Lotta was there promoting her new book, Handmade Living. With the patience of a saint, she gave instruction and feedback on stenciling napkins, plates, cups, etc. I created my napkins in about hour with fabric paint and stencils. Super easy and fun to create!
While waiting for our napkins to dry, I was delighted to find that West Elm is chock full of cool gift items for the Holidays. Here are a few that I'd love to receive in my stocking...
A pair of ceramic owls would make perfect bookends.
These lacquered nut bowls would be perfect for stashing jewelry on a nightstand.
A great alternative to traditional Holiday notecards.
Great stackable wooden boxes
And for entertaining...
Nature plates would be perfect on a console or buffet.
These Mad Men-inspired glasses would be perfect for cocktails
