pears for christmas

since we are already pear lovers around here, i think this just might have to be an addition to next years tree.

besides, someday when we move from this cute little house of ours, this will be a sweet reminder of our lovely pear tree.

on a stick

apparently i like my hot cocoa..

mmmmm....

blocks for men

i think these would be so fun to get for the husband. so if he ever looks on here, he must promptly forget he ever saw them here...

hot cocoa anyone?

these recipes are screaming for a party to be thrown.

let it snow

like magic

tea towels

everywhere i turn i see adorable tea towels.

the part i don't get is how they are so pricey for 1 towel. ( in my house that would last about 1/2 a day) when i look at the prices, i think they could fly for a set of 3 or 4, but break my bank a bit for just one (because i would need 3 or 4!!)

i'm loving this one.

excuse to cook more

these are too darning to put away in a drawer.

to set the table

oh to have the table always set when people come over! found here.

come play!

i think i've found myself something to play with the bebes.

color through pillows

a perfect way to add a splash of color. and i do love myself a splash of color.

ooo la la

something to do with my walls!

the side of my bed

we're looking for a little something next to our bed. this just might do the trick.

art

i've always wanted fruit art for my kitchen. found here.

but as is the norm for me. i always think this is a project i should conquer and do myself!

next baby?

order these. all three.

paint swatches

maybe i won't ever actually cover my wall with paint swatches... (or maybe i will??)

but can I at least get these pillows?

patches

i think i have enough random scraps to make this a perfect quilt for me...

is there a pattern here?

i'll take that towel right on top, thank you.

yep. same designer as the rug i was drooling over... but since i was dreaming up color skemes for the bath, and the blueish match the shower curtain we already have and love, how can i not love these?

OOO la la

i never thought myself to be a rug girl, but i'm a this kind of rug girl!
you'll see one of these in my house when i have $1500 to spare, and the husband reminded me, that i could promise him the dog wouldn't lay on it!

a place to break bread

maybe someday when we have a place for a table in our house...
bobby want to help me make this?

ode to the little one.

i love this idea. this little guy needs to know that i think about him and talk to him all the time. and we both need to remember it.

ruffly pillows

some day our couch with get some love and attention. i'm hoping it will be pretty and cozy.photo found here. directions here.
