Weekly Etsy Finds: Ahoy, Sister! {Christmas Shopping List 2009}

My future sister-in-law, the fiance of a USNA mid, she has mastered the honorary nautical style.  I picked these whimsically nautical items as a metephore to welcome her aboard the Lee family ship!  Any sister-in-law, future sister-in-law, or brother's girlfriend gifts in need?  This theme is perfect if you don't know her style like I know Bethany's.  I think all girls have a bit of the coast in them.

A Holiday Gift List of Inspiration: Late Elementary and Middle School Kids With Attitude

Not all of us have these people to give gifts to. Their age is tough. They deal with more politics {in the classroom}, their outer image, diversity, peer pressure, and learn more in an average school day than we do in a week. So, to help them stick it out just a few more years in the monotonous Harry Potter, Miley Cyrus, Cheetah Girls world, it would be great if they recieved gifts this Christmas that set them out from the crowd--in a good way.




Hope You Enjoy and more to come.

Dreams of the Weekend

I slept for 11 hours last night...like a log.  Boy, was I tired from all the Thanksgiving happenings.  I ate out twice yesterday.  Once for breakfast at this Mom and Pop dive of a place all the locals to.  And then for dinner at this great Italian place I had no idea about.  But last night, as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.

I am salivating over Anthropologie for the holidays
Do give me lip
A cynical gift for kids
And on the top of my list is this book


Cheers!
