Resolutions

on a personal note

• Say yes to every dinner, book launch & party I’m invited to.

• Less 'perfect hostess' pressure. More cozy dinner parties.

• More vintage finds. Fewer things without a story.

• Say yes to tweed. Say no to trends.

• Use the good china on a Tuesday.

• Less fear of soufflés.

• Drink out of proper glassware, even for water.

• More handwritten thank-you notes.

• Bake bread at least once. Even if it fails.

• Turn every seasonal playlist into a tiny party.

• Fewer "I'm too busy" moments. More quick coffees with friends.

• Go to restaurants by myself.

• Buy flowers. Every week. Even if it’s just daisies.

• Fewer untouched heirlooms. More stories about them.

• Light the candles. Every night.

• Make new friends in the city.
