The top are tiny kits to grow your own tea garden at home! I've always wanted my own tea garden!

I collect vintage tea cups, and I adore this monogrammed little cup. It's perfect and understated and different from the colorful ones I already have!!

Holiday wrappings

In my opinion, it's not about what you get em'... it's about how you wrap it!! I've always loved the classic brown butcher paper with a pretty bow, but this year we're going to try and get a little fancy.

     How great are these?!? Isn't it fascinating what you can create with old billing envelopes and colorful masking tape!!! These gifts are wrapped in such a whimsically original way that it would break me to have to rip them to shreds on Christmas morning. I would much rather hang them on my wall.

Fabulous flakes, if there ever were such a thing

Paper snowflakes are the absolute ultimate Christmas decoration! They are tons of fun to make and they always look dreamy no matter how creativley challenged you are!! If you are growing tired of the plain white folded paper, try a pattern instead! I LOVE using old book pages when I make my flakes, there's just something so cool about that old yellow paper!

I ADORE these fancy flakes! Have you ever seen anything like them in your life?!?! Isn't it funny how everybodys snowflakes turn out just a littttle bit different? It's just like handwriting!!



And for all you noobs, here is THE BEST paper snowflake video out there! She's absolutely right on the spot when she says that you want to cut most of the paper away and leave even boarders!

Here's a really aweful snap of my flakes this year! I'm not quite done making them but I hope to hang them from the ceiling, or maybe make a snowflake chandelier!! Any ideas?!?!

Merry Flaking Everyone!!

There's something magical about seeing book pages in places they shouldn't be, don't you think??

Six advent calenders I wish I had this holiday..

And the Christmas festivities start with Black Friday!!!  Good luck to all those shoppers still out and about!! And before we all get sucked into a hloliday delirium, let us remember that we all have something to give and giving to those who genuinely need it, without any expectations or honor, has a particularly momentous quality about it.

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
