give joy!

Printed on 100% organic cotton, the reusable gift wrap fabric by Chewing the Cud amps up any gift and can later be used to decorate the home. Did I mention each are under $20?!

trying hard not to buy...

I love these modern animal clocks made from bamboo by decoylab. They would look cute in a nursery or child's bedroom.

twistie ties!

These gingham check twist ties from romanticPINK are perfect for little gifts. I like them sitting in a little container all by themselves.

clear glass lamps

Clear glass table lamps jazz up the home and are a perfect niche for showcasing collections like seashells and rocks. Their texture, simplicity and oftentimes colorful cord, adds a touch of modern style to the home. Ochre has some of my favorites.
