The winter months always have me spending extra time in the kitchen, it must be the lure of a warm range. I’d be perfectly alright with these recipe cards and stamp from Yellow Owl Workshop joining me.

I had a dreamcatcher in my bedroom when I was about 12 years old. Because I also had a southwestern-themed room. Yup, that happened. But I can assure my dreamcatcher looked nothing like this one, or the one I plan to make myself using baubles that I actually like and/or mean something personal to me.

I’m all kinds of in love with Red Clay Home’s sleek and glossy ceramics. But they’re not limited to ceramics alone – all of the shop’s collections are designed, submitted, and voted on by the Red Clay community, and then winning designs are produced domestically from eco-friendly, recycled materials and sold online. They even have a 1966 airsteam pop-up shop called Studio Rojo! What’s not to love.

Salt and vinegar potato chips are my favorite variety, but I rarely eat them because of obvious reasons. And because of those very same reasons I’ve been stalking recipes for kale chips. Yesterday I finally found the time to cobble together some simple ingredients and try my hand at making salt and vinegar kale chips.
Ingredients:
• 1 bunch of kale
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 Tbsp vinegar (I used balsamic, but I think any would do just as well)
• 1/2 tspn kosher salt
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Start out by cutting the large center vein and stalk from the leaves and tossing it aside, then cut down the leaves into 2 inch sections.
Put them in a large mixing bowl.
Toss in the olive oil, vinegar, and kosher salt until all leaves are thoroughly coated.
Then arrange them all in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15-25 minutes, depending on how crispy/blackened you want to kale chips to end up. Toss them around on the sheet a few times as they bake to make sure they’re evening toasted, don’t forget to rearrange them back into that single layer each time.
When you’re satisfied with their crispness, take them out of the oven and put them in your serving bowl. Tada! They’ll be cooked down in size quite a bit, so keep that in mind if you plan on serving a crowd. One bunch should feed 2-3 people.

I’m on DIY kick. Well, not actually the doing part just yet but the planning to make lots of things and making a list part. This geometric wood garland just landed itself a spot near the top.

“Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginary horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fiercefull winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn’t weigh much). The girl was devestated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.”
Absolutely dreamy. See the other four horses here. (via Colossal)
