Happy Mother's Day!!


Happy Mother's Day!  I am excited to be spending this special day with my Mom in Paris doing what we both love.. shopping for vintage pieces!  I love this image as my obsession grows with vintage silverware and serving pieces, I have come to appreciate my Mom's vast collection.   I will definitely be adding to my treasure while we travel.

Happy Sunday!

dreaming of baking..



Is it bad to dream about having time to bake?  The Mr. bought me a french deserts baking book for Christmas which I have yet to try, just not enough time!!  I am dreaming of making homemade goodies and eating them up with a hot cup of tea.

a quick hello...


I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  We are trying to get it back together here, catch up with reality and take some time to enjoy ourselves.  This year has been an amazing ride and I realized this morning how very many places we have been and how much we have accomplished.  I am excited for the New Year and looking forward to sharing it with all of you!  Thank you for everything, for every comment and every email I truly appreciate your support and encouragement here on the blog and in my businesses!

Christmas table...


Living in California at Christmastime can be such a gift.  We are often able to spend the day in the sunshine outside with family.  I don't know that I have ever had a white Christmas and who knows if I ever will, that's okay with me for now.  I saw this beautiful table setting and I fell in love with it and how simply beautiful it was.
Wishing you and yours a very wonderful holiday!

Kari Herer and Anthology Magazine..



I love her photography and I was so excited to see that she had collaborated with Anthology Magazine to offer some holiday printables.   Check out their 2012 Holiday issue to learn more about Kari and to see the tags and cards that she made with them.

Simply Christmas and thank you...


I always wonder if I could do a simple clean Christmas?  I love this look, easy going and relaxed not to flashy and just the right amount of sweet.  I fell for this image on Dreamy Whites.. her whole house is this perfect!   You should check it out!

I also wanted to say Thank You to all of the wonderful shops that participated in our Holiday Giving Series this year!!  It was a pleasure having you!

just a little bit..




Oh my goodness we are in the final stretch here it seems.  Christmas is so close!  I finally got the house lightly decorated before my guests arrived on Saturday.  It is a little different from last year and fit my mood perfectly.  The lighting was a little off yesterday due to the rain so I am hoping for sun and I can show you something a little nicer.  These are just a few little bits and pieces.  

On Sunday I went to the flea market in Long Beach and picked up a few little goodies including some pillows to finish off the living room.. Love vintage textiles!
Wishing you a lovely Monday of madness and rushing around before the holiday!

peppermint bark..



I have been waiting all week to make some peppermint bark...  I saw this from Sweet Paul and needed to give it a whirl.  We are having friends over for a cookie decorating party so I somehow have to get the house decorated {then clean up}, make dinner for 8 and actually be dressed before they arrive.. should be interesting.  But in the morning first thing I think I will make a little sweet treat!



There are several variations on the theme but I am going to go simple and keep it straight forward.   Maybe next time we will try out the pretzel sticks...

all of the recipes are in the links..

glitter....


I have to admit I have a weakness for a little Christmas sparkle and glitter.  This is our tree from last year - I am not sure what kind of changes I want to make this year but here are a few of the newest editions that I did pick up.  I love the stags and the little glittery house in the globe.   
Do you stick with the same holiday decorations or do you change it up each year?
We have a made a step forward though - we picked up our trees yesterday - I love the smell of the fresh tree so perfectly Christmas.

Holiday magic



I came  across this gorgeous space and had to share.  Love love the garland and the antlers.  How are you doing on your holiday decor and shopping?  Still no tree here- hoping for tonight if it is not raining too badly, shopping is going a bit better.
