A Bar Cart in Brooklyn: 4 Free, Pretty December Downloads for Desktop & Mobile

Dinara Mirtalipova for Oh So Beautiful Paper

Yaay, it's the holidays! The image above is my favorite this month. I've been browsing airbnb looking for the perfect little cottage for a ski trip early next year, so I'm in the mood for all things cozy. For the rest of December, I have a lot of bar cart related holiday entertaining ideas to share with you! We'll begin with my holiday bar cart design tomorrow. And then a how-to: have a martini bar at your holiday party. And also a cake & champagne open house. So much fun. I'm spending Christmas with my family in Mexico, so I'll have a tropical edition update of our eggnog recipe.

I'm wondering if anyone has been checking in here looking for gift guides? I honestly feel like there are just so many gift guides on all sorts of great blogs that even I am a little over all this focus on retail. I know I should be trying to earn more commission but I'd rather focus on holiday experiences besides just buying stuff. So that's why you won't see 20 different gift guides targeted to different audiences here. If you are in need of some ideas, you can try the holiday hostess gifts under $50 that I featured last month. I also really love Victoria McGinley's "Holiday Shop." Speaking of experiences, do you guys have any festive seasonal plans? I'm looking forward to stopping by Gramercy Tavern for a drink - they always have the best holiday decorations and it just feels so classic New York to me.
