After nearly 6 weeks of dealing with a fairly intense leg injury, I was finally able to go...

Make your own glitter glassware
How long does it take?
2-3 hours, depending on number of glasses.
Before you start:
Wash glasses thoroughly and dry completely.

We all know that as soon as Thanksgiving passes, Christmas is just around the corner. Start the countdown with a homemade advent calendar like this one from lovelythings
Use a chalkboard (or paint a plain board with chalkboard paint) and clothespin small paper bags filled with trinkets to a rope or string. Display anywhere in the house for a unique decoration that will take you through Christmas!
Print out these festive Thanksgiving signs and pop in a frame for an easy, last minute decoration. Our Seven Dwarfs
While you’re at it, print out the Turkey “Mr. Potato Head” templates and leave out for kids and guests to make their own turkey. Use double sided tape to affix to a wall for everyone to see! kiki creates
Pick up disposable “to go” boxes to send extra food home in. Plan ahead so you’re not scrambling to find tupperware or putting mashed potatoes and turkey together in a ziploc baggie. Trust us, you’ll be thankful when it comes time to pack up the leftovers!
Looking for a way to entertain young ones during the long turkey dinner? We found a great idea on thekitchn.com
Set up a turkey cupcake decorating station to keep kids occupied while the grown ups enjoy the dinner you’ve worked so hard to prepare. And waiting to finish the cupcakes ensures they won’t all be eaten before the real turkey is done!
Prep:
Bake chocolate cupcakes and let cool. Frost ahead of time with a thin layer over the entire cupcake and two “globs” for the head and tail. Set out with bowls of candy corn for the tail and beak, chocolate sprinkles for feathers, and a mini tube of white frosting for the eyes (don’t forget a sprinkle for the pupil). Adorable and delicious!
“I am thankful for…” cards remind everyone what Thanksgiving is all about. Have guests fill out before dinner and display around the table. After dinner, tuck cards into leftover boxes for them to find when they get home!
BLACK OUT
I would love to have this black lacquer bed, there is something about the ornate detail that I am always drawn to, and in black lacquer I adore it.
The lines of Mr. Di Lamp by Markus Hallstrand and Michael Carlsson are fabulous…
Maybe it is the rain the past couple of days but I want to curl up in the sunshine on this outdoor furniture collection from Kenneth Cobonpue. Or, maybe it is the intricacy of each piece.
As I have said in the past I love chandeliers. I have them in every room in my house. I had five of these in my office loft they were stunning…
Of course, I am a sucker for anything tabletop related and these Baccarat glasses are to die for on any table.
And these are chic on any bar, LOVE the hand etching, and the skull and cross bones has been so hot in design both in fashion and home decor they can update any table or bar.
