I LOVE our Hyacinth Ramekins! They are the perfect size for snacks and desserts but you can use them for condiments, dips and more!!! You can bake in them, use them in the microwave, and also put them in your dishwasher!
They are the PERFECT size for snacks as you try to get into Bathing Suit shape! I know... I know... I hate it too but these little Ramekins make your smaller size portions FEEL Decadent! They come in 4 happy colors... and they'll make things just a little better looking and if I dare say, better tasting! It becomes a TREAT to eat out of them!
They are sturdy enough for every day.. .so no worries.. they are not THAT decandent but they'll feel like it!
Enjoy these Ramekins and consider our matching mixing bowls or meauring cups! YOU are going to LOVE them!

RED!!

A pop of RED says it all!    No matter what your color pallette... You'll find that a pop of red gives your space a little pizzaz! 

It could be ONE piece or you could create a statement with THREE!   Decorating in ODD numbers is really key!    Three RED vases gathered together make a Fabulous centerpiece.... three glass candlesticks with RED candles surely make more of an impact than one and THREE RED vases spaced across your mantle or even a sofa table really give it some impact... This style of decorating creates a cleaner look rather than addng 3 different things to your tablescape or mantle try getting 3 of a kind pieces that will really create a HUGE impact!

Can you think of a space where you have seen 3 of the same item that creates an impact?
   

Special Treats!

Want to do something inexpensive and meaningful for Valentine's Day!?   You don't have to spend a lot to make your family feel special!

Cut out hearts with red or pink construction paper and hang them from curly ribbon from a chandelier.... a year round spiral tree, or just hang them from a card holder or memo board.     Display them so that your family sees them and they look appealing. 

On Each paper heart, write down some things like:

• Cook your favorite dinner
• Make your favorite dessert
• Good for 1 back scratch
• 1 Free Bed Making
• You pick the movie to watch
• Home made pancake breakfast

Your family can choose a paper heart with their favorite thing on it as a special treat for the week or the day.... It's your treat so you get to make the rules but it is a fun way to show your family how much you love them with your time and thoughtfulness! 

WHAT do you DO to make your Family feel your LOVE at Valentine's Day?

I LOVE ....

It's the month of Valentine's Day and we are just a week away from it!    Make your family feel special by incorporating just a few of these ideas!

1. First of all, add a few touches of Valentine's around the house by adding some PINK or RED.   Use a Glass Hurricane and fill it with Grocery Store Items that are red or pink and white like
1. M&M's
2. Conversation Hearts
3. Red Hots

4. Hershey's Kisses
5. or use colored glass beads to create your "look"

(Create a centerpiece on your kitchen table by adding a pretty glass platter or distinctive tray  UNDER your glass hurricane to create a more substantial base to your hurricane.  It really makes a statement piece)

How do you create extra special Valentine's touches around the house for your family?

Spring it Up!

Oh how hard it is to think of Spring as "just around the corner" but it really is!   The days are getting a bit longer....

If you want to "get the look" that's IN this spring.. check out clear tinted glassware that makes a room feel light.. and airy and almost like the shore!   These can be stand-alone pieces or you can add some texture to your smooth glass pieces by adding pussy willow, cherry blossoms, curley willow or some bamboo sticks.... you pick your style!  

You can get these beautiful glasses at many stores but I do have to brag that while doing my research, I found that you can get these at Pottery Barn for anywhere from $99-$279 while at Willow House you can pick them up for just $49-$79 and you can also get them for FREE, 50% off or even 70% off if you invite friends over to take a peek!      I happen to love giving free stuff away, so call me to pencil in YOUR get together this Spring!   February- just announced...DOUBLE HOST CREDITS!!!  I just gave away $2K in free product last month.. do you want to get some of that?  Just call me!
