You are able to shop most things in our online store, except for a few (mainly Rifle Paper Co.). Stop in the store to shop everything or shoot us a message and we can help you with the items not available on our website.

LOC Stocking Stuffers 2014!

Not sure what to fill stockings with this year? Here are some of my favorite finds that are practical, fun and pretty...

1. If you have someone that is wanting to redo a dresser or cabinets, a stocking a fun place to put the knobs they've been dreaming about, but can't afford. Zara Home - Knobs

2. Diane Von Furstenburg is one of my fashion icons and I really hope someone puts The Woman I Wanted to be in my stocking this year! She has led quite the life and is truly an inspiration.

3. Everyone loves a fun wine stopper and I look how pretty these Safari Bottle Stoppers from C Wonder are!

4.|5. Surprise, surprise, I have Rifle Paper Co. options in here. Their pocket notebooks and floral coasters are gorgeous pops of color for any stocking.

6. Gloves that are texting friendly are the best! When they are as cute as these Kate Spade Bow Gloves, they are perfect for a stocking!

7. Marc Jacobs is a favorite designer of mine and when I saw these Kiss Pop Lip Color Sticks, I decided this would be my stocking lip choice for the year.

8. I know it's a personal plug, but I really do think the Love of Character Hair Ties would make a great item to throw in a stocking! You can do the fun Christmas edition or one of the other great packs. Details below.

9. I love the Kate Spade Planners and this year I'm craving this small green one! I need to get my schedule more organized and I love that she has smaller sizes that are more purse friendly this year.

Don't forget that a lot of these websites are having sales - check out  my post from yesterday to see the list.

Also, it's Small Business Saturday, so make sure you are getting out and supporting the small businesses in your area this season - here are a few of my favorites that come to mind:

The Plaid Giraffe

Social Manor

Dandurand Drugs

Watermark Books & Cafe

The Pink Saloon
The Little House - Kansas City
Bloom - Lawrence

I also love any support you have for my small (ok, tiny!) business. If you are interested in any hair ties for stockings, here are my current selections:

I am also going to work on fun Little Boxes of Christmas Character today and will post about them next week!

Lots of Love,

Stuff that Stocking!

Update on Wedding Photo Book: We received our Artifact Uprising wedding book in the mail and it turned out amazing! We love it and ordered more of the hard cover, plus made a fun softcover for my grandma.

Sorry I have been M.I.A. the past few days! Work has been crazy and I lost track of time this week. My mother has been bugging me for Christmas gift ideas, so I thought I would share with you fun Christmas gift ideas - mostly house related, with a few fun needs (ok, maybe they are more wants than needs...).
To start, we are going to look at stocking stuffers that will put a smile on any girl's face come Christmas morning!

1. Women's Touch Screen Cashmere Gloves 2. Modern Family Bluray 3. Chanel Lipgloss - 131 MICA 4. Washi Tape 5. Kitchen Towels - WS Holiday 6. Lemon Recipe Cards 7. Pinwheel Push Pins

I am loving the idea of the touch screen gloves because in the world of smart phones, nothing is worse than freezing hands trying to call someone. Modern Family is the story of Dustin and my future as a married couple because it is creepy how much we reflect Claire and Phil sometimes. Really creepy that watching it we realized we are painting our living room the same color as theirs...
Chanel lip gloss is a usual stocking favorite because it is a wonderful little luxury that I don't want to buy on a regular basis. I want the washi tape to use on fun home projects and it would be a great stocking filler, plus it adds some color! Williams Sonoma kitchen towels are simply the best. Rifle Paper and Co. has the cutest recipe cards - makes me want to try out new recipes just so I can write them down! And last, but certainly not least are something I already have, but if you don't, you definitely need some fun push pins in your stocking!

Hope this added some fun items to your wish list!
Lots of Love,
