The Things, 09/21
On crafts, lighting, and rubber footwear.

Happy nearly autumn! Here’s what I’m thinking about too much these days:
Unfortunately, I will not rest until I own a Murano glass lighting fixture. I sure like (but obviously will not buy, at least not now) this elaborate sconce.
Super into these Marimekko-esque beads.
I’m tired of rifling through my too-full bag for lip product — Building Block’s (on-sale!) lipstick sleeve to the rescue.
I’m so pleased with this nice-looking socket light kit I got off Etsy — the twisted cord is so sleek.
I’m taking a beginning sewing class this fall and all I can think about is what clothes I’m gonna make with my new skills. I’ve got my eye on so many plaids (and new arrivals from Swanson’s, of course).
I’m really going craft crazy this fall: I’m also taking a virtual course on natural dyeing in October — join me?
This is the only thing I want to wear this coming season.
I only just saw that the iconic Simon Miller bubble clogs have been rendered in rubber — thanks to bouncy brand Melissa. I like shiny sepia.
Baggu has done it again and again, and again.
Excited to try this new-to-me scent for fall cleansing purposes.
