Finding the beauty

Alfi - Carafe. I make a full pot of coffee and transfer it into this insulated carafe. It stays hot or cold for hours. I mean hours. It has a vacuum tight seal. Made in Germany since 1914.

Oh Linen Heart - filled with dried lavender. Awh. Put them in your drawers, in your suitcase, or in your closet between your favorite things. :) Elevate.

Summerill and Bishop - The Pretty Glass - I just love this goblet. It reminds me of that optical illusion painting; either a challis or two people with their lips touching. It makes beautiful presentation for my chocolate pudding with shaved chocolate on top.

Roger et Gallet - Cedrat Bath Soap. I am a self professed body & bath product connoisseur. Ha. This is a bath time staple and one of my favorites. These bath bars are truly fine milled; the lather is super fine and bubbles tight. And the bar is very long lasting. The percentage of authentic essential oils is very high and no artificial coloring is added. Many of the recipes are from the origin of the French company of 1862. Extra Vieille is also a beautiful scent.

Chemex - What a fabulous story. A chemist adapts a lab vessel to make the best coffee. I believe making really good coffee is an art in scientific form. I make it a ritual, taking it seriously. And the end result proves it is well worth it. Drip via chemex makes a nice creme head in the brew. The key is also use their filters. I will do a taste test for you - Chemex vs. French Press. They are both really good. Oh and Summer means, superior iced coffee.

Gilmour Flexogen - Super Duty Garden Hose - Eight layer construction for kink resistance. I have pet peeves; hoses are one of them. Roll it back up after use, or the shape changes. I have many theories; one of them - How you treat your hose says a lot about a person. Ha.
