gift guide: sparkles and lace

My second gift guide is far from the first. This one is inspired by my younger sister who couldn't be more different than my older. That's why I love them both so dearly. My younger sister loves romantic clothing with ruffles and sparkle, baking the most delicious sweets, adding glitter to crafts, and giving of her time to help others wherever she can. Here are my picks inspired by her.
This sweetest Martha Stewart doily wreath plus the diy instructions to make it for her myself,
A shimmery polish in a rosy hue,
some bling for her shoes,
and finally, some proper ruffles to keep her warm.
