As a Type A, detail-oriented, planning personality, I don't like being ill-prepared for the holidays - especially when the season seems to come earlier and earlier each year. Much of last week was spent with the holidays in mind: purchasing special culinary touches and rediscovering cocktail-ready jewels. Here's what you may have missed last week on Bedknobs & Baubles.

{ over-indulging on gourmet spices }

{ new additions to my vintage ornament collection }

{ mixing a cozy sweater with a bejeweled bracelet }

{ cocktail hour with craft bitters }
