Happy Friday 3/13/26
Happy Friday! I’m back from Charleston, and wow! what a city. It’s historic and warm and so beautiful and I can’t quite believe it exists in the US! My twin sister and I went on a whim to celebrate our birthday, found cheap flights, booked a hotel with points, and ate and walked our way through the city (36 miles in 3 days, I checked!). It was the best trip. The best city. The best company. Highly recommend! Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Some links from the week…
Charleston made me think of this Arthur C Brooks article: Find the place you love, then move there. “There is a word for love of a place: topophilia … it is the warm feelings you get from a place. It is a vivid, emotional, and personal experience, and it leads to unexplainable affections.” The PNW will always feel like home to me, but it sure is fun to find another spot to love!
A fashion trend I’m ready to jump onto!
Gah! the woodwork in Athena Caldron’s Manhattan apartment.
“The new way my kids do chores.”
My sister’s cute travel bathroom bag!
The 2026 Houzz kitchen trends report. Feels…expected.

Picked this novel up from the library on a whim and it ended up being the perfect vacation read!
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
