This is my early Christmas project I am getting ready to do right after Thanksgiving!  Apothecary Jar & Bottle Brush Tree centerpieces. I have jars and bottles I can fill with lights, fake snow and ornaments and trees. I know you can find the trees at a hobby store, so simple, but so pretty!

love, k :)


---I know you love your Susan Branch...how many years have you had her calendar...as long as I can remember!!! 

Love Susan Branch...she always sums it up perfectly...xo, H

name your favorite "fast food" sandwich Sistah!

....mine is Cosi's turkey and brie, warmed and toasty on multi grain flatbread.  I could eat this every single day.  I LOVE THEM!  xo, H

I am pinning it Wednesday too!!!!

Love this idea for Halloween (use a drill)!  Maybe I'll do it next year....hate to say it, but I've made goodie bags for the neighbors and that's it.  Turning off the lights and pretending we're not here this year!  Kind of scroogey for Halloween, but it's supposed to rain, I'm sick...blah blah blah.


Love the new little royal family...George is adorable!!!!!

You're right, kids are alright.  Counting our blessings.  I LOVE your Divinity blog!!!  Can't wait for tomorrow.  Today's cracked me about her not being a great cook...she wasn't!!!!  BUT, you're right, every breakfast, lunch and dinner at their home was an "event"...down to the crumb sweeper.  We carry on a lot of her traditions...pretty tables, candles, pretty salt and pepper shakers, pretty glassware, but I haven't used the crumb sweeper!  I have it so we'll have to pull that out sometime!

Happy pinning Wednesday!  xo, H.

pin it wednesday!

Don't you just love them! Little Georgy is so cute. Kate is adorable and Will seems interested in his child! Things are changing in the Palace!

love, k :)
