I got myself so involved in working on a puzzle and "wintering" (see the picture at the end of this post) that I didn't take the time to post this yesterday.
<div><br /></div><div>My friend Stacy wore this jacket in the color denim to a party last Monday and she looked adorable and cozy - cozy - cozy! It is available in so many colors. I'm going to have to order one someday. </div><div><br /></div><div>I did order some of these pretty boxes - the colors and the ribbons are so beautiful. I needed some to store some Christmas ornaments better and to tidy up my bathroom back stock.</div><div><br /></div><div>While looking on the internet for recipes I stumbled upon super delicious looking food. The cookbook comes out soon. I want to try so many of the recipes such as her buttermilk almond muffins, rose walnut chocolate chip cookies, and lemon pink peppercorn white chocolate shortbread to name a few. Click here to see for yourself - <span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><a href="https://www.butterandbrioche.com/recipes">Butter and Brioche</a>. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>I like both of these light sconces.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of my VERY FAVORITE things I purchased last year was the fluoride free lemon toothpaste. The taste is amazing and your teeth continue to feel clean - no build up throughout the day. I couldn't love this product more - and I noticed that they have a couple for kids now too. This watermelon mint and a orange flavor. A bunch of my friends and family have ordered it too and they all like it too!</div><div><br /></div><div>My sister got me some coco floss samplers for Christmas. I'm enjoying the strawberry right now.</div><div><br /></div><div>Love the toothbrushes.</div><div><br /></div><div>I believe that I got these eye masks in a fab bit fun box awhile ago. I don't get that box anymore, but I finally used a pair and they were super moisturizing. Also, kinda fun in that gold color :)</div><div><br /></div><div>The top has little gold hearts embroidered on it. I just think it is pretty.</div><div><br /></div><div>I got Noah this carry on suitcase for Christmas. I didn't want to get him black cause I wanted it to be easy to identify. Navy or gray seemed boring. This color is called thyme and in person it is the most beautiful green. I think it was the perfect choice. I love it!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Stay warm out there. It sure is brisk in MI.</div><div><br /></div><div>And I'll leave you with this ... Wintering ... in this bitter cold this made me feel better about not really wanting to leave the house.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcAwX0ktKeuwNIvysa-1AolXsvQFjltfuiM2C1Ie8G6mMWiT021xnzH1AZ-Ok_ZdJXlC8gYrv0aUfPaPpTqSLptVIuJ1FZ7ucVXVYldh1b4pfm903TnGp7cVc0pRbzLhay1-AOmFzw0736NnpY4p8v7701LBVyMJ8gUVk9KkmmO8WilB7pEh7fhoZD0D9/s1464/IMG_4910.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1464" data-original-width="1284" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcAwX0ktKeuwNIvysa-1AolXsvQFjltfuiM2C1Ie8G6mMWiT021xnzH1AZ-Ok_ZdJXlC8gYrv0aUfPaPpTqSLptVIuJ1FZ7ucVXVYldh1b4pfm903TnGp7cVc0pRbzLhay1-AOmFzw0736NnpY4p8v7701LBVyMJ8gUVk9KkmmO8WilB7pEh7fhoZD0D9/w351-h400/IMG_4910.jpeg" width="351" /></a></div><br /><div>*please note that this post does contain some affiliate links - if you click anywhere where the products are you can scroll through them all</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-86294267576924458982024-01-08T10:34:00.003-05:002024-01-08T10:38:40.395-05:00Monday Mix 127<p> </p>

