Happy December, friends! You know my month begins when the newest
Matchbook issue goes live. Did you have a chance to read it yet? I'm not going to lie, I was a bit pouty that I didn't get to read it first thing yesterday. This is a scenario in which Flyboy would remind me, "
Try having some real problems." It's a true statement, but worthy of eye rolling. Not to worry, I eventually snapped out of my slump. I guess every now and then, there really is a downside to a to-do list. I'm not bitter though; I still love my lists. As a reward for being so stinkin' productive, I devoted a full hour Thursday evening to poring over all 124 pages. It was magical!

Matchbook highlights...

This might not be healthy. I may find myself in a sea of pom poms this week after seeing this tutorial again.
My love for pom poms and garland is getting out of hand. |

You know what I always try to tell myself when I'm complaining about something silly, like my Etsy order not being here or ban.do running out of the color I want? Princess problems! Love your roundup, and I can't wait to see your gift guide!
ReplyDeleteI loved that pom pom tutorial! I dont think theres ever a part of that magazine I dont like. One of my favorite parts was the fair isle sweater history and the feature on the silk scarves from etsy. I looked at her shop and they are absolutely stunning! Love hearing what you love about the latest issue every month!
ReplyDeleteI think I have Princess Problems as well:) I like the ring to that much better!!
ReplyDeleteMary Kate, I love the scarves as well. They're just darling.
