Purim Basket: Biscotti

Wishing you all the most happiest Purim!!

Here's my take on this year's shalach manos:

The labels read,"Cinnamon Chocolate Biscotti - here's to the last of winter's cozy tea-times...".

Thought it'd be fun to shake things up a bit (everyone will be getting plenty of pre-packaged hamantashen, wine, and candies) - so I decided to give out some goodies that I know I would love to receive! Made some yummy biscotti (recipe forthcoming!), added a few bags of Organic Chai Tea, and wrapped it up with some craft raffia (i had leftover from Freida's birthday bubbles) - creating a simple, last minute, totally, deliciously-cozy purim-basket re-vamp! : )

(had to throw in some pre-wrapped chocolate in order for it to actually constitute as a purim mitzvah...)

P.S Mason Jars totally rock!!

PARTY HARDY!!!

Rock-a-buy!

I'm thinking it's quite ESP of me to have posted that 20th Century Seating last week.... When my husband came home one night recently with a big box he called an "awesome surprise", I was rather skeptical. Funny how they seem to shock us with their perfect timing, just as we begin to think that there's no way they know what we want - here you have it - he unveils this wickedly awesome Eames Arm Shell Rocker (!), something I had coveted since I was a wee little girl... Mr. Levy, you simply rock (especially when über awesome gifts are involved)!!! : )

P.S. Craigslist - BNIB!! Doesn't get any better...!

Threw some Anthropologie pillows (that I had since 10th grade) on it for now, but I'm looking for something a bit more special, a little less color... Hmmm, let the search begin!

"Crown of the Elders"

We had a wonderful extended weekend here with my parents visiting from Chicago - sorry about the sparse postings! So beautiful watching them spend time with little Freida, and watching her discover the sheer joy (and paparazzi-like photography) that envelopes a home when Bubby & Zaidy come to town!!

This adorable photo was going around in an Email. Love it! : )

How you like them now?

I was so smitten by the Google Love ad that I hadn't thought much about this one, but as a tribute to my adorable husband (who can't stop laughing from this), here's the super-cute Superbowl 2010 commercial from Kia. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBh3r2mVFR8
