Beary Christmas + A New Table!

It's one week until Christmas and the season is just flying by but I had to share a few little additions to our living room.  One of my favorite stores, World Market, had just opened a new store so I ran over to NJ to make a visit and do some Christmas shopping.  I got lots of great goodies to help me cross off my list but treated myself to a few presents too.

Knowing the succulents I had grown over the summer and fall needed to come inside, I found the perfect home for them with these fabulous concrete terrariums.  Using river rocks and adorable carved wooden bear ornaments completed the look with just the right amount of whimsy for me. Aggie enjoys visiting the bears in their "cages" everyday and they aren't so overtly holiday that they will need to be put away after the Christmas season is over.


The other item I just had to throw into my cart was this french bistro table that I had been eyeing for more than a year now.  Its the perfect petite size to use as a side table, small entry way table or dessert table (I plan on moving it around as needed).  It's base is just like the much more expensive variety I find over and over at flea markets and antique stores and the top is substantial slab of wood to soften the metal base a bit.  Love it!

Am I the only guilty party buying myself gifts when I really should be focusing on crossing off my list?
