Friday Five

Happy first Friday in December! Despite the cooler temperatures, this may be in my top five favorite months. I love the holiday atmosphere and all around joy that seems to fill the air. Christmas lights lining the streets, holiday tunes on the radio and steaming mugs of hot chocolate and apple cider are a few of my favorite things. As I'm settling into my new home and finding my favorite new spots in the city, here are a few things bringing me joy this week..

 [ceramic egg crate used to store necklaces]
[holiday cheer]
 [fresh garland adorns a kitchen mirror]
[dry-erase board made out of an old frame]

What do y'all have planned for the weekend?
I'll be heading to the ACC Championship game, picking out a Christmas tree and adventuring around my new little city!

    I love the garland on the kitchen mirror. I'm also digging the dry erase board frame. Is that burlap in it?

    I had to do a double take when I read that you were going to the ACC game and not the SEC game. What's up with that? PS - I love everyone of your five picks. :)

    Fun! I like the necklace holder. That would be super useful for my earrings. I thing my necklaces are too chunky for that.
