Yess! My favourite shop is in the Marais! Dean and Deluca has shut down but it was my must-do every time I was in NYC because they all carried it. Simpler times for sure.

Mariage Frères is my favourite tea house of all time! I first received it as a gift from a penpal when I was in uni and have been obsessed ever since. I'm adding this one to my next shipment.

The loners club is a large one who never really meet, right? My one friend and my journal and typing my thoughts into the ether feel like enough... though I do see appeal of having friends with whom to 'talk shop.'

I feel pretty sure James Spader as Daniel Jackson is responsible for my thing for nerdy men.

Same here. I just saw a cute cozy interior design post and the only pictures I saved were of her bookcase. 🤓

It's a mechanical keyboard. I got it from a company called dustsilver which has since shut down but I've been eyeing one by Varmilo next.

I just came back from Nyc and made the same declaration. The magic of that city is unmatched.

I know there's a nebulous nostalgia for "better days" felt by very generation. But what I miss most is the physicality and substantiality of how I grew up. More things were actual things and not just code in the digital ether.
