So I was spending time with a good friend the other day and she reminded me of her search for candle holders - not the pillar kind, but the allusive skinny type usually seen decorating many dining tables. She said she had looked at a few of her staple home furniture stores, but found nothing inspiring - so I wondered if I might have a little more luck. I actually came across a great site, Bellacor, that had some great options - I’m particularly drawn to the set of five Royal Silver Plated Candlesticks. I thought they would look great in just about any setting, but would also easily look good with other styles of candleholders, making them more versatile. But I loved all the ones I found, and hopefully my friend will too. - Rhiannon

Like, OMG! I came across this ridiculously cute site, Noodle and Friends, with fashions specifically designed for dachshunds - and I looove it.  The selection of clothing and accessories is perfectly adorable, fashion forward and reasonably priced - and all aimed towards making a comfortable, trend-setting dachshund. Really digging the raincoats, like this Sky Blue raincoat with contrasting white trim. Made to fit a dachshunds long body, and keep his low-lying chest protected from the wet ground, this raincoat will have your dachshund enjoying rainy day walks. And how ’bout them functional pockets, for carrying treats or maybe mommy’s house keys!
