More than a Cookbook - A Great Wedding Gift

What do fires and weddings have in common? Nothing, of course, but if you want to give a gift with a super good cause, the "Los Angeles Firefighters Family Cookbook" is a wonderful wedding gift. With all the brush fires going on this summer, fire fighters are working harder than ever and risking their lives at the same. 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of a cookbook also goes to benefit the widows, orphans and Disabled Firemen's Fund.

Flat Flowers by Suseela Gorter

As with getting married, the subject of home decorating always comes into play. But not everyone has the moola to spend on new plates, accents for the home, etc. So, these inventive stickers by Dutch designer Suseela Gorter are simply pretty enough to put on a window. Whoever said that you have to use real flowers to bring color into the home! These are my favorites that I found through the online shop of Dutch By Design:

Dahlias - of course!



Roses



Chrysanthiums



Yes, these are all flat! Be sure to check out her website of Flat Flowers.