Happy Monday!
<div><br /></div><div>Snow is on the way here in Michigan. It will look pretty and I'm going to have to read my snowblower manual to refresh how it works. The first year I was here I shoveled and didn't mind the exercise. Then the next year my neighbor used my snowblower and cleared their driveway and mine which was super kind. I was very spoiled.</div><div><br /></div><div>This board is full of clothing choices that I'm wearing on repeat. Also some new makeup favorites. So here we go ...</div><div><br /></div><div>For Christmas my friend Carrie gifted me the trio of face sticks and the moisturizing balm stick. They are both so fun. She got me the fair trio - and the blush color is so pretty. The highlighter is also fun to use when I need to apply one more quickly. The sticks make it all so easy. I use the darker color mainly at the top of my forehead for a little color as if the sun touched upon me a bit. That moisturizing stick really really moisturizes so well. You can use it on your body, face, hands. I like it best at night under my eyes and on my lips here and there throughout the day. It feels so nice and that cute little pink packaging makes it even more fun to use. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was at a Christmas exchange party and one of the gifts was the Tarte eyelash curler. I didn't go home with that gift (I got the best sweatshirt 💙) but since I needed a new curler I was influenced to pick that one up. It is so good!!! Does a much better job that my older one. I think this one on the board is so pretty. <span style="color: #76a5af;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3H9y3kb">The one I got looks like this</a></span>.</div><div><br /></div><div>The cream cropped sweater is one of my very favorite new things. I keep wearing my cute cotton print dresses - throwing this on over them - and then adding my tall black Hunter boots. It's a nice way to be a little warmer and use my dresses.</div><div><br /></div><div>The other cream sweater has really fun sleeves.</div><div><br /></div><div>I wear the bow earrings in the upper right corner most days lately. They are really cute and subtle and on a big sale right now. Very good for everyday. I thought the two other pairs of earrings were pretty fun as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>The pants on the right are my favorite type of pant. You can wear sneakers for a casual look or dress them up with heels. I have them in a dusty pink and a greenish grey. Last week I wore them with a pair of cream fleece Adidas I have and they really looked cute. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm currently reading Amazing Grace Adams.</div><div><br /></div><div>A couple years ago I bought a blue teddy coat off the clearance rack in a little boutique when I was on vacation. I can't tell you how many times I get stopped by people asking me where its from. This coat from Madewell is the closest I've ever seen to what mine is like. Same color!!! This coat is much higher quality and really beautiful in person. If you need a new pretty coat I'd check this one out.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's all for now. Hope everyone has a good start to the week. Thank you for reading :)</div><div><br /></div><div>*please note that this post does contain some affiliate links</div><div>*if you click on the upper box you can scroll through all the products and find the links</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-62706547786998453952023-12-22T12:25:00.007-05:002023-12-22T12:26:17.982-05:00Pineapple Upside Down Cake<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJM6DdaqmtMsgJ5bTsWumfqJooTJZkybq-qk-raaTgX89xFGgxHuyemdmUF6S-tqGfN9h9JwN9uOUBtgpXINb-CUZ29iz95iMKUUNe5fjCNMO92bKDYBDraiWt2ULt84yR0lwleR5zNgqEWz_PC9FBL14r2RCYVfsC0_sFJGPnobZ9G4Uwhbam2tpnoGH/s1690/IMG_4208.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1690" data-original-width="1284" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJM6DdaqmtMsgJ5bTsWumfqJooTJZkybq-qk-raaTgX89xFGgxHuyemdmUF6S-tqGfN9h9JwN9uOUBtgpXINb-CUZ29iz95iMKUUNe5fjCNMO92bKDYBDraiWt2ULt84yR0lwleR5zNgqEWz_PC9FBL14r2RCYVfsC0_sFJGPnobZ9G4Uwhbam2tpnoGH/w304-h400/IMG_4208.jpeg" width="304" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pineapple Upside-Down Cake</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This recipe makes such a delicious cake.

