{Day 8}

Day number 8 is Mary Claire! She made these clever little stands from silver spoons. They are intended to hold your recipe cards while you cook. Cute, huh? As a bonus, she also made rings out of vintage buttons. I have to confess I did receive a button ring earlier in the year - and it has gotten some major attention whenever I've worn it.

I'm proud to report that I am completely finished with my Christmas shopping. (Though I may brave the malls tomorrow to find a pair of shoes.) Now, just wrapping and cooking ahead of me. Yay! I can almost relax. Today was NOT the easy work day I had envisioned. In fact, I'm still reading email obsessively. Need to let go...
