A few of my (new) favorite things:
My new favorite website to wander:
Call it the ebay of things vintage and homemade...I've wasted a fair amount of valuable time browsing around there lately, but since I'm just browsing, I've wasted no actual money. Who can resist "window-shopping" things like vintage cookbooks and cute crafty stuff?My new favorite household product:
Courtesy of Costco, my new laundry detergent is environmentally friendly, cheaper than the brand I usually buy, doesn't give my sensitive-skinned daughter a rash, and it smells absolutely lovely. I'm sorry but, in my world, that's a miracle product. I rate it right up there with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!
And finally, my new favorite dinner recipe:
Chicken with Green Peppercorn Sauce
