Cheerful Table Runner

Check out my new cheerful table runner.

My sister-in-law, Katie, made me this for my birthday and I love it!
Not only are handmade gifts always a treat, this table runner has added a colorful, cheerful touch to our home when it's needed most -- during our yucky inversion-grey days. This table runner may just be the thing that gets me through a few more months of the winter blahs....

It features a variety of fabrics that all look great together... there's even a few shades of blue that play perfectly off our old church pew and the vintage metal colander. When spring gets closer, the runner will especially look good with my faux cherry blossoms in a weathered vase.

Since our last blog was about bibs... we will keep the baby vibe going...

homebodies also has adorable burp cloths ($8 for a set/3), baby wipe holders ($8) and car seat covers

(from $30).

Best of all--homebodies offers all 3 in coordinating sets.

Beautiful Bibs

homebodies has a great selection of beautiful bibs... they're simple in design, yet it's the little things--the fabulous fabrics, delicate flowers or button details--that make the bibs so stylish. All of the bibs are handcrafted locally and priced from just $6, they're easy on your bank, too.

We're Back

Ok, ok... Christmas was a while ago... and we apologize for not blogging sooner. We just had to catch our breath.

homebodies is back in the swing of things... and we plan to get our blog up and running at full speed.

Until then, check out our facebook page... where we have posted photos of some of our adorable Valentine-inspired items.

Chistmas Mantle

Last month (Nov. 9 post), I showed you how I transitioned our fireplace mantle from Halloween and into fall....well, since we're more than half way through December, I wanted to show how I transitioned our mantle from fall and into Christmas... I keep the main pieces that I use year round -- the HOME blocks, milk glass containers and the large square tin -- and dress them up with stockings, pinecones, berries, a pair of reindeer and a vintage set of skis and poles. We hung the stockings using small gold cup hooks... when Christmas is over and it's time for the stockings to come down, the hooks come out and their holes are small enough they won't be noticed. Please email us photos of your Holiday Home-- we would love to post them to our blog to share.
