The Dreslyn Tarot Deck + Guidebook

Hi, I’m the girl who took a deck of tarot cards to church camp and was promptly reprimanded by my counselor. That is to say I’ve always been intrigued by a wide range of belief systems and not one to believe something just because someone says to.

The Dreslyn Tarot Deck and Guidebook sets are the collaborative efforts of The Dreslyn and Kati Forner, who took what is almost always ornate in design and pared it down to a stunning minimalistic look. Each includes all 78 traditional symbols as well as a concise guide book, allowing a novice or advanced reader to interpret the suits, symbols, and card meanings. Choose from the Rose Gold Edition or the Silver Edition.

House Plant Mobiles

After a brief stint with a green thumb it seems mine has reverted to its black ways. Only last month I managed to overwater my favorite Christmas cactus – pieces just rotted and fell right off! Maybe these brass house plant mobiles by Natalie Joy would be better suited to my tendencies.

Abeego

I reuse plastic food storage bags more than once, and admittedly sometimes plastic wrap as well. Since recently discovering Abeego I might not have to for much longer though. Abeego is a reusable beeswax-coated wrap that protects food and lets it breathe just like a lemon peel, onion skin, or cheese rind. The result is naturally fresher food. Each wrap is washable and will last up to a year when properly cared for.

Backyard Spaces

City Farmhouse

Aside from the guest room and a planned flower garden for the front of the house, the actual yard part of the backyard is all that’s left to take care of at my house. I’m forever futzing and rearranging but those are the only larger projects, and I think I’ve been delaying them for just that reason. I’ve taken care of the decks but I want the entire backyard to feel like an extension of living space. These spaces have accomplished that in spades and are full of inspiration!

Ridges

If you love geometry and color Ridge is for you. The range of wall mounted shelves are available in both portrait and landscape, while the coordinating trays are made from the knocked out pieces of metal. The shelves are powder coated in different colors on each side – sulfur yellow and pure white – while the trays are signal blue and dark blue or tomatoe red and wine red.

Muesli 12 Ways

Muesli, aka raw oatmeal, came into my life several years ago on a business trip. I was looking for the healthiest option at the hotel’s grab and go breakfast and went for it, having no idea what I was eating other than cold oatmeal. But I really liked it and noticed how it kept me full for a long time, atypical for breakfast foods and my body. I’ve since made muesli for myself and am always looking for ways to mix it up and take advantage of seasonal fruit to add in. Check out these twelve recipes and let me know, are you a fan?

Dreamy Daybeds

Emily Henderson

Around the age of 10 I wanted anything in my bedroom other than the twin canopy that had been handed down to me. I had my sophisticated eye set on a white metal framed daybed, you know the kind with the gold finial balls on each post? In other words, the cheap one. My grandparents had offered to buy me a daybed, just not That One. Off to the furniture store we went, eventually settling on a real beauty – cherry wood, scrolled head- and footboards, spindled back. After I moved off to college the day bed was retired to my Grandma’s spare bedroom, where it still sits in wait for me to one day (hopefully) hand down to my own daughter. All of this is the longwinded way of saying how thrilled I am that daybeds are having a moment again!
