Just picked some up based on your recommendation. We’ll see if DH notices the change on his breakfast tartines.
Just placed my order for 2.. a girl needs a peanut butter back up always!
Thank for the tip
Cire Trudon - the Hermès of candles?
I saw eyewear mentioned, and I would offer Matsuda as having the most elegant details and quality of any eyewear I have ever worn, which makes them the Hermes of eyewear for me. I don't purchase from many other brands anymore after I found them (though I still dabble in Rigards and Kuboraum occasionally - Rigards is a very nice brand but has a strong industrial meets vintage Japanese street vibe to it)
Well, just returned from my Paris trip & what greeted me one of the most delicious peanut butter
that I've tasted in a long time to go along with my Christine Ferber jams & other goodies brought home
from Paris
Yes, definitely this peanut butter is going into my holiday goodie gift basket.
Thanks @gogingercat for the tip!
Absolutely & still with the most gorgeous linens, blankets & chock full of other items for ones home
The Melania linen fringe guest towels are divine & have a very interesting story behind them
as well as the Anichini waffle cashmere blankets
Loretta Caponi also ranks pretty high for interesting linens, JMO

Oooh, I am glad Christine Ferber gets a mention here.
To me it’s the H of jams: artisanal methods producing great quality, delicious jams. Her jams let the fruits shine and not covered by sugar. We’re lucky to live an hour away from her shop and usually we go in autum to stock up. Tried going in winter once and the selection wasn’t as nice.
Best spread on french bread, topped with salted Bordier butter (which to me is the H of butter). It’s butter produced in a tiny Brittany town called Saint Malo. Texture (supposedly due to the butter being hand-paddled using wooden paddles? Not sure if it’s still true) and taste (from the rich local milk) are amazing.

Bordier butter is yummy, and available in the US!
Oriente Italiano takes its design from a famous heritage Maiolica design called Garofano which is produced in my hometown , so I think I’m going to get a custom made Garofano tableware set made by artisans there.
It is usually done in colors but I’m thinking of ordering it in black and white, maybe some hints of gold.
Just discovered Officine Universelle Buly...Incredible old brand. I am in love !
