Morning (Manly) Morsel: World Series DVDs
I woke up this morning to a lovely snowfall and the rare, and therefor exciting, news that church was canceled. I am enjoying the extra time to visit with my grandparents who are here from California and Michigan… and, as I often do when I visit with friends and family, I am multitasking. [...]
Morning Morsel: A litl Something Sweet
Daniel and I run a four or five Mac household, depending on the day. So when this an email mentioning this beauty came through my inbox last night, you can imagine my initial reaction.
I am, unsurprisingly, attracted the simple lines and smooth styling of the litl webbook. What do you think?

Morning Morsel: A Lace Shopping Basket
I found this morning morsel, and thought of myself. And Sweats. It’s beautiful, durable, and practical. (And it comes in black.)

For Sweats I’m going with a set of Wizard of OZ [...]

Lists are typically due by the end of September, although we get them to California by the first week of October [...]
Happy Birthday to Little Reagan
I just became an aunt… To a little sweetie out in Arizona. She has wonderful parents with a strong sense of realistic style and I am so excited to send some lovely stuff their way.
I found the perfect gift back in March when we found out were going to have a niece or nephew. [...]
When Bookmarks Fail
Bookmarks and wists are no longer enough to keep my shopping endeavors organized. So here I am, at Irick Noé, blogging about my finds. And, to be frank, I do this for my own benefit more than for yours. My memory is unreliable, my shopping list is neverending, and my knack for gift finding is [...]