Checking in quick to share some basics that I love. I find myself gravitating towards these items a lot lately. Some I have shared previously, but they are worth another mention. <div><br /></div><div>These hair clips are my favorite. I use them when I'm drying my hair to hold the upper layers. I also love them to hold up a little messy bun on top of my head. For another pretty look take a little piece of hair and hold it back with these hair pins for a tiny little shimmer. </div><div><br /></div><div>The long sleeve waffle tops - I wear them out - I wear them with pajama bottoms. They are so comfy. I sized up to a medium. They come in so many colors and ......... $10 each. My nieces friends thought they were Abercrombie, and friends I have met for lunch wanted the details and headed to get their own right afterwards. </div><div><br /></div><div> That bodysuit is so flattering and comfy with the bell sleeves. I love mine so much. I have black and red.
</div><div><br /></div><div>Gloss I use daily. </div><div><br /></div><div> My Winter hat. </div><div><br /></div><div> New jeans that I thankfully like. On sale for $37. They were a little long so I just cut the bottom off and roughed the edges up a bit with the edge of the scissors. </div><div><br /></div><div>I still really love checkerboard and think this pair of socks is super cute. </div><div><br /></div><div> Oh - and the gray cardigan. I have the taupe and its amazing too. Jenni Kayne knockoff for sure!!! </div><div><br /></div><div> Hope everyone is enjoying this time of year. We had our first family gathering last night. A few more to go 🎄😇🤍

Christmas is my favorite holiday. The house feels so cozy with all the lights and decorations. Here are a few things I am enjoying now along with other really nice items for the season.<div><br /></div><div>The tree beverage dispenser is the absolute best!!! Cute cocktail napkins always combine handy and make great gift add ons. These are really festive. If you are out shopping I think that Home Goods has the best selection of napkins and wrapping paper for Christmas. This puzzle has 12 mini puzzles inside. They are so nice!!! A pretty domino set - a few starry decor items. And tea - I bought this tea and it is delicious. I have a cup every morning with heavy whipping cream and a little honey added to it. I also love this quick heating kettle. I think this will be on my Christmas list.</div><div><br /></div><div>Just wanted to do a quick share today. There are so many great items I'm finding while shopping this year. It's making putting together my gifts super easy. I just might share some of my other finds in stories.</div><div><br /></div><div>*please note that this post does contain some affiliate links</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-1204584250551417832023-11-27T14:58:00.001-05:002023-11-27T14:59:32.421-05:00Monday Mix 124<p> </p>

Monday Mix - Part 2 - kitchen, tech and office<div><br /></div><div>The VERY BEST thing I have bought this entire year is this water machine. It cleans your tap water and I never have to run to the store for bottled water that is probably full of micro plastics anyway. I LOVE this thing!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>The first two powders on the bottom my naturopath doctor has me use every day. The third is great for lean muscle. I put these in my water every morning in about 22 ounces of water.</div><div><br /></div><div>That candy is so good I can't buy it cause I just keep going back to the cabinet for more and more. It comes on other flavors that I have not tried, but the licorice I have thing for.</div><div><br /></div><div>I make celery juice with this cold press juicer. It has been working great.</div><div><br /></div><div>Always love my Nutribullet for smoothies.</div><div><br /></div><div>Car charger keep cords tidy.</div><div><br /></div><div>The light switch and plug - the switch you can stick to your wall and it looks nice. I love mine. </div><div><br /></div><div>Favorite pens and the box opener works so well.</div><div><br /></div><div>I pretty much use all of these things on a daily basis. </div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-75171684178805369472023-11-27T13:31:00.004-05:002023-11-27T13:36:09.790-05:00Monday Mix 123<p> </p>

