This year my mom and I got into baking cookies for Christmas.  Here are a few books I’d love to have to expand the types I try next year.  Above is: The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Cookies.

It’s a tradition in my family to give the gift of books for Christmas.  I’ve been a bit slow on posting my book requests, but I’ll be posting a few of my most wanted.  I’ve been really wanting to get Lena’s Feast.

I ventured into center city this weekend to visit a friend over at Petulia’s Folly.  It’s one of the best places in Philly to shop for cute home goods,gift ideas, and amazing clothing.  I love the packaging of this 5 year diary.  If you don’t get a chance to check out the store, you can also pick up this diary here instead.

Normally I’m not a John Derian fan, but this heart paperweight is especially cute, also available at Petullia’s Folly.

I picked up one of these amazing smelling Kobo soy candles.  The Fresh Currant scent is my personal favorite.  Also available here.
