Seasonal Styling: Valentine’s Truffles
|
I’m not much of a cook, but food gifts are always appreciated at Valentine’s. Especially if they are chocolate! I thought I’d share a yummy and easy recipe I’ve used for Valentine’s gifting in the past. Wish I had time to make some this year, but maybe you do! |

Seasonal Styling – Handmade Gifts
 |
Not all of us are cut out for making our own Christmas gifts. But some of us could make a few if they were simple and special, right? A vintage teacup candle is a heartfelt gift for a special friend or family member. Candlemaking kits are available at stores like Michaels, or you could just drop a votive in a cute tea cup. Or, cheat a little and buy these ready-made at Anthropologie! |
| Just a spritz of spray mount and a roll in a tray of colored glitter from Martha Stewart Crafts (available at Michaels) makes regular taper or pillar candles extra-special. |  |
Seasonal Styling – Halloween, Martha-Style
It’s October 1st, so you know what that means? It means Halloween decorating! With the days getting shorter and the temperature dropping, it just makes sense to start spooking the house up as I mourn the dying of Summer.
Over the last several years, my Halloween decorating has been inspired by two people: Martha Stewart and Andrea Ferrell. Both ladies enjoy Halloween decorating that leans towards the “natural macabre.” Today I highlight Martha, I hope soon to highlight the lesser-known but equally fab Andrea Ferrell.
I’m so excited to try this bleeding candles trick! Take some white candles, stick them in a bucket of sand, light a red candle, and let the wax drip down the white candles. Genius.

Party Proposals: Birthday Book Bash
 |
Ok, my daughter loves reading like you would not believe, so I had to find a way to take that love of books and create a birthday party to suit her perfectly. The main theme was books, supported by owls – wise old cartoon owls are always reading a book, right? If you preferred, you could do books with worms (bookworms, of course). |
