May Linger List

A monthly edit of finds to linger over, pine for, mentally style, and perhaps irresponsibly justify

Readers, happy Wednesday. Is anyone else struggling this week, or is it just me staring into the middle distance now that Memorial Day has passed? I feel slightly unwell over how deep into the year we already are. Naturally, this has led to a small internal spiral about not having accomplished something major yet. Love that for me.

I’m also realizing that summer is no longer some distant point on the horizon. It is, in fact, arriving. I had grand plans to create a new zine for you all, but am I anywhere near ready to finalize such a thing? Absolutely not. Looking at my June calendar, I’m either away or booked nearly every weekend, which has me feeling a touch panicked. Time is slipping by so quickly, though I suppose it always does.

If I can make the zine happen for July, wonderful. If not, I hope you’ll be just as excited whenever it does arrive. I want to keep my focus, outside of my day job and the occasional freelance project, on this space. On bringing you inspiring content and finds that feel distinct, thoughtful, and set apart from the endless churn of the internet. At least, that is always the hope. More than anything, I want to keep making time for the parts I love most: designing, curating, writing, and building a little world here with you.

Okay, before I ramble any further, let’s get into it. Today, a fresh Linger List of finds I’m currently coveting and, well, lingering over. Old and new, style and home, table and treasure. A little bit of everything as always.

These monthly Linger List finds are only shared with paid subscribers as a more personal layer of curation beyond my usual edits and ShopMy additions.

I’ve extended my MDW discount of 30% off paid subscriptions through Thursday morning, making this a lovely time to upgrade and further support Worth Noting if you’re a repeat reader. As always, thank you so much for being here and reading.
