Christmas Wish #2

I don't like cold weather, so I don't get really excited about shopping for winter clothes. This time of year, I'm obsessed with nesting and making my HOME cozy. Here are some of my favorite little house treasures... all from Anthropologie.

This owl cookie jar is TOO adorable. I try not to keep too many cookies around the house, but I would start a special stash just for this little guy.

Pretty little paint palate egg caddy. I eat eggs every morning. Eggs, oatmeal, and coffee. That's my EVERY DAY breakfast, and I love it. I would love my eggs even more if I got to uncover this lovely little paint palette.

Ever ran around your house like a crazy person looking for your keys because you were ALREADY running late because your hair wasn't cooperating, and now you're REALLY late because you can't find your *bleeping* keys?!?! This wise friend would help you (and me) with that. Hung by the door... keeping a watchful eye on the keys.

I'm a sucker for a dreamy bed. I have a dreamy bed. But even dreamy beds need an update every now and then, and mine is due for a change. Not only is this a gorgeous bed, but it's named my favorite girl name: Laela. It's providential. I need this.

**Important note: dreaming of Christmas wishes is fun, but the best gifts aren't THINGS. The people in my life are my ultimates wishes... but if they come bearing some of these gifts, even better :) (just kiddingggg).

XOXO

Moving on Up...

Francis Drive Cottage

I LOVE my little cottage that I've lived in for the past year with my lovely sister. (See sister below)

Tiffany, on the right. Me, on the left.

I love the wood floors, I love the arched entryways, I love the antique glass doorknobs, I love the telephone nook in the hallway. I just love it!

But I'm leaving it. Striking out on my own.

I will miss living with Tiffany. And no we didn't get into a fight or dislike living together... it's just that for a while she thought she was moving out of town and in the meantime I signed a pre-lease... and then she ended up staying. But I'm excited to have a little space to call my very own.

And I do mean little.

But I'm looking forward to making it a home for having friends over for dinners and wines and movies and closet swaps. You know... just living. Pictures of the new casa coming soon.
