Paper Acorn

Only a few more days until turkey goodness. It's not too late to decorate and find all the last minute touches that can be added to your table. Thankfully for you, you have me! I do find the cutest handmade stuff on the web and even better I find stuff that you can purchase today and hopefully receive by the time it's time to set your Thanksgiving dinner table.

At Paper Acorn pretty amazing decorating items but the one item I found most useful to show off to you is their complete Autumn Party set. Each set serves 12 people so you don't have to worry about not having enough items for everyone who's invited to your home. It includes two 8-foot maple leaf paper garlands, 12 place cards with yellow and orange maple leaves, and 12 paper napkin rings in orange, brown and burgundy. It's all very swoon worthy!

Maria Burgos Jewelry Design

Alas, the day has arrived my little Twihards. I purchased my twickets a week ago for the twins and I and you better believe we'll be there early and ready to submerse ourselves in New Moon goodness. I can't decide who's more excited though, the twins or I. I woke up this morning and was immediately reminded by both of them, separately, that today was the big day. I was also reminded of how terrible I am and how we're sneaking our drinks and candy into the theater. Bad mom.

In honor of New Moon I found a super cool ring from Maria Burgos Jewelry Design. The magical glow of this rainbow moonstone is captured in this bezel set Sterling silver ring. I adore it and wish I could see it up close. The ring is made to order so make sure you put your ring size in the comments at checkout in order to get one that fits you specifically.

Ricki’s Pick of the Week: Purifying Cleanser from ClariSEA

Through a post last month on the Bath and Body Find forums, I discovered that ClariSEA was giving samples away to Facebook fans. In need of a new facial scrub, I thought I would try the Purifying Cleanser. I am glad I did! It is a very fine salt scrub perfect for acne prone facial skin. It feels good rubbing it in and it rinses clean, leaving my face feeling refreshed. I have been using it twice a week for the past two weeks, and my acne does seem to have lessened.

Gooma's Goodies

Yep, I'm going there. I'm terrible. I have probably helped you all to gain 10 lbs just this week alone. Forgive me? If I see a mass influx of unfollowers to this wonderful blog here I'll start refraining from posting stuff like this, but until then the mouth watering goodies are going to be posted.. so there!

At Gooma's Goodies there's cheesecake that leaves me singing and wishing for more then just a view. I want a taste! It's only 10 in the morning and this pumpkin toffee cheesecake will probably be on my mind all day.

Man, I'm in trouble.

Personalized Pewter

As I've aged I've grown more and more attached to a good bottle of wine. I'm a white wine girl. What about you? I've also become increasingly more interested in collecting great bottles of wine too. That's the hostess in me. Now, I just need to find myself a huge open house that's great for entertaining and a good man that wants to be my partner in crime and I'll be all set!

At Personalized Pewter they have these amazing pewter wine racks. It holds up to nine bottles of wine and can be engraved at no extra charge. I'm pretty much head over heels about it. This would make an excellent Christmas gift or wedding gift. I want it!

Now, I just need to find a house to put this baby in.

I thought I would stick with my Thanksgiving food theme and search for a hard one: potatoes!:

Little Black Box Subscription Service

Many of you purchase a Little Black Box every single month. Some of you have even contact me to purchase a subscription. I have a handful of you that have done this and I love that service because I just automatically mail your box out to you each month and there's hassle for you.

The last time I offered this was last August. I'm back this month to offer you a special that is good until December 31st. You can read about the subscription service on the site! I look forward to sending handmade goodness to your home each and every month!

Take advantage of this now!

Sophia's

I'm not sure why suddenly I've been writing about food. Maybe because suddenly all the food is themed and delicious and I want it so badly. Perhaps it's because I've spent the last year peeling off the pounds and now I'm about to gain it all back? Gosh! I hope not!

The best part about this time of the year is all the pumpkin and peppermint goodness for sale! At Sophia's you can purchase some of this goodness. There's all sort of different comfort food that is absolutely perfect for this time of year. However, I have my eye on their peppermint bark.

Tell me that doesn't look delightful. I dare you!
