and just I love her taste so I thought it would be fun to have her share some favorites. Here are some of mine from her blog:
Don’t laugh at my chalkboard lettering..I’m working on it! There is something relaxing about coloring on a chalkboard though…
This year I just used a fresh $5 black friday cedar garland from Home Depot (cut in half), some mercury lights from Target clearance last year, a jingle bell wreath from a couple of years ago, some pinecones, and a piece of chalk for my chalkboard that used to be a thriftstore painting.
Tomorrow we will have another blogger sharing Favorite Things (you’ll love her too!) and don’t forget our favorite things party on 12.12.12:
See you back here tomorrow~ I updated some deals here today!
and she was every bit as wonderful as I thought she would be~Kristin and I loved hanging out with her. Let me share a few of my favorites from her blog:
Here is the link to print it out, if you would like. Merry Christmas!
by Robert Sabuda : this is a gorgeous pop-up book, but the paper tears easily, so it’s a read-with-a-grown-up-book that doesn’t go in the book basket with the others.
Here is my inspiration at Pottery Barn. We’re going to do much better than $50 though.
“From my mother, I learned the value of prayer. How to have dreams and believe I could make them come true. I was raised to believe that God has a plan for everyone, and that seemingly random twists of fate are all a part of His plan. My mother told me that everything in life happened for a purpose. She said all things were part of God’s plan...even the most disheartening setbacks, and in the end, everything worked out for the best. If something went wrong, she said, you didn't let it get you down: you stepped away from it, stepped over it, and moved on."

Do you ever come across little things that look like they could belong to SOMETHING? Toss them in a pretty dish and next time you are wondering where the part to the camera tripod is, or why the dishwasher basket isn’t staying in place, or where in the world is the plastic thing-y that controls the elastic on Logan’s fleece pullover, you will know just where to look.
320 Sycamore is 4 years old! How can that be?? When I began, I said it was about “bringing out the charm and potential in our homes and families with a bit of nonsense and good deals scattered here and there.” I’ve tried to hold true to that, but honestly on some days, not posting is the best thing I can do for my family.
As we voted yesterday, I couldn’t help but think, will this even matter? This one vote? But today, I am grateful for a bigger vote I have: the influence in my home.
No matter who leads in national and local governments, the largest movement for good I can or ever will have is right here in my home. I can inspire what goes on here. The mood in our home, how I respond to situations, how we take care of our money, how we deal with struggles and setbacks, what we teach our children about God, helping others, kindness, and love. Even monotonous things that make life a little easier for the ones I love like good food and clean socks. Some days it doesn’t seem like much. In fact, most days I wonder if I am doing any good and that I may be taking us backward. I have to believe though, that when my kids look back at their childhood, this or that election will be tiny compared to the feeling that we had in our home.
