A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Downsizing Our Interior Aspirations

New year, new Thingies guest! This week, we have the wonderful Samhita Mukhopadhyay. Pre-order her book The Myth of Making It: A Workplace Reckoning to read later this year; follow all she’s up to in the meantime at The Meteor.

erica’s things

• Calling a pocket knife cute.
   

• Relating to a toddler’s impulse to try to touch Vanessa Prager’s paintings.
   

• Delegating my most annoying to-dos—and keeping tabs on all the special occasions—with this brilliance that also happens to be 50% off for the first two months with the code DBATOT50. #SPONSORED
   

• Wondering what it says about me that I have multiple friends who’d subscribe to a modern miniatures mag.
   

• Craving collard greens.

claire’s things

• Climbing on board with the aughts-ish return of the luxury monogram motif as long as it looks something like this.
   

• Becoming an unpaid brand ambassador for Target’s quite clever house line of party décor. I, very much not a professional, made a balloon arch!
   

• Reporting that gluing random bits and bobs all over these 99-cent frames makes a very fun and giftable kid-crafting activity.
   

• Finding one (1) good thing via TikTok aside from Taylor and Harry fan content, and her name is Jensen McRae.
