The Daily Eat: Brown Sugar Baked Apples + Brown Sugar Roundup.

Holiday Make It #3: Perfect Boxes.

One of my biggest gifting pet peeves is when I can’t find a box that fits perfectly. I don’t want it to be too big, where I have to cram in a wad of tissue paper. Or too small, where the box is literally all bent out of shape. Luckily for me – and all of your other perfectionists – Sharilyn of lovelydesign is the same way. And took the initiative to create a pattern and set of instructions for the rest of us.

Paper Floral Wreaths.

To say that I’m obsessed with this paper floral wreath from Dana and Carol would be a huuuge understatement. It also makes me think that a red/pink/silver/champagne Christmas might not be such a bad idea for decorating my own little cave. (There are only a few wreaths left in the shop right now, but you can convo them about other colorways that aren’t currently for sale.) {via That’s Happy}
