Yes, that's a golden snitch ornament. And yes, I'm allowing my inner Harry Potter fangirl nerd self to come out in full force with this one. I'm making this and putting it on my Christmas tree. Soon.

Do it yourself: rope bracelet.

Today I went to J. Crew and bought a cute skirt on clearance just so I could do this:

I saw this amazing tutorial for a do it yourself: rope bracelet made from the handles of the J. Crew bag. I modified the big knot at the bottom of the bracelet a little, but my way worked just as well. It was wonderfully simple to make, and the tutorial I found explains it all so well. 

(which is especially great for the artistically challenged, such as myself)
