White Tree

While I was in Boston for thanksgiving holiday, I really wanted to get a faux Christmas tree this year (to be eco-friendly… but I wonder if cutting Christmas trees are bad for the earth? I see so many of them every year and no one says anything…? Anyway, after getting real trees for the last 2 years, I’ve decided to save money and earth.) and so I did! I’ve had a white Christmas tree in my mind for quite sometimes and yay, I got one! My mother-in-law came with me to pick this one up, we went to three places to get this tree (thank you so much, Janis!) I set it up as soon as we got home and it is in our living room — needs presents under the tree now.

Randy and I pick up new ornaments every year and this year, we have letter H, R and M for Maia, Mallow and Milo. Each ornament has memory and they remind me of last few years and I love the tradition so much. I’m still looking for some more to add to this tree, though…

My mother-in-law gave us some old antique ornaments from the family and they are really great addition to our tree this year. Thank you!!

We need 3 little stockings for my little ones, too. I tried last year for my chinchillas, but I had no luck finding cute ones, but this year, I will find them for sure.

Happy December, everyone!!

*Note: I didn’t have my letterpress class because of thanksgiving holiday so no letterpress post today. Next Monday for sure.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Finally, finally, it is up on my living room wall… looks so great! I’ve been meaning to do this for almost 10 months… that sounds so embarrassing, but that happens to me a lot… I always would get to it, though!

Anyway. Here it is!

I picked this seafoam aqua color, but Victoria has a lot more colors at her store right here. I love it!!!

Tarzian West

Every time I stop by Tarzian West in Park Slope, I find something I need or something I have to have…

Cute pitcher by Jonathan Adler – I love the color and the pattern!

Window Film

Rare Device Brooklyn is having a store closing sale as I mentioned before and so I went there twice already and got lots of cool stuff for much cheaper price. This Window Film is one of them and it looks really cute in our kitchen, I’m glad I gave it a try!

The last day is this Sunday the 18th… I will miss it. I’ll visit San Francisco one someday!
