The "Give a Hoot" line

So here I am enjoying my own personal office space with my cup of warm peppermint hot chocolate skimming the latest Etsy shops and what do I come across? This wonderful "Whom?" hat knitted by Alice at Throughthelooking.  I started reading the description and immediately new this was perfect for my spouse who always corrects my grammar!!

"Meet the newest member of the Give A Hoot family, WHOM! He's curious, inquisitive, and likes to correct the other woodland creatures' grammar."

After enjoying my laugh, I scrolled through more of the "give a hoot" line and found these darling wool fingerless mittens with gorgeous owls on them! Owls are so popular today and great to wear.  They're wise and adorable, you can't go wrong! What a great combination for those cold days... not that sunny southern California gets that cold but hey they're still a great pair!

Feeling refreshed...

Spring cleaning brings just being clean.  Brittany at Mountain Creek Gift creates invigorating products with all natural ingredients for that truly refreshed feeling. I love this quote from her; it's so honest...

"You never have to worry when using my products, because I will never use anything that is not completely natural...We can never duplicate these perfect ingredients in a lab, and we shouldn't change them in any way with chemicals." 

 The organic lavender citrus cream pictured above is wonderful for dry chapped skin.  A little bit of this at night and you'll be smooth in the morning!  Or get this wonderful soap set that comes with a vintage tin. I think I might this snatch this one up myself to go with my newly remodeled bath room. :)

Oh what a little IKEA can do...

With remodeling comes spring cleaning!! I am so happy that we are remodeling our living space. It feels so wonderful to clear out items that have just accumulated over time. We have filled up two dumpster worth of carpeting, knick knacks, old papers, cardboard boxes... the list goes on and on. Who doesn't love spring cleaning??? I never really understood the "spring" part of the term since I usually do a small cleaning three of four times a year but to get into every little thing I have in this place and decide if it's worth keeping... wow.

With that in mind, there is a sale going on over at my Etsy store 40% off select items. There are great items just moving on to other things. Thanks!

Do you have any fabulous ideas for organization and cleaning? If so, please share! I am so interested in all the ways I can better this space, especially my office area.

(The photos are a before and after ... so far ... still need better organization)
