a little gift guide

Vintage Holiday Cover: be it a framed vintage magazine cover or a decorative figurine, something that speaks to a place with special meaning can be the most thoughtful and original gift / Earrings, David Yurman / Espresso cups, Mikasa: from the jewelry box to the kitchen cupboard, objects with a timeless design most quickly become one's daily staples / Pillow, John Robshaw / vintage unused stamps, Verde Studio / Valentine's card, sugar paper / potted wishflower, branch

My Matchbook teammates and I selected our favorite stocking stuffers for the season – and they just happen to be up on the Huffington Post!! I hope you enjoy my little collage – I could not be more grateful to Fallon and Katie for helping me pull together one darn stylish stocking! XXO

PS. We'd be oh so grateful if you'd show your appreciation and vote on your favorite slides!

Happy Friday!
Valentine's day is approaching and I must admit, my fondest memories of this holiday are the ones I spent making handmade doily valentine's cards for friends in elementary school, during the ongoing excitement of giving out/getting necco's sweethearts and giggling at their suggestive imprints. I also must write that I have always had wonderful Valentine's days with Scott, but the holiday only seems to reinforce what I know the other 364 days of the year.
Here are a couple fun Valentine's gifts I picked out at the Cursive shop (I'm always up for good gifts!).
