Here are some super cute (and crave-worthy items) I've been sneaking peeks at lately:

Night Owl Sateen Bedding from Garnet Hill. What?! These are so cute...Trey would HATE them!
These clay owls also from Garnet Hill, so cute they're all sold out...how did I even get on the mailing list for Garnet Hill?
What about these knit sleeve candles from anthropologie?
Or this amazing cardigan also from anthropologie?But really, have you looked through the new anthropologie catalog? Holy smokes!
Wouldn't August look so handsome in this sweater?
Um...yum!
And...yum!And...can you tell that I wish we were going to have the opportunity to eat at our favorite deli this holiday season?
This is our year to stay home for the holidays. We try to get back to Michigan every other year. Staying home is a bitter-sweet thing for us. I do love decorating the house and really getting into the spirit of Christmas...it's so much easier to do it knowing that we'll be in our own home on Christmas morning. We do need to establish our own traditions after all.
I'm really hoping to go to see the PNB put on the Nutcracker.
We've always thought it would be a good thing to look forward to on the years that we stay home...we've yet to go, but I'm really hoping that this is our year.We are really looking forward to having Thanksgiving with the Bazan family this year. D and A really are like family to us here in Seattle...it's so good to have them around...and with their new baby...I just can't get enough of them.
Christmas is creeping up on us and I've started ordering things for the kids. A few years back I found these super soft sheets and bought the kids each a set.
They. Love. These. Sheets. And they were on sale! So I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery, a new set for each kid. Hazel currently has the light purple one so I picked a light green for her new set. August has a dark blue set so I just picked another shade of blue for him. They'll be so excited when they open them on Christmas morning.
