Hi there, so going to switch things a bit and play a fun little game. Favorites of a bunch of random subjects! I hope you will chime in with yours as I learn as much from you all as you do from me. Its always enlightening to see what others are enjoying or swear by.I have in fact purchased things that you all have recommended or had great testimonials about and learned something new too!
I enjoy sharing my must have’s as well. I could go on and on with this list but will save other favorites for another future post. If you have suggestions on questions to ask, put them in the comment section. OK here are mine, cant wait to hear yours. Ready?
Favorite flower? Hard choice but have to go with peony (close runner ups would be hydrangeas)
Favorite must have skin care product? Two that I buy over and over again- Maya Chia’s The Super Blend or these exfoliating peel pads from Earthen (super popular in the fashion/modeling world) for an instant refresh to the skin (and I will attest to that)!
You can still save on the Maya Chia super blend by using code enchanted15,click here
Favorite dessert when I want to really indulge? This is a three way tie- Key Lime Pie, Bananas Foster (below was my first attempt and it was SENSATIONAL) or Coconut cake (from the Peninsula Grill in Charleston)!
Favorite paper towel brand? Bounty—always.
Favorite silver polish? Wright’s Silver Cream (the one with the little sponge).
Favorite shampoo & conditioner?
• Budget: Dove Shampoo (love the smell) + Dove Conditioner
• High-End: Redken Blondage Purple Shampoo for highlights + Kérastase Nutritive Hydrating Conditioner
Favorite hand cream? Definitely Gold Bond—so good!
Favorite lipstick? Call me boring, but yes, it’s still Angel by MAC.
Favorite painting? Total tie! Either View of Delft by Vermeer or Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas by Norman Rockwell—throw me into either painting and I’m set!
Favorite latest gadget? Torn between that viral TikTok grater (such a bargain & works SO well!) and my Bialetti coffee maker—my coffee has never tasted better.
Favorite item to travel with? Either my packing cubes or ziploc bags (yes bring several in different sizes) they are the best!
Favorite international city? Paris, hands down, is there really even a contest?
OK now its your turn, feel free to answer all or any of these…would love to hear your faves! Be sure to check back in tomorrow, we will have a major warehouse blowout sale on wicker (similar to our chin tole tray sale last week). It is well worth the visit! Thanks for stopping by, wishing you a wonderful day! Until next time…..

