12 days of Christmas - Day 5!



On the 5th day of Xmas The Alternative Wife gave to me, a stylish pouch and book that suit me to a tee!  


I love my presents!  Dawn picked out the perfect gift for me.  Why, you ask is a blogger friend whom I've never met in person sending me presents?!  It's part of Aspiring Splendor's 12 Days of Christmas / Secret Santa Blogger Gift Exchange.  Say that 3 times fast.  It has been loads of fun and the best part (besides the gifts) is learning more about each other by reading each other's blogs in order to select the perfect surprise gift.  
Tomorrow, Anna from In Honor of Design shares her gift from me.  I hope she likes it!!!  A little hint.....it's homemade and a blend of two of my favorite elements....  Visit her blog home tomorrow to see what it is!

little treasure



I love little treasures.  You know, miniature things that are so sweet they make your teeth hurt.  Like this lovely pocketbook from my friend Bianca.  I really love it and I feel so ladylike (no easy task) when I use it.  I finally purchased one after eyeing them for so long. Meet Annika.

handmade coasters


i LOVE these handmade felt coasters.  By girscantell, you can find them on the Supermarket.  Oh and there is a cool diagram for everyone.  Besides the domestic goddess - kitchen aid mixer above, you'll find other super cool designs like  organs (body not instrument)and other unique styles like the turntable below...


And for some more handmade goodness, check out these pretty wooden coasters from peppersprouts on Etsy.  Along with these cute chairs, there are other designs to choose from like the sweet silhouettes and home sweet home cut-out houses...

One Dozen Red Hot Tickets...

Oh How I love antique illustrations!!!  Bella Muse does a lovely job with their little luxuries.  I told myself I would not be sappy this week but I caved and purchased these soft sentiments.  These  dozen kiss tickets are sweet enough to make my teeth hurt.  "Kisses aren't meant to be tucked away or all piled up for a rainy day.  So be generous with your kisses and give them away."


100% Satisfaction guaranteed.

It's the little things

I came across this little treasure sourced by Etsy finder and blogger Emily.  It would be a perfect "just because" gift for a friend and loved one....


Open the small wooden case and hidden inside is a metal key stamped with the word, "journey".  If you prefer another sentiment, Little Retreats will customize for you. Sweet.
