On Sunday we packed up and hit the road for the Cape. Each year we have a family vacation during the week of the 4th. In recent years, we've gone up to Maine, but this year we decided to go to the Cape. During summers-past, Dennis was our summer spot with family friends. As everyone grew up, we got away from that. But this year we're bringing it back!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here's everything I packed for a sadly overcast rainy trip to the Cape. (Though we made the most of it). Each of these pieces are summery, but also bode well with the humidity. Over on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly/video/7250937057457999146" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, this sweatshirt gained a bit of attention. It is a thrifted vintage sweatshirt, but I've linked some similar ones below.</p><p style="text-align: center;">More Cape posts to come! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Shop here:</p><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="5024672"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/d6b227be16b774102e1279cde957d8ae56f16434/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

This necklace is adorable. If you bebop around the north shore, particularly Marblehead, you may have seen golden cod fish mounted above or to the side of front doors. It has become a tradition of sorts in these coastal communities to have them on display- the sacred cod. Cod fishing was one of the industries that built the Commonwealth's wealth and is very much intertwined with Massachusetts history. These little cod fish are a nod to that. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaraGPpejcYYedKiZLoyni3XGF7IgJC8o2-7bW7NQmL2q6P4M1YZ1VbUiAz3p5-asVwhT0IXc9vMWQOdqQh-UBvBf3qJ5OwXLzscr97UZlAUCMeYJKufDRlJhotw6HPS9gQGfLlUzG-rfwhwEOL2JqQ05Uhv-_a2HnXBAAR3MLrWCUp8M1B92CfpgB/s1734/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-13%20at%207.09.04%20PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1310" data-original-width="1734" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaraGPpejcYYedKiZLoyni3XGF7IgJC8o2-7bW7NQmL2q6P4M1YZ1VbUiAz3p5-asVwhT0IXc9vMWQOdqQh-UBvBf3qJ5OwXLzscr97UZlAUCMeYJKufDRlJhotw6HPS9gQGfLlUzG-rfwhwEOL2JqQ05Uhv-_a2HnXBAAR3MLrWCUp8M1B92CfpgB/s320/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-13%20at%207.09.04%20PM.png" width="320" /></a></div>3. <a href="https://bit.ly/3YuVI5I" target="_blank">Quince Cashmere Sweaters</a>- Has anyone else seen these all over social media?

Bring on all things citrus and fruity. Given that, naturally I've been scouring the web for sweet summery treats and found this one on Delish... and it looks absolutely delish! I love mousses. Add blueberry AND lemon? Sounds perfect! Those two fruits together are a winning combo.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bonus: This <a href="https://bit.ly/3Io5nWl" target="_blank">Limoncello LaCroix</a>.

Days like this have me thinking about the holidays!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last year I did my <a href="https://www.sincerelymolly.com/2021/11/my-christmas-wishlist-2021.html" target="_blank">annual round up</a> for what's on my Christmas list towards the end of November, but given how today is, it feels right to sit down and compile what I've been eyeing this year. Lots of these pieces are so cozy and great for fall and winter in New England. But of course I had to include pieces with that nod to coastal living here. How special that is in my little corner of the world! This list also features some of my favorite New England brands and what I consider to be staples for this area!</div><div><br /></div>

It's been a minute since I've posting an "On My Radar" sort of post. I'm now rebranding it to "Musings" to fit my blog's them (see the home page)! Every now and then I like to share a round up of items I'm loving or things that peak my interest. So here's this week's list!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cape Cod Bracelet </b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">On my TikTok I started a series sharing distinctly New England things that seem to be pretty universal for locals. Cape Cod bracelets are certainly one. First created by Eden Hand Arts, these bracelets have become a staple in many people's accessory arsenal. Rightfully so! They are so simple and classic. Love! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Painted Diamond Pattern Floors</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This has been something on my radar for well over a year. I hope one day to use this technique in my future home! It has a historic charm to it, but can be made modern with fun and fresh color aways. I'd likely opt for blue and white, like this <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/15903404905819728/" target="_blank">image</a>... of course haha I can remember running around some colonial homes growing up with this flooring. So nostalgic!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Gilmore Girls</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've begun my rewatch of this series. Fall is fast approaching and this show has a lovely way of easing me into the autumnal spirit. It is comforting and familiar. Exactly what I want in a show. Particularly one that I put on in the morning as I sip my coffee.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="https://www.sincerelymolly.com/2022/08/new-arrivals-at-jcrew-factory-summerfall.html" target="_blank">New at J.Crew Factory</a></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I did an entire post about this already, but just have to gush a bit more about this. That quilted jacket? Gorgeous!!! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Poshmark</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have been poshmarking up a storm this year. A goal of mine this year is to only buy secondhand clothes and Poshmark has been a god-sent for this. Should I do a haul?</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sincerely,</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Molly</span></b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/molly-mac-12368187" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymollym/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sincerelymollymac/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Pinterest </a><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjCKjep-0UnsoMW7NUeNOWw/videos" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly?lang=en" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Disclaimer: All linked items are affiliate links.