It has been forever since I've been creative here. I pretty much checked out this past Summer. I'm ready to come back and share again. When you don't share for so long it's super easy to fill a board with absolute favorites. Some of the things here would also be great for stocking stuffers or favorite things parties.<div><br /></div><div>This cardigan is so comfy. I got the taupe in medium.</div><div><br /></div><div>The readers are super lightweight. I love how they look and feel. The bright TV lights really bother my eyes so I prefer to watch wearing glasses.</div><div><br /></div><div>My favorite slippers.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've been using this mascara for 10 plus years. Never get tired of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>For the absolutely whitest eyes these drops are incredible.</div><div><br /></div><div>TOOTHPASTE of my dreams - but seriously it is so good. Lemon Lavender! I have friends hooked. My niece loves it. I can't recommend it enough. It is fluoride free and as far as natural toothpastes go it keeps my teeth feeling so clean and the flavor is incredible!!!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Top corner - the luminizer. People keep commenting on my skin - that it looks so good. Even strangers when I'm out. I appreciate it and I think just one of the things that makes a giant difference is this. I put it across the tops of my cheekbones and down my nose. It does give off the best glow. Though I still think my skin needs help :)</div><div><br /></div><div>The other RMS in the round container - I dab a tiny bit on my cheeks for color - then add Nars powder blush in orgasm - and then the luminizer.</div><div><br /></div><div>The quad RMS pack - has the luminizer - a peachy luminzer I sometimes use instead. And that red is perfect on your lips under gloss or also as a cheek blush. I use it both ways. This is great if you want to try everything out and is on major sale today.</div><div><br /></div><div>The lip glosses are all my favorites. I always have the city lips in clear too. I use the clear before bed.</div><div><br /></div><div>Finally - that bodysuit is so darn comfy and cute. The puff sleeve makes it both of these things. I don't love a tight arm so this really is the best!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Hope you enjoy. Happy snowy Michigan Monday!!!</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-24790105594081974492023-04-24T16:23:00.003-04:002023-04-24T22:20:29.566-04:00Monday Mix 122<p> </p>

Monday! The n key is sticking on my computer. This is going to take awhile to type out. I guess I'll make it quick.
<div><br /></div><div>I ordered this tree for my bedroom. It's really cute and whimsical. I had these baskets in my garage so I popped the container in one.</div><div><br /></div><div>What I think is a super cute summer find - wavy gingham 2 piece outfit. The skirt has pockets.</div><div><br /></div><div>Saw this colander at Target last week - it's low and adorable. I think I'm going to grab one tomorrow. This house of mine will have two kitchen spaces someday so why not.</div><div><br /></div><div>This bathing suit it so cheerful. </div><div><br /></div><div>I ordered this sweater. Hoping its super cute.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly, I think I'm ordering this planter for my house too. It's just too good to pass on!!! Plus, I really want to grow more plants this year :)</div><div><br /></div><div>*please note that this post contains affiliate links</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-36867017454520018472023-04-03T15:50:00.010-04:002023-04-03T15:55:49.772-04:00Monday Mix 121<p> </p>

My goal at first was a month, but now I'm thinking its going to be an all Summer thing. I also put timers on social media so that if I get to my time limit they gray out for the day. I started a read the Bible in a year app. I got a library card. Just finished the first book I checked out. All good things.

It's a snowy, icy, gray Monday and I can't seem to wake up. Yesterday we had sun and the air was warmer. I went for a jog and it felt so good to move outside. It was nice to feel like Spring is coming.
<div><br /></div><div>I ordered the lavender dress above and it is so comfy and cute on. I could live in that type of dress - and it is a Jenni Kayne lookalike without the price tag. Comes in many colors.</div><div><br /></div><div>My friend Michelle was wearing this nail polish color and I had to know what it was. It is a really clean looking neutral. I don't do gel manicures. I think they look beautiful, but getting the stuff off I find I just don't like the process and my nails looks damaged. This polish kit has a lacquer and gel so I'll just use the lacquer part. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've been wanting a white one piece. This one is so cute - I got it in black. I actually ordered <a href="https://www.vineyardvines.com/womens-swimwear/seersucker-sconset-one-piece/2M001458.html?dwvar_2M001458_color=3131&cgid=womens-swim-collection#start=11&cgid=womens-swim-collection"><span style="color: #93c47d;">this one</span></a> in white and it's super pretty. Now I need warm air and a vacation!</div><div><br /></div><div>The rest of the board is just a great lip gloss - swatch watches cause they are a fun classic. I just ordered a new strap for the one I have from high school. The denim dress looks like an easy piece to throw on with sandals or some great sneakers. I think I really could own so many pairs of sneakers if I just had the space to store them :)</div><div><br /></div><div>*please note that this post does contain affiliate links</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-52243483679819218322023-02-13T15:31:00.001-05:002023-02-13T15:31:25.341-05:00Monday Mix 119<p> </p>

