I have a closet in my front hall with a big box.

I was tempted to let that sentence stand alone as the full description just to add some mystery to the post but figured I'd be the only one entertained. So here's the rest:

In that box is a hodgepodge of random stuff I grab when it's on clearance. It's where I run when I suddenly realize I have to be at a party in an hour and not only "don't have a thing to wear" but worse, "didn't get a thing for the hostess."

So I grab a bottle of wine (that's one thing I ALWAYS have in the house ; )~ ) and a tschotske like this, nabbed on clearance just like the one above, and Voila! The mundane become clever and- more importantly- turns "thoughtless" into "thoughtful." My bottle suddenly becomes distinguished by its random flare- a nifty dial-a-drink bar compass dangling from a ribbon I scalped from the Christmas present shrapnel left under the tree by the kids. Kissy kissy to me for my cleverness....
