THINGS WE LOVE
And my tassel obsession continues. These little yarn puffs make me so
happy, and Marte Frisnes Jewellery’s colored bracelets have me
daydreaming of a stack of colored tassel texture. www.martefrisnes.com

Bayou Buddies on Fridays with Mrs. Vicki Stittleburg at the Houston
Audubon Sims Bayou Urban Nature Center is one of the highlights of
my week. 27 classes follow the alphabet format learning about a different native Texas animal each week through an animal lesson, coloring sheet, themed snack, video clip, activity and a craft. I take Pascual
and we love learning with Mrs. Vicki and our new Bayou Buddy friends
too! www.houstonaudubon.org

Fragrance house Memo Paris creates its signature
scents inspired by a location rather than for a person. Cofounder Clara Molloy travels to exotic locations like Inle,
Egypt, Siwa, Lalibela, Granada, Indonesia, Ilha Do Mel,
searching for inspiration for each scent. Most recently a
trip to Marfa, Texas, inspired this scent. I can’t decide if I
love the fragrance or the bottle more. www.us.memoparis.com
