I’m not going to lie to you. I put up the Christmas decorations the day before Thanksgiving so that when we return home from travelling, it’s all done and filled with holiday cheer. When are you planning on decorating? Or have you already?!
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and a great holiday (for those in the States). As you can see, it was a bit foggy this Thanksgiving, but we really enjoyed ourselves. Of course now I am extremely excited because it’s now officially the Christmas season! Expect a lot of gift guides, holiday-themed posts, and too much cheer for one blog. For now- enjoy links!
- I love these moon rocks prints found over on Unruly Things.
- These cloth napkins are bold and beautiful but a bit pricey!
- I really, really need/want (but mostly need) this Boreal Forest Poster over at Banquet.
- I really loved this post about 30 Etsy shops for cooks.
- Where do ideas come from? (via Seth Godin)
- How adorable is Sonya and her lovely scarf? All those in favor of her opening a shop, say ‘I!”
It was a cozy, four-day weekend and we had so much fun celebrating with family. You can click on any of the photos to find more on Flickr. Check back tomorrow for Monday Link Love!
Taking a break from blogging until next week. I’ll be enjoying family, food, and snuggling with my pup. I can’t wait.
I have this childish fascination with terrariums. So much that I can hardly spell the word terrarium. The Brick House just recently posted about DIY terrarium (photo below).
And then I stumbled across a listing on Etsy (pictured below). I love both styles. Decisions, decisions.
Do you own a terrarium? Did you buy a kit or make it yourself? Are they as magical as they seem?
I asked a question on Twitter last week. “What one celebrity would make you feel the most starstruck?” Here’s a visualization of the answers I received.
And my answer? Well, that would have to be Chris Martin. And I don’t even want to hear it from the haters. I’ve been to seven Coldplay concerts and I loved them before all the tools did.
Who would make YOU feel starstruck?
I almost wrote, “And it was clam.” Fried clams sound really good right now. Anyways- I hardly took ANY pictures while I was in Illinois. I could kick myself! I was able to spend time with lots of family and the best of friends so just know that it was wonderful. Check back tomorrow for some amazing work from a very talented designer.
The photo above is of Tip Top Tap, serving only cocktails and a superb view of the skyline. Found here.
Guess where I am this weekend? If I don’t come back…you’ll know where to find me.
“Here, I’m mother’s little daughter. In New York, I see myself as Edith.”- Little Edie
I watched Grey Gardens on Halloween this year (the original 1975 documentary). My mom has always been a fan of this mother/daughter duo for quite some time but I never watched it with her. The three photos and video above are the original Big and Little Edie. The documentary is about an old mother and her middle-aged daughter, the aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, live their eccentric lives in a filthy, decaying mansion in East Hampton.
While watching it, I was so amazed at how outward beauty fades and the mind goes as time progresses. Hopefully soon I can watch the most recent film. The two photos and video below are of Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange portraying them in the 2009 movie Grey Gardens.
Have you seen the new Grey Gardens? What were your thoughts? (PS How beautiful was Little Edie back in the day?!)
