Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I ate a piece of pie on Wednesday that changed my life.
Let’s dive in a little deeper, shall we?
It tastes like JOY and MERRIMENT.
And if you could taste the laughter of children, it would taste like this.
You might think I’m over-selling this, but I promise I’m not.
If you are local, go eat this pie at Emporium Pies on the square (there is also a location in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas). It’s called “Father Christmas” and it’s a peppermint cream pie with a chocolate cookie crust. I KNOW.
If you’re not local, I’m sorry.
If you go there, tell them Pinterest Told Me To sent you.
You won’t get anything, and they won’t have any idea who you are talking about…
but maybe if enough people mention me the good people at Emporium Pies would reward me.
With pie.
Here’s hoping.
2)
Ask her and she’ll tell you the pie was magical too. 🙂
I know you’ve seen me carrying it, but I don’t know I’ve adequately expressed my love for this bag.
The only thing better than this bag, would be this bag filled with pie.
(You can find my scarf HERE and my earrings c/o Kendra Scott but also found at Nordstrom HERE. My shirt and pants are sold out.)
(Please ignore more crazy, and just look at my sweet dog.)
While we are here, here’s an up close pic of one of my favorite little areas in my house right now.
The 2 tier wire stand sits right there all the time, but I put miniature poinsettias in it on the bottom level, kept apples on the top level (my little guy eats at least 1 apple per day….and he ONLY EATS HONEYCRISP) 🙂 and tied a big bow on top of the stand to dress it up for Christmas. And I love how you can see my chalkboard in the background on the right and my vintage kitchen scale in the background on the left. Yep, this area is definitely one of my favorites.
Here I am carrying it over the last couple of months.
But THIS one is my favorite for sure.
Click HERE for the St. Anne in Florentine Leather.
(Click HERE for the entire Florentine Leather collection – some great gifts for guys too!)
(click HERE for the blanket scarf on the left)
I’m a lucky girl.
And I found SEVERAL things that I knew you ladies would want to know about.
CHECK OUT THIS DARLING COAT!
LOOK AT THE PLAID LINING!
AND I KNOW I DON’T HAVE TO POINT OUT THE TOGGLES,
BUT IT HAS TOGGLES LADIES.
My favorite is the camel color HERE.
And I have no idea why, but the charcoal coat is 50% OFF right now, making it ONLY $38.98!
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. The small was definitely too tight across my chest.
(“beautiful” tee HERE, leopard belt HERE, Hunter boots HERE)
When looking for the link above, I found several Junior’s coats (that are already amazing prices) ON SALE for an additional 25-50% OFF!
See pics below and click on what you are interested in!
And I finally found a fur vest that I not only didn’t hate, I actually liked!
But here’s the sad part.
I can’t find it online!
So girls, help a blogger out!
Somebody either e-mail me the source or leave it in a blog comment!
I will add the link as soon as I get a tip! 🙂
I was wearing a medium in this vest, and it was found in the Junior’s department at Nordstrom.
If I remember correctly, it was under $70.
Come on peeps! Don’t let me down! 🙂
Click HERE for this side slit sweatshirt tunic.
It is cozy and a little big more edgy than a regular sweatshirt.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small!
I found THIS tote also, and I reallllllllly liked it in the store.
And then I got home and read the great reviews!
It’s $54, so it’s a great price point, and you can either zip it up or down to change the shape.
Click HERE for the tote!
And I didn’t see THIS one in person, but I wish I had. I’ts $48!
Also, I noticed that my BP booties have also been re-stocked in the chocolate color!
Find them HERE.
5)
So, after trying on THIS side slit sweatshirt above, I put it on my Christmas list.
I actually sent it in an e-mail to my mother-in-law.
And if I know her (and I think I do), that little baby is already on the way to her house.
#fingerscrossed
Here’s one of the ways I plan on wearing it.
I think it’s going to be long enough to wear with leggings with one of my Target Long and Lean tanks
And yes, that’s my new Kate Spade watch I bought yesterday morning (and then told Chris he bought it for me when he woke up). He’s so thoughtful and generous. 🙂
ugg lattice cardy boots HERE
Kate Spade studs HERE (ON SALE!) / Kate Spade watch HERE (ON SALE!)
MUST HAVE leggings HERE (ON SALE!)
I do.
I want to be cozy.
6)
This was supposed to be where I had a cute little gift guide I’d put together from Target.
But you know what they say about the best laid plans.
I’m thinking it will happen by Monday though, so stay tuned! 🙂
7)
Did you see my Pottery Barn Teen post yesterday?