It seems like all I post on here lately are Monday Mixes. I have a couple things in my house I'm making progress on that I can hopefully start sharing soon. I also have a ton of things to work on.
<div><br /></div><div>I would love to make a set of these planters. They look simple enough and would add lots of character. I'm actually going to start taking some woodworking classes. It's something I have thought about doing for years.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have a love-hate relationships with jeans at the moment. I think they are so much easier to wear in the summer with sandals. They just look so much better. I picked up more than one color of this pant above. They are much more comfortable than most of my jeans at the moment. Super cute on and $30 a pop.</div><div><br /></div><div>I also just bought this super pretty pair of shoes in the rose gold. This is the kind of shoe that will pretty much go with EVERYTHING. They are a comfortable height and really pretty. You can't go wrong with either color choice.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you want a comfy cropped tank this is one of my favorites. You can wear it high necked or v neck. I like the feel of the material. I bought a size large so it's not so cropped and I wear them with higher waisted pants and a cardigan.</div><div><br /></div><div>Two colors of my favorite bracelets that I would add to my collection.</div><div><br /></div><div>This sconce is so darn pretty. It's a lot like Visual Comfort's Alberto line. I need to figure out where I can use this.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly - this ceramic pencil box from Target. Run and get yourself this. With the top off it can be used sink side to corral your pretty soap bottles. Flip the lid upside down and use it in your bathroom to set your most used face products on it. So many uses other than the office, but it would look great there too because the styling and quality is so good!</div><div><br /></div><div>That's all for this week. Thank you for reading :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Please note that this this post does contain affiliate links.</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-67933496201576623842023-01-24T10:09:00.000-05:002023-01-24T10:09:07.568-05:00Monday Mix 117<p> </p>

Simple little board today.
In need of outside lights & copper intrigues me. I have these address numbers and they are simply really nice.
<div><br /></div><div>I picked up this little basket at Target. It's currently bringing warmth and texture into my powder room. And I finally got my faucet. It's going to add the best little pop of color. It's pretty gorgeous. I was relieved when I opened the box. Yay!!! So hope to have a powder room post soon. I am happy so far with every little choice. Though I still need hardware.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tabletop and candlelight are always fun to add to the house. So pretty napkins, taper holders and glasses.</div><div><br /></div><div>My favorite rose. Time to start dreaming of Summer gardens.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love watching The Lost Kitchen. This is the cookbook.</div><div><br /></div><div>Very into checkerboard and these rugs seem like the best pop of this fun pattern. Available in many colors.</div><div><br /></div><div>* please note that this post contains affiliate links</div><div><br /></div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-44916385517808428242023-01-16T13:01:00.010-05:002023-01-16T13:28:04.341-05:00Everyday Favorites - Used Almost Daily<iframe class="df-embed-board-iframe" src="https://designfiles.co/embeds/boards/6ffaa240-8148-42bd-a8f1-d8b6c1ba5fe7?shoppables=1" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 100%;"></iframe>

Happy belated new year!
I've taken a lot of time away from here. December was a lot & my dog was not doing well so I just lived life quietly. It's time to be creative again and sharing some of my favorite things is how I will start back. And I finally got my powder room faucet Friday so I can share a pretty new room in my house soon! <div><br /></div><div>Above there are items for candlelight that I use daily. The fake tapers look so good and are boxed beautifully. </div><div><br /></div><div>Lip products with a hint of pretty red that I love.</div><div><br /></div><div>A face wash that melts off your makeup. Wipe it off with these washcloths and warm water.</div><div><br /></div><div>I like the ease of this kind of bag used as a crossbody. This is a Lulu dupe. So many different options in this bag!</div><div><br /></div><div>I live in these slippers.</div><div><br /></div><div>This top comes in so many colors. I like layering cardigans over it. High waisted jeans and a cardigan. The material on this is so comfy. I prefer the one I ordered in large cause I'm old and covering more of my abs is a good thing! Oh and it is reversible so you can wear the neck high or low.</div><div><br /></div><div>My favorite fry pan.</div><div><br /></div><div>My sister gave me some samples of this citrus salty water goodness. I love how it tastes - I like the citrus flavors best.</div><div><br /></div><div>And this honey is pricy but full of nutrients. I eat a spoonful every day.</div><div><br /></div><div>So - simply great items that add a little happy to my day.</div><div><br /></div><div>* please note that this post contains some affiliate links :)</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-62577907145145186412022-10-17T13:55:00.005-04:002022-10-17T14:00:29.153-04:00Monday Mix 116<p> </p>

