Wooden Ice Cream Spoons - Birthday Candles

I rarely post new designs for wooden spoons on this blog, but am so very excited for these "candle" spoons! Aren't they sweet? I hope you'll run over to my Etsy store and take a look around!

It's Just About Time For Presents!

And this year I am shopping at Crate and Barrel. Perhaps exclusively.

Sweater vase!


Fish hotel! Forget the Ritz or the W, this is the coolest hotel I've seen.

I would use these candy stripe bowls year-round. They are so much fun! And I love the way red looks with my aqua walls.

While I'm busy shopping at C&B, I'll take two of these. What about you?

Styling Paper Plates Into A Tiered Cake

Get those paper plates off your table and style them up!

I came across a pin found by the very talented Courtney Spencer of Merriment Events and my eyes just saw it wrong. It's funny sometimes how the mother of invention is just a big accident! I thought that someone had very prettily styled paper plates to look like a tiered cake. Once I realized my mistake, I knew I had to be the one! Surely this exists, since I've seen diapers fashioned into cakes, but I've never seen it.

A quick trip to Target later, armed with plates measuring 6 7/8", 8.5" and 10 3/8" and I have my very own beautiful three tiered plate stack. As for those adooorable spoons also pictured, you can find them in my Etsy store.
