Gift of a Garden

I don't know about you but my house is filled with Spring catalogs and magazines. I was flipping through the Lowe's Creative Idea flyer and saw this adorable idea. A small pot planted with rosemary. What a cute (inexpensive) and fun gift. I would be super excited to get this. How cute would this be?

Don't Google "Nice Package"

I absolutely love love love the wrapping from Nice Package. Available on etsy or here. The wrapping is so simple, vintage and unique. I love it.

Hazard Warning. Do NOT google Nice Package. I did and I'm scarred for life seriously. I was far too young to see some of the images that popped up.

Holiday Gift Wrap

Happy Black Friday! If you are like me you are out shopping.

On a side note, I love wrapping Christmas gifts. I usually opt for paper that I can use year round if I have extra. I love simple solid paper with a cute embellishment. Here are some cute ideas I found online.

Also if you want to find a use for that extra paper, check out this wreath below. How cute would this be to make with scraps from holiday paper.

Christmas for the Cook

I bought the new issue of the Food Network Magazine and they had a great gift guide. Here are some of their ideas....

1. Salt and Pepper Shakers from Dabney Lee at Home

2. Cupcake Tea Towel from Elsewares

3. Wine Bucket from Dabney Lee at Home

4. Sandwich & Soup Plate from Uncommon Goods

I love these ideas for the cooks in your life...

La Cucina is a beautiful cookbooks that is the Italian equivalent of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. For the serious cook though, no pictures just page after page of Italian dishes. I Know How to Cook is an encyclopedia of French cooking. How to be a Domestic Goddess is my favorite cookbook and I love getting my friends favorite cookbooks. The Market List is from Sugar Paper and such a cute idea.

These are some of my favorites. The dining measuring spoons, dew drop coffee spoons and flower measuring cups are from Anthropologie. The Reisenthal market tote, damask beverage tote, sushi set and ornaments are from Sur La Table. The Coffee print is from Keep Calm Gallery.
