Just a quick note to let all my Christmas CD swap buddies know I sent out partners this morning! If you signed up didn’t receive an email, let me know ASAP! If you need a refresher on the details, check out the original post right here.
In other news, aren’t these fabric holiday decorations lovely? I kind of really want the felt mistletoe, and at only $15, it’s totally doable.
You can purchase the wreath here and the mistletoe here, both at Open House. Happy December!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! There were only four us, which is very different from what I’m used to (closer to 15-25 relatives!), but we had fun nonetheless. Here’s the table I put together:
Did you all have a good Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is this Thursday!! So many things to be excited about: seeing family, a short work week, delicious food, a chance to make a pretty table setting, and an opportunity to stop and give thanks. This board encapsulates most of that for me, with a color palette inspired by lovely Eddie Ross centerpieces!

As a preface, I must admit I am embarrassingly excited about this announcement, so bear with me!
There are a lot of swaps in the blogosphere at Christmas time, and, having participated in quite a few, I can vouch for the fact that they’re quite fun! I’ve participated in both Southern Weddings‘ ornament swap and Brooklyn Bride’s card swap in the past.
What I haven’t seen is a Christmas CD swap! And, as an intense lover of Christmas music (though never before Thanksgiving, for sure), I felt compelled to organize my own. Want to participate? Please say yes!
If you’d like to join in, send an email to peachandpearl at ymail dot com with “Christmas CD Swap” in the subject line by Friday, November 26 (the day after Thanksgiving). Include your name, address, email address, and website/blog address, if you have one. Feel free to spread the Christmas music joy to friends and family — I want as many people to participate as possible!
By Wednesday, December 1, I will have emailed you the names and addresses of up to 4 people to swap custom mixes with. Traditional, indie, peppy, or pop selections — the choice is up to you! I’m sure I don’t have to say this to all you sweet and lovely readers, but let’s keep the lyrics clean!
All CDs should be mailed out by Wednesday, December 8, giving everyone plenty of time to enjoy their holiday tunes before the new year.
A final note: please don’t sign up if you don’t intend to follow through! That would make me and your swap partners very sad.
Any questions? Leave them below or shoot me an email! Eeeeeee I’m so excited!!!
