Weekly Favorite Finds In Home Decor 4.25

April 25, 2020

This is the week where I got a little silly, and then needed to reality check with S, “Is this ok?.” S is always generous in her definition of what is in fact, OK. We arrived, in short order, at a yes, it is OK, that among my favorite finds this week are an almost inappropriate (and yet apropos AF) graphic tee, and the doormat of all doormats, for all the cool cats and kittens. My own answer to which is: yes, yes Carole did.

Weekly Favorite Finds: At-Home Projects & Quarantine Funsies

Oh, and now that the mask-making efforts forced our sewing machine out of storage, we’re on fire around here with all the fixing, mending, and creative work (that’d be my kids on Team Creative, I’m chief mender/mask maker.) I hated it for a few days. Now I’ve given in. Sewing is in fact fun. Did you see Lex’s post on masks? It’s a good one. Here’s my position statement on masks: too many instructions. I. just. can’t. Until I can. So I cut old t-shirts and leggings, sew seams and shoe laces on rectangles, and then throw a few tucks in the sides. No pattern. 15 minutes. Done. And kinda cute. I sew like I cook: no rules, make a mess, clean it up, it’ll all be great, kinda cute, and totally fine.

Speaking of kinda cute, did you see Cam’s sweep of the Anthro Home Sale? I love her so much and her, “for meeeeeee!” And her picks too, those are also as easy to love as she is.

More favorite finds and all kinds of unquestionably appropriate fun on sale for home below. I’m currently wishing for this sweet butterfly set…among my many wishes from sales below.

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/ 10

1/ Cool Beans » This was Cecilia’s gift last week. We are bean heavy around here. And loving this book, and especially the roasted beet and hummus bowl, black bean sopes, and black lentil crackers. Yum. This is a keeper.

2/ Le Creuset » Speaking of beans, the big one of these, is where we make all soups, chilis and sauces. It’s where we manage pork shoulder, and big chicken dinners, and all the bean things. No it is not inexpensive. Yes, it will last forever and pay for itself.

3/ The Cutest Little Mini Baskets Ever!!! » Speaking of Cecilia, these are her favorite of my favorite finds this week. They are TINY: 4″X4″. And so freaking cute. Handcrafted and local, through WE Makers section. And just so sweet!

4/ Adult Sewing Machine » Most similar to mine. Mine is old. This is the newer version of. And yes, kids can easily use it too!

5/ Kid Sewing Machine » For adult+me time. Or if there’s a kid in your house who will take the lead on this. It just has less stitch options, is easier to thread, and is more kid-size.

6/ Outdoor Rug » Comes in 3 sizes….AND IS ABSOLUTELY the DEAL OF THE DAY! Great price, super-cute, and who doesn’t need a little extra in their outdoors right now?

7/ Favorite Outdoor Lounger » This set isn’t inexpensive, it’s fairly priced, more so on sale, and can be 1+ ottoman or a set for an even better price. And S and I are both trying to figure out where we can put it right now. Low maintenance and super-comfortable.

8/ Quarantined AF Tee » I had to go there. And this is where I landed after a great search.

9/ Carol Baskin Doormat » If you haven’t yet Tiger King’d, just take the bait, give in and do it. Yes, it’s weird. Of course it is. Yes it’s real. That part is mind-blowing. And obviously she did.

10/ Wash Your Hands » It’s still a thing. And will remain so. Why not some pretty art to remind us?
