West Elm - Sweater Weather Tote

I found this tote bag on sale at West Elm a while back, but it's now a great time of year to start using it :o)  Of course it's no secret that I love fall, and this tote bag is the perfect way to celebrate the cooler season.  The bag is roomy and works well as a tote for the farmers' market, fall festivals, and weekend shopping trips.  While this specific tote bag doesn't look like it's available online anymore, West Elm has lots of cute tote bags out now - including states, cities, and holiday themes! 

West Elm - Ginger Candle

As soon as I saw these spice jar candles on the West Elm website, I knew I had to get one!  

The tea, coffee, and ginger candles all smelled great when I came across them in the store, but the ginger one both smelled delicious AND was on sale, haha.  It reminds me of ginger beer, with a strong spicy scent that is really unique for a candle.  Also, I look forward to reusing the cute ceramic canister once I'm done with the candle! 

West Elm Modernist Bowls

I've had my eye on these West Elm Modernist bowls for a while now, so as soon as they were having a dinnerware sale I snatched these up immediately.  I also got a matching serving bowl (not pictured) afterwards because I really liked the design of these bowls. 

The smaller bowls are a little smaller than an average soup bowl, which is good because I am severely lacking in cabinet space as it is.  I use them for cereal, ice cream, side dishes, and as candy bowls when I have friends over.  If you're into more bold colors in your kitchen, the other designs would be perfect for you as well! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with lots of chocolate and candy, haha!

I saw these West Elm mugs and bowls in the store recently and just HAD to get them.  Just one of each, I showed a tiny bit of restraint.  I literally have less than zero space for them, but I will figure something out... haha!
