Weekly Recap

First up, a very exciting announcement: I'll be guest blogging next week over at Design*Sponge! My topic? Organisation. So whether you need to spruce up before the in-laws arrive or get a head start on New Year's resolutions, I hope you'll pop over and check it out.


Second, many of my fave blogs including D*S do a weekly roundup of their posts, which is tops in case I miss a day. With that in mind, here's Well Worn's first recap:

*Can't wait till Monday for some tidy inspiration? Then check out this easy DIY earring organiser by guest blogger Amanda.
*There's something for colour lovers of all types—from "green" minded folks to Holly Golightly wannabes—in this week's mix of real-life and photo shoot Christmas trees.
*Continuing the holiday spirit, we also blogged three simple DIY decorations.
*To wrap things up were a few posts rounding up our faves from the new online issue of Lonny magazine. Striped loo, anyone?
*If haven't finished your present buying yet, look no further than the same web mag's stunning gift guide.

And just to leave you with some warm fuzzies for the weekend...
