Stocking time!

So, I know not everyone is ready for the holidays, but if we’ve been friends for any amount of time, you’re probably aware of my Christmas obsession.  Plus, the addition of kid number three right before the holidays/feeling essentially miserable being this pregnant have given me motivation to get things done early. Our stockings are hung by the chimney with care (yay for having a mantle!) already, and we'll be putting up our tree tonight (first artificial tree ever for me - still not quite sure how I feel about it...).  I’m working some kind of combo fall/Christmas tablescape in the dining room since we’ll be hosting Thanksgiving here, but otherwise it's all Christmas, all the time.  Anyways, the point is that I’ve had a lot of people ask about our stockings over the past few years, and I thought I’d  take the opportunity to provide the information, as well as some other adorable options.  Maybe it will cut down on shopping time for even just a few of you?


Here’s our set-up above (as always, a beautiful iPhone photo).  This year I added these ornaments from Target.  They’re cute and cheap and can be changed up whenever the fancy strikes.  Linking these stockings as well as other fun options below (click on the photos for the link)!

These are ours...Pottery Barn's Channel Quilted Velvet Stocking (In Ivory, Medium size).  I started buying these when Eloise was a baby because I figured they would never stop making them.  The only thing is that the font is a little different any time I order for a new child (like sizing and the fact that Emmett’s is in bold) so if you have extreme OCD tendencies, it will drive you bonkers.  It does drive me bonkers, but not enough to re-order.  Haha.


Can't get over the cuteness of the knitted ones from West Elm, especially the one on the left.


A felt version from West Elm.

Love these McGee & Co. Stockings.


And this red plaid one from the Hearth and Hand line at Target.


And this one from the same line.


Another Target one from the Sugar Paper line (do yourself a favor and look at everything they designed while you're there :).  There's another version with a pink pom as well.  


Because Anthro can do no wrong.


P.S.  In terms of stocking holders, I went with basic ones so we could put other things on the mantle, but these are my other favs...marble and tree ones from West Elm, an adorable little house (Anthro), cute bunnies (Anthro), this cute little village (Target), and more houses (Target).

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod .  I'm sure this is no surprise.  As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there.  And we continue to loooove, love, love their products.  SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products .  I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then.  And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time.  In love.  And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults).  Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing...  I need to stop.   Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card .  Yep, that's right.  I'm pretty stinking excited.  I kind of wish I could enter!  For details,

Another Chewbeads Giveaway - Open until 6/11.

YAY!   Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson !   Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog.  Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away.   So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time!   Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months.   Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it).   And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them.   She’s convinced they are hers, I assume.   So...Who can enter? Anyone – Old readers, new
