erica’s things

Dedicating too much brain space to rugs, between the amazing needlework ones I discovered in Arraiolos, Portugal, to this Blu Dot one woven from newspaper.
Picturing Dolly Parton amidst all the flower crowns, crop tops, and wellies of Glastonbury Festival.
Falling down the rabbit hole that is Who’s Dated Who. It’s all of the best and worst things about the internet—proof here and here.
Watching back-to-back-to-back videos of Seb Lester’s way-cool calligraphy (technical term: letterform).
Going ca-razy for pretty much everything having to do with the Portuguese winery Esporão—and celebrating the fact that its super-well-priced bottles are making their way to the U.S.

Cry-laughing at this firsthand account of living by Gwyneth’s It’s All Good cookbook for a week. Make sure you read all the way to the end, mmmkay?
Getting super psyched that my longtime favorite internet person, Molly McAleer, is surfacing with a new personal project: advice podcast Plz Advise. (Ep. 3 is my fave so far.)
Applauding the badass ladies behind Mother Juice for laying down roots (veggie pun alert!) at their first brick-and-mortar space in Boston.
Reliving the mind-blowing adventure that was my trip to Naoshima, Japan through Bernadette Pascua’s beautiful photo series of the art-filled island.
Finding the perfect hearty summer slaw that—and I can’t believe I’m saying this—might even taste better without the cheese.
