Serenity Now

It's going to be a busy week. Here's a calm space, for a moment of zen before you're off to the next thing.

Handmade Holidays

Love this idea for low key holiday decorating—mini trees in a row. These ones are from House Doctor, but it's definitely a craft project you could do yourself.

This week's links. Enjoy.

A Stylish Attic Apartment
Take a tour of a modern attic in Copenhagen—one that harmoniously blends the very different tastes of the couple living there. That's the dining room above.

The New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2017
The annual list of the year's great reads in fiction, poetry and nonfiction. Something for everyone on your gift list (or you).

The Nineteenth-Century Hipster Beard
From the BBC: "Do you know someone with a beard you would categorise as "impressive"? Get them to take a look at the facial hair of 19th-century 'Whiskerandos'..."

At the Museum
Love this. Open Culture has the entire 8 episodes of At the Museum, the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) behind the scenes documentary of running a museum.

Mary Cassatt Painted Domestic Life in a Way Male Impressionists Couldn't
Thoughtful essay on Artsy on Mary Cassatt and her sensitive portraits of women, portraying them as complex human beings (radical at the time).

School Lunches Around the World
Fascinating photo essay of how kids eat in their school cafeteria. Definitely would have been glad to go to school in Italy.

Polpette al Sugo con Polenta
Roughly translated as Meatballs in Tomato Sauce With Polenta, this is pure Italian comfort food. Make it for supper on a Sunday evening, when you have a bit of time to relax and cook.

Shout out to those of you who, like me, have wildly independent curly hair. Vanessa Moody, photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg, 2015.

Every Monday this month I'll be sharing something you can make or do for the holidays—things that will hopefully make this time of year a little more personal and special. Today it's a tutorial on how to make these lovely asymmetrical organic wreaths—head over to Local Milk here for details.
