yum!

i love the holidays, if only for the fact that they give you a license to eat whatever you want. i have a bit of a sweet tooth, so desserts are my favorite. i like to bake (i made the most delicious rosemary garlic bread today!), but if you don't have the time or inclination to, check out these sweet treats you can simply order, no messy kitchen necessary.


magpie moon makes beautiful, homemade marshmallows. i mentioned to mr. m that we should try and make some, but he said he they are tough to make. true or false?




my grandmother made the best fudge for christmas every year. marmalady's looks pretty good!




sensationally sweet offers up a holiday treat: cherry eggnog bread. yum!




you can leave this reindeer food out for santa. from sweet treats by maryann.




these chocolate covered cookie dough balls by kindly treats just look so delish.

friago

the other jill told me about a lovely online shop her friend recently opened, friago. got to say, i love it! there's lots of pretty jewelry, and it's totally affordable. check it out!

p.s. - the other jill is shooting our wedding. isn't she an awesome photographer?!?



my favorites:

UPDATE: i had an awesome time at the crafeteria. thanks so much for putting on this event georganne, and thanks to arielle and andy for walking over, and to mr. m, ellen and my lovely future mother-in-law for stopping by!


hey all you phoenix dwellers, if you don't already have hot plans for your friday night, be sure to stop by frances vintage at central and camelback at 6 tonight for an indie crafeteria!

frances, a fabulous shop, is hosting this event, as well as an open house in the store. there are going to be 30 or so independent crafters with tons of great goodies, so if you are in need of holiday gifts, come on over!

nelumbo designs

love these little wrap bracelets from nelumbo designs. check out the layered look, too!

stocking stuffers

oh, i am a bad, bad blogger. sorry!

this week i bring you stuffings for your stockings. opening stockings was always my favorite part of christmas morning, maybe because it was the only thing my sisters and i could do while we were waiting for our parents to wake up.

enjoy!


for the crafty person in your life, a glam pincushion by nadelwerk.



we always got a piece of jewelry in our stocking. love this one by madison craft studio.



your wee ones will appreciate this crayon roll-up by kate williams designs.



these scrubbies by cocoa beans are reusuable and environmentally friendly.



this pocket mirror from sparkle paw should lift your spirits every time you use it.



i love this calendar from little brown pen. the best part is, you get the pdf, so you can print as many as you want!
