Hump Day Poll: Hobbies

My mom had a ton of hobbies.  She was a scrapbooker , cardmarker, diamond art  maker, slot machine jockey, bingo player, cross stitcher , occasional sewing thrown in when I was a kid to save money.  She loved being creative.  I also love being creative but haven't done much on that front.  I suppose you could say my Etsy shop is about as creative as I've gotten lately but hobbies that become something you depend on money for, it becomes less fun and more job.  (Not that that's producing anything right now anyway since I've not done a single thing with it yet this year because of the house chaos but I digress.)  I have this bad habit of going full force into ideas and pooping out on them.  I still have a bin full of stuff to make risers for stuff like soap, tea kettles , etc waiting for me to do something with them.  I have drawers full of stuff for craft projects that rarely get touched and then inherited a bunch of Mom's stamps and card m...

Window Shopping: Holiday Crushes

*REMINDER!  For those of you who said on Facebook you would like to participate again in my "share your holiday cheer" post, I need your submissions by Monday, December 10th.   Send me pictures of your trees, holiday display, holiday decor or favorite holiday tradition and they'll go up in a post on the 18th.  Message me on Facebook or email me at:

It's that time of year when I look at Christmas decor that I have zero room for but hey, it's still fun to window shop, right?  Let's get moving.

World Market has these gorgeous Wood Houses In Glass Cloches LED Light Up Decor Set Of 2.


They would look so cute on a mantel at either end or each on a coffee table.  It'd be so nice to have the lights off with the tree and these plugged in giving some cozy ambiance.

Pier 1 has this adorable Hot Cocoa Essentials Latte Mug.


Oh my goodness, hot cocoa would taste so much better in this super cute mug!  Unfortunately, my mug cupboard runneth over.

Sur La Table has this gorgeous Snowy Lane Dishware Set.


I can only imagine how much better a meal tastes on this adorable set.  Actually, I couldn't help getting one plate because cookies just look too cute on it but the set, so cute.  (Don't worry Mr, one should suffice.)

Sur La Table also has these super cute Holiday Sweet Treat Boxes.


Given how many treats I've already made this year, these would be perfect for the treats yet to be made!

Joss & Main has this super cute Holiday Tartan House Christmas Decorative Sculpture.  (Sculpture?!?)


There's apparently an LED light inside that gives off a soft glow.  Le sigh.  Mama's a sucker for plaid and buffalo check (before it became saturated.)

I guess I'll stop now.  You guys know I could go on forever about Christmas!

What are your holiday crushes?  (Things, trends, activities, etc)

    Those are all neat. I like them. I could see some of your treats in that treat box and I know I'd be happy to get one!

    I can't say I've seen a lot, mostly because when I've shopped I've zeroed in on what was on my list to get and got out of the stores pronto! LOL But I will say I was at a dentist's office yesterday and one of the trees had "garland" that was silver snowflakes, but looked more like jewelry charms that was really interesting to look at. Never seen anything like it, but the gal said it was from Hobby Lobby. Very cute on a small tree like that.
