Happy Friday + Labor Day Weekend!

I’m ending the week with some fancy and favorite husband accessories.

Hope you don’t mind.

Striped socks + oxfords (via 100 Layer Cake):

Love this collection of bow ties (visit their blog):

Wools ties – I am dreaming about autumn and winter days (via A.P.C.):

Inspired by this photograph:

Bravissimo!

As you may (or may not) know, we moved, down-sized, and after two months, I am *still* in the process of tossing, selling, and donating items.  Most of our items fall under the “tossing” category.  You name it, and between husband and myself, we most likely had a collection of it.  That may be slightly exaggerated, but it’s probably closer to the truth than you think.

One example is our small collection of magazines and department store catalogs from the 1960-70s.  Yes, these will be filed in the recycling bin (sorry, husband!), but I am grabbing some pics before I toss them.

The photos below are straight out of a 1970 issue of Redbook.

Italian…chairs…love!

Oh, also, if you are interested, I posted a few more photos from the same magazine here.

Heat Wave

Daydreaming about swimming in one of these lovely pools…

The photos are from here, here and here.

Outdoor Napping

This sounds really good:

Clockwise: urban balance cove, tranquil paradise hammock, and llanfair blanket

A little eye candy for the soul…

I discovered veraprimavera via Spoonflower and instantly fell in love with her photos and talent for making children’s clothes and accessories.

Check out Anja’s blog and her shop.

Enjoy!

My “Namaste” Kitchen

Our favorite restaurant in the Petaluma area is Namaste Kitchen.  The best Indian food ever.  We have been ordering the same thing for the last year (or so it seems) – saag paneer, chicken korma, and garlic naan.  I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

This evening, I decided to change things up a bit and cooked my first Indian dish at home.  Chicken tikka masala.  I used this recipe.  It may not be authentic, but it was simple to fix and really, really tasty.

When my husband came home, he said, “it smells like Namaste in here”.  Hehe.  *grin*

Oh, and I received an another order via Etsy – yay!

On their way to the Netherlands….
