Like Bell’occhio, McMaster & Storm‘s website is chock full of little luxuries. Who wouldn’t like a sweet pink notebook and some sweets? Check out all your options at their webstore.

How wonderful would it be to receive a saucier filled with sweets? Your choice of three styles (only photo is above) from Bell’occhio. A gift certificate to Bell’occhio would be heavenly as well. You cannot leave that store empty handed. It is impossible.
sardine and anchovy postcard

Leah at cricicis design (pronounced crick-a-siss) has some really cool paper goods at her etsy shop. I’d love to receive that sardine/anchovy postcard in the mail, especially in January to make me smile in a blizzard. Or cold snap.

And these Art Nouveau bookplates are so sophisticated! (I’d love the pattern as an envelope liner, too.)
p.s. Leah, your website is gorgeous.
No matter how bad it gets, no matter how busy I might be (created or actual busy), Thursday will always be magazine day. For one thing, it’s become my habit to spend a few minutes checking in with my good friend R (who by the way just got married and the pictures were stunning as the happiness was evident and plentiful). Secondly, I am a bit how shall we say OCD? And the fact that certain parts of the US were privy to December Vogue for a week now has me shaking my fists at the magazine gods. Unfair! And no matter how many magazines close due to the economy (first House & Garden, and lately Mary Engelbreit + Cottage Living) I will always be there to await the survivors. I love my internet, but it will in no way replace flipping and cutting and pasting. And anticipating.
And the photo? Well, nothing goes better with a magazine than a glass of wine. In the evening, that is …..
More later.

via cupcakes take the cake
These cupcake Christmas trees are beyond cute, and seem to have the perfect(!) amount of frosting. From Sweet, in Boston, on Mass Ave. I visited back in August and it’s a very cute little space. Hmmm, I think I need another weekend visit.
