Gourmet Marshmallows
Have you noticed the trend of gourmet marshmallows popping up everywhere? I even heard an NPR piece the other day. I must say I'm a total fan. I first ran across them a few months back while shooting at Sucre in New Orleans. These handmade confections make the bag puffs pale in comparison and come in scores of flavors. Mia Mallows dabbles in such deliciousness as pomegranate, bavarian creme and lavender.
Favorite Shop — Which Goose
I love the design sensibility of Emily Zych at Which Goose. Her Etsy shop is packed with her handmade lovelies. In case you didn't know, I adore fingerless gloves. My favorite pair has gone missing and these caught my fancy.
Syllabub, an alternative to Eggnog

Oh, frothy, the 'thoman, wuzza jolly happy sssoul ...