You know, those clothing items that can be worn across multiple seasons. In New England that is an absolute win when a piece can be worn from one season to the next to even the next because our seasons are so drastically different. If I find an article of clothing that can make its way into multiple seasonal capsule wardrobes, it's a must have.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">J. Crew and J. Crew Factory being the trusty brand that they are of course has come through with these sorts of pieces. They're always great for basic transitional items. This latest release encompasses blue and whites. Naturally I'm fond of this considering 70% of my wardrobe is blue and white already... it just makes styling so much easier and painless. Theres beautiful ditsy floral patterns and cognac colors, too, which are entirely perfect for late summer to fall. And plenty of delicate accessories of the classic girlie.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are my picks!</p><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4818019"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/fd545049f7794621be1208596cfcb30283a311fa/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

(Sorry for the crummy photo... it's a screenshot from a video. Final reveal to come!)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Over the weekend I started a very exciting project- wallpapering! Well faux wallpapering. I bought this toile de jouy peel and stick wallpaper. It is removable and very easy to work with (granted I have experience with wallpaper, but overall I'd say it's simple enough). Essentially it's a sticker and can be adjusted easily. Only downside is that it has a slight plastic-y smell and is a bit prone to crinkling. Anyway, here is a glimpse into the space!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've decided I'm going to lean in to the whole blue and white thing. As you may know, it's nothing new in my home. I've been obsessed with this combo since high school! It's something that makes me happy, particularly having it show up in pops of patterns. In my opinion, it isn't overpowering and too maximalist, but it's certainly not minimalist either, which I like. Overly minimal spaces feel slightly overwhelming and cold to me. I like having things around! More is more, so I'm leaning in to grandmillennial countryside style! In another post and YouTube video I'll go into more depth about this process, but for now here are some links to wallpaper!</p><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4760877"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/588d5d575036ed0df7ed440b2991d6295d341d47/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

