design guide HOLIDAY 2009

The INDEPENDENT DESIGN GUIDE // holiday 2009 launched a day before Thanksgiving last week, but what better day to announce the design guide than on cyber monday.

This guide - like all the others is fantastic, fabulous and fun and just takes all the stress out of holiday shopping. Really it does! Over the next week - I will be posting my little heart out about the guide.... special offers, free delivery and other things that drive us crazy when holiday shopping.

In the meantime, check out the guide and go shopping! And don't forget to mention that you read about it here!
