Three Tier Wall Jewelry Stand.
I’m digging this Three Tier Wall Jewelry Stand. Pretty sure I’d be using the bottom row of hooks exclusively for scarves and small bags though instead of necklaces. It’s just too perfect.

The Daily Eat: Tricked-Out Caramel Apples.
Truth be told, I never saw what the big deal is about caramel or candy apples. I mean, the gooey parts get stuck behind your front teeth and underneath it all, well, it’s just an apple. Then I saw CHOW’s version of Tricked-Out Caramel Apples and totally get it…

Holley Portraits.
Check out the instructions for creating a Holley Portrait on Daniel Eatock’s site. I’m totally doing this…
Write a short text about yourself (300 words min / 500 words max) include interests, likes, dislikes, future plans etc. Using black ink make a careful print from your thumb. Enlarged your black and white thumb print to approximately the size of your face. Using a clean sheet of A3 paper, handwrite your text following the contour lines from your thumb print (you can use tracing paper, or thin copy paper) Final result: You should have a combination of your own words, in your handwriting, in the pattern of your finger print forming a personal self portrait.

DUKTIG Coffee + Tea Set.
I’m loving the DUKTIG children’s coffee and tea set that’s currently at IKEA. The entire set is designed in heavy duty porcelain and the colors just couldn’t be any better. In my opinion there needs to be an adult version!

Halloween Ribbon Wreath.
Love, love this idea for a Halloween ribbon wreath. So simple and stylish – especially if you’re not one to go all out for the 31st. I’d actually like to adapt this to other holidays as well!
Supplies:
12″ foam wreath form
24 yards 1 1/4″ black grosgrain ribbon (or less if using a wider ribbon)
Scissors
Measuring tape
Steps:
Directions:
Cut 45-50 16″ pieces of ribbon. Tie one strand of ribbon in a knot around the wreath. I used a “messy knot” — right over left, then right over left again, pulling in the opposite direction. It doesn’t really matter how you do it as long as you are consistent all the way around. Repeat with the knots, pushing them close together, until you fill the wreath. Cut one long piece of ribbon (48″) and tie one end to form a knot. Leave a long loop for hanging and tie another knot onto the wreath. Trim any frayed or long ends.
