A Gift To Give ~ A Favorite!

...What is my favorite gift to give – Something that I love – a Favorite!

I personally love tea - I found this amazing loose tea that I am now addicted to, my new Favorite. I was enjoying my tea in my Favorite tea cup, reading my Favorite book with my Favorite bookmark!

 I began to think how great it would be to share my Favorites with someone so...I  purchased and then arranged all of the items in a pretty box, wrapped the box and tied it with a bow! I attached a little note that stated simply - "some of my Favorite things for one of my FAVs! xoxo, Kathe ~ and then I hand delivered it to one of my best girlfriends.

 More often, it is the smallest gesture in life that tends to make the biggest impact!  

Welcome 2012

May this year bring peace, joy, love and prosperity to us all.

Our New Year's Resolution is to become a better blogger! :)

(or at least a more consistent blogger ...ha ha!)

We plan on dusting off our Thoughts on Thursday blog and add more

ideas and tidbits daily so keep a look out - you will be happy you did!

May Every Occasion be extremely special and memorable this year!

Thoughts on Thursday....

....so this Thursday has found me in a shabby chic kind of mood. I did a little bit of spring cleaning today and found a wonderful use for an old favorite...the coffee mug holder! I know...WHAT?!?!? but it's a wonderful idea and it brought to mind that wonderful song by Jack Johnson (love me some Jack Johnson!) The three R's...Reduce, Reuse & Recycle - so here goes my pitch to do just that! I happen to have a black wrought iron Longaberger coffee mug holder that I have not put to use for a very long time....my thought to find a new use for it -- a Shabby Chic Jewelry Tree....it's fabulous to display your necklaces, hoop earrings, watches, and rings! I put my watches in colorful organza bags and hung them from the string...very, very cute! If you have a wooden coffee mug holder...just paint it a pretty pastel color and when it is dry rub it with a piece of sand paper along the edges and down the sides...adorable I swear! Now all of your jewelry is fashionably displayed and easily accessible for Every Occasion! *Bonus idea...when you have cleaned out your jewelry box and arranged your jewelry on your new "tree" put your smaller earrings, extra backs or seasonal accessories in your jewelry box for safe keeping...organizing at it's best!! Happy Hanging! :-)

Thoughts on Thursday....

......So today I have some thoughts regarding tableware. When our schedules allow, I like to make dinner at night for my family. It is the time of the day when we all come together and "catch up". I also like to entertain for many or just a few.... I am somewhat obsessive when it comes to planning, even for a family dinner. I like to show my family and guests how much I think of them! One real find I would like to share is dishwashing detergent! Yes....it is important trust me! I Love Cascade Complete - Citrus Breeze. It works amazingly well, leaving your stemware spotless, your dishes shining and it lends a wonderful smell to your kitchen which is clearly an added bonus - right!! I find it helpful to set the table as soon as possible and arrange your serving dishes with the serving utensils. A little pre-planning can go a long way to making Every Occasion a stress free get together - even a weekday dinner with the family! Bon Appetit!

Thoughts on Thursday....

Every Day is an Occasion! Each morning when I awake even if the clouds are hovering or the rain is falling - I am my own sunshine! Perhaps you feel the same way and want to share this wonderful feeling with someone in your life. A simple note letting them know that you are thinking of them or a small gift to express your appreciation for them is a tiny gesture with a huge reward for you both! Where would we be without each other?!?!? I hope everyone is having a BRIGHT day! :-)
