AAHHHHHH.

Imagine my sweet surprise walking into the grocery store yesterday and finding two of my most favorite things.

Pink Peonies

and Satsuma mandarin oranges

these are so much better than the "cuties" mandarins.

I bought five stems of the peonies and paired them with pretty white tulips and I bought 16 of the satsuma oranges and they will probably be gone by tomorrow. I walked out of the grocery store, sighed, and thought "if these were my only two Christmas presents, I would feel completely satisfied."

Oh and remember that sweet little plate that Hubs picked up for me at an antique store while in Petaluma working one day. I made it into a little cupcake plate and just love it. I'm not sure I can sell it now. It has such a sweet story attached to it. Isn't it darling. So much cuter even in person. Sometimes pictures don't do them justice.

I have almost completed my Christmas shopping, I was hoping to be done by now....but I'm still looking for the perfect gifts for a couple of people. And, Dave and I while sitting on the couch last night, vowed to have all the wrapping done before Christmas eve so we can enjoy the evening together after the kids go to sleep. We will see how we do the next few days!
