Tag-gy Tuesday!

Undoubtedly, I am a lover of all things paper so it comes as no surprise that I am always looking at gift tags for cool new ideas! 

A few of the favorites I have seen so far this holiday season! 

Here's to Tag-gy Tuesday... 

Not to be confused with tacky, which accurately and admirably describes the tour our limo ride took us on this past weekend in Richmond. Let me tell you -- those houses fabulously decked to the nines!

Brackets Galore

After a weekend filled with talk of brackets -- March Madness brackets that is -- I thought some of us might enjoy looking at brackets in a fresh light, the decorative brackets of course! Brackets are used in all sorts of home decorating, paper goods, jewelry, and more. 

So, on the Monday after the start of the infamous "Dance" that comes this time every March, I share with you brackets with a flair! 

For entry ways needing a table but which have too narrow a space, this is a perfect solution! 

BHG suggests topping a trio of sleek metal brackets with a rustic antique floorboard.

Wedneday's Wonder - A Fresh Calendar!

Call me old fashion but I still need a calendar at my desk! I know, I know, we are living in a day filled with electronic contraptions designed to organize our life, but I still can't live without a calendar. 

Not to mention, there is something ceremonial about starting a fresh, new calendar year with a fresh new calendar and getting to rip off each month - I especially get excited ripping off the next couple of months in anticipation for spring and summer!

So, in case you are still searching for the perfect 2012 calendar - whether it be for your office, home desk, kitchen window sill, vanity, etc, - here are a few of my latest favorites.

Cheers to January's clean slate!!
