It's something I've been thinking about this year. I'm not decorating this year (recent death in the family & I'm also renovating my house) but I'm looking forward to Christmas 2013 and the sales after Christmas this year.

Probably do 2 trees, one more modern and one more traditional.

Freakin Small World! The green machine on the right is in my office building as we speak. I've met the artist who rehabilitates these machines, and some of the artists who put their art in & it's truly an enjoyable experience. They also make great stocking stuffers because of their originality.

The Splendid Table did a great discussion on this topic and recommended one that's not too porous or glass. Their store had this product listed.

I want this book SOOOO Bad! I've even convinced my mom that she should do the cure too (and she's a pack rat)...

We have bacon wrapped pepperoncini peppers with a spice rub on them. They are grilled for about 10 minutes and are a great snack! A good tip is to squeeze the juices out of the peppers before you wrap them and pin them with a toothpick.

I'd have to say hearty gumbo or a good meatball stew!

When I was in London, we went to the Notting Hill Street Market held on Saturdays. I had encountered toast stands at my bed and breakfast which we were staying and I found a silver one for only 15 Pounds. It's one of my best travel memories.

Thanks for posting this.

Those plants at the bottom look like a certain variety of sedum. We have them that get that large and bloom like that where I live.

I would love to use it on my outdoor porches to unify the sound around the house. We live in the country so it would be great to blast out some of my favorite tunes from multiple sites!

I grew up in a house full of foodies (it's the only thing we all have in common) so I always had a deep appreciation for it. I think my catalyst moment to become deeply in love with all processes of food (growth, preparation, and of course enjoyment) was when I read Michael Pollan's Omnivores Dilemma. It really changed my life and I lost 30 pounds from just looking at what I ate instead of going by it's taste or complexity.

When I was in college, I studied in the UK and happened to have the chance opportunity to have high tea at 4pm in a little pub in Canterbury. It was a magical time and the meal that accompanied it was and is my favorite thing to eat with tea.

I have never been to Spain but I love paella. It would be a great way to travel without leaving my kitchen...

I would prefer the red one but it's a difficult choice.

I'm just getting started in my fixer upper home, plan on staying here for many years and I am a recent college grad. This would make a great catalyst for all of the projects I have been putting off for a few weeks.

I know you're probably limited on space but couldn't you still put to use the nightstands elsewhere if you were to purchase the matching set?
