Some of my favorite Christmas thoughts are swirling around these days. Thinking about some of these people and things. . .

It can be so crazy busy these next few weeks, but try and take the time to relish the quiet moments.  We all need them.


Aren't these the cutest little mini desserts?

Found them here: http://daisyt13.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/santa-hat-brownies/  at daisy's world. Nice and easy Christmas(non)baking with the kids...if you buy the brownies.


Oh, and the winner of our 2nd free SWITCH Giveaway is. . .  

of Harrington Park, who will be receiving her red mercury votive holders just in time for the Holidays. Congrats Sandy!

The shop is ready. All decked out.  It feels so good to begin the Christmas Season, finally. 

Hope you all can stop by sometime between 6-9 for our 
SWITCH Wine & Cheese Christmas tomorrow night, Wednesday December7th.
