I know I have mentioned it before, but I love John Derian!
My friend Wendy has been sweet enough to start my Derian decoupage collection and I just bought my first one myself, I had to, I mean...look at it! It is made from a vintage flash card and I super love it.

I am super excited to get it and even more excited for my living room to get painted so I can hang it!

PS - online ordering now available on the John Derian website - love that!

Have you tried these yet?

If not, I suggest immediately running to the closest Whole Foods Market (or your favorite store that may be cool enough to carry these) and pick up a bag. Actually, you should probably buy two because once you open them they will be gone. Sweet, salty and a little bit of peppermint...oh mamma, these are amazing.

Pretzel Crisps score again with these amazing little holiday treats.

Also available in dark chocolate - both for a limited time only.

Why are you still sitting there reading this?

I find these measuring cups and spoons from West Elm just lovely. What a treat for ingredients to jump into what looks like the mediterranean sea before they are all mixed up together. I'll take one of each please.

Who couldn't use a little height, for the holidays? Have no problem putting that star atop your tree with these high stepping strutter's. For $17.99 at Target you can grow from 5'7" to 6'1". These shoes are like magic beans for your legs!
I super love these shoes and believe it or not, they are not that uncomfortable, I believe it is the rubber faux wood sole that gives them some cush.

I super love this elephant hook! This would look amazing in my little entry way and give me a mighty fine place to hang my purse and jacket instead of tossing it somewhere that leads to me search for it the next morning.

Ok, I have to admit I, well more like WE (Tim loves them too) have been obsessed with this dinnerware since we both saw them at Anthropologie a couple weekends ago. The dinner plate is printed on the front and the back, so it may just look like the arms of the octopus on there, but flip it over and you get the face and body too - like the front side of the salad plate! They are made of a heavy stone wear, which I love. I super love the anchor printed on them as well as the light blue stripes. What fun to eat dinner off these plates. Check them out, they have some with other motifs on them like ships, puffer fish, etc. but I love the octopus (must be my Mediterranean blood).
I will take 4 dinner plates and 4 salad plates please. Shoot, I would take 2 of each just for Tim and I if it came down to it! We could use them for our special weekend dinners, that we have been meaning to have. Ha ha!

Finally, after months of searching, I found the Goody Spin Pin the other night and I super love it. I almost always wear my hair in a bun of some sort and Goody claims this is how the "undone bun is done" and I think they are right. They also say it does the job of 20 bobby pins, I think they are right on that claim as well. I am so bad at styling my hair, I generally air dry and let it hang or pull it back, that is it (unless my sister is around the braid it) so this tool is great for someone like me.

These little spin pins can do no wrong in my book! One of them held my bun all day yesterday without loosening its grip! Where were these when I was taking ballet as a teen?

Here is the commercial that sucked me in! I didn't get all the other stuff as each item is sold separately at your local drug store, but check it out!

I recently got a pair of Turkish Hamam Towels (peshtemal), I have always thought they were so beautiful but it seems like a lot of places that sell them advertise them for beach towels, waist cloths, table clothes and anything but a towel in your bathroom. They also mention the fact that they are highly absorbent, fast drying and take up little space (that is what sold me). I thought I would give it a try and see how I liked it as a towel after my shower or bath. After some research, I learned that you should wash the towel twice before using it, the more you wash it, the more absorbent it becomes. Today was the day...it was there hanging on the hook in my bathroom pink with white stripes and the size of a bath sheet all ready to dry me off after emerging from the shower. I was a little skeptical as it felt more like a dish towel than what I am used to i.e.; thick, terrycloth and thirsty. Once I got out of the "think tank" (shower) I grabbed it, wiped my face off and dried myself off. Wow, it was super absorbent and didn't feel heavy and wet like a normal bath towel. I wrapped myself in it and combed out my hair and you know what, I really liked it! My skin didn't feel damp underneath like with a regular towel; regular towels just seem to lap up the moisture and hold on to it for dear life and sometimes it takes an entire day to dry! Let's face it folks, I live in a pretty damp area so I may be on to something with this. I will use it for a week and see if the results remain the same, but so far so good and these towels are so pretty, why not add at least one to your bathroom?

Here are some good sources at reasonable prices ($25 and under), I have found some places sell them for upwards of $50 a piece, which I think is ridiculous!
