The Best Christmas Pajamas!
In 1823, Clement Clarke Moore first published his poem A Visit from St. Nicholas with the legendary verses,
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
And, basically, ever since, we've associated Christmas with snuggly pajamas that are perfect for late evenings by the fire and early mornings, opening presents. In fact, my goal this week is to wear Christmas pajamas as frequently as possible.
This year, I'm rocking these snow globe flannels from Nick and Nora at Target.
I've picked a few more favorites for y'all below!
HerKentucky Shops! Hadley Pottery One Day Tabletop Sale 11/23
Black Friday is not my jam. In fact, Black Friday is the only thing I like less than Justin Bieber or Duke Basketball. You get the idea.
On the other hand, I love to shop, and I really love going into December with a good chunk of my holiday shopping already finished so I can focus on enjoying the Christmas season. Of course, I prefer to shop locally when I can, and I love to find unique, Kentucky-made gifts when possible.
The Hadley Pottery Tabletop Sale lasts today -- Monday, November 23rd -- and provides you a rare 15% off the unique, hand-painted, Louisville-based pottery line. Sale prices are marked on the Hadley website, and the discount applies to plates, bowls, mugs, and cups.
Happy shopping!
The HerKentucky Guide to Jump-Starting Your Holiday Shopping in Louisville
'Tis the season to start your holiday shopping! If you're like me, every year you tell yourself that this is, absolutely, the year that you'll stay in budget and get the holiday shopping done early. Now, I can't guarantee the budget part, but there are plenty of events coming up in Louisville that will help you find unique holiday items now while shopping locally and supporting local causes.
- Anchal Holiday Trunk Show: I simply can't say enough good about the Anchal Project. This Louisville-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization provides former sex workers in India with a new beginning as an artisan. The Anchal Project transforms old saris into stunning textiles that are used for home goods and accessories. Their newest project is a series of gardens in Louisville's up-and-coming Portland neighborhood which will be used to provide sustainable, natural textile dyes. If you aren't already convinced, check out Anchal founder Colleen Clines' recent Creative Mornings talk, which was nothing short of inspirational. The Trunk Show will be held this Thursday, November 12th, at Whitehall Mansion & Gardens, 3110 Lexington Road.
- Temptations Holiday Boutique: Join a select group of Louisville-area business owners for a premiere local shopping event November 17th-19th at the Olmsted, 3701 Frankfort Avenue. Admission is free and open to the public; shoppers are encouraged to bring a 30" square scarf to donate to Hope Scarves, a St. Matthews-based nonprofit which provides scarves and stories of hope to female cancer survivors.
- Middletown Boutiques Holiday Open House: Join The Prickly Pear, Tunie's and Moss Hill Thursday night November 12th for shopping until 8, refreshments, and free gifts with purchases over $25.
- Festival of Trees and Lights: This volunteer-driven decor boutique features beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and assorted greenery. Area businesses and individuals show their support by sponsoring these trees, and creative designers generously bring them to life. Proceeds benefit Kosair Children's Hospital. This year's event will be held November 13th-15th at Slugger Field.
Happy shopping, y'all!
