Etsy Item of the Day: Ombre Tree Skirt
I adore the gradient of colors on this Ombre Tree Skirt. And the ruffles? Oh, yes! This tree skirt is absolutely beautiful. The rich shades of red ruffles exude elegance. I’d love to have one under my tree!

Raymond Around the World: Orlando
Another one of the places Raymond went this year was Orlando, Florida. With so many theme parks in Orlando, there is definitely a lot to do. We didn’t have time to visit all the parks on this trip, but maybe we will go back again sometime. Can you guess where he went?
Universal Studios! Neither Raymond nor I had been to Universal Studios, so this was a special treat for both of us. The first thing we saw as we approached the entrance was the BIG spinning globe. Raymond was so excited, so naturally we had to stop to take a few pictures.
Raymond is so thrilled to be here!
We spent the day in the park visiting shops, admiring the sights, and, of course, riding rides! Some of the rides we went on were ET, Terminator, Men in Black, and Twister.

The next day we went to Islands of Adventure. As soon as we walked through the turnstiles, we were greeted by happy surprise—the Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe! We strolled into the shop, taking a gander at the walls covered with ornaments from floor to ceiling. What a beautiful sight. 🙂
The Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe reminded Raymond of home.
After we left the Christmas shop, we explored the wild jungle of Jurassic Park, took a trolley ride through Dr. Seuss’ imagination, rode through the storybook The Cat in the Hat, and watched Spiderman defend justice!
Raymond discovered a giant dinosaur footprint!
While all the rides were a lot of fun, Raymond and I were really stoked about visiting Harry Potter World. We walked up and down the streets, peeking into the windows of many of the shops. We even bought some butterbeer and pumpkin juice from one of the street vendors.

Can you take a guess at where else Raymond went this year?
Etsy Item of the Day: Holiday Card Set
Whimsical designs always catch my eye. Add cute little animals to the mix, and I’m hooked! This set of holiday cards is a mix of three different designs: a fox, a hedgehog, and Season’s Greetings.

Etsy Item of the Day: Our First Christmas
I adore the simplicity of this holiday ornament. These wooden love birds are laser engraved with “Our First Christmas” and the date. Do you have any friends or family members that got married this year? This ornament would make a nice gift as the newlyweds celebrate their first Christmas as Mr. & Mrs.

Etsy Item of the Day: Mountain Range Pillow
I’d like to put this mountain range pillow on my sofa or even on a book case! It would add a cozy accent of winter wherever it is placed. Since I’m all about recycling, I think it’s really awesome that the wool is repurposed, upcycled, and locally sourced.
