Textured Gift Wrap || C.R.A.F.T.

Today I am over at C.R.A.F.T. sharing a tutorial on my textured gift wrap for her Wrap It Up series.  I like to keep things simple, especially during this hectic time of shopping and preparing.  I generally do not use the typical Christmas color combinations of green and red, but you can easily change this to fit your taste.   There are also other tutorials for this series, which you can find in this post.

So are you done shopping for the holidays?  Do you wait last minute?

Etsy Find || Pigeon Toe

I stumbled upon Pigeon Toe this past Black Friday and was immediately drawn to its clean aesthetic.  I love the simplicity of their white ceramics yet striking designs.  There is something calming and peaceful about this shop, and I can already imagine where some of their pieces would go in my home.   Maybe we can convince them to make faceted drawer pulls too?  Pigeon Toe was a featured Etsy seller back in 2010, which you can read more about their shop.  All their products are made in Portland, Oregon.
