Midweek Thoughts: Gift Giving

Posted on December 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

A few winters ago, Mark and I were walking through Georgetown when someone’s “note” at the base of a J.Crew window caught my eye.  During a season when we shuffle between shops and sales it is important to remember what we all really need.

Gifts Ideas for the Domestic Goddess: Reading Material

Posted on December 11, 2012 | Leave a comment

As a young cook, cookbooks have been essential in my learning my way around the kitchen.  My most helpful cookbook has been one that my mom compiled for me of favorite family recipes.  If you don’t have my mom’s recipes to share these are great for those on your list.

I have either used all of these books or enjoyed these authors recipes online with great success.  So they are kitchen tested and approved.

This is the gift giving season, but it is also the whisking, mixing, baking and mess making season.  If you’re all about the cute, and you probably are, these are the perfect helpers for your kitchen clean up and kitsch decor.

I have posted about Studiopatro before (for Fall 2011) but I had to share the new items for winter 2012.

These make a lovely and generous gift for a friend, a holiday hostess or for yourself.
