erica’s things

Feeling a bit of a seventies moment after gobbling up the latest issue of Gather Journal, filled with Rumours, Bob Mackie, Pop Rocks, Three’s Company, and, oh yah, recipes.
Playing a game—and not just because of its purty design. Something tells me Machi Koro is going to be a Settlers of Catan-style hit very soon.
Getting a taste of the Minneapolis grain-to-booze scene at Norseman Distillery (strawberry-rhubarb gin!) and Fair State Brewing Cooperative (hibiscus sour beer!).
Twisting open a jar of superior pesto. Now, for my next trick: not using it all up in a week.

Reaching for my earbuds whenever Of a Kind designer and music junkie Kaelen Haworth publishes a new Spotify playlist. Her summer mix is my current go-to.
Cruisin’ for a cavity ℅ of Sweet Saba’s seriously delightful (and beautiful!) works of art.
Leveling-up my mom’s knitting hobby with custom labels for the top-notch sweaters she churns out.
Ticking-off a bucket-list item with a meal at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and walking away with some (uh, less expensive) news you can use: That savory yogurt of theirs that I’m always giving side-eye at fancy groceries is actually delicious. The squash flavor makes an A+ afternoon snack.

Rejoicing for fellow introverts everywhere upon discovering Silent Book Club—it's BYOB (bring your own book), there are zero points for class participation, and you NEVER have to host. Discovered by @kristinapp.
Wishing FarmRaiser existed when we were kids—the genius service connects students with farmers so they can fundraise by selling carrots instead of candy bars. Pretty fresh, huh? Discovered by @ligisini.

Feeling relieved that I can finally answer “Of a Kind” to the myriad people who ask me where I got this stunner that’s always on my shoulder.
