And it’s really huge.
When I first saw it in a shop, I thought to myself, “that looks like something Marie Antoinette would own” and I stick by that. It’s the sort of thing that I’ve coveted for a while but would never, ever actually buy for myself (I mean, it’s something Marie Antoinette would buy…there’s a life lesson in there somewhere).
That makes it the perfect gift. It was made even then impossibly more perfect because my helpmeet also got me a few books I’d been asking for and set up all the presents in a scavenger hunt around our house, complete with adorable rhyming hints and everything. So, yeah, my 36th birthday was a pretty memorable one!
Weekend Reading:
- Having picked through some of this documentation myself on a lark one year when I was actually meant to be researching something else, I quite enjoyed this.
- This is such a lovely approach to dealing with dementia.
- The discovery of a very well preserved dress likely belonging to an elite woman. I love this!
- The state of paid maternity leave in the US makes me incredibly sad.
- I can’t stomach another flower crown and lace crop top. And don't even get me started on high waisted cut off shorts. I just can’t with ‘festival style’ anymore.

That thing is rad. I would love to have a badass piece like that in my home.

And don't worry, you don't look 36 AT ALL.

This definitely looks like something Marie Antoinette would have owned - just because it's so over the top, which makes it all that much more amazing. My interest in completing the project of decorating our home seems to come and go, but every time you do a post about the interior of your space I think to myself that I should really get moving on this project!
