A Brief Christmas Roundup

We received a number of great gifts this Christmas. Below are just two of them.

Lauren bought me this Pantone mug from Heliotrope. I bet I just made all you graphic designers out there swoon - unless, of course, 3272 C is not to your liking.

The lovely ladies of Jac, a local Atlanta boutique we adore (we've been following their blog since the beginning), sent us these reusable shopping bags. I've been wanting some of these for a while. I love how they come in little small pouches so I can keep them in my purse and never have to use another plastic bag again. So, thank you dearest Jac!

The front of the card says "I'll be home for Christmas (And in therapy the day after)." Makes me smile every time I see it.

    Jac is a cool boutique. Lucky you!
    That is my kind of colour. Ho Ho Pantone stuff is always cool. Great conversation starter wouldn't you say? I wonder if they would do uncoated stuff as well? !

    Now.. you asked me the most tricky question. I wouldn't know. The recipes seem to have the more or less the same stuff - east, flour, warm water etc. It's the shape I guess and the way it's 'proven'.. or was that a 'philosophical' question? Dang.

    The reusable bags are a great idea. And love the coffee mug! Are other Pantone colours available?

    So many stylish bloggers are so environmentally friendly - I love it!

    Songy, I'll have to look into the Pantone uncoated thing. And no, it wasn't a philosophical question - although I should say it was to make me sound more enlightened.

    Lisa, yes there are a number of colors available. I would just google "pantone mugs" because a lot of the online stores have sole out of them.

    Yeah, I love that mug. It's a perfect contrast against the brilliant pink of your nails. I think any Graphic Designer would swoon at a gift like that.

    Happy New Year, girls!

    Kokostiletto, we do have a lululemon in Atlanta, but I've never been. I need to go!

    Thanks for stopping by, Ike!

    Yiqin, aren't those colors fun! And they match my nails.

    Mr. Style, I can't believe they have Pantone mugs at Disney.

    Amie, me too! I'll add it to my Christmas card collection.

    Sal, it was totally unintentional! Must have been in my subconscious or something ;).

    Jac, thank you so much again! We love the bags!

    Maeko, you're right. It would be the perfect gift for a graphic designer!

    Fashion Tibits, you said it!

    Those bags are adobable. I just carry a canvas tote I got from a bookstore - enviromentally friendly, saves money, however, not to chic to be advertising for your local academic bookstore while shopping groceries :)
