So, this ETSY Tuesday is dedicated to my iPhone loving husband. I thought this was just the coolest docking station I’ve seen to date. Woodtec’s ETSY shop sells a few varieties of the handmade iPhone docking stations and yes, it’s real wood.
“This is a MADE TO ORDER ITEM not the actual item for sale. It will be very similar, the docking stations are cut from the same type of wood, so it has very similar knots.”
“handmade of cedar....looks, feels and smells amazing! compatible with all iphones and all ipod devices(except shuffle). The docking stations use a standard USB plug, so it can be used to charge and sync with a computer. If it is for an iPhone, it came with an adapter to plug into the wall for charging.”
Such a cool and unique gift for that tech loving guy, or gal in your life. They do take 3-4 weeks to make, so get yours NOW!!

I found this fabulous recipe for Classic Turkey Lasagna with Bechamel. I have actually never heard of turkey lasagna before, but it sounds amazingly delicious! I hope this will spice up your leftover (if you still have some) turkey after this Thanksgiving Holiday.

Every Mom out there is probably looking for a good gift to give their child’s teacher this holiday season.
I think Sweet Bella Cards has your answer with their Personalized School Note Cards.
“These sweet flat note cards are a great gift to say thank you to your child’s teacher! They feature a brick red schoolhouse with silhouettes of children running into it. These are printed on heavy linen stock and come with matching euro flap envelopes. Set of 8.”

Today’s post has more to do with “surviving” the Thanksgiving holiday that’s in just 4 days! With all of the family around, it can get a bit stressful and hectic. Why not thank yourself for all of your hard turkey cooking work with a nice martini, and what better to go with Thanksgiving than a Pumpkin Pie Martini!

Here’s how it’s made...

Ingredients:
1/2 oz. Stoli Vanilla (optional to give it kick)

Crushed graham crackers
Cinnamon stick (garnish)

When doing a little internet research on entertaining, I ran across a plethora of checklists available from Martha Stewart.
She has “celebrations checklists” for events from cookie swaps to bridal showers, “cleaning and home care checklists” for everything from moving to packing and “stocking up checklists” for the kitchen pantry to your first-aid kit.
All are easy to download and the best part, they’re free!
Thanks Martha! I hope this helps (as it will help me) in getting your home ready for the holidays and all of the fun events to come.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I am loving this post I found on Apartment Therapy. You can’t get anymore elegant than having a luxurious chandelier hanging in your bathroom.
“Chandeliers can add a touch of class and sparkle to any room. And who wouldn’t like a bit of elegance in the water closet? Actually, chandeliers fit with any style from modern mansions to industrial lofts.”
It can be hard to achieve a sense of elegance in a bathroom depending on where your bathroom is placed in the house, our how big it is. Lighting is where you’ll find the biggest bang for your buck and usually with the least effort.