Often society will acknowledge feeling under the weather in a physical capacity, but rarely is the emotional manifestation of feeling unwell validated. I suppose this is changing with time as people open up and discuss mental health more. That in itself is progress because it is an entirely essential conversation. Especially with the weirdness that has existed these last two years. Life has been flipped upside down for many, so it is imperative that mental health be a dominant discussion in wellness and health.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have never shied away from discussing mental health on here or in person, because I feel so strongly that conversation is an important way to combat it and manage it. The idea of not feeling alone in how we feel is a very empowering thing. This is certainly true for me managing anxiety and the bouts of depression it results in. Counseling and therapy has been very helpful, but simply being open that it exists in my life has, too. So here is me being open about it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The last few months has been a very anxious uncertain time. Between a break up from a long term relationship and moving back home, family members not doing well physically, the craziness happening in the world, and simply trying to find where I fit in has exacerbated my anxiety. For quite a while I wasn't having any panic attacks, but that has not been the case the last few months. It seems every week I have one now if not multiple, which is exhausting and has left me feeling melancholy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Something my therapist has pushed me to do since high school is working on being present and in the now. She always says living in the past brings on depression and living for the future creates anxiety, so we must try to live for the present. Some ways we've brainstormed that helps me to jumpstart that is doing small home tasks. Something as simple as buying flowers and taking the 5-10 minutes to arrange them does pull me back into the present. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">That's what I did the other day. I bought myself some hydrangeas and arranged them in my new vase, which did bring me a bit of joy. And funnily enough, the symbolism behind hydrangeas is grace and tranquility. So they are my happiness flowers!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4nQ4yAtbIAxoTJ7Hry-e48xejKOB-qge9hfDuIkh7dga0a1k8hQ2Iz24MEGJs2HZsnaCPtJ3_m0pd1UiPYTWXK0HwG_Eh424_3EdNCbi2ele9BjSBu0HKhKkt0IQ0c2eGPdq-aVbU_hH3N6w0luuWzrVM8tO-IyimIuvVl2Qh5Zfsui2INaXZThTx=s2500" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="991" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4nQ4yAtbIAxoTJ7Hry-e48xejKOB-qge9hfDuIkh7dga0a1k8hQ2Iz24MEGJs2HZsnaCPtJ3_m0pd1UiPYTWXK0HwG_Eh424_3EdNCbi2ele9BjSBu0HKhKkt0IQ0c2eGPdq-aVbU_hH3N6w0luuWzrVM8tO-IyimIuvVl2Qh5Zfsui2INaXZThTx=w400-h215" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3s5VWTa" target="_blank">Small Vase</a> | <a href="https://bit.ly/36uTEok" target="_blank">Large Vase</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Hope you're doing well! xx</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sincerely,</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Molly</span></b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/molly-mac-12368187" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymollym/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sincerelymollymac/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Pinterest </a><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjCKjep-0UnsoMW7NUeNOWw/videos" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly?lang=en" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Disclaimer: All linked items are affiliate links.

Another fabulous collection. The Spring 2022 collection is particularly appealing to me because it filled with pieces that match my style so well and that I view as timeless for my home. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Typically I am not one to shop seasonal collections because I don't care for trends. Trends change so rapidly in this day and age and it simply isn't sustainable for the planet or my wallet to buy into them. Plus, I find much more joy in curating a collection from secondhand pieces and antiques. I'm definitely not one for "keeping up with the Joneses" with trends and prefer to stick to what I like... even if it isn't considered "stylish!" As such, I've curated a particular style with a very classic New England, slightly English and French countryside, and mildly traditional kinda vibe.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Every now and then, big box stores do have collections that partially match my style, so sometimes I am able to find pieces here and there. But this Target one really just hits the nail on the head! Target definitely leaned into all things blue and white, pastels, gingham, florals, and rattan. There is a slight french country influence, with an overall bright and airy countryside feel, which is definitely in line with what I look for. Nothing is over the top, but there is some personality between patterns and textures. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe this means my personal style is becoming trendy haha Either way, here are some of my favorite finds from this collection!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Check out the scalloped dishes!! They remind me of the <a href="https://amzn.to/3oCFd7J" target="_blank">Lenox Perle</a> ones.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjdVNrRcQmIRruDY5I-oOdTfvc5NnuYR_o9z-8sDEiOaSayd_AFtmZ4R58QUoX_zsBbE_XVTZRWuhc5UjhQWO2Ibqu2NSeVw212j9pA4qaTVF8npKnNqPkXgctmaRJ8Ilo_L0p9JEcfZjwXuu-_VY2qPg5fdN8fb30Lzay3iN5mLLtvqAIPr2gYaK0p=s1340" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1340" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjdVNrRcQmIRruDY5I-oOdTfvc5NnuYR_o9z-8sDEiOaSayd_AFtmZ4R58QUoX_zsBbE_XVTZRWuhc5UjhQWO2Ibqu2NSeVw212j9pA4qaTVF8npKnNqPkXgctmaRJ8Ilo_L0p9JEcfZjwXuu-_VY2qPg5fdN8fb30Lzay3iN5mLLtvqAIPr2gYaK0p=w516-h640" width="516" /></a></div><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4697873"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/f0f48707c9f7033bcd22fdd8385518342bc13535/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsUozBHbN7UMxvjmHN-S-nJpc7qwTC6ObBEroXLoEZqw8nYhbHeGl83SKNpflevI66WwSKWFpSM1k86XsC3D2xR9yDVD1R4Wmpt8s7xqRky8KbtmBZ4v2kLWzSxYa0oGSOA12HC-Seh1XP8-jugFHAKhFCChZ9KSkoEWAEOXr1_MBcN0AeZtrS85CL=s1349" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1349" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgsUozBHbN7UMxvjmHN-S-nJpc7qwTC6ObBEroXLoEZqw8nYhbHeGl83SKNpflevI66WwSKWFpSM1k86XsC3D2xR9yDVD1R4Wmpt8s7xqRky8KbtmBZ4v2kLWzSxYa0oGSOA12HC-Seh1XP8-jugFHAKhFCChZ9KSkoEWAEOXr1_MBcN0AeZtrS85CL=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></div><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4697881"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/f0f48707c9f7033bcd22fdd8385518342bc13535/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /></div></div><p style="text-align: center;">What do you think of this collection?</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sincerely,</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Molly</span></b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/molly-mac-12368187" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymollym/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sincerelymollymac/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Pinterest </a><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjCKjep-0UnsoMW7NUeNOWw/videos" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly?lang=en" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Disclaimer: All linked items are affiliate links.

