Chrissi B! Restoration Hardware, Smith and Hawkins and other fabby finds ...

With the holiday season quickly approaching, I am suddenly feeling a bit "overbooked". Our calendar is feeling up rapidly as is our free time to hunt and gather, package and .....Well, you know. I need more time!

Cutest Hubby and I spent the day running errands Saturday and doing some Christmas shopping. The stores in our area were busy and the shoppers were buying. It was a delight, but then I began to see that there didn't seem to be a lot to choose from. While Holiday decorations and gift ideas filled the shelves, there was not as much as last year. Does that mean that we all need to shop a bit earlier as all of the "good stuff" will be gone? I am starting to get a bit nervous.
So in an effort to make my holiday frenzy a bit more relaxed, I have made my lists and started some serious online shopping. A few of my favorite finds include:

Smith and Hawkin offer this set of 72 cut crystals to scatter and instantly glam up any table setting. These gems are hand cut and only available during the holiday season. Great for a vase filler too ...And a real steal at only $22 a set. Fun bit of bling for the girls, don't you think?
Love them! Need them!

While there, take a peek at The Most Beautiful Garden coffee table book. On sale at less than $30, it is a great find for the gardeners among us.

A click to Restoration Hardware, and I have the perfect throws and the cutest teddy's all tied up with some great slipper finds and even a monogrammed robe! Love it! The colors are scrumptious and the quality is great ...prices starting at $20 .... Love it!



Crate and Barrel offer these colorful plates for dessert or dinner ...Jewel toned lovelies that will be great after the holidays to brighten up any table. Pick up some wine gift tags and paper goods here too. Free shipping on many items. Love it!

If you are traveling for Christmas, consider having your "goodies" shipped to your destination. This will save you time and trouble of double shipping and double packing. ...enjoy!
