Shed {giveaway}

 

Our second gift in our Holiday giving series is from Shed...  I am super excited about this shop and their Moroccan silver pouf that they are offering!  

Shedopened in 2009 in Maplewood NJ. It is a tiny store packed with a lot of oomph!  They have a great mix of modern, vintage and the unexpected. This month they launched their website in order to have a larger store without additional square footage, each item in the shop is carefully selected to give your room that extra special something, that pop that we are all looking for!

 

 These are a few other goodies that I saw while shopping their site.  I WANT one of those sheepskins for my kitchen nook, it is perfect for on the chairs... a little bit fun// a little bit funky!

For your chance to win the silver Moroccan pouf just follow the steps on the widget at the end of this post.  A winner will be announced on November 29th!  Best of luck!

setting the thanksgiving table..

This year we are hosting a larger number of guests for Thanksgiving dinner so I am trying to prep a little earlier.  I have been playing with the place settings and a possible menu for each seat...

Do you prep ahead for the table over the holidays?  I am usually a same day girl but I wanted to put some extra thought into it this year.

Fall dinner party...

 

I am hosting a little birthday celebration here at the house in the next few weeks and I have been searching for inspiration.  There are so many wonderful ideas that I think I will be mixing many of them together for our party.  Long harvest style tables with linen table clothes greenery and simple place settings.. so many things to think of now onto desserts and appetizers.  Any suggestions??

dreaming of baking..

 

Is it bad to dream about having time to bake?  The Mr. bought me a french deserts baking book for Christmas which I have yet to try, just not enough time!!  I am dreaming of making homemade goodies and eating them up with a hot cup of tea.

My Holiday Baking: Seeing Stars

I'm a pretty traditional kind of girl, so when it comes to the holidays we have our
family customs just as any family does, and that, of course, includes Christmas 
baking. I seem to bake the same types of cookies every year, family favorites, 
things my mother baked every year that I now try to duplicate.  

Something funny happened this year though. After rolling out ball after ball of 
cut-out dough, I realized that ALL of the cut-outs I baked were stars. Every 
cookie cutter that I used was the same shape: a star!  Yay for stars!

Ready to go into the oven!

Ready to eat!

What did you bake this year?

a quick hello...

 

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  We are trying to get it back together here, catch up with reality and take some time to enjoy ourselves.  This year has been an amazing ride and I realized this morning how very many places we have been and how much we have accomplished.  I am excited for the New Year and looking forward to sharing it with all of you!  Thank you for everything, for every comment and every email I truly appreciate your support and encouragement here on the blog and in my businesses!

Christmas table...

 

Living in California at Christmastime can be such a gift.  We are often able to spend the day in the sunshine outside with family.  I don't know that I have ever had a white Christmas and who knows if I ever will, that's okay with me for now.  I saw this beautiful table setting and I fell in love with it and how simply beautiful it was.

Wishing you and yours a very wonderful holiday!
