Favorite things: holiday edition

Every once in a while we like to share a top 10 list with you of customer favorites and top-selling items. In November, not surprisingly, a lot of those items were holiday themed. So if you're still decorating and getting ready for holiday guests, this may be the list for you! Here are the top 10 items our customers loved the most in November.

  Iron Plain Stocking Hanger - this was our most popular seller last month by a landslide! It's a great way to hang your stockings by the mantle with care, without putting a giant hole there!

  Simple Iron Taper Holder - simple, but charming.

  Checker Berry place mat - Checker Berry does offers a charming look for the holidays, but our customers love this design all year long! (The Checker Berry napkins are popular too!)

  Believe Snowman Tree Topper

  Burnt Ivory 6" Timer Taper

  Christmas Star Placemat (Matching table runner, napkins and mantle scarf also available!)

  Iron Star Stocking Hanger

  Wintergreen Napkin - More Wintergreen table linens and chindi designs!

  Iron Snowflake Stocking Hanger

  Dazzel Snowman Tree Topper

Baby, it's cold outside!

Here are some of our favorite ways to warm up!

A roaring fire - But since we don't all have a wood-burning fire place, the rest of us can watch this eight-hour YouTube video of a roaring fire, complete with tranquil crackling sounds. I feel warmer already.

Candy cane cocoa - perfect for sipping by that roaring fire.

Area rugs - Experts agree that an area rug can add insulation to a hard wood or tile floor. Floors account for as much as 10% of heat loss if they're not insulated, according to the National Energy Foundation (NEF). We have a huge selection of braided, woven, jute and hooked rugs to add warmth --and character-- to your home this winter.

Bake cookies - Extra calories provide the energy you need to stay warm when it's cold, and while they're baking, you can hover near the warmth of your oven.

Bundle up - Instead of turning up the heat, turn up the charm with a knit throw blanket! (And we have pillows and quilted bedding to match!)
