Pinterest Picks (And A Reminder!)

Before I get to this week's Pinterest Picks, I want to remind all of my local folks that I'll be selling at the Bucktown Holiday Art Show this weekend with 99 other awesome people. It's from 12 to 5 both days, and you can get directions and free admission passes right here. This is my third year doing the show, and the vendors are always amazing. Definitely worth a look if you still have more gifts to buy!

Anyhoodle, let's get some eye candy on. This is an adorable way to package homemade Christmas potpourri, and it's sure to make your house smell amazing:


What a cheerful little scene! I'm dying to get my hands on some of the old furniture we have around the house, but one thing at a time. Get through this weekend first, Paige.


This bow is just adorable. Sadly it's already sold, but this Etsy shop has a ton of other vintage rings to drool over:


Soup is one of my favorite things to make in the winter. Mainly because throwing things into a pot is about as easy as it gets, but also because I love any excuse for bread-dunking. This roasted cauliflower and white cheddar combination sounds delicious:


Back when we were spending 600 years looking for dining room chairs, we discussed buying different ones at thrift stores and just painting them the same color. We ended up finding something else, but I still do love the idea:


So what's on deck for you this weekend? Anybody else have a show? Or maybe you get so paint some furniture and I'll be a little jealous? How's your holiday shopping coming along?

  1. Wonderful finds. Pinterest is good for keeping ideas until you have time to try them. The soup looks wonderful. TFS!

  2. It's my dream to get a long, narrow, weathered wood dinner table when we own a place. It being narrow will cause our guests to knock knees and be able to reach across easily... a quick way to shatter formalities!
    I've always loved the idea of the mismatched chairs. Imagine hunting for them, individually... Such fun!

  6. Heya! Have fun at your show! I'm sure you'll have great success!

    The painted chairs are so inspired. I love that blue. And the soup...I wish I was getting that as meals on wheels today!

    In order to stay happy this season, I bought all our presents online this year. Free shipping is my friend!

    This weekend: Mr. Hausfrau dragging our eldest to a germy kid gym for a birthday party. I'm going to lay low, perhaps make some things for Christmas dinner that can be frozen ahead of time?

    Happy Weekend!

  13. Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar
    one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback?
    If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you
    can suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

  15. When you want to buy Twitter followers, there are numerous packages on offer online.

    It has millions of active users who promote their products
    and services, network with their friends, send messages and much more.
    In other words: you don’t need every Tom, Dick
    and Harry to follow you on Twitter; you need people who are in your
    niche, people who are interested in the product or service you are offering.

  16. Now this should be done carefully as different Xbox
    games offers different amount of free codes. Before you log
    onto Facebook to change your status to something about how you got
    reamed by Microsoft on Christmas, you need to visit
    and give our Godsend of a generator a click and get your free Xbox Live codes.
    There is nothing open and even if there were you spent way too much
    money on gifts.

  17. Before long you will notice that your hands remain soft
    and silky all the time. That previous British maxim states that 'Knowing your enemy is battle 50 % won'.
    This is probably the first option that comes to mind for most
    people.
