If you are like me this holiday season probably means a few unexpected guests dropping by for drinks.  One of my favourite ideas to make my home festive and entertaining friendly is to get a string of fairy lights and pop them in a glass dome or vase.  It gives everything a festive feel and keeps the mood lighting cocktail friendly.  Do you have any other last minute ideas to make your home festive and guest ready?

Wrap Your Christmas Gifts Beautifully This Weekend

My darlings, the Christmas season is upon us.  It's about this time that I start thinking about what theme I'll be wrapping up all the goodies in.  So far I'm in a kraft paper and bunting idea but oversized letters of using fabric could be an idea too.  Oh the choices!  Which one do you like best?
