinner plates. Add red gingham napkins and woven placemats for a great summer look.
Gingham Napkins
These work great with the Blue Willow plates for the perfect summer table setting.
Friendly Village Dishes
I adore this classic, English pattern. I have vintage dinner and salad plates in and use them for both my Thanksgiving and Christmas tables. The vintage pieces can be found online or in antique stores but this popular pattern is still being produced and can be bought new.
Chafing Dish with Glass Lid
I love using this when entertaining. It’s a step up from the wire chafing dishes with disposable pan.
Down and Feather Pillow Insert
I use these to switch out pillow covers for the season. A trick I was taught: buy an insert one size up from the pillow cover in order to get that full, decorator look and feel.
Eddie Bauer Flannel Sheets
I’m a total flannel sheet convert because they are so soft. I have this set for our guest room.
Blue and White Lidded Jar
These lidded jars look great alone, but I especially love to group them in differents styles and sizes for a bigger impact. At 18″ this jar is a great size to anchor a grouping.
Blue and White Ceramic Garden Stool
I have one of these that I use on my patio for most of the year, but I love how these can be used indoors anywhere you need a place to set a drink or a book.
Books
The Soul of a House: Decorating with Warmth, Style, and Comfort
Who doesn’t love a beautifully decorated house, but what really inspires me is a house with a soul. This book captures that so well.
Style and Simplicity: An A to Z Guide to Living a More Beautiful Life
The loveliest lifestyle books with dozens of simple ideas on everything from Adirondack chairs to travel journals to unpolished silver. This is a smaller coffee table book and makes a wonderful gift.
Personal
OPI Cajun Shrimp Nail Polish
My favorite polish color for years. Perfect for summer but I wear it year-round.
CC+ Cream with SPF
7 products in one, including foundation and sunscreen. I love this for the coverage it provides and the high SPF.
Mineral Sunscreen with Built-In Brush
A dry, mineral sunscreen that can go over makeup. I love the built-in brush.
Travel
Packable Visor with SPF Protection
This visor goes on every beach or lake trip with me. It comes in lots of colors, rolls for easy packing, and has SPF protection built in.
Mobile Charger
Tom gave me this for Christmas and it was the gift I didn’t know I needed. No more nervously watching my phone battery while traveling!
Hanging Toiletry Bag
I have used this hanging bag for years. It lets me see everything at a glance and saves room on bathroom countertops.
Quilted Travel Tote
I love this bag for traveling on airplanes. It’s the bag I place under the seat in front of me. It holds all my regular purse items, plus the extra things I travel with.
