<\/p>\n
There is a woman who sells jewelry at one of our local craft fairs every year.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And each year I purchase a set or two for myself and as Christmas gifts for friends.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And every single time I wear one of the pieces, as I did several times this week, I receive compliment after compliment.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The name of her business?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Small indulgences.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That description sort of sums up this week\u2019s happy\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The enjoyment of my most recent acquisition, the first pink ensemble I\u2019ve bought from her\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Priced at only twenty-two dollars for the set, it\u2019s like a double dose of satisfaction!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I happened to wear it at last Sunday\u2019s gathering of new acquaintances. For that event, I made this Veggie Pizza, one of my favorite finger foods.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Doesn\u2019t it look absolutely decadent?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
That\u2019s a cream cheese and dill sauce, topped with fresh cut vegetables!<\/span><\/div>\n
\ufeff<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The week began with the newest arrival in the Soon-to-be-50 series of cards my mom has been sending.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\ufeff<\/div>\n

Next was a visit to a favorite, local Christmas shop, where I found this decorative set of measuring spoons\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Which, of course, I couldn\u2019t come home without!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I found a few other gifts, including this hilarious stocking stuffer\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And at our office hand-made holiday bizarre, I found this adorable snowman made from a pewter salt shaker.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The week ended with a shopping and manicure trip with a girlfriend.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This outfit grabbed my attention and still won\u2019t let go.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/o:p><\/span> <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How do you think this would look on a TEDx stage?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And now, here I sit, wrapped up in an afghan, with a cup of piping hot mint tea on the table beside me.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Two of the greatest little treats to ward off the chill in the air\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What Moment(s), big or small, fed your happy these past seven days?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Soon\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
