Just in: Diptyque perfume

This perfume was the rare case where I received a sample and had to buy the full size. I’m not a big perfume person, but this scent is intoxicating. The black accents on the bottle and the hidden image at the back of the label are such elegant touches.

From the Diptyque website:

Paris in the early 60s. The Saint-Germain quarter was alive with the rhythm of all-night sessions in jazz clubs and artistic encounters. People would discuss the world, dance and laugh in a warm atmosphere as vibrant as it was elegant … Orphéon was one of the bars, filled with joyful effervescence, where the three founders of the nearby diptyque boutique liked to meet. Today, paying tribute to this era and to creative friendships, the bar is immortalised in the olfactory portrait that bears its name: Orphéon. Freeze frame: curls of tobacco smoke mingle with powdery trails of blusher, lingering on burnished wood. At the heart of the composition is the atmosphere of that unforgettable place, recognisable through the warmth of the tonka bean, the depth of cedar and the vivacity of juniper berries.

Kitchen Organization Part 1

January has been a no shopping month for me. As the pandemic is still raging, I also haven’t been on any trips or out to eat. Therefore, I have turned my attentions to cleaning and organizing our home, and our kitchen is first home. Some selective pruning and rearranging later, and these cooking/baking drawers and cabinets are ready to go.

When we were in Maine last fall, I went to the Le Creuset outlet and fell in love with the Marine color. I came home with a few pieces in that color way, along with a lilac grill pan. Is it possible to be in love with cookery?

We rented an adorable cabin for a long weekend upstate, and I really didn’t want to leave when it was over. The house had the cutest decor, and it was a great vacation away from the hustle of the city.

Can’t stop with the tomato tart
Found this beautiful antique wood table that fits perfectly in this corner
I love the barley twist legs
The perfect wax seal to send a note to a dear friend
I have been using these Mosser Glass jadeite candlesticks every night

since i barely leave the house these days, i thought i would take advantage of the parachute sale to buy some new linens for our bedroom.  the cloud cotton quilt and matching shams are so amazingly soft, and i love the rumpled white linen for summer.  i still decided to stick to the gray and white scheme, but the darker gray on the inside of the quilt adds a nice contrast.  i also like folding the duvet at the base of the bed, since it gives a neater overall appearance.

over the years, my favorite anniversary gift to give has been photo books by artifact uprising.  we have been fortunate to see some magnificent places, and this ensures that the photos just don’t live on my phone.  as a bookbinding freak, i love the fabric covers and thick, matte paper the company offers.  these are definitely books we hope to have forever.

flowers from the market, lipstick that came in the most stunning packaging, and a new floral paris inspired candle are some of the small things that are making me happy this winter.
