I sooo need to make one of these gorgeous pine cone wreaths! Maybe then I can have a slight excuse for my obsession with pine cone collecting. :)

Lovely! Too bad I don't currently have the time or energy right now. A baby really does change everything.

Mitten Tree

We put up the Christmas tree and have holiday music playing and, of course, I'm doing a little online Christmas shopping! Came across this adorable mitten tree that I can see coming in handy in the years to come as our family grows and our wet mittens multiply.

Fabulous Find: Tablevogue

I think I've fallen in love! Who doesn't have a shabby, banged up card table or two they pull out for parties? I know I do! Being the perfectionist, design-minded person I am - I always try covering the darn thing with table cloths - none fit quite right though - always short on the sides so the legs show and too long on the other so people are tripping over it. :(

Tablevogue has come up with the perfect solution! Made to fit card tables and other standard table sizes - these box-pleated, floor length table cloths add a ton of swank to any ho-hum table! Taking your decor from blah and boring to fabulous and fun! Love it! Definitely a must-have for anyone planning a party or get-together!

Lots of style for little price! And so many uses - think about it - holidays, dinner parties, birthdays, game nights, baby showers, open houses, house warming, or even everyday decor!

Sweet Love Sticks Valentine Sentiments Pencils

There's nothing like a brand new pencil! My weakness for pencils started early on in my grade school years - collected ones I liked in a little box - probably have it somewhere still - oh, I need to go find it! :) These would have definitely made it into my collection! Heck, they make in my collection now!

Available on Etsy!

Found on Layers of Meaning!
