Christmas Trees 2009

Posted on by Hijiri

Christmas tree makes me so happy and this year, I have 2 trees! Double happiness :) Wanted to share some pictures and the happiness here!

Our family white tree — we bought it last year and we placed in different area this year.

((We still need a tree top…))

Each ornament has its story and memory…

I’d been looking for dachshund ornaments forever and I finally found these handmade dachshund toys from Sweet Little Birdie and turned it into an ornament! The size is great and Maia wears red collar so it is perfect!!

We got the cable car ornament in our last Christmas in San Francisco in 2007…

and, my mother in low got me a pink Christmas tree (!) last Christmas so I finally got to decorate it in my office area and I LOVE it! I wanted to make it really girly since it is mine :)

I used some of my flower hair pieces and brooches as a tree top and ornaments and I quite like the outcome.

And those numbered votive candle holders are from my lovely client Christine from LAMA :) I love them so much! Thank you, Christine!

This tree has a lot more spaces so I can buy more ornaments… (hehe)

Late night work is not so hard when you have your Christmas tree besides you…

Tallow Berry Bulb

Posted on by Hijiri

Good morning! I hope you had a nice weekend… We had a little dachshund friend Audrey for the weekend to dog-sit, it’s been fun for us and Maia :)

Over the weekend, I came across these beautiful glass bulbs from Land-Rich (via sub-studio design blog – they have my favorite gift guide every year by colors!) and I especially like this Tallow Berry Bulb — isn’t it a precious little thing? I would love to get one for our Christmas tree… this will be my ornament of the year… (speaking of which, I finally decorated my Christmas trees this weekend, I will share some photos later! Yes, I have 2 trees this year!)

Christmas Shop

Posted on by Hijiri

Good morning! How was your thanksgiving? How was your weekend? Hope you had a good one… I am back from Boston, I had really great and yummy thanksgiving, and am ready for the busy week! I think from here on, I just have to go go go until Christmas… which is coming so very soon!

After thanksgiving, my mother-in-law took me shopping and I had to ask to go back to this great Christmas shop… (she took me there last year, it was my first time, but didn’t have time to really look around…) It’s been around for ages in Randy’s hometown and coming from Japan, I think this is by far the biggest and the most classic Christmas shop I’ve ever been to! Yes, Santa was there, too! :)

Huge store is filled with anything and everything for Christmas. I only could take some pictures of ornaments and such, but there are lots of rooms and each room has different stuff… aww I could spend all day here just looking at everything.
