I’m signing off for the next few days to spend Christmas with my family. But I’ll be back next week, because you know I can’t stay away from you too long. :)
Happy Holidays to you and yours!

This rubber origami crane ornament would make a great Christmas gift. I love the idea of gifting ornaments for Christmas – my mom gives me one every year. It seems to be a fairly easy DIY project, so you might still have time if you’re looking for a last-minute gift idea!
lovely new items at daughters of dawn vintage.
In its 2008 Hollywood Portfolio, Vanity Fair shot some of Hollywood’s top stars channeling iconic moments from Hitchcock’s greatest hits. It’s amazing how timeless these images are – even without context you immediately know what it is. Here are a few of my favorites (paired with their movie stills). View the entire portfolio here.

We’re expecting 3-6 inches of snow by tomorrow (I’m skeptical, but hopeful) and all I can think about is staying warm. These beautiful knits from etsy seller tortilla girl are sure to fit the bill!

I’ve been a bit behind on holiday shopping/making/baking, but was able to make some progress last night. There is still plenty to do, but I feel much less overwhelmed than I did yesterday morning. How are you doing with your holiday prep? Are you a procrastinator like me, or are you finished with your shopping/baking/etc? I’d love to know.
These origami-esque appliques on Danish children’s clothing line Bang Bang are très cool. I bet this would be a really easy DIY project to spruce up a simple shirt or sweater… Something to file away for future children!

La-la-love this look. I’m crazy over the little braid in her side-swept hairdo, and if that isn’t the perfect shade of red lipstick I don’t know what is. I am so channeling this for holiday parties this year…