This is not the entirety of my cookbook collection, but many of the ones I often pull for when needing some inspiration. I also use my little recipe box filled with recipes I've made all the way back to recipes my great grandmother made, and all the wonderful women in my family in between. So I've linked not only the cookbooks, but also some recipe boxes in case you want to begin the tradition!</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBx638XlTmsmnnMuqdTBnIbOp1xM0dqw405DgjzCefgxD1x52mePe4LIInxQjWJ8ddGkfyxuf5ebPBGcUAisnpFTQ0i5X3y7BzC3XDwj0o_2czXBZDfUPlkt5q05C8YPD5_07x3Hw7KYvz5TzMrkI0QxCeEMZ37EHGM9UTPYwdL9huBh990-7bKQmW=s1372" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1372" data-original-width="1098" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBx638XlTmsmnnMuqdTBnIbOp1xM0dqw405DgjzCefgxD1x52mePe4LIInxQjWJ8ddGkfyxuf5ebPBGcUAisnpFTQ0i5X3y7BzC3XDwj0o_2czXBZDfUPlkt5q05C8YPD5_07x3Hw7KYvz5TzMrkI0QxCeEMZ37EHGM9UTPYwdL9huBh990-7bKQmW=s320" width="256" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWNUqTfGJNhlEeEtpYD2PJ0zfzc81YkLiEZxcI16d6h6E4VS88KCZ9y7nMIwbL2MN9pKeX9At9vOCFkE7ablaB3xuOWfar7DpyFt9pNdx5VtC9Dmi85NHdB7_baEj8GIihN_qUr88V2bAJxYpVuOaTDdWn9go4K_K2TeUaiAjqjAqHK750XpCPUem5=s2051" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2051" data-original-width="1515" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWNUqTfGJNhlEeEtpYD2PJ0zfzc81YkLiEZxcI16d6h6E4VS88KCZ9y7nMIwbL2MN9pKeX9At9vOCFkE7ablaB3xuOWfar7DpyFt9pNdx5VtC9Dmi85NHdB7_baEj8GIihN_qUr88V2bAJxYpVuOaTDdWn9go4K_K2TeUaiAjqjAqHK750XpCPUem5=w295-h400" width="295" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3GD60XD" target="_blank">Julia Child's Cookbooks</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3gqtS6t" target="_blank">Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3uv4gxg" target="_blank">The Fannie Farmer Cookbook</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/34o6Ieu" target="_blank">Martha Stewart Cookbook</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3B3OLxG" target="_blank">Barefoot Contessa At Home</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3JaDj66" target="_blank">Entertaining</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/3B2KLxr" target="_blank">Betty Crocker's Cookbook</a> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4695947"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/f0f48707c9f7033bcd22fdd8385518342bc13535/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

