Ha! I love it! Registering at Home Depot and Lowe's seems to be a new trend--when you're renovating a new home a table saw might be a lot more useful than crystal champagne flutes!

What a great idea for a regular feature! I agree with Curley Creations--every little bit helps! No effort is too small! Sometimes it's easy to feel guilty that we're not doing enough, but as you said--though it may not be 100% perfect, the attempt is worthy! Glad to see so many independent designers getting on board. Sarah's work is beautiful--love love love those peacock napkins! To pretty to wipe up with!

Stoppppp it! This is the CUTEST! I'm going to get a head start now for the Christmas season and all the gift-giving we'll be doing! Oh, and good advice on the not swinging it like a lasso bit--I was going to try that, but since you mentioned it, I'll restrain myself!
