Welcome to my home for the holidays!
Our home for the holidays seems to look better every year. I took lots of photos today and yesterday because the weather was so bright. OK, I went a little photo crazy....
Here is a wreath my mom bought for me last year. It's so beautiful at night outside when the lights reflect of the glass balls.
Urns are everywhere these days, and to buy a premade arrangement can cost tons of cash. I made this one for less than $15.
I mentioned about this store called Granny Taught Us How, I bought 2 of these reindeer plates there. They fit right in with the holiday scheme!
The dangling silver christmas ball is the other new item from Granny Taught Us How.
I was thinking of starting a new christmas tradition of including chocolate coins in the decor mix.
This shelf is huge, I can't get a proper photo of everything on it in one pic. So here's 1/4 of it.
Most people decorate with nativity scenes, but we have our own self obsessed knitted doll shrine.
Last year my mom got me place card holders in the style of Christmas balls.
A couple years ago Target had Tord Boontje design their holiday merchandise and I was friggin' obsessed with trying to get everything of his. Lucky for me, his designs didn't fare well with the WNYers because I got all of his plates on sale half off. I love them so much we use them year round. They are so well made, not a single one has chipped or cracked and the design hasn't faded a bit.
Hot Tot seemed to get really jealous that photos were being taken without her in them. So she went ahead and posed for this final one.
You know that feeling you get when you really love where you live? I get that all the time, but most especially during the holiday season. This is the time of year I just love staying at home nice and warm cuddling with Hot Tot and enjoy all the lights. I'm really excited because we are getting our gas fireplace serviced this week, I'll have to get a photo once it's up an running. Actually, this will be the first year the rec room will be decorated for the holiday - the motif - Christmas in Mexico! Oh, the stories I have about my 30th Birthday Party and the blast it is planning... check back for all that good stuff...
