KCL Friday Finds

Happy weekend, and welcome to Friday Finds! Today it's all about holiday hostess gifts. It about the time when you may have several seasonal parties and functions to attend, and you should never show up empty-handed. The best hostess gift should be something just for the hostess that he or she can use at a later time, either for entertaining or just for themselves. Just because you may have been assigned a side dish or drinks, you should still being along a special hostess gift.

A hostess gift doesn't need to cost a lot. They can range anywhere from $10-$25, and really should be on average $20. There are so many appropriate options in this price range - anything from a set of tea towels to a cookbook, or something gourmet, or even a little bath and body gift. If you need a hostess gift for a party or dinner this holiday season, you can't go wrong with one of the picks below.


This first one is my favorite, because it's a versatile multi-use item, and it's so chic. …

Snapshots from the Week


I've been posting to Instagram relentlessly over the weekend, and when I sat down to unload my DSLR pics onto my laptop, my tired little Toshiba displayed "downloading 255 images." Between a lovely stay at the Renaissance hotel and a trip to the Oklahoma Bridal show, this week's snapshots were a matter of editing down, that's for sure. Pictured: Sony A330 Digital SLR

I hope you had a lovely weekend and are enjoying the holiday. If you're working anyway, as I am, at least you can justify taking it easy today and distracting yourself from your responsibilities, with social media and your favorite websites. If for some reason that includes this blog...thank you!


The Renaissance Tulsa hotel was my favorite hotel stay in town so far. I look forward to sharing it in my new Checking In column.


Before checking in, we spent a few hours at the Oklahoma wedding show, sampling yummy cake and enjoying the bridal runway show. Cake by La Villa di Dulce.


For dinner, my fiance and I went to Abuelos near the hotel, and oh my word, I forgot how much I love this restaurant. The decor is amazing, the service is good, and the food is both delicious and affordable. Definitely going back there.


We finished off the evening in the hotel bar with a glass of Pinot and a glass of Merlot...both very yummy. I'm trying to save the hotel info for my actual hotel post, but I have to say that sitting in the courtyard of the Renaissance, in candlelight and with the waterfall sounds coming from the koi pond (yup, and indoor koi pond in their courtyard), all of the stresses of the week faded away, and we smiled at each other like, "Yeah, we're coming back here in the future."

      Thanks, Mary.:) It was okay. I have to say the cakes that were by far the most yummy were by a place called Merritt's Bakery in Tulsa.

    This getaway looks so sublime! I want to eat about 5 pieces of that cake and i'm not normally a cake person! I've been to a bridal show before and they are absolutely stellar. Hope you enjoyed yourself and got inspired!
