On the 12th day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me, 12 drummers drumming.

I could find a million uses for this hand-stamped ribbon.

On the 11th day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me 11 pipers piping.

Seeing as though I have a major hole in my heart that is filled with only gnomes and owls I changed this one up a bit. Here is your piper:)

On the 10th day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me 10 lords a leaping. Of course the geek in me wants to go Lord Of The Rings on this one, but for your sake I wont.

Love the whole set of prints by London Particulars, but this one is fitting since the flight is over the House of Lords.



Okay, I couldn't stop myself! Here it is...

On the 9th day of Christmas

my true love gave to me...9 ladies dancing. Settle down boys we aren't going there.

Love this print, and all her prints, by Cafe Baudelaire.

on the 8th day of Christmas

my true love gave to me 8 maids a milking....




Milkmaid earrings.

On the 7th day of Christmas

My true love gave to me 7 swans a swimming. Ah, the swan, a real pretty bird. That's a nice gift. May I suggest though instead of seven live swans something a little more practical?

Love love love this crocheted necklace by Big Frozen Melon. It is swan inspired and just beautiful. I highly recommend taking a look at the entire shop as it is all fabulous!

On the 6th day of Christmas

My true love gave to me, 6 geese a laying. Doesn't sound like much of a true love to me on this one. But let me suggest a replacement in case your true love is reading this.

PS, I predict that geese will be the next "in" or trendy bird. You heard it here first!

I really love this geese wall decal by Wall Star Graphic.

On the 5th day of Christmas

My true love gave to me...5 golden rings.

This set of 5 stackable rings by Wendy Culpepper is only $70 so what is not to love?

On the 4th day of Christmas

My true love gave to me four calling birds...

This print by Barking Bird Art takes calling birds quite literal, and I love it!


Next is a rooster "wake-up call" necklace by Dolls and Molls, It may be a stretch on the traditional song, is something I may just end up buying for myself for Christmas.

One the 3rd day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me three French hens...

Now I know you think "country" when you think of hens, but I was determined to find non-country items for this day. Enjoy!

I love the retro kitsch of this print by Three Sisters Ink. It would go great in my newish blue and red kitchen!


This headband from Pizpireta nearly gave me goosebumps looking at it. It is so well done!


And lastly I loved this "cackling hens" type print from Fat Crow Press.

On the 2nd day of Christmas...

My true love gave to me. Two turtle doves? Why not? So for the second day of Christmas I found these finds for you. Enjoy!

This pillow is just great, and I did a triple take when I saw the price (quite low which makes me love it even more). Check out Greensleeves shop for other finds!



Next is this fabulous cuff from Lievre which I ADORE!

Start of the 12 days of Christmas

You know how it goes...On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree!!!! So here are my favorite partridge themed finds of the day!

Love these labels by Bohtieque!


This necklace from ChinaCherie is just gorgeous, and would look fab all year long! But let's be honest, all of her jewelry is fabulous! Love it all.


Lastly, this bowl from Refresh. I love it because it is funny, cute, and a great way to re-use old albums!


So, that's it, my 1st day of Christmas! Enjoy!