I used to use Brawny paper towels but now I am a huge fan of COSTCO Kirkland brand. As far as hand cream, I tried so many different brands, but my new favorite is O”Keeffe”s Working Hands cream. Inexpensive and works well.
Honestly, I love all flowers but my favorite are David Austin roses, hydrangeas, and peonies. I tend to favor flowers in blue, pink and whites.
Hi Debra, thought I would chime in. Bialetti is used to make espresso, on the stove. The bottom section is filled wth water, you insert a funnel and place your ground coffee in the funnel, screw the top of the Bialetti to the bottom and set on your stove, as it heats up pressure sends the water up the funnel and produces the coffee, which flows into the top. It’s the only coffee I love, stop top, the old fashioned Italian way. It comes in different sizes, one cup, 3, 6 and 12 cups (when I say cup I’m referring to espresso cup). Hope the explanation helped.
David Austin roses, peonies, orchids. Bounty towels, Redkin shampoo, Channel La rouge duo lip, Wrights silver cream, Cera Ve hand cream, Miracle repair foot cream, Paris, English countryside, Bialetti Moca Dolce & Gabbana stovetop espresso maker at Williams Sonoma in blue/white pattern and red mix. Check it out.
Still love hydrating Pureology Shampoo and conditioner and the best hand cream a nurse recommended to my sister in law when going through chemo is Udderly Smooth Hand and Body Cream.
beauty i use something called Lip Sartinizer. I have used it forever. from Janet Sartin in the pot. Sunday Riley CEO Glow i use under my moisturizer. Dr Dennis Gross peels, Hair conditioner Davines Nou Nou. Its a 10 leave in conditioner. Rose Naif Chanel lip gloss. Essie Polish I use peak show or romper room on my feet, ballet slippers on my hands. on my body i use organic coconut oil from the grocery store. lumify eye drops brighten your eyes.
Flower: hydrangea, and I’m right with you on Danika, Poland Spring and Wright’s (but I liked the old Gorham’s better and alas they discontinued Guardsman furniture polish and replaced it with “clean and polish” so I switched to Method brand wood polish), hand cream Ahava
Peonies, Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum, Creme Brulee, Wright’s silver polish, Bounty, and most likely Paris after my first visit next month!
Flower: Peony, it was my G’mothers too!
Skin care: Eye cream by Sisleya
Wallpaper: GIANTI, it’s Italian and luxurious
Water: Evian
Dessert: Choc cake w/vanilla ice cream
P towel: Bounty
Silver: Wrights
Shampoo: Joico, protects color & h’lites
Hand cream: Sisleya
Lipstick: Tom Ford, Casablanca
Paintings: Everything by Benjamin West (1738-1820) my 6th Great Uncle!
Gadget: my phone! It communicates, calculates, provides entertainment, stores cherished memories!
Travel: my electronic 5x mirror!
Intl City: London, because Benjamin West lived there and painted for the King for 50 years!
Peonies then lily of the valley, Schumacher and now Danika Herrick *thanks to you!
Poland Spring and tiramisu
Bounty and Wrights silver cream also
Best skincare product- i am always changing so cannot comment on this but am going to try the two you recommended
Painting- The Last Supper, just imagine!
favorite travel item cordless hair straightener
best shampoo and conditioner Biosilk for both, they tame my very thick wavy hair and make it feel so silky
Love Gold Bond and you should also try O’Keefes works great too!
Best city- Paris then London a close second
These are fun, do more. I am learning form you and others and a few things I will be giving a try!
Flower rose sunflower water deer park towels bounty shampoo tresemme no conditioner because it causes hair longer to dry which is bad wallpaper none handcream okeefee skin clinique and neutrogena and baby oil
I’m with you on the Gold Bond.
I/we travel a great deal—my husband works for an airline. Seasoned travelers are generally minimalist packers. I “wear” a cross-body string wallet that has 3 simple zip compartments. Middle is largest—for phone/passport. I put 2 tissues, lipstick and cash in one smaller one, and credit card, license, insurance card and key fob in the other one. Very lightweight.
I’m an olive skinned, deep brunette. Blue-red lipstick—no orange-red. Revlon’s “cherries in the snow.” Only color I ever wear—I have tubes of it in my desk, my car—you get it.
Latest gadget would be picture lights that have remotes. They make the paintings look great, but also make the whole room so cozy at night. People always ask about them.
Yes, Bounty. But Costco’s Kirkland brand is very close. Have to have both the quality and the scored half-sheets!
Agree about key lime pie, but also carrot cake. With a dense, moist filling of carrots, walnuts, raisins, coconut, etc. Great cream cheese icing.
We don’t buy bottled water. Biggest contributors to land fills now. We have filtered water at home and fill our own containers.
Hydrangeas and Calla lilies, perfume is Mediterranean Honeysuckle (recommended years ago by you, Tina) and Si, hand cream Sorbolene, dessert is anything made by my daughter, especially her brownie. Travel would be the region my parents are from in Italy, Abruzzo and of course anywhere in Australia, especially our beaches.
I agree with almost everything except Wrights silver polish…I used to use it until I discovered “Goddard’s Silver Polish Foam”. Goddard’s also has a phenomenal soft sponge and cleans like nothing I’ve ever used before. I order it by the case!

L’Oreal Professional Metal Detox Shampoo. Leaves hair soft and healthy.
Do you use the Bialetti to make Espresso or regular sized coffee cups? I am searching for good, hot, coffee. Tell us more about this coffee maker.
Hi Debra, thought I would chime in. Bialetti is used to make espresso, on the stove. The bottom section is filled wth water, you insert a funnel and place your ground coffee in the funnel, screw the top of the Bialetti to the bottom and set on your stove, as it heats up pressure sends the water up the funnel and produces the coffee, which flows into the top.

Hope the explanation helped.
Favorite flower: Peonies & Sweet Peas Favorite skin care: Skin Medica Dermal Repair Moisturizer Favorite WP Brand: so many – Schumacher, Brunshwig, etc & Timorous Beasties Favorite Bottled Water: Aqua Pana Favorite Dessert: Pavlova Favorite Paper Towels: Brawny Pick A Size Favorite Silver Cleaner: Weiman or Hagerty wipes for quick cleans Favorite Shampoo/Conditioner: Oribe Signature & Brightness & Shine Favorite Hand Cream: Gold Bond in winter & for after cleaning washing dishes, otherwise like Zents Fresh
David Austin roses, peonies, orchids. Bounty towels, Redkin shampoo, Channel La rouge duo lip, Wrights silver cream, Cera Ve hand cream, Miracle repair foot cream, Paris, English countryside, Bialetti Moca Dolce & Gabbana stovetop espresso maker at Williams Sonoma in blue/white pattern and red mix.

Our tastes are very similar. You are an inspiration but also a confirming
presence. Thank you!
