Christmas idea #2 -- tabletop delights

I like simple decor.  I usually fill my shelves with books and pictures, but sometimes there are objects that really catch my eye.  These items from cb2.com (Crate and Barrel's sister store) are no exception.

        

This is a really fun take on Russian Nesting dolls.  I love the colors and the super modern design.  Wouldn't your "design-minded" friend just love these!?!  $49.95.

The birch storage boxes are as functional as they are beautiful.  They seem to be made for storing treasures.  The zen simplicity of these boxes really speak to me.  In an office or a bedroom...they'd be perfect!  $29.95
