a break from politics to be thankful

We interrupt our political party planning to talk about that most thankful of holidays - Thanksgiving.

I was over at Tangarang and saw these adorable (let me repeat) adorable felted acorns.  They are from Etsy designer truLuxe and would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table.

If Thanksgiving isn't at your home this year but you know you'll just die if you can't get your hands on these fabulous felt finds then consider ordering some and using them for hostess gifts. I love how a beautiful leather journal is spruced up by the addition of the little yellow acorn. 

get your spook on - with a book

I couldn't decided if these bookplates from Manifesto Letterpress were "get your spook on" worthy or just plain cool.  I'm so in love with them but do they really scream Halloween? In the end I decided that it just didn't matter because I dig them so much.

You could use them for a unique hostess gift for all the Halloween parties you attend this season. Give the bookplates themselves or spend a bit more time picking out some Halloween themed books that the hostess might like and add these bookplates to the inside front of the book - I know I would love a gift like this.
