What To Do On A Rainy Day...

It's a yucky, rainy day here in Seattle.  Instead of moping about, I'm going to get busy indoors, get organized and get ahead of the Christmas gift planning at Pinhole Press.  If you haven't already discovered it, they offer GENIUS little photo books & gifts that are also well designed... simple, sophisticated, not overly goopy or cheesy and cleverly packaged.  For example...

"The Memory Game" 

Super cute flashcards

Emergency Contact Info Magnetic Portrait {cause you never can be too prepared!}

A Puzzle - LOVE this as a gift for all ages

Gift labels - cause the holidays are just around the corner

Happy {RAINY} Day!

Cords Be Gone...

Hiding unsightly cords from all the electronic devices we are addicted to {yours truly included} poses all kinds of decorating challenges.  Then genius people come along who invent genius things...

"Book Docks" for your iPhone or iPod.

Select a book or send in your own...

Make one for your nightstand, put one in your library, strategically place one in your office, etc...

Inspirational Toast...

I first discovered these fancy little gadgets several years back when my friend Jen was purchasing an antique one as a gift.  I had no clue what it was.  Back in the day, they served as toast racks.  Nowadays, they serve as pretty little desk props to hold notes, stationery, mail, etc.

Super charming.  Dainty & sweet.  A piece of old to place amongst the new.... and a must add to my new "functional & inspiring" office space...

The hunt is on...

Get It Done!

This was one of my "just because" gifts... and I'm so thankful for it right now as my "to-do list" is out of control and I'm madly trying to keep up...

So cute, right?!

The Well Appointed Pantry...

As the holiday season approaches, I tend to get "pantry envy"... it can be better described as a massive desire to have a designated, out-of-the-way, highly organized space that holds every little collected dish, linen, & tool needed to host a revolving door of festive gatherings...
