Check it, the dickie is back. 

Okay, so maybe they’re not really making a comeback .  This dickie is what Josh opened up last night in the “wearable dirty santa exchange” at our friend Calder Clark’s Festivus party.  Pretty sweet though, right?
PS, I might be in trouble when Josh sees this…  Happy Holidays, Sweetie!!  xoxo

I just can’t help myself.  There are so many talented gals right here in the holy city of Charleston, SC that it is absolutely necessary to put together a gift guide featuring these sweet ladies.  Consider this to be your southern, most hospitable gift guide for the season.

*Get some Cutey for the Bootie’s for the little babes in your life.
*The most delightful hammered gold & champagne quartz ring by Kate Davis.
*Your pets really should look good too, it’s easy with Harry Barker’s help.
*A sweet hand painted pillow cover at Novel.
 *Impress with these letterpress “sourcie” tags by Tara Guerard.
*Keep her stylish & warm in this coat by Barbara Beach.
*A little vintage for a girlfriend? How about this fuchsia fan clutch at Novel.
*You deserve and need new Marysia Swimwear for your winter getaway.
*Really, who wouldn’t want these black diamond seedling earrings by Jane Pope Collection?
*For the art and decor lover, how about a Sally Benedict original?

*Troubadour, for that style maven in your life.
*Original art is always a good gift, especially when it’s by Kate Long Stevenson.
*Callie’s Biscuits – cheese & chive, country ham, cinnamon- they’re all amazing. Trust me.
*THE laptop bag to be seen carrying, by Alesya Bags.
*Custom stationary, always a great gift for anyone on your list. Available at Novel.
*For the couples needing to get a bit frisky this holiday season… Forty Beads.
*Vintage jewels by Candy Shop Vintage for that bright old soul on your list.
*Last year’s suits no longer fit, so get the kids some shiny new Marysia Swimwear.
*Colorful and socially conscious cosmetic bags by Proud Mary.
*And for all those “tinys” in your life luxury Pixie Lily clothing.

I put together this post while sitting by our tree, listening to Christmas music, with a 5+ pound sleeping babe by my side.  Life be good.

Ohhhh talk about the cuteness.  I’m DYING to make it into my sponsor Sugar Snap Pea’s shop soon so that I can see all of their holiday goodies and do a little shopping.  It’s been hard not being able to leave the house with Fletcher.  Thank goodness SSP’s website is well updated.  How cute are those Tea Collection outfits up there?  And I could just squeeze and squeeze that little Elks and Angels Bear.  Did you know that’s one of SSP’s best sellers??  She, and “she” being the store owner Zhenya, can hardly keep them in stock!
Really though, Sugar Snap Pea’s whole toy collection is where it’s at.  Adore that wooden dollhouse, Lilly would play with that for days.  And how cool is that play parking garage?? 
Oh, and have you seen the new Jonathan Adler / Skip Hop diaper bags and accessories??  Gah, I love those diaper changing kits.
Need more gift ideas – these are also super popular.  (Fletcher has Sophie the Giraffe AND the Aden & Anais swaddles and we LOVE them.)
And don’t forget, the “linger10” promotion for 10% off your purchase is still good.  So shop to it!
