cornbread

I use baking parchment paper when I bake cornbread. It comes out smoothly from the pan, and it's easy to wash. You don't need to grease the pan, so it's easy to wash.

Furniture Shopping


My husband and I are moving back to South Carolina next summer. Since we will be staying for at least 4 to 5 years this time around, we are going to buy grown-up furniture when we return.

I have been looking at furniture online and in stores, and I am pretty set on a few pieces.

Here are my favorite chairs I went to "sit" in yesterday AGAIN.


I love the contrast between the wooden linear legs and the curvy plastic seat. I am thinking about getting these for our breakfast table chairs. I am loving this color, which is called Java. They offer a variety of colors, and I also love Sparrow and Aqua Sky. I can't wait to see these colors in person! 

These Wishbone Chairs are SO comfortable! The arms are wide, and you can rest your arms very comfortably. The one I am loving right now is Beech Soap Finish with Natural Paper Code. 

Citrus Grey Lacquer Finish are beautiful and fun, too. Look at this pretty chair!

On a more realistic note, Wishbone Chair starts at $750. I am thinking about just getting one for the office first and buy more later when we have a proper dinning room and use them as dinning chairs. They look fantastic in every room!

Now....more coveting  to do.

Pumpkin Bread

With pumpkin pastries, fall is officially here. I had the best pumpkin pastry ever from Pompadour, Yokohama based bakery yesterday. 

If you love pumpkin, it's definitely worth traveling thousands of miles to Japan.

Verbena

My recent morning favorite: Bonne Mere Verbena from L'OCCITANE

This is my current face soup I use every morning. It leaves my skin soft, and I love the energizing lemon fragrance of Verbena.
