Encourage the imagination with this story telling dice and notepad.

The set is a game to encourage story telling and writing. To play, you roll the dice which features images of objects, people or settings and tell a story based on the pictures that appear. You then create a story based on the images you rolled.

If there could be only one store I could shop in I could easily say it would be Anthropologie. I can go to their store and browse for a long enough time that the sales people are probably wondering about me. Here are a few things  for the home that caught my eye and would make great gifts.

A milk maid butter dish would look so pretty on the counter. Equally adorable is this jam pot.

These Mix Well recipe cards would work be a perfect addition with any of these homemade treats from Smitten Kitchen’s Gift-Worthy selection. And my favorite? This Wise Ol’ Cookie Jar.

Any of these items would work well along with our Red Pajamas Home aprons and tea towels for the perfect gift. You can view the full selection from Red Pajamas Home here.

Sweet Paul

The second issue of Sweet Paul is a Fall edition full of my favorite things – great food and decorating ideas.

The Picnic in the Forest recipes make me want to dust off my wicker picnic basket and try the Chevré and Honey Open-Faced Sandwich. I’m always up for trying a new soup recipe so the hearty looking Butternut Squash and White Bean Stew is now on my list.

There are so many delicious looking recipes but this salted caramel chocolate cake is calling my name and singing happy birthday to me. (Yes, I believe in making my own birthday cake.)

If you are like me and finding it hard to admit that Christmas is around the corner, take some time to enjoy this Fall edition now. Then dive into the Holiday issue out on November 15th with promises of crafts, cookies and candy to get you in the holiday spirit.

I was in the grocery store yesterday and was surprised to see all the thanksgiving food displays and sales going on. I came home to tell my husband to which he replied, “Well, it is only 2 weeks away.”

oh.

So, yes, I guess it’s officially that time again. I don’t know about your little girl, but mine will definitely be requesting a special dress for the upcoming occasions. In fact she already has asked for a new winter dress. “Maybe you can buy me one, or maybe you can just make me one because that would easier.”

I’ve been looking at some fabric options and thought I’d share some of my favorites.

Holly at Decor8 has just shared some beautiful calendars for 2011. Last year for Christmas gifts I purchased this printable calendar on Etsy from Sweet Beets.

It was super easy to do (with my trusty paper cutter) and I added a hole punch at the top and a ribbon. It was the perfect gift for something small but not too small – I highly recommend it.

For more calendar ideas check out the four posts from Decor8 starting with this one.
