Home Obsession: Tatine Candles

Some new favorite scents for the abode, from Chicago-based Tatine

Field of Grass smells exactly like freshly cut grass. You don't even need to light it for it to emit a pleasing aroma, which may be a good thing since I can't seem to part with the lovely packaging.


Bitter Orange and Lavender from the Garden + Forest Infusions collection smells like my hikes through Big Sur. The beautiful green glass can be used as a votive or small vase after the candle burns through.

Holiday Gift Guide: Nesting Edition

I've been browsing Terrain all week, adding, deleting, then re-adding lovely home finds to my shopping cart. They've got such great things at the moment it's hard to decide what to gift (and what to keep for oneself). Since I don't actually celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, my list is usually limited to bf, a few friends and colleagues. Here are some nifty little gifts and stocking stuffers to encourage nesting this winter. 


Bellocq's Majorelle Mint Tea sounds (and looks) heavenly. Considering cheating on my Mariage Frères Casablanca to try it.

A stovetop popcorn popper. Apparently microwave popcorn releases harmful chemicals when cooked, so for those movie nights in with the ones you love, consider this is a gift that keeps on giving. At $35 it's not terribly expensive, either.

Breakfast together is better with a sampler of Vermont maple syrups. Set of four, $28.

Who wouldn't want the scent of apples and cinnamon wafting through their home? Spicy Apple Tea Lights, $12 for a set of 6.
