All Good Things - by Pamela Berger

I aspire to one day create a sustainable, small home that celebrates the outdoors just a bit more than the indoors. In this home tour, I particularly love Juliette’s indoor umbrella above the dining area as well as her use of natural materials throughout the home, especially in the kitchen.

These towels in blue would be so pretty poolside…or these vibrant striped ones.

My friend Matt sent me this link of an in person or online shoe making school in Brooklyn. This is really cool and I bet my friend Carrie would love to make her own kicks.

A green marble trivet is a very sweet hostess gift at just $17.

A good list of what to buy at Trader Joe’s this summer.

If I opened a shop, which I wouldn’t, but if I did, I think it would be this one…a neighborhood store dedicated to dinner parties. Shop their fun and fancy goods, here.

I miss Mexico and hope to be back there soon. Oaxaca is highest on my list but I love finding special small places like Bacalar, where they recently built this stunning eco park. It’s a little over a two hour ride south of Tulum and upon arrival you can take a one kilometer walk around the raised boardwalk or a dip in the clear lagoon below. Dreamy.

Shaving foam that smells like summer. And I like the price.

Porcelain match holders from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We need to bring these back to life…so fun.

My friend Debi sent me a link to these unique and lovely soaps. I love the Cardamom Vetiver one but they all have a cool aesthetic. It’s definitely a soap to impress.

My chiropractor recommended that I watch A Gentleman in Moscow and I think I ate it all up in just a few days. Airing on Paramount Plus, the series stars Ewan McGregor and is sublime perfection. As if I couldn’t love Ewan any more…

The only place in London where you can get coffee and flowers to go. We need more of these! (thanks for the link Laura.)

Sunscreen is a constant thought these days and I like my sister’s trick of keeping this face stick in the car to apply to her hands.

I love that there are great candles on the market that smell amazing but don’t cost a fortune. My friend Lori gave me this Lavender Eucalyptus one after my surgery and it’s such a great buy for its scenting prowess (is that a term?). When I reach the end of it, I’m going to try the Sage and Sea Salt one.

I just bought these cozy pj bottoms (with pockets) at Target for me and my mom. I love ‘em. Here’s some striped pj shorts for the guys. Happy weekend!

UPDATE: The bird feeder that I purchased from a post two weeks ago is so far, so good. It’s squirrel proof! And I also purchased the mini label maker which is a winner too. Easy peasy and so cute that I’m not sure I can leave home without it.
