. { Christmas - according to my iPhone }

All in all, I think this Christmas was a wonderful one! We had snow, family time, and lots of laughter about this politician (hehe, real mature, I know). 

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

It's the Tuesday of finals... and I'm going crazy.

(But not crazy enough to not share these:)

Love the idea of using old wine bottles on a dinner table!

Recently, I did some family photos for a friend and her brother.

They'll use these for a family Christmas present.

We took several of them together, and then a

few with their adorable puppy Macy! What a goof.

Last night I went in to Williams and Sonoma to pick up some

Christmas presents and saw this wreath. I want a place to hang

one like it! Or maybe the money to shop there routinely...

I'm excited to go home for Christmas! I'm definitely looking

forward to hanging out with the sister. This photo reminds me

of something we would do!

Only 9 days until Christmas!

11.

It's Sunday, and I'm kicking off the final week of my

2nd to last semester at SJC with an art history paper.

(And, of course, with some distractions).

I think these pan tone mugs would make a hilarious gift... maybe

because I'm a graphic design geek, but I'm sure there are tons of

people out there that would be in love with these funny mugs

from Uncommon Goods too!

Anthropologie has fun vintage-y Christmas ornaments.

Many of them remind me of our awesome tree at home.

(Which I love for it's eclectic-eccentric look).

I really like this "Partridge in a Pear Tree" Stationary

... it would be great(er) embossed though!

I've been reading LonnyMag, a new magazine online.

It's really great, and over 100 pages long of photos, design,

fashion, architecture... AKA awesomeness.

Stella McCartney is so talented... think she'd donate some items to me?
Especially the Plum coat?

More of Sessun's great clothes... love how comfy and classy they look.
Plus, great bags.

Today's weather in Portland, ME. Finally some snow!
Found on WMTW's skycam.

Light and airy rooms for kids and adults at Serena and Lilly.
The pretty fabrics, and comfy looking bedrooms are my favorites!

Great Christmas cards from Cotton. They have such great stationary!
The entire site is awesome... really crazy graphic design work.

My favorite Christmas album of the year... and possibly life?

Great (but different) Christmas decorations on Nestled In.

Check out how bad the flooding in Venice is today here.

HK Living - Dronten, The Netherlands has pretty and simple Norwegian furnishings.
Some of it's gorgeous with a pseudo-antique look.
Some of it looks like it needs a little paint... (too rustic for me!).
