It's the most dangerous time of the year!

I got an email last week that the Ballard Designs holiday collection was online. Uh oh! I'm powerless to resist almost anything there, and I am especially devoted to the Alphabet Wreath. They may as well go ahead and package one of those in a G and send it right on over to me! (I'll take that glass-and-wood front door too.)

Perfectly precious at the beach

Love, yes?

My favorite room {this week}

Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? I really want to be here right now!

File this under "I want"

I don't mind doing laundry, honestly. But this hamper might make me want to wash clothes. I cannot justify the price tag, especially because I'd prefer two (one for whites, one for colors) and because I'd want a custom liner made from fabric I pick out myself. But, oh. I do love this very much.
