Featured Product
This vintage hat is sublime.
I feel like it should be worn with a classy plaid cape by a striking woman with gloriously unruly auburn hair.
But that’s just me.

Word
Good word, right??
A jeremiad is so named after the biblical Jeremiah who was - indeed - famous for his lamentations.
Modern use of jeremiad doesn’t necessarily have a religious context. According to everyone’s favorite source of information - wikipedia - jeremiad describes any work where the author bitterly laments the state of society and its morals in a serious tone of sustained invective, and always contains a prophecy of society's imminent downfall.
NOTE: Despite the obvious etymological connection to my favorite Jeremiah (my brother!), jeremiad does not reflect his personality.
Something to Celebrate!
Yep - it’s a thing! Read about it HERE.
Palette
This might just be the most beautiful (possibly / probably fake) flower arrangement I’ve ever seen!
Corny Joke
Not only is this a corny joke, it’s also a true statement.
Albeit a common mistake.
Random Recommendation
I’ve recommended useful products.
I’ve recommended books, music, authors, websites, movies . . .
But I’ve never recommended food. Until now.
I am obsessed with noosa strawberry rhubarb yoghurt. It’s decadent, It’s a dessert.
It’s also full fat, which prolly contributes to its dessert-ishness. One 8 oz. container has 260 calories and 11 grams of protein. And - in my opinion - it’s TOTALLY worth every calorie!
And if you’re skeptical of the rhubarb, I promise that it’s not super sour or stringy.
