Collections: Bookshelves

There's nothing quite like a wall of shelving, brimming with books, to make my heart go pitter-patter.

Collections: Indoor Forts

When I was a kid, I just adored making a fort inside. There was nothing better than snuggling up with a good book in a warm little cave. This chilly weather has led me to rekindle my love for indoor forts... I'm not too old to stack the couch cushions up and throw a blanket over top.

Collections: Macarons

I never get tired of seeing macarons (often misspelled, but not to be confused with macaroons). Their candy colors are so cheerful and enticing. The best ones I've ever had were in Paris (of course), from the one and only Ladurée. I wish I could have one right now, the salted caramel is my favorite.

I took some photos of all the food I brought back from Europe, I'll have to dig back and see if I can find them to share with you. Until then, here are some images to get you salivating for these wondrous treats.
