Friday Flotsam

Good Friday readers!  This edition of Friday Flotsam is flotsamy, indeed. We’ll cover everything from fruit flies to PJs.

Before we dive in, I’m giving advance warning that posts will be light next week.  There’s a one-night jaunt to NY in store for me early in the week, and then I’m taking the second half of the week off to spend at home with my vacationing husband. The behind-the-scenes slog of transitioning the blog has left me hankering for a break.

On to the good stuff.

1.  Gwyneth’s pajamas in Vogue.  God knows how long I’ve been hankering for a pair.  The Olatz ones she’s wearing above run a shocking $750.  I’m more inclined to take a zero off the end with J. Crew’s version.

2. Mad Men is back! Season 4 premiers this Sunday at 10 on AMC. Can I stay up that late before Monday’s 4 AM wake-up call? We shall see.

3. If fruit flies are driving you bonkers, learn how to make a reusable trap. I’d opt for apple cider vinegar over beer (less smelly).

4. Summer’s small, weekly batches of pesto have me hankering for a 3-cup food processor to leave out on the counter.

5. Louis Boston sale hits 75% off.  That, my friends, is where I’m going right now.
