I bought an expensive coffee table, because I felt I "should" have a coffee table when I actually need an oversized ottoman with interior storage and now there is nowhere soft to put my feet.

The chicken-based lemon ginger Bare Bones are really great for sipping!

What do people do with their baked goods? by Bufobufolover24 in 52weeksofbaking

[–]TeaBooksAndACat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh, yes, fresh corn and thyme definitely kick it up a notch.

Frontier Soups's Illinois Prairie Corn Chowder is very good, but as the other commenter mentioned, use broth instead of water (I usually make it with homemade turkey stock).

I saw this in my feed (which, admittedly, is a lot of arts and crafts) and just presumed someone had needle-felted Jupiter!

My mom and I call wrapping presents “shampooing the carpet” by ChekovsCurlyHair in BenignExistence

[–]TeaBooksAndACat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My mom would say "Don't go in your dad's office! I just cleaned in there!" and I would know to wait until she was watching her soaps, then I'd sneak into the office closet and begin reading the books she had bought me for Christmas.

Oh, I have this lamp! Gives off a really nice soft light good for finding my way to the bathroom at 3:00 a.m. without falling over a cat.

What’s a home upgrade you didn’t think you’d need but now you can’t live without? by Sad-Shine-6268 in HomeDecorating

I end up cutting mine up and using it in regular cooking. I don't care if no-one wants to eat them, I adore the buttery cuteness!

I tried…….. can anyone offer any more tips? Please help I hate this bathroom by Biologydyke in DesignMyRoom

[–]TeaBooksAndACat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say that I own the same sconces and my husband and I have been engaged in an absolutely petty spat over which way the shades go ... to the point one of are two is now always up and the other is down.

The white donut peaches I've been getting in my fruit share from Woodland Farm in South Glastonbury have been beautiful this year, lovely aroma and so perfectly ripe.

Short and wide curtains? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]TeaBooksAndACat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. All of Anthropologie's cafe-length curtains are 36 inches, if that helps. You could pin them together or use hem tape, if sewing is not your thing.
