The Great Christmas Wrap

Sorry for the late post, we're just too wrapped up (get it) in our giveaway that we lost track of time! Holiday wrapping paper is almost (almost) as important as the gift itself. Shiny tinsel, oversize bows, velvety ribbons, brown paper packages tied up with string... yea, those are our favorite things. Sure you could just wrap your gift up in any old wrapper and call it a day, but we here at PDR dream big. And as different packages require different homes, here are some options for you and all your gift wrapping needs.

1. Bombina Studios | 2. The Container Store | 3. Noble Earth | 4. Papyrus | 5. Martha Stewart  | 6. Good Kisser | 7. Paper Source | 8. Viva La Press | 9. Fresh Lemon Blossoms

And don't forget, tomorrow we start our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway!!! Simply leave us a comment or add us on Facebook to automatically be entered into our giveaway. You have until the 25th to win, so let's get cracking dolls!

XOXO,

Jen & Saira

Holiday Table Decor

Hi dolls, no color day today as we're busy prepping our list for the 12 Days of Christmas which will start next week.  Instead, here's a post for your holiday party planning. Tis the season to feed your family, friends and loved ones. For some, creating a festive environment starts at the table. From glassware to serving platters to napkins and place mats, a festive table setting can really dress a room up. We're big fans of mixing and matching, so combine shapes with patterns and old with new for a fun, eclectic, and memorable look.

1. Crate and Barrel | 2. EMStinson | 3. SarahSniderDesign | 4. Kohl's | 5. Lenox 6. Sur La Table | 7. soobeart | 8. Target | 9. riricreations

Remember to ENTER TO WIN a prize during the 12 Days of Christmas.  Simply comment on a post, like us on FB, or comment on our face book wall to be entered.  You may comment as many times as you like to increase your odds of winning, but you will only be able to win once.  Tell your friends to like us too!  We've got some really great prizes this year and we are just itching to share them with you.

Happy eating!

XOXO,

Holiday Greetings 2011

Some like holiday cards for the sparkle, the cute characters, or the religious sayings.  We, however, are all about the texture.  Give us a letter pressed or screen printed card, the kinds where we can literally feel the love, and you're sure to be on our "nice" list all year long. We plan to pick up up our cards at craft fairs this year, but if you don't have any around your area you can easily order an assortment of gorgeous cards online. You're going to want to act soon though, because if you don't order them this week you may not get what you need in time to send them out!  Here are some of our favorite little works of art:

1. Ruby Press | 2. Honizukle | 3. Curious Doodles | 4. & 8. Ginger Tree   | 5. Flutter Letterpress | 

6. Dingbat Press | 7. Snowdon | 9. One Lantern | 10. Flora & Fauna | 11. Fine Day | 12. Green Porchlights |

Remember:  Comment on here or on Facebook or, if you haven't done it yet, simply "Like" us on Facebook to be entered to win a prize during PDR's 12 Days of Christmas!

Are You A Gypsy Warrior?

We are so excited for our friend Michele Bezoa (co-founder of the Gypsy Warrior brand along with her pal Nicla DiCosmo) for the grand opening of their flagship store! We've featured Gypsy Warrior products on our site before (and included it as part of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway last year), but today we wanted to share some of our favorite finds that are available online. We love Gypsy Warrior for its ability to blend the old with the new, the edgy with the classy, and the boho with the rock and roll... in other words, the gypsy with the warrior! If you're in New Jersey, be sure to check out the boutique located on 43 Hudson Street in Ridgewood, NJ 07450, or shop online. Just be sure to act fast -- there are some hot items!

1. Brass Multi Chain Stud Necklace | 2. Luna Dress | 3. Drape Across Mocha Dress | 4. Ivory Crochet Poncho Shawl | 5. Suede Fringe Bag | 6. Tassel Dress | 7. Braided Feather Headband | 8. Sheer Angel Sleeve Dress

Happy Shopping!

XOXO,
