Etsy Item of the Day: Reluctant Reindeer Print

Oh my, I practically melted when I saw this adorable print! Featuring a basset hound who is the rather reluctant reindeer for a little girl’s sleigh ride venture, this is one of my favourite prints that I’ve ever seen on Etsy. Not only does the artist have a great style, but she captured the basset hound perfectly. I mean, look at those droopy ears and chunky feet! 😀 This cuteness is also available as a card.

Amazing Synchronized Christmas Lights

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! Tonight Santa will make his big trip around the world, and I’m sure many of you are spending today wrapping your last few gifts, cooking a delicious meal, or perhaps spending some time with loved ones. Whatever you’re busy with today, if you need a short, festive break, check out the videos below of Christmas lights synchronized with songs—some with Christmas carols and some with songs a little less traditional, but fun nonetheless 🙂 These awesome videos will have you tapping your toes and wondering exactly how many lights these folks have on their houses!

I think the Star Wars house is my favourite with the “Carol of the Bells” house a close second. Let me know which video you liked best in the comments!

Etsy Item of the Day: Heart Embroidery Hoop Ornament

Filled with some of the charm Raymond & I experienced in Savannah, this heart embroidery hoop ornament would be a sweet addition to your Christmas tree—or you could simply hang it on your wall! With embroidered and beaded details, this 3-inch hoop is just darling. [Psst… Not digging these colours? The Etsy shop has loads of colourways to choose from.]
