And to go with that bottle: some good glassware that turns it into an experience because one thing imma do is pamper myself: www.glas-ware.com

This is how we’re settling in to this weekend. A top tier Tempranillo from an incredible independent wine maker Ana Diogo-Draper out of California courtesy @nakedwines.bsky.social 🍷(bonus: the textile backdrop is part of a chaise lounge I designed for @worldmarket.bsky.social 💅🏾) #kickbackseason

Glassware as a love language 💎 Been sourcing some new pieces from the 1800s through the 1930s that are for sale tomorrow. I need talk to get into these Farber Bros. Green glass and chrome orb salt shakers 😍

Back at it with sourcing some fresh glassware and sharing a little preview of some items coming to the GLAS shop this Friday. Very obsessed with these Farber Bros. green Cambridge glass and chrome salt and pepper shakers from the 1930s. Glass and chrome? Yesss.

Am wondering if any of you have recommendations for good Substacks talking about film/cinema that are written by women?

There won’t be a sale on GLAS this week (but am stocking up for next week!). But I wanted to share this gorgeous green glass chips and dip set from 1968 that is available, along with another set in a hammered glass available for all your holiday parties ✨

It’s another slow and stealth way that even third spaces where you can roam aisles for the thrill of discovery have become energy leaks and causing people to find a plug elsewhere.

The whiplash of retailers drawing us in with carefully manufactured colors, curated floor plans, SALES!, and then dismissing your presence by locking up largely beauty, health and electronic staples AND reducing actual paid cashiers so we become untrained, free labor in longer self-checkout lines.

And if you’re in St. Paul, Minnesota, there’s a fantastic Black woman- owned bookstore called Black Garnet Books that is also hosting a great event with the Weismann Museum tomorrow (Dec. 4 )that’s all about celebrating the pleasure of reading 💜

Yes, indeed! There are two friends who are based in DC who have an upholstery company together that they call The Two Tiffany’s. Adding their Instagram profile here. Their work is so fun and beautiful!

Thank you so much! I am looking forward to adding some new items to the shop just in time for the holidays ❤️

I’ll be putting one together this week, in fact! Thank you so much for your interest! I’ll be sure to be reply when that newsletter is available 😊

It’s 1st of December. Mull everything. Mull the wine, mull the cider, mull your tea, mull the tap water, mull the cat, mull the carpet, mull the chairs. Mull it all! Get your hair cut in a mullet. Mull the Kintyre. Mull the halls with boughs of holly. Get everything mulled. FULL MULL AHEAD!

And how many business days will I be taking to put up all my Christmas decorations? 3-5 just like my mama taught me.

Hello,December.
