13 on thursday {bookmarked edition}

I'm using today's "13" as a place to compile some things that have recently caught my eye. Who knows, maybe something here will prove to be the perfect thing for one of your beloved family members or friends.

1. The most adorable cupcake stands ever! {This one has been bookmarked for awhile but they continue to rank pretty high on the adorable factor.}

2. A fun way to ensure you get the perfect size crust every time. This probably isn't necessary for those who have already perfected their crust technique but for those novices out there {like me} this looks pretty handy. {Flip it over and it's a cutting board.}

3. I was pretty smitten when I saw this at Renegade in Chicago and just happened to stumble across it on Etsy yesterday. Isn't it adorable? {I do realize my love of calendars is now bordering on an obsession.}

4. The color of this caught my eye immediately and I regret that such warmth is not needed in Louisiana in the winter. Just for the sake of fun, if I needed a warm hat do you think I could pull it off?

5. I love pretty much everything in this shop but right now this personalized stationery stamp is calling my name. Think of everything you could do with this - the options are endless!

6. This initial stamp is also pretty cute.

7. Real Simple is one of my favorite magazines and for a very limited time {I think it runs through Saturday} you can get a year subscription for only $10! Total deal/steal.

8. Gorgeous holiday candles abound at Anthropologie {no surprise there}. Right now I'm totally loving this one but can't decide between Falling Snow or Toasted Marshmallow. I normally don't spend much on candles but at Christmas I indulge and enjoy the amazing scent throughout the entire holiday season. Guess I'll need to get to an Anthro stat so I can smell them in person and make a decision.

9. I've had a little crush on Tyler Florence since my days in Tahoe when I was just getting started with Food Network. I've not cooked many of his recipes but the few I have earned rave reviews. His new cookbook looks to offer a good mix of recipes, personal stories, and gorgeous photography.

10. While we're on the subject of food. Check out these yummy cookies.

11. And the drool worthy holiday flavors over at Vosges.

12. These {in teal} would be the perfect match to the hat from above. Too bad it very rarely snows in Shreveport.

13. These are gorgeous and make me swoon every time I see them. Unfortunately, I'd probably be afraid to wear them.
