Things I Love Thursday

Greetings, lovelings! Welcome to my first Things I Love Thursday post here on Strangely, Chantel. I used to do these on a regular basis when I still posted on LiveJournal, but I stopped as people switched from LJ to other blogging platforms. Hopefully I will be able to keep these up as a frequent way of reminding myself of all the great things I encounter and enjoy throughout the weeks. Here we go!

• Scott Lynch’s The Republic of Thieves – This is the third book in the Gentleman Bastards series, and it was just as thrilling, beautiful, and amazing as the previous two. I absolutely love these books and Scott’s writing! I can’t wait for the fourth book!
• Master of Tides – Lindsey Stirling – This performance is so cool, and it makes me very sad that I don’t know how to play violin (even though I have a violin).
• The release of AlchemicMuse’s autumn fragrances! - There are quite a few I’d like to try, such as ZomBee and Bonfire.
• White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino with raspberry. – I love the combination of white chocolate and raspberry, but I only recently thought of asking the Starbucks barista to add a pump of strawberry syrup to my white chocolate drink, and it was super tasty!
• Making envelopes! – I found a tutorial online for making envelopes, so I tried making a few. I’m thinking about labeling them and using them to save for various things, like dolls, a new laptop, or an Etsy shopping spree. XD
• Planning my kawaii witch outfit for next year’s A-kon. – I have a bunch of items favorited on Etsy that would work for my original idea, but now I’m considering doing a dark mori girl style witch. I just don’t know anymore, but it’s fun looking at ideas!
• Clean sheets and blankets. – I always sleep so well when I have freshly laundered bedding.

The three envelopes I made!

Well, that’s it for this week’s list. Hope you are all having a lovely week so far! Take care!

Strangely,

Chantel
