When I checked the weather last night, my source said today we would have a "wintery mix". I pictured a handmade cassette tape with snow flakes on it. When we awoke to find a white fluffy blanket of snow throughout our neighborhood, it came clear to me.
If you have a dog, then you know that when it snows they move about on two speeds only. 
1) So fast they are a fuzzy blur and 2) A dead stop, slightly shivering.
Head on over to Threadbanger to read how to make a Pomegranate Place Card Holder for your holiday table.
I love clusters of hung photos, illustrations and old post cards. This is a grouping that hangs in our office. 
What are your favorite clusters in your home?
Right now New York is having it's first official snow of the season. There was a mini-flurry a couple of weeks ago, but today marks the first official snow!
It was a bit too chilly for Gracie's taste.
It makes me nostalgic for past snow days.
If it's snowing where you live, enjoy!
Really rad holiday decor ideas!

A great choice for holiday shopping is the lovely shop of independent artists and designers, My Bonnie and Clyde.

It's officially winter, and has been for a couple of weeks now. When I ventured outside this morning Jack Frost didn't just nip at my nose, he straight up bit it. 
Ahh, I wish I were Gracie. Then this would be my job all day....
#1- Sidedish
As you hunt and gather the perfect holiday gifts, be sure to check your small shops and independent businesses. There is nothing greener than supporting the little man. One of my favs is Sidedish, run by the most lovely of ladies. With a quirky keen eye, Alison finds the coolest pieces to bring home with you or give as a gift. Like this adorable owl wall hanging. He is fantastic.
This monogrammed bag would be a great gift for a mom, sister or friend. 
This serving dish would be perfect for your hostess with the mostest or anyone who appreciates mid-century design.
Check out Sidedish for many more gift options!
