Check out my favorite procrastination links from around the web this week…

• Buxom Boudoir photographer Alicia Schmitt, who is also my social media assistant, shot some dramatic pics in our glasshouse.

• All of my most loved fall fashion tropes in one darling outfit. Leather, plaid, down, and a beret!

• How we stayed warm in the 80s. Your laugh of the week.

• I’m not here yet, as far as understanding the rhythm of planting but this post helped. It’s from a historic garden and estate.

• The NYTimes was in Mke last month, probably getting ready for the Google searches that will come during the Democratic National Convention.

• What aspect of this photo is most eye catching? The fabric on the settee? The trailing vines in the wallpaper? The little boy poking his mom’s nose? Her black-bordered smock?

• Husband was out of town recently. I ate French pastries and watched this clip more times than I will tell you.

• Oolala! My fave Parisian guidebook is now an Olympia Le Tan clutch.

• This Instagram account is the visual equivalent of fleece slippers.

• I considered open shelving in the farmhouse kitchen but when space is tight I can’t afford shelves where everything needs breathing room to look nice. This video is proof of the problem with kitchen open-shelving.

• Antiques of the Week: This trunk! And oh man, when you need a little hair of the dog that bit you but it's only 9:30 am. Just take a "bite" of this pretzel and noone's the wiser, right?
