Christmas Ornaments at Anthropologie

I’m really digging Anthropologie’s ornaments! Above: These delightful squirrels, snails, birds and mushrooms are adorned with their own mini decorations. I’m also pleasantly surprised by their fish ornaments. They’re not your typical tree fare, but both the Amigurumi-esque wool and textured glass are almost too cute to pass up!

Pinecone Hedgehogs

Via Kiddley: I’ve been following this blog for a little while and I really love all their fun ideas for keeping the little ones entertained. Above: Myra of My Little Mochi teaches you how to make adorable pinecone hedgehogs using polymer clay and beads.
