We just added this Mercury Glass Pedestal Tray to our collection. She may be petite, but she really shines.

Holiday Gift Wrapping

You'll never hear me complain about having to wrap holiday gifts. It's my favorite part of the holiday experience and it relaxes me. It's pretty easy to make pretty presentations. One handy trick is to layer on the ribbon. Use color coordinated ribbons of different sizes. To save on cost, I sometimes use strips of wrapping paper instead of ribbon. Here I used inexpensive crepe party streamers (in white) mixed with ribbons and I topped it all off with decorative stickers from Michaels along with computer generated name tags. It takes a little extra time, but it's worth it when you see the smile on the recipient's face.

The Christmas Tree Game

This time of year we have a family tradition that started about twenty years ago, before my husband and I had children. It's called the Christmas Tree Game and it's pretty easy to play, but can get very competitive. Before we head out for a day of shopping or taking a road trip of any kind, we each must guess the number of Christmas trees we will see on car roofs or in the back of trucks. I'm proud to say I'm pretty good at the game. My daughter is not pleased about this and I gently remind her that I've been playing a lot longer, but she has taken to changing her guess throughout our trips. This breaks the one and only rule of the game, and I let it slide to keep the peace. I introduced the game to my older sister over Thanksgiving weekend. She was the driver, and I don't think she liked the game because every time we screamed "Christmas Tree", she nearly had a heart attack. Some people just don't have the stamina for the game. Even still, I hope you'll give it a try. The winner gets bragging rights.

New: Vintage Inspired Red Farm Truck

Since most us can't have a real one to tool around in, we bring you this small replica to add a little whimsy to your farmhouse decor. Our Vintage Inspired Red Farm Truck, made of metal, is a charming reproduction that will brighten any bookshelf or tabletop. I'm thinking some vintage bottle brush Christmas trees will look pretty cute in the back for the holiday season.

Sea Grass Storage Basket

Hand-crafted and sturdy, our Seagrass Storage Basket creates coastal cottage charm while keeping beach towels, toys or magazines organized. Its generous size and side handles make it perfect for picnics or a day at the farmer's market, too.

Our Onion Harvest

The gardens are brimming with veggies now. We've had a good yield of onions this year, so we've been in the process of harvesting them and preparing them for storage. If we store them properly, I may be able to get through the winter without adding them to my shopping list. The trick is to let the skins harden first. Leaving the greens on, we'll hang them in a dry, well-ventilated area for about six weeks. After that, we'll remove the greens and hang them in mesh bags in our basement, as they need to be in a cool, dark place for the duration. I'm looking forward to many good meals, and I'm hopeful the mice will not get to them first. Wish us luck.

New: Merino Beaded Cake Stand

Our new ceramic Merino Beaded Cake Stand achieves its antique look from a technique called crackling--a decorative glazing method that leaves the tell-tale spiderweb cracks in the the surface enamel that we associate with our great grandmother's china. Don't worry--the technique is only cosmetic and does not effect the pieces's structural integrity. The soft grey color lends an old-fashioned farmhouse feel.

Thing One and Thing Two

Our Galvanized File Boxes offer a unique twist on keeping paperwork organized and prioritized. Featuring rustic galvanized tin, rope handles, and the number 1 and 2 on each, this set fits right in with farmhouse style decor.
