How to make the perfect cookie box.
This was gorgeous and fascinating – ode to auntie style from Vogue.com. The essay and photos are both spectacular.
Looking for some holiday reads? This is an amazing post rounding up loads of great holiday reads for all sorts of genres (literary, mystery, romance!), and not just Christmas- Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are here as well! I personally have a holiday mystery up on deck- I’m continuing my year of Agatha Christie with Hercule Poirot’s Christmas.
My Favourite Pins This Week
A salad for dinner? Heck yeah. This one is full of veggies- and bacon! which means it’s delicious and you get get all your daily veggies in a bowl. This is one of those wonderful salads that is so colourful and delicious it feels like you got it from a restaurant. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe is over here.
These snickerdoodle apple pie bites are such a great combination for the perfect cookie to go with apple pie! The snickerdoodle cookie base, all that cinnamon-y goodness, is the perfect little base for an apple pie bite- much better than a lot of pastries, for sure. If you like snickerdoodles and apple pie, this just might be your new favourite thing. Pinterest link is here and the full recipe is right here.
If the weekend has you feeling like busting out the glue gun, how about these super cute pom pom penguins? They would be cute ornaments or gift toppers, too. They’re just so cheery and adorable, and easier than you’d think. Pinterest link is here, and the full DIY is here.
This is a really pretty little garland that would be awesome to make if you find yourself with a lot of green yarn on hand! I love these little evergreens, and you could change up the colours with the colour of the beads, and go for something metallic or a brighter colour. Totally your choice! Pinterest link is here, and the dull DIY is here.
I absolutely love this minimalist and completely elegant entryway idea – the subtle colour difference of a handpainted arch to provide a focal point for an entryway. Just so beautiful, and simple. Pinterst link is here and the full DIY can be found here.
This weekend I’m so surprised that it’s coming up to the middle of December! How is this month going so quickly? I’m hoping to do some holiday baking with the kids, and maybe we’ll take them out after dark to see some lights. I hope you have a gorgeous weekend, with a cup of something warm and a good book or movie that makes you feel like things are looking up.