This creamy cheesy dish is incredibly easy to make for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's egg-cellent! A variety of ingredients can be used... basically anything you fancy can be tossed in a cocotte with an egg! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In our fridge, we had some leftover ham and gruyère cheese from when I made croque monsieur. You can see my video on it <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly/video/7059932387962146094?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1" target="_blank">here</a>. (Let me know if you want a recipe!) I really wanted to use up these ingredients, so I brainstormed what they would be good for and settled on the classic oeuf cocotte. I also had some green onions and chives calling my name, which of course made it into this tasty breakfast!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Recipe for <b>one</b> 8 oz cocotte - You can find my cocottes <a href="https://bit.ly/3AWWXj5" target="_blank">here</a>*</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1/2 tablespoon of butter, softened</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1/4 cup of grated gruyère cheese (when it comes to cheese, measure with your heart)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1/4 cup of chopped ham, already cooked</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1/4 cup of heavy cream or half and half </p><p style="text-align: justify;">1 tablespoon of chopped green onions, to taste</p><p style="text-align: justify;">1 egg</p><p style="text-align: justify;">salt & pepper to taste</p><p style="text-align: justify;">chives to taste</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Steps</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a kettle, boil water.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">2. With softened butter, grease the inside of a cocotte. You may not need all of the butter. Add the heavy cream or half and half to the dish. Sprinkle in the ham, gruyère cheese (reserve some for topping), chopped green onions, and some salt and pepper.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">3. Crack the egg into the cocotte being sure the yolk stays intact. Top with more gruyère, chopped green onions, and a bit more salt and pepper to taste.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">4. Top cocottes with lids. Place the cocottes in a roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan so the water level reached about half way up the cocottes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">5. Bake for 10 minutes with the lids still on the cocottes. Then remove the lids and continue baking for approximately 5 more minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolk is still runny.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">6. Top with fresh or dried chives and enjoy!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Notes</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Other great additions or substitutes for oeuf cocottes: </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Cheese:</i> Comte, fontina, jura montagne, or any mature cheddar </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Veg:</i> Tomatoes, green pepper, peas, mushrooms, spinach</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Herbs:</i> Oregano, dill, </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Other:</i> Bacon, sausage, & creme fraiche</p><p style="text-align: center;">Bon appétit!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sincerely,</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Molly</span></b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/molly-mac-12368187" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymollym/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sincerelymollymac/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Pinterest </a><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjCKjep-0UnsoMW7NUeNOWw/videos" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly?lang=en" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Disclaimer: All linked items are affiliate links.

It can be found in the most obvious of places, as well as those obscure ones. One place I have always drawn inspiration from are films- particularly from the interiors. As a lover of design, it is always something I'm in tune to in day-to-day life and when enjoying films.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is no surprise that the homes in Nancy Meyers movies are swoon worthy. Alongside exceptional storytelling comes some great visuals and interiors to compliment the characters and the lives they lead. Over on my <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly" target="_blank">TikTok</a> I have a series diving deep into each house and how to achieve that style in one's own home.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Though they may be a bit aspirational as far as the price tag goes, there are endless elements to draw inspiration from and ways to incorporate this style in your own home, even on a budget! To that I say, don't underestimate the power of paint, some fresh furniture (secondhand treasures included!), and decor! With small intentional changes, you can transform your house into a home fit for a Nancy Meyers film. But most importantly, a comfortable space where the best moments can unfold.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The first house we discussed over on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly" target="_blank">TikTok</a> is the charming Spanish-style home from "It's Complicated." It is a ranch located in Santa Barbara, California that exudes very warm and inviting vibes. Funnily enough, the interior shots were actually filmed in Brooklyn! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">At first glance, this house is very homey. A lot of warm neutral colors are used, along with pops of orange and navy. There is texture and depth to the spaces with the use of a variety of materials, like natural and distressed wood, marble, copper, lush linens, metals, plants, and ceramics. It has a very timeless comfortable feel, with some organic and transitional influences. The exterior boasts a garden and patio area, as well.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I imagine Jane, the protagonist, enjoyed shopping at <a href="https://www.potterybarn.com" target="_blank">Pottery Barn</a>, <a href="https://www.crateandbarrel.com" target="_blank">Crate & Barrel</a>, <a href="https://www.williams-sonoma.com" target="_blank">Williams Sonoma</a>, and <a href="https://rh.com" target="_blank">Restoration Hardware</a>. Those stores come to mind when I think of this gorgeous style!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Below is a breakdown of each room and pieces I'd consider buying to recreate this cinematic home!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzvJDPoo0vbluALIj7PTGvIxz5TBxPEpk25XhDYe475AL-HILkonYzvBe-xm7MySzmRCs4jAJViDpb34eiGD9mhAZX9bkGrT13yS5l5NlQZHm_6vexIv-j9yG58f5UEv21pKqzw-wtpNXGFQMJ2OcRMWapoCqeDChLiP-bFdsapUF27SzF9VqrgIDv=s2500" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="1553" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhzvJDPoo0vbluALIj7PTGvIxz5TBxPEpk25XhDYe475AL-HILkonYzvBe-xm7MySzmRCs4jAJViDpb34eiGD9mhAZX9bkGrT13yS5l5NlQZHm_6vexIv-j9yG58f5UEv21pKqzw-wtpNXGFQMJ2OcRMWapoCqeDChLiP-bFdsapUF27SzF9VqrgIDv=w640-h232" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Paint by <a href="https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us" target="_blank">Benjamin Moore</a>.