We pretty much have the perfect Fall weather in Michigan today. <div><br /></div><div>This isn't maybe the prettiest mix board, but it does have some of the coziness of Fall represented. I like this moody green wallpaper - and that lamp has been a favorite of mine for awhile now. And when the weather turns - candlelight - game night. Maybe a puzzle. Someone I used to know would play gin rummy with his mom - this card set for that game is so artistic and makes me think of them enjoying time together. I used to use a Keurig and wasn't liking it so its been in my garage for awhile. I finally ordered this French press and used it this morning. It made a really good cup of coffee and its insulated and super cute. Book is what we are reading in Bible study now. I love this book. Can't say enough good things about it - and I think it filters out all of the noise of our world and brings you back to what actually matters. Lastly, I just thought the little wire vases were cute and why not use some fun scissors to do your flower arranging. </div><div><br /></div><div>Last week was our final week for this year working on the farm making flower arrangements. It was the first year I worked with the flowers - loved being creative. This week I'm starting a whole new kind of volunteer job. It's actually somewhere that I've wanted to help at since I'd say grade school. That in itself is really exciting! The bad part is I don't think we can take pictures so lots of cuteness that I can't share :( Another fun fact is that I had to interview - my first in years - and I passed so that's good :) Being older now I was confident in myself and just approached it being myself and calm and casual. Didn't worry about it at all. So different from being young and getting nervous and worrying about what they would ask. </div><div><br /></div><div>Please note that there are some affiliate links in this post & that everything without a link is from Anthropologie.</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-9780748891437752582022-09-26T22:50:00.002-04:002022-09-26T22:50:15.778-04:00Monday Mix 114<p> </p>

The black and white blanket from Schoolhouse is so good for Fall. You can use the blanket on the whiter side or the darker. I got mine as a gift and love it. Middle row of items are just some nice accent pieces. The owl is plastic and $5 at Target. I bought some of the weird yet fun plastic cats they had last year. They have them this year too. The candleholder on the right I found on the Anthropologie site today. It's like the candlesticks I have and I instantly loved this too. On the bottom right - the little clock is great. I have a small collection of clocks still packed away. I cannot wait to display them again one day soon. Links might not display for the little pinch bowls and candleholders at the bottom of the page - they are from Terrain.</div><div><br /></div><div>Life has been good but busy lately. I feel like I've been running from one thing to the next all day for days on end. I'm in need of a cozy day at home with my dog :)</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-57165967504364507642022-09-01T15:21:00.001-04:002022-09-01T15:21:09.777-04:00Monday Mix 113 - On Thursday<p> </p>

