'Tis the season!

Every year, I leave my husband and kiddos for four days and go for a long weekend of holiday shopping with my Mom, my Aunt Liz and Liz’s daughter Jen, who is like a sister to me.  The weekend is a celebration of my mother’s birthday, and for me, marks the official start of the holiday season. 

So, now that my mind is set firmly in gift-shopping mode, I’m dedicating the next two weeks of posts to great gift ideas.  Some gifts will be local finds and some available on the web, but all will be home design-y and wonderful.  So stay tuned...and happy shopping!
