Today felt like summer was hanging on for a while, at least. Thanks for giving me some reasons to still enjoy a season that is not my favorite. Beautiful photos, as usual, and lovely finds as well! Thanks, Tim!
Plum caramel sounds divine – I doubt I will find any here in NZ though – does it have a list of ingredients on the jar? I would love to try making some.
can’t tell you how much i enjoy your lists, but i was bummed to not see those napkins on the west elm website! they are perfect. happy almost autumn :)
Hi Joe- You can order the confitures online, although I guess they might not ship outside of the US. The jar lists lemon, evaporated sugar cane juice and plums.
Sarah- I was surprised that the napkins weren’t online. I would just call one of the stores and ask if they can ship them.
I love your round up! Those napkins look amazing and I wish there was a West Elm in Canada (or that they shipped here) and I’m definitely on the look out for sunflower sprouts. Thanks Tim!
kickpleat…there is a West Elm in Toronto if you are around there…I was soooo excited to see it the last time I was visiting…but no Canadian delivery as you said. And If you DO visit the West Elm in the T-dot…you must have brunch at Mildred’s Temple Kitchen just across the way…outstanding brunch fare and one of the most gorgeous restaurants ever!!
LOVE your taste here at L&D…great picks!
Frightened, Tim, in that we have some major similarities in recent acquisitions. I’m a huge June Taylor fan, have these exact napkins and have been using sunflower sprouts in salads and sandwiches lately. One thing I haven’t been introduced to is Simon Hopkinson’s book. Looks rad. Kind of has that hold-timey feel that the new River Cottage books are going for. I like it.
I have (and love) those napkins. The variety is so great for dinner parties (and food staging).
PS – are you getting tired of moderating my comments yet? I’m getting tired of not being able to hit the little X at the top of my browser. You have quite the addictive site, sir.

Too cool for school, Tim. Love your finds. Will you be my “life editor??” Your eye and sense of style is divine.
