i hope you have a wonderfully happy and restful holidays. have fun. eat tons. and be very merry. see you in a few days! xo
thanks to a lovely reader for sending me this! what a gorgeous DIY wreath and holiday card holder. i'm definitely making this next year.
i'm hoping to put the finishing touches on our home in 2012. we still need a few rugs. a side table. and something for that completely bare dining room wall. (poor thing.) west elm might just having everything i'm looking for. take a look at their fabulous spring 2012 collection.
i love that line. repeat the sounding joy. and i love this mantle. the felt garland. the joy to the world print. angela's crafty and she knows it. click here to head over to angela's blog and download this gorgeous print for free. tis the season for giving. and felt garland.
there's nothing better than a pretty calendar. and for 2012 the indigo bunting shop has you covered. these gorgeously illustrated monthly prints look fantastic as a framed gallery.
... is mon carnet's free holiday desktop wallpaper. it's absolutely beautiful and i love that it's available in french and english. whatcha waiting for? click here to download it now.
we really like simple christmas decorations. our tree is quite simplistic. white lights. red balls. and a big 'ol gold star. we like that it feels classic and warm and oh so christmas-y. and i'm sure if we had a fireplace. (oh please! one day!) this is exactly what it would look like. isn't it lovely?
every single time i'm about a minute away from a vacation i get sick. and by sick i mean The Worst Illness That The World Has Seen In Years. i feel like i've spent the past week laying on the couch. in and out of consciousness. and somewhat delirious. and now i'm on day four of The Coughing Fit. the one perk? christian plugs in the tree for me in the morning. and the lights glisten on my sweatpants as i blow my nose for the millionth time. and hack my left lung up.
ahhhh. what a lovely picture.
today i'm saving my strength. because tomorrow i will be out battling the crowds. getting the turkey and all the food i need to make the christmas feast. and what i menu i have planned for this year. i can't wait to get in the kitchen and starting cooking for all my favourite people. but i swear to god. if one aimless man in the grocery store hits the back of my legs with their grocery cart. or if one woman elbows me to get The Last One of anything. i will cough on each and every one of them. and then smile and say happy holidays.

ok. i'm back. papers are written and handed in. assignments are typed and converted to PDFs. textbooks are neatly stacked on the corner bookshelf that is conveniently being blocked by the tree. i'm almost there. only a couple small things to do and my first semester is over. OVER. so while i pull myself together. this place will be in the back of my mind. this perfect cabin where i'd love to spend christmas. with all our family and friends crammed under one roof. eating turkey sandwiches and playing guesstures.
i hope you all have a fabulous weekend lovelies! i'll leave you with this incredible kitchen. that i really can't get enough of it. the marble. the pendent light. the reclaimed wood. gold hardware. it's all too much.
