    Tote bags on hooks. What a great idea. I like the idea of a light colour so it almost blends in with the wall and looks so tidy. Thanks for the inspiration! I’m in major need of a way to wrangle our mitts and toques!

    What are you making with the ribbons? They’re so quietly festive.

    Oh! Those pillows remind me of a field trip for a class in undergrad where we had to go to Maine and count species in the tidal pools. Too bad they’re sold out!

    Might I suggest “Santa Mouse” for your winter books? If you celebrate Christmas, it’s a really sweet one.

    The Tomten is my favorite Christmas/holiday book. I grew up (and my parents still live) in an old New England farmhouse with an attached barn and I was always comforted by the idea of a tomten visiting on those quite snowy nights.
