The season of giving has begun! In anticipation of my thankfulness, I expect these perfectly on-trend stationary items from the California based shop Besotted Brand to prove quite handy in the weeks ahead.

Also, a little peek at how our lovely friend and renowned artist and landscape designer, Paula Hayes, dresses her stoop for the season. These lucky trees are set inside Paula’s Dumpling Planters (see closeup below). Loving the tree/plant in bag look this season.

Last but not least, in the spirit of giving, D is extending the Mikaduki Crescent Brass Bottle Opener giveaway through 11:59 PM (EST) Sunday, November 25th. CLICK HERE TO ENTER TO WIN. Wishing you all a beautiful Thanksgiving and holiday season!
