{My Idea of a Cozy Evening}

With the weather only getting colder, it's time for me to accept that winter is just around the corner. My idea of a cozy evening results in lighting a bunch of candles and turning on the fireplace while I warm milk on the stove for a cup of yummy hot chocolate ~ topped with several fluffy marshmallows. I would then sit on the couch {remote control in hand}, wrap myself in a plush robe, slide under a blanket with a pair of warm slippers and switch back and forth between watching TV, taking naps, and reading my favorite magazines or a good book. Sounds wonderful huh?

All of the items shown above are currently available at the following stores and would be amazing gifts for the upcoming holidays:

Max Brenner Hot Chocolate

Williams-Sonoma Marshmallows

Restoration Hardware Robe

Nordstrom Blanket

Gap Slippers

Bath & Body Works Snow Apple Mint Candle

Magpie & Rye Apothecary Bottle of Matches

{Seesaw 2011 Calendars}

It's time to start ordering 2011 calendars, and I finally found which one I want this year. Seesaw has created this fantastic metallic gold foil and warm grey letterpress. It is inspired by vintage textiles, geometric shapes, and the beautiful imperfections of hand-drawn illustration. In addition to the lovely calendar, I have a warm spot in my heart for the packaging {you know me}...
