Baker's Twine

Oh, I am so excited! As you might have gathered from my blog, I've been wanting a spool of baker's twine (10,080 feet of it to be exact) for quite some time now. I've been eyeballing it on Amazon thinking of the endless possibilities of that magical string. Well, yesterday dearest D. surprised me with an advent gift. I have never heard of an advent gift before, but far be it from me to look an advent gift in the mouth!

As soon as I opened the box I went right to work on Christmas crafts, which I will be showing on the blog over the next several days. Just in case you too would like some baker's twine, here is where you can find it.

Tea Break

It is easy to get overwhelmed when you move to a new place and start the job hunt. Hunting for jobs is one of my least favorite things to do. Eww, yuck! I think I pressed the fast forward button on my brain and was having an unnecessary melt down. I decided to regroup and take a tea break.

Pumpkin mayhem, I love it! My mummy made me a cute pumpkin tablecloth and matching pillowcase, perfect for Halloween. The teacup is from my sissy-poo, and was a bridal shower gift. My bridal shower was held at Savannah Tea Company in Nashville, and all of the girls brought me tea cups. I have quite the collection now. The teapot and honey bowl were the first things that D. and I purchased for our apartment, before we even had it. We were a bit extravagant with our first house gifts and bought them at Anthropologie, my favorite. And the napkin holder was a 0.69 find from Salvation Army.

Writing wedding thank you's. Somebody bought me thank you notes as a shower gift, what a good idea.

This stump pot was a birthday present from me to D. I find myself using it much more than him though, therefore wishing that it was blue-ish green instead of grey. My owl notebook has been with me through the entire wedding planning process and is now helping me keep track of thank you notes.

Back to the notes!

Happy (Belated) Birthday to Me

The other day I was pleasantly surprised to find a belated birthday package waiting for me in the kitchen. This is what was inside.


My crafty second mom made me these two little owl pouches, oh she knows how I like owls. I plan on using the bigger one to keep my latest embroidery project floss and other embroidery tools inside.



Too cute, hmm? Here is her etsy
