Fork Easels
Vintage forks reconditioned to hold your recipes, photographs, or holiday cards like a miniature easel.

“Purchase some pretty recipe cards, tie them up with a fork easel, along with something you baked (& your recipe written on one of those cards.)”

Petite Pattern Book Series
These books give my brain stretch marks. Each one has 140 patterns presented in EPS files for Illustrator and JPEG files. That means you can change the size and color of every pattern to design your own wrapping paper, stationery, recipe cards, whatever. I believe there are eight books in the series, and you’ll want every last one.

Philosophy Pure Grace Soap and Water Set
My friend Sarah treats herself to this scent set, because she has a thing about soap.
She says, “I am obsessed with smelling clean. I don’t want to smell like flowers or fruit or any of that teenage stripper bullshit; I want to smell like I just stepped out of the shower, all day long.”
And thanks to her secret weapon, she does.
