Dream Home Offices Practical?

I was perusing Pinterest as I often do now and started looking at some of the home offices. I was wondering now really do people actually use these? I'm too embarrassed to show my actual desk today, but this is what the manufacturer says it looks like ( I am not sure I have seen it look like this in awhile)


My packing station was the first place winner of  $1000 contest from Better Homes & Gardens a few years back, but it hasn't looked this good recently either, oh how I wish it did!

Here are some home offices from Pinterest, now do people actually work in these, that is the question??









 actaully love this one


What do you think???

Valentine's Day Swap 2012 Deadline To Join January 13th

Anyone interested in doing a Valentine Swap? If you’ve never heard of swapping before, here’s what it’s all about: Everyone who participates is assigned a partner Then every swap participant makes/buys/procures the items to be swapped. Once you receive your swap partners’ addresses, you send them a package, and they’ll send you one in return.
 
For this swap you will send three items,  something vintage, something new, and something handmade. (all Valentine related) For instance something vintage might be a postcard, button hankie, valentine card, anything vintage & related to Valentines Day, something new, & something handmade, same idea. There is no dollar limit, I suggest you be generous, but not over the top. Be creative. You will mail all three of your items in one package. This also saves on mailing costs.
If you would like to participate you would have to send me your full name & mailing information. If you don't fully intend to participate please do not join in There is nothing more disheartening than sending out a beautiful package and getting nothing in return. Sorry I cannot be responsible if your partner does not follow through. If you are interested send me your info to nanaluluslinens@twcny.rr.com with Valentine swap as the subject. I will contact you on Jan. 14th with your recipients information. Deadline to join January 13. Deadline to mail your package out Jan 27th. Please USA addresses only due to rising postal costs.
 
I am organizing this swap over on my facebook page, so you can look for follow ups here or over there, also ideas, photos etc!

DIY Key Giftwrap & All You Need is Love Gift Bag

I went to a small get together today for a group of girlfriends that haven't been together for 2 years. One recently married and moved into a beautiful new home. I took a small engraved skeleton key for all and some dish towels for the new homeowner. I didn't have any wrapping paper & didn't want to use Christmas wrap so I had to get a little creative.  I cut a lunch bag just above the flat bottom part for these. Copied some key graphics from a rubber stamp and taped it on the front. Used cute sheer black polka dot ribbon & ribbon that reads Cherish, Love Joy. I thought they looked so cute!

For the dish towels I folded them in half & put into lunch bag, Printed All You Need is Love in cute fonts, taped to the bag and added the same ribbon as above. Font is Cupid de Locke and Baroque Script. Cheap & cute!


These were the retro kitchen dishtowels!

Please vist us anytime for beautiful linens, handkerchiefs, retro towels & tablecloths, Shabby Chic & Romantic gifts decor & more!
