Datebooks with a Nostalgic Touch

Do you still use a datebook? Now that it's the start of a new year, what does yours look like?

Mine is this metallic gold that works as a daily planner and gratitude journal. I even have this little case for business cards to match. Why not? Go for gold in 2013!

Before I got this one, I was considering these:

1/2/3

Special editions of the simple yet functional Moleskine datebooks. But I couldn't choose! The Little Prince, The Peanuts Gang and Star Wars are all very close to my heart.

Whether or not you still use one, may they days and nights of your 2013 be always TADA!

A New Calendar for a New Year

Happy New Year my dear friends! I hope your holidays were fun and memorable. Mine were absolutely TADA!

As we begin a new year, we turn a new leaf and quite literally, that's the theme of today's post -- calendars. Even if we've got built-in calendars in our computers and mobile phones, I still feel the need to have the old fashioned kind: a wall calendar which I keep in the kitchen {scribbled with appointments and dates to remember}, and a desk calendar {for a quick reference when remembering deadlines and planning meetings or a get together}. 

The calendars I have are usually freebies from a bank or airline, but if I were to spend some money, these would be on top of my list:

A calendar that's wild and colorful. And with double purpose, too. When the month is over, simply tear off the page and turn this into gift boxes, a file folder or a bookmark {instructions included}. How's that for blah to TADA!

Desk calendars that can be used year after year. One is made of magnets, and the other, made of puzzle bricks. A fair warning: assembly required at the beginning of each month.

The prints on these wall calendars are adorable. The first is a little bit retro, and the second one whisks us away to dreamy destinations. At the end of the year, I'd pick my favorite pages and put these in picture frames...a lovely way to dress up an office or playroom.

Happy New Year!

 Wishing you all a beautiful beginning!

I'm taking a short holiday break. 

I'll see you soon!

To a Bright & Hopeful New Year

Love and Joy

As I take a brief holiday break, here are a few photos of the magical display at Tiffany's.

Wishing you and your family love and 

joy this season!

A Season of Sparkle

I'm taking a short blogging break. I hope you've been enjoying the photos of the windows at Tiffany & Company.

I hope your holidays are sweet and sparkly!

Season's Greetings

I'm taking a holiday break for the next two weeks. While we won't be crafting, I'm sharing a few inspiring photos from the windows at Tiffany's on 5th Avenue:

I wish you the best of the holidays!
