Happy Friday!
August 22, 2025
This week was one of scrumptious surprises. While in Chicago, I learned I was staying mere feet away from the Princess Diana suite at The Drake Hotel—a detail that sent my royal-obsessed heart absolutely soaring. Then came the sweet shock of the first-ever mid-year Tuckernuck sample sale. The January sale is practically a Hallmark holiday in my book, so when Tuesday night’s drop appeared, I nearly considered it divine intervention.
Of course, not all surprises sparkle. Somewhere between suitcases and city streets, I lost my Kindle Paperwhite—and if you know me, you know it feels like I’ve misplaced an actual limb. Nevertheless, I persist (and may have already started browsing for a replacement).
As we savor one of the final weekends of August, I can’t help but feel the thrill of being so close to autumn. Until then, here’s to soaking up the last golden notes of summer.
