Character Filled Christmas List!

Like I said last night, I am working on my Christmas lists and I am loving the items below. I tried to pick out snazzy pieces that would help add some character to any home:

1. Citrus Floral Tin Recipe Box 2. Parima Lipstick Print 3. Poppy Kyoto Pillow Cover 4. 2014 Secret Garden Calendar 5. Courtly Check Enamel Vase - Green Bow 6. Gold Monogram Mugs 7. Scroll Picture Frames 8. Three Tier Jewelry Box
I was on a mission to find items that 1. I really want and 2. that are under a $100, so they are affordable gifts for the people you need to buy for (or for your list!). The recipe box from Rifle Paper Co. has been on my list for a while and they are finally selling them online (the recipe cards from my Stuff that Stocking post are a great addition to this). The lipstick print has also been on my wish list because I think it would be so cute above my dresser or in a bathroom. There are three different ones and I think just one or all three would be pretty. The pink Serena & Lily pillow is just fun and comes in 3 different colors. Rifle Paper Co. is on my list again with their 2014 calendar - how pretty would this be in my office! MacKenzie Childs vases are so fun and I am loving the green bow on this one. If you are local, go into The Plaid Giraffe to check out all of their wonderful MacKenzie Childs pieces! The monogram mug is just an easy little gift. I actually bought the "B" mug while I was at Williams Sonoma a couple weeks ago because I thought it would be great for holding pens on my desk. I really want the gold frames from C Wonder - how perfect would they be for wedding pictures! And lastly, a great jewelry box from Mark and Graham. My jewelry gets all mixed up on my dresser and I would love to have a great box to organize it all in. Plus, you can add your monogram to the top!

Hope this gives you some ideas! I tried to look at fun brands that have lots of great items for these wish lists, so even if none of these pieces fill your desires, check out the websites to see what else you might find!

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,
