Christmas Gift Guide | Gorgeous Wooden Toys Kids will LOVE!

Christmas Gift Guide | All the Beautiful Books!
My Christmas shopping is progressing surprisingly well this year. I hate rush-shopping so have been steadily ticking items off my list for the past few months.

Christmas Treats | Shortbread Stacks & Cupcake Icing

Christmas Post #3: Secret Santa or little gift for that pesky Eco-hippy friend
When I was Christmas shopping for E the other day, I only bought myself ONE present and it was this little gem from Natures Window; How cute is that! $6.95 friends! It’s one piece and so teeny, made from good quality nylon, it has a drawstring closure and clip so you can snap it onto your purse where you can …
