And the Holiday Season Has Begun

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! I hope you had a wonderful food filled long weekend with family and friends!  While I'm sad that my favorite holiday has come and gone,  there are a few things I'm excited for as the holiday season gets into full swing...

Another Cute Personalized Gift Idea: iPhone Cases

When I don't have the time/money to make something myself, I still love giving personalized gifts.  (Like these custom blankets)   Plum Street Prints makes some darling little custom iPhone cases that I think could make a great  holiday gift for a friend or colleague.  At $55 they're a bit more pricey than your average phone cover (aroudn $35 from Apple) but they're completely personal, and I think it's worth a little splurge for something someone will use every day.

I love the large scale monogram on this chevron version:

I'm not quite ready for holiday music, but this video feels perfectly festive in a Parisian way.

Happy Friday: Celebrate Colorfully

I love this illustration from Kate Spade's  "Guide to Living Colorfully"  Here's to hoping you have a fun weekend ahead!

Baking Style Edition: Some Serious Cinnamon Bread

Back in the spring I bookmarked this recipe from Joy the Baker and when I finally got to making it, it exceeded expectations.  I love cinnamon and this is quite possibly the best cinnamon bread out there. It was tough to find the time to wait for the dough to rise (twice!)  but I will definitely be making it again.  It's a great brunch treat and I think it will be perfect during the holidays so I just had to share.   Click through for the full the recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread (and Joy's amazing photo tutorial).

Enjoy!
