Cool Gift Guide at Grrl

Anna's sock dog Pickleberry is adorable! via a.lifeuncommon and loobylu.

I agree with Carolyn, this week's Knitter's Review - Year In Review is good.

Today's Daily Candy is about Wooloop. It's a bit of wool you tie around your wrist or ankle, and then take a shower and let it felt itself into an accessory. Oh boy, RedLipstick has something to say about it. (Dec. 20th entry)

Gin wrote to tell me Lush is open! She was the third customer! Just in case: it is at 240 Powell Street in San Francisco's Union Square, just down the street from The Body Shop :)

In the plans for holiday food: chex mix, itty bitty gingerbread houses surrounded by huge chocooate trees, and another attempt at not disgracing my family recipe for osgood pie.

I love this decorating for christmas in 1950's style via going bridal. "An ad for Miller High Life beer shows this Styro-foam Christmas tree form used to hold toothpicked hors d'oeuvres, such as olives, small weiners, and cheese balls rolled in herbs." I must make one of those.
