UNDER THE TREE
It's last minute shopping frenzy here in NYC. The stores are packed and I'm hoping to spot a few last things and then I'm off to PA tomorrow to celebrate the holidays with my family. Here are a few of the things I hope Santa brings me this year...
I hope this little piggy is waiting for me, Harry Allen Pig Bank

STENCILING WITH LOTTA...
Has anyone been to West Elm recently? I stopped in with a friend on Saturday to attend a stenciling class given by the lovely Lotta Jansdotter.
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

Countdown to Mother's Day- Part One
With Mother's Day around the corner, I have started thinking about gift ideas for all the mothers in my life. While my mom would probably prefer the latest and greatest power tool, here are a few other ideas...
Hand stamped tags for her garden or indoor house plants...

A funny card...

Some bright and colorful hand towels for the kitchen or bathroom...

As an alternative to cut flowers which only last a week, maybe a plant or dried flowers...

A paper cut silhouette of her favorite picture, or a picture of you...
