happy friday all! if you are anything like me, you possibly woke up this morning, started thinking about your weekend, and said, “oh boy! there are only three more weekends until christmas! shopping! i need to shop!” i don’t know about y’all, but i rely on my weekends to get all things holiday complete. the weekday evenings are just shot between swim lessons, dinner, kiddos, laundry, and on and on and on and on….

well, hopefully i can come to the rescue (a bit). typically, i wait until after christmas to share my favorite things….gifts that i received that i just love and know i won’t be able to live without. well, this year, i’m shaking things up a bit….and i’ve pulled some of my very favorite holiday 2013 ideas to share with you…my dear re-nest fans! and, there’s a theme: this year, i’ve pulled some of my very favorite etsy artisans…some friends that have lovely, lovely, lovely offerings that i want everyone to know about. and, what could be better than giving a gift or a lovely message to a dear person in your life that is unique, different, and also supports an artisan who has passion? 

without further ado, i give you….(drumroll, please)….the re-nest 2013 holiday favorite things!
