\"theoakleaves\"<\/p>\n

I could not resist including these little guys! How adorable are they? I love little houses. These are made by the oak leaves<\/a>. They are called shelf cities, and they are $20 for a set of 12. Made in the US, ships internationally.<\/p>\n

French Touche<\/a> is a gorgeous little boutique in Paris that I featured in Paris: Made By Hand<\/a>. They have a terrific online website + boutique<\/a>, with tonnes of goodies, all handmade. Here are some of my favourite items…<\/p>\n

\"frenchtouche2\"<\/p>\n

Clockwise from top left: little raiku sel et poivre <\/em>by Fran\u00c3\u00a7ois Echapp\u00c3\u00a9, 24\u00e2\u201a\u00ac for the two; Barquette Piaf\u00c2\u00a0 by De Beaux Souvenirs, and other little wire cages, from 30 \u00e2\u201a\u00ac; porcelain dishes like the Coupelle Bambi\u00c2\u00a0 by Elise Lefebvre starting at 50 \u00e2\u201a\u00ac – all from French Touche<\/a>. Not all the items are for sale online though, so check the little icon under items which say ‘select for cart’ or ‘call the store’.<\/p>\n

\"PJB_xmashome1\"<\/p>\n

French baskets<\/a> from Sadie Olive<\/a>! Love. US$136.00, from Tustin, CA. Cotton Crochet Coverlet<\/a> US$265.00 from Topsy Design<\/a>, location: Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\"PJB_christmashome3\"<\/p>\n

Vintage typewriters are not only a hot decorating item these days, they also make an awesome gift for stationery & type enthusiasts. Like me! I would love a vintage typewriter. It would be a fun, slower pace way of writing – like having an anolague camera alongside a digital one. Anyway, I digress, I know. Here is a groovy Hermes 3000<\/a> from shaving kit supplies<\/a>. It’s US$220.00, location: pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

You know what else is hot for gift giving right now?<\/p>\n

\"theoakleaves_2\"<\/p>\n

\"terranium\"<\/p>\n

\"terrain_terranium\"<\/p>\n

Yep, terrariums. Here are a few I like:<\/p>\n

1. littly mossy terrariums<\/a> from the oak leaves<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0 US$30.00<\/p>\n

2. mini terrariums <\/a>from tortoise loves donkey<\/a>, starting at just US$5.00 location: california.<\/p>\n

3.\u00c2\u00a0 terrarium glass vessels<\/a> from terrain<\/a>, ranging in price, location: USA (international shipping not available)<\/p>\n

You can also try your hand at making one yourself. Sprout home<\/a> made a great how-to video for design*sponge<\/a> this past summer, click here<\/a> to watch.<\/p>\n

Now, for those of us who love spending a bit of time in the kitchen. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been rather fond of creating hampers. Here are a few treasures that I think would be great for adding to a hamper, or as stocking fillers…<\/p>\n

\"PJB_xmashome4\"<\/p>\n

top row: jenna rose<\/a> bike tea towels <\/a> US$28.00 location: ontario; skinny and bernies <\/a>mini casserole dishes<\/a> US$28.00 location: Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

second row: ‘tingle tangle’ spoons and little nesting bowls starting at US$4.00 by Atelier Oker<\/a> location: Belgium<\/p>\n

third row: I think these cotton canvas lunch bags<\/a> are such a great idea! They are made by solo handmade<\/a> and US$15.00 each location: Utrecht, The Netherlands; printed vintage white damask linen napkins<\/a> screen printed with an old recipe for irish soda bread, sold in sets of four from pilosale<\/a>, US$38.00 location: toronto<\/p>\n

fourth row: diy cheese kits from urban cheese craft<\/a> – brilliant! You can make paneer, goats cheese, mozzarella, you name it. Kits start at US $21.00 location: portland, oregon (of course); wheel thrown porcelain milk jug<\/a> from ceramic pics <\/a>US$22.00 location: California<\/p>\n

last row: bird e towels<\/a> – these are unbleached cotton towels to replace paper towels. Love it! They come in a bakers dozen, $12.00\u00c2\u00a0 from athena creates<\/a> location: US; block print kitchen towel<\/a> from home sweet<\/a> US$15.00 location: delaware.<\/p>\n

……………………………………………………<\/p>\n

well! that was a marathon start. Hope you find some neat gift ideas in there for friends and family who love their home. I’m off to bed, I need to rest these weary fingers to get ready for tomorrow’s guide. Until then, sweet dreams.<\/p>\n

Okay just one more…<\/p>\n

\"teapots1\"<\/p>\n

a samantha robinson<\/a> teapot. Isn’t it lovely? I have a few of her little vessels that I’ve collected over the years but this is too divine. Samantha has a stall at the paddington markets, in sydney on Saturdays, and at the bondi markets on sunday. You can also call or email<\/a> her direct for international inquiries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
