All We Want for Christmas Is ….

Hi Friends:

We've been out and about gathering inspired holiday gift ideas to share with you. We can't help but marvel at the originality and resourcefulness behind these items! Buying information is provided in case there is something you must have for that special someone. Enjoy! 

You may have seen vintage door knob wine bottle stoppers, but how about these pool ball stoppers! For more examples, google antique knob bottle stoppers on Etsy. Add a bottle of wine and you have the perfect gift!

Everyone is on the road at some point during the holiday. We love this License Plate Bingo game from Restoration Hardware for both young and old! 

 Isn't this beaded statement necklace beautiful! Find them at holiday markets and major retailers. 

Panettone, a sweet bread loaf studded with fruit originally from Milan, is enjoyed for Christmas and New Years and makes the perfect gift! These beautifully wrapped breads can be ordered from Eataly or found on many gourmet food sites and in fine grocery stores.

DStressedhome.com makes beautiful trays from vintage frames and drawer pulls. Trays aren't just for serving; use them on a dresser, bathroom vanity or coffee table to showcase special items.  

Love, love these vintage salt cellars made into ring boxes from The Paper Button. The designer, Kari McDonald, makes the lids from vintage buttons. We would use one on the side of a sink to hold rings while doing dishes or as a tooth fairy box in addition to presenting/packaging a beautiful ring.

Here's a great gift for the man in your life: a woolen scarf made from menswear swatches by Margo Petitti. Her line of one-of-a-kind accessories for men are made from fine Italian woolens, silks and cashmere.

How fun are these Barbie doll shoe bracelets by Sara Gallo Jewelry! Her motto: play dress up! You know you want to!

We here at Georgia's hope your holiday shopping is merry and bright!

Lisa and Nikki's Friday Finds!

What has inspired and delighted us this week? Here they are - the sights, sounds, tastes and one-of-a-kinds we loved!

First things first! Let's address what to do with Thanksgiving leftovers. Georgia's loves Martha Stewart's recipe for Thanksgiving Leftovers Shepherd's Pie. Get the recipe here!

Vintage anodized aluminum housewares seen at New York City's Pier Antiques Show!

How about this for a clever gift idea - convert trophy tops into bottle stops! Seen at the Randolph Street Holiday Market in Chicago.

On our road trip to New York City last weekend, we saw dozens of utility truck convoys returning to the midwest after providing much needed help restoring power to areas hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy. We couldn't help but feel pride in America!

If your shopping this weekend, Georgia's encourages you to shop local and support small businesses. Have a great weekend!
