January Favorites ~ 2026

Snowmageddon is here! It is so cold! We have had frigid temperatures all week. How are all of you doing in your part of the world? Is it cold? I have had a lot going on and hopefully will have some beautiful things to share soon. Like my new updated closet, updated laundry room, new office space, and a vintage chinoiserie desk but for now it’s time for my January favorites. 

We started the month of January with a baby shower for our new granddaughter who will be arriving in February. We are praying for a safe delivery and lots of hair! We celebrated with a baby shower that my husband and I hosted. We had it at Something Splendid in Westfield. The staff was incredibly nice, and we really enjoyed the food. I loved how our balloon arch turned out. I ordered the backdrop, floral garland, and arch from Amazon. The balloons were created by Banzi Balloons here in my city. 

Next is a little vanity love. Do any of you remember the Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan and seeing her mother Elizabeth James’ vanity? I remember the scene having a crystal item of some sort so I went on the hunt for something similar and found it! I ordered it on Etsy. It is beautiful! Then my husband found these gorgeous peach roses from Costco. It has been a long time since I have had beautiful flowers.

Speaking of vanities and beautiful vignettes, I was sitting in my home office and looked across the room and saw this. I realized how beautiful it was and had to snap a photo. Sometimes it is the little, small things in life that bring beauty and peace. 

Earlier this month I went to my Mahjong studio to play a few games and ended up buying another Mahjong mat. This mat was inspired by the famille rose china design. This mat is stunning! 

I love how it has the “Charleston” Mahjong instructions on it. The correct name for it is the Imperial Mahjong mat. I few places online have it. I also purchased this swan to keep my dice in. I was inspired by my Mahjong studio to buy the swan. 

I know my list is a little small this month but that is okay. I have shared lots of great Amazon finds on my LTK. Like these slippers, and this scarf necklace. I hope you all stay safe and warm this week. Bundle up!
