she sells seashells

My best friend and I have a tradition of gifting each other with bracelets. This year, my favorite Christmas present of all was a silver Tahitian pearl bangle. Simple, elegant, beautiful, and it reminds me of home.

tangerine dreams

Pantone has just announced that the 2012 color of the year is Tangerine Tango. So this week on misosouper, it’s all about orange.

daily affirmation

Self-help books… Therapy… Fortune teller… No need. Just slip this little trinket on your finger and when life’s quandaries trip you up, look down. Should I take the leap? Oui! Will I succeed? Oui! Do I need these shoes? Oui!

stumping for love

I guess I’m a sucker for old-fashioned romance, because I melted when I saw this personalized stump ring. It reminds me of young love on a breezy summer’s day, carving initials into an old oak tree in a meadow… which is so far from my present reality (the daily grind of family life in the city) that it makes me laugh at my own corny nostalgia. Oh well, at least a girl can dream.

little blue box

Last night my husband asked me what I wanted to do for Valentine’s Day. Since it’s a Monday night and we’d have to find a sitter, I suggested that we meet up for a romantic lunch. I’m stumped on what to get him (why do guys even need Valentine’s gifts?), but it should be SO obvious what to get me. And yet, after ten years together, I’ve still never gotten a little blue box from him. Le sigh.
