Sorrento Dinnerware Colors
All those pretty colors of Sorrento stoneware from Signature Housewares can pose a problem: Which colors should you choose? One way to see which colors look best together is to visit our Sorrento Dinnerware Color Mixer Page. On this page you’ll find a movable photo of a dinner plate in each color, so you can pull different plates together to see how the various colors look when placed next to each other.

Like the first snow of the season, the smell the WoodWick Holiday Glow Candles always makes me think of Christmas. That comforting smell of cinnamon and clove reminds me of younger days, cooking with mom in the kitchen while it snowed prettily outside. Ahh…okay, back to reality!
All your favorites from past holiday seasons have returned, including the 19 oz. and 10 oz. Holiday Glow candles shown here. There’s also a 3-pack of 3.4 oz. candles, in red, green and silver glass. Then there’s everyone’s favorite, the Frasier Fir! This is the one that really makes everyone excited, because you can’t always find a good frasier fir scent, and when you do it’s only around for a little while (kind of like this one!) We usually run out of the Frasier Fir before Christmas, so be sure to get yours soon.
And if you are looking for a WoodWick Fusion Candle in a holiday scent, the Orange Gingersnap Fusion Candle is new this season, in a jar that looks like warm brown woodgrain!
The return of the holiday season brings thoughts of family get-togethers, exchanging presents, and…food. Lots of food. Who are we kidding, really? The main reason I go to my sister Wanda’s place for Thanksgiving is not because I enjoy perusing her husband’s license plate collection. It’s because of her drop-dead delicious sweet corn souffle. And that dessert thing she does with the pumpkin stuff…it’s truly unreal.
So what does that have to do with anything, you ask? My point is that food is something that always makes people happy. And especially so with food that is as special as Stonewall Kitchen’s. (more…)

The rough, rustic look of the weathered wood collage frames from Brush Creek Trading Company are the perfect accessory for your favorite vacation photos. The neutral color of the frames ensure that your pictures will stand out, while the texture of the wood brings interest to plain, painted walls.
There are a variety of combinations available from Brush Creek, including the vertical frame with horizontal photos shown at left. While the frame itself is 12 x 18 in., the openings fit 5 x 7 in. photos. This frame is also available with a wood-burned pine trees image, and in a horizontal orientation with vertical photos.
Our latest batch of silliness comes to The Woods from a company named Grimm. Don’t let the name fool you, though. Wine lovers everywhere will get a kick out of these fun t-shirts, coasters and magnets. My favorite saying so far is from one of the coasters, “I wine a lot. It makes me feel better.” Look for more fabulous wine-themed gifts coming up next month!