Much like a real home, the details, no matter how small, make a space great. Every corner of this set was clearly thoughtfully curated with no detail missed. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not only is the "It's Complicated" home objectively beautiful, but the aesthetics of it all really gives you insight into the lives of the characters. What they like, what is important to them, and how they spend their time even. In this case it is a warm homey environment ideal for small gatherings, relaxation, and a bit of baking and gardening! Both in a movie home and real life, it's all in the details... even down to ceramic artichokes! (see below haha)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Side Note: An added detail I noticed in the dining room were plates and platters displayed on the wall, like the below image! It's a simple touch that adds an extra bit of interest to a space and utilizes those pieces that may otherwise collect dust... one of my favorite decorating tricks!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEju2v-U05o635k_j05llRyh73487_8aLupf6W0CbbE1lobHIij1cER5ZDJTgt1ph9C9pu0-1s0KpGBSZw6ffWM5x5oOyFJLYFDvbbRTjUKPbFu2JYYj1gIIc16d63A06OCqWYly3k_2RUS4216EQrWln7b6NyorT3An2PN_HbqX3ooLYiFUQGm0KqY7=s1868" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="959" data-original-width="1868" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEju2v-U05o635k_j05llRyh73487_8aLupf6W0CbbE1lobHIij1cER5ZDJTgt1ph9C9pu0-1s0KpGBSZw6ffWM5x5oOyFJLYFDvbbRTjUKPbFu2JYYj1gIIc16d63A06OCqWYly3k_2RUS4216EQrWln7b6NyorT3An2PN_HbqX3ooLYiFUQGm0KqY7=w640-h328" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now for the piece de resistance!

Through style, design, hobbies, connections, and experiences. </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The thing is about beauty is that it can take many forms in both the tangible and intangible. I've always been of the belief that the most potent forms of beauty manifest in the unseen. The same would go for searching and creating beauty in life. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I think of crafting a beautiful life, I think of energy, experiences, emotions... Sure there are many visually aesthetic and beautiful things in this world, but that beautiful energy we may experience and feel from time to time is unmatched. Those moments of peace, laughter, kindness, love, and joy is where beauty buds. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've found that in order to truly find and create the beauty, its more so about seeking out joy with a grateful heart.

There's a simple alternative that still offers a fun pop of pattern in a space and can be easily changed throughout the year! That being framed wallpaper. Either in large panels or in a grid layout with smaller frames, this quick project offers customization for any wall. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Framed panels would look fab in a dining room, a gallery set up would be lovely above a headboard, and beyond! Luckily there are endless wallpaper patterns out there perfect for anyone and everyone's taste. With the chosen wallpaper, some scissors, tape, and frames, this project can easily be completed in an afternoon.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I would recommend cutting each piece of wallpaper in a way that continues the pattern seamlessly to the surrounding frames.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/32WQXuj" target="_blank">Wallpaper</a> + <a href="https://amzn.to/33f3zwM" target="_blank">Frames</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Sincerely,</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Molly</span></b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/molly-mac-12368187" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sincerelymollym/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Instagram</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sincerelymollymac/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Pinterest </a><span class="st" style="text-align: justify;">|</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjCKjep-0UnsoMW7NUeNOWw/videos" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelymolly?lang=en" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Disclaimer: All linked items are affiliate links.

