Happy New Year!

New Years Resolutions?

I'm working on mine.

In the meantime... Peace, Love, Health & Happiness to all.

It's going to be the BEST YEAR yet!

Feeling Frisky...

Aerin Lauder has had hers for years...

...and I will add that if I could only afford ONE addition to my house this new year, it would be a leopard couch.  A not so subtle yet sophisticated, classic timeless statement.  

A couch that firmly states, 

"Nope, I'm not afraid to be ME"... 

LOVE!

On The Eve Before "The Eve"...

Are you ready?  I'm in "chaos mode"... then I came across these and instantly felt... peace.  Which really... IS what we all should be feeling right about now, right?

So, on this eve of "the Eve"... Peace to you...

On Dasher, On Dancer...

My friend Lindsay brought the sweetest little gift to my house last week... "Reindeer Food"... for the kids to sprinkle on our driveway Xmas Eve.  I can't quite get the best picture of it with my camera but, I spied this cutie on Etsy...

The story goes...

Make your own... take a few out to your neighbors... spread some magical cheer.

Happy Hanukkah!

... holiday love to those lighting the first candle tonight...

{In 2004, artist Michael Levy created a menorah based on the iconic Louis Vuitton. “The worlds of haute couture and religion have a long history that too often gets ignored,” Levy said. “The papal rings, sacramental wine chalices, torah yads, and a whole assortment of robes, sashes, and head dressings have littered the landscape of Western religion for as long as it has existed. This Louis Vuitton menorah brings that intersection to the forefront.” - quote & photo by Michael Levy}

Wrap It With A Great Tag...

I'm a sucker for a great gift tag.  I actually collect them and have a storage container devoted to all kinds.  For those of you who are starting your holiday wrapping and have no time to shop for the perfect tag... look no further than the convenience of "printable gift tags" on Etsy.  A few cute ones I spied...