Just kidding, there’s not a 10.
But it felt weird not having a 10, which is why there’s a 10.
Oh Wait!
I just thought of a #10!
I’m planning on doing Bachelor recaps starting in January for Farmer Chris’s season.
But maybe I should put it to a vote?
So leave your vote in the comments, if you care. 🙂
YES or NO to Bachelor recaps?!?
Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂
Peyton says
Yes to Bachelor recaps! Can't wait! Merry Merry to you and your darling family 🙂
Michele @ The Joyful Home says
I'm gonna vote "no" on Bachelor recaps, only because I quit watching after I completely lost faith in the show. But, your recaps are hilarious and I know lots of people still watch. On the other hand, I love your kitchen and that beautiful leather bag. I might have to buy that one for myself and then tell my husband how thoughtful he is…
Anonymous says
We definitely need Bachelor recaps! Farmer Chris is going to be super fun (hide and seek, anyone?) and romantic. I can't wait to see his season!

Seriously YES to bachelor recaps! My husband thinks I'm crazy when I watch the bachelor so it's great to share your blog with him and say look! Someone else has the same thoughts I do! Then, on the day I miss it I can read your blog and it's like I missed nothing! You must recap!
Mix and Match Mama says
That pie. THAT PIE. The entire time I was eating that pie yesterday, I was thanking you. Seriously so, so, so good!! Your entire post could have been on that pie. And thank you so much for linking to my breakfast casserole recipe! Happy Friday!
Katie says
Yes to recaps!
Mary Jensen says

YOU ARE KILLING ME!!!! I can't spend ANY more money on myself this season. I am WAY over budget, and you keep finding all of these cute things! There is no way I can just NOT read your blog because I love it, but you are really tempting me. OMG. I'm dying here over all of the cute things you found to show us today. I have to remind myself to breathe and step away from the computer.
In all honesty, I love your blog. You seriously have saved me so much freakin' time in regards to my shopping. You find great things, I don't have to spend a million hours online searching for things I like, and everybody's happy. So THANK YOU! And happy holidays!!

It's a peppermint cream pie (according to Emporium's website). I spent the past half hour trying to find it and only came up with this one from Better Home and Garden (all the others were peppermint ice cream): http://www.bhg.com/recipe/pies/peppermint-and-white-chocolate-cream-pie/

I vote YES for Bachelor recaps. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who serves as Personal Shopper for my husband. Otherwise, he will be at the Walmart jewelry counter on Christmas Eve because that's the only place that's open at 8 pm when he realizes he hasn't yet bought me anything…
Denise Holthaus says
You have to ask??? LOL. YES!!! You must do the re-cap for the Bachelor because you are so funny!! So pretty please!! Fortunately, I live in McKinney so it sounds like I need to stop for pie!! Ha!! Sounds humiliations!! Is that a word??? Have a great weekend and thank you for your funny, informative and amazing blog!! Xo
Denise Holthaus says
Ok, the word was YUMMILICIOUS!!! Not, humiliations! WTH?? Auto-correct makes me crazy…
kristen says
I just got the reversible tote in tan and Oxblood red – a very, very dark beautiful red! It is so gorgeous and looks like it cost 10xs as much as it did!!!

I saw that fur vest on someone last year and my only thought was "She looks like she's wearing chicken fur, but wait a minute, chicken's don't have fur!". Ha! The black and white reminds me of the chicken my grandparents had.

This looks similar to the vest you are wearing: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/foxiedox-double-time-vest/3865301?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=206&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_2_D But it is solid black.

I have wanted a fur vest and couldn't find one for the longest time! All of the ones that I actually liked were too much. Then Target came out with this beauty! It's $40 but it's 30% off at $27.99. I promptly ordered it.
http://www.target.com/p/faux-fur-vest-xhilaration/-/A-16382324#prodSlot=medium_1_14&term=fur+vest
I know you were asking where to find the Nordstrom one, but I thought I'd let you know about this one. Maybe it can go in your Target gift guide. 🙂