A bow top is just too perfect for the holidays. It can be dressed up or down with various bottoms and accessories. My favorite look is Outfit #2 because it is casual yet chic. It will be perfect for this Christmas! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The jeans keep it a bit more relaxed, which my fam generally is for holidays. We tend to dress up a bit (no sweatpants, etc), but jeans aren't off the table with a nice top and accessories.

I'm so happy to finally be sharing this DIY!! Over the summer I started making these shell jewelry dishes for fun, friends, and now for a little side biz. BUT I wanted to share how to make them in case anyone else would like to try their hand at this craft... sharing is caring, right?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They are totally customizable and unique. Thankfully they're pretty straight forward to make, as well! For those that prefer video and audio for instructions, feel free to swing by my YouTube channel for the play by play. Without further ado, below are the materials and steps:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><b>MATERIALS</b> <i>(Affiliate Links) </i></span></p><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3oX1KwS" target="_blank">Oyster Shells</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/31SS3H4" target="_blank">Ginger Jar Napkins</a> </div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3E01ph0 " target="_blank">Gold Leaf Paint</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3ypoKrr " target="_blank">Mod Podge</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3m5b93y" target="_blank">Paint</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3oTvkmD " target="_blank">Brushes</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3s7cYkf " target="_blank">Sponge Brushes</a></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Ornament Supplies: </i></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3DQo0wB " target="_blank">Drill & Drill Bits</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3DXzXAC " target="_blank">Ornament Strings</a></div><div> </div><div><i>Other Napkin Designs: </i></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3dOdoUm " target="_blank">One</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3m5nFjD " target="_blank">Two</a></div><div><a href="https://amzn.to/3ISlZ6M" target="_blank">Three</a></div><div><br /></div><div><b><br />STEPS</b></div><div>1. Begin by painting the inside of the shell white. This will even out the coloring of the shell for larger designs spanning the entire shell or provide a crisp backdrop for smaller designs, like the ginger jars. Let dry.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgD-lj2My7z8EykY7ZA57XChdqFPIbtktcaijoXa7rh_3K9YqnnsfDp_kbsEwBUEskkIAWlCq04GKFZ1J1LZlAI_5T-K1-c8PxehrqZeEkNeGklRJg7AraVAiyBFcWD8SkFKFM3otI1VStwCqMs8gZStnt8LP5YYf5eQitI3NTD51_dosFGAv9hcz0z=s4316" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4316" data-original-width="3453" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgD-lj2My7z8EykY7ZA57XChdqFPIbtktcaijoXa7rh_3K9YqnnsfDp_kbsEwBUEskkIAWlCq04GKFZ1J1LZlAI_5T-K1-c8PxehrqZeEkNeGklRJg7AraVAiyBFcWD8SkFKFM3otI1VStwCqMs8gZStnt8LP5YYf5eQitI3NTD51_dosFGAv9hcz0z=s640" width="256" /></a></div>2. Cut out the desired design either to a bit bigger than the shell if covering the entire inside, or precisely around it, like the jars. Trim excess paper off. Typically there are several layers to paper napkins, so peel off the top layer with the design.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Apply a thin coat of mod podge to the inside of the shell and place the design down tapping away any air bubbles. Be sure to avoid any sort of brushing or stroking movements, as it will likely rip the paper. Apply a more generous layer of mod podge on top of the design in a stippling motion. If the inside of the shell isn't full covered with paper, gently brush the remaining surface with the gloss mod podge for a uniform finish. Let dry. Gently tear away any excess paper to designs covering the entire inside of the shell and glue down any frayed edges.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Paint on the gold leaf paint to the top and edge of the oyster shell. For added detail, lightly brush additional flecks of gold to the various ridges on the sides and back of the shell. Let dry.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>ADDITIONAL STEPS FOR THE ORNAMENT</b> </div><div><br /></div><div>1. With a drill and a small drill bit (size will depend on thickness of string used) drill through the shell towards the top, either where the joint was or below the thickest part, as depicted in the video and photo.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Add string!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just like that, ya have an adorable custom made jewelry dish or ornament.