<br />
1 stick butter plus extra for greasing ramekins<br />
<br />
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, with 60% cocoa - I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate<br />
<br />
2 eggs<br />
<br />
3/4 cup superfine sugar<br />
<br />
3 T. all-purpose flour<br />
<br />
Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries to serve alongside, if desired<br />
<br />
4 - 2/3 to 1 c. ramekins - I used the one cup size<br />
<br />
Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.<br />
<br />
Butter the ramekins.<br />
<br />
In microwave melt the chocolate with the butter - then set aside to cool a little.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3t1MXpJBC8be4Y2FpyBilxDwQHrjhzA9Kdk8kan73dS9I4BtVRJxpLtFPeLkA0Dvd04zgQj2wau7cadFbf5vRjb6kMj4xPpNhog7BymsVEHijsjvvtu3d4RKOrfhKw02FveEEvPya3JXdrkKE-foXJBdva_YuzuPExEHMeffcdCcgOYfUCz970CCpkw/s4032/IMG_4963.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3t1MXpJBC8be4Y2FpyBilxDwQHrjhzA9Kdk8kan73dS9I4BtVRJxpLtFPeLkA0Dvd04zgQj2wau7cadFbf5vRjb6kMj4xPpNhog7BymsVEHijsjvvtu3d4RKOrfhKw02FveEEvPya3JXdrkKE-foXJBdva_YuzuPExEHMeffcdCcgOYfUCz970CCpkw/w240-h320/IMG_4963.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div></div><br /><div>In another bowl mix the eggs, sugar, and flour with a hand whisk - then beat in the cooled chocolate mixture.

Bottom left: Pottery Barn has some really nice outdoor furniture. The lower coffee table I'm loving. I want to make this meal on the lower right. And lastly - upper left - a trellis is always a good thing. Also, I really want a yellow dress someday. It's for a funny reason - and when my yard is finished you will see why cause I'm going to throw an odd theme party based on something I've loved since childhood.</div><div><br /></div><div>* please note that this post does contain some affiliate links</div>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966667084760258742.post-33395322649695001192022-04-08T12:57:00.004-04:002022-04-10T19:42:21.488-04:00Style: Simplicity<iframe class="df-embed-board-iframe" src="https://designfiles.co/embeds/boards/ac6a1c8d-d6d7-445f-9457-c55ae0bcf3d3?shoppables=1" style="border: none; display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 100%;"></iframe>

<p>Lately I've been all about comfort and simplicity when it comes to life and my look. This post is all about my new favorite jeans & my simple hair and makeup look. I never like a lot of makeup, but this look is natural with a tiny hint of fun (the eyeliner) and I'm loving it. And if you know me - you know dresses are my favorite, but until it warms up a bit more you can find me like this.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlaAg-a1KsixOcgtWB7Yqyf0qM0R3rMrCyL-ZR4lVXRLFxj3T6ya4HVWQQk4lAckU07WQjf554v7QZxmao22sug21ZO9GoZnYV3LNrg48iMbUB7cajXsMfWO1IaIrEV5dCBqGClhRehXsmYVAeKzWLglXr_zHiPSVJLpsaR3hz95tKpd6-nZuM5NMe4g/s2048/style-simplicity.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlaAg-a1KsixOcgtWB7Yqyf0qM0R3rMrCyL-ZR4lVXRLFxj3T6ya4HVWQQk4lAckU07WQjf554v7QZxmao22sug21ZO9GoZnYV3LNrg48iMbUB7cajXsMfWO1IaIrEV5dCBqGClhRehXsmYVAeKzWLglXr_zHiPSVJLpsaR3hz95tKpd6-nZuM5NMe4g/w400-h300/style-simplicity.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For a classic look throw on a tank, cardigan, denim and some sneakers. When I want to dress it up a touch I add this delicate necklace or a tiny diamond heart necklace I have - and these super fun bracelets. Note: I love that the distressing on this pair of jeans is high and that the jeans themselves are soft and loose.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Makeup look starts with good basic skincare following by this Tula blurring primer. The Nars blush is a classic. The Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter gives your face a little glow. I use a little on my cheekbones and bridge of nose. This is my favorite gloss and mascara. Been using this mascara since my boys were little. Washes off really easily. And some days I do a little powder and others days not. Depends on my mood. And moods - I'm either in a state of total contentment, I'm happy, or the crankiness in me is really coming out. That's life lately 👀😂 and if I could find the little cover your mouth emoji I'd add that too! That is real life - and I don't always have it all together. Hope your weekend is great!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh - and hair. You can usually find me with part of my hair pulled up in a little bun. It's Summer hair starting early.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p>* please note that this post does contain some affiliate links</p>Lynda @ Happenstance Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02480242848686464671noreply@blogger.com0
