Christmas Vignettes
I just wanted to quickly share some photos of the Christmas decorating happening in our little Italian apartment.
My favorite thing about this apartment is the ceilings. The thing that’s taken the most getting used to? Italian marble floors. They are COLD. And hard.
When I purchased these OOOOOLLLLLD cubbies from the antique market downtown, I had no idea what to do with them. Turns out they are perfect for the Christmas treasures I’ve gathered over the years! 🙂
A few detail shots:
Well, that’s it for today. It’s beginning to look (and feel) a lot like Christmas around here and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.
Haven’t done a single page in my December Daily, didn’t get around to wrapping the 25 Christmas books this year, and I don’t have a mantel to hang my stockings on (they are on our coat tree).
But you know what?
I am okay with it. More than okay. Because none of that really matters. I’ll get to it when/if I get to it.
My heart is full.

p.s. I’ll be back tomorrow with the giveaway winner from last week!
Share My Space Sunday : Entryway
Good morning y’all! We are off to a Red Sox game, but I wanted to share a new series with all of you.
I realized that I need to get better at documenting the homes I live in, since I move so often. I remember the homes I’ve lived in…but over time the details escape my mind.
Each week I’ll be sharing parts of this home that I love.
Today I’m sharing the entryway.
I smile every time I walk into this house. It’s bright and happy and the natural light is amazing.That’s something I’ll really miss when we move.
Right inside the door is this table and what is probably my favorite “happy spot” in the house.
Last week (which is in the photo above, the little table had fresh daffodils in a milkglass vase.
Here’s what it looks like this week:
Table: Pier 1//Print:Please Be Still (Jen Renninger)//Harney and Sons tea tin//Annie Liebovitz at Work//Domino:The Book of Decorating
This little table is my favorite place to put fresh flowers. Every time I walk in the door they are the first thing I see and so totally worth the price.
My favorite local spot is Chaves’ Gardens. The flowers are fresh and absolutely gorgeous. I love building my own bouquets. And when I check out the ladies always say “Oh! Who is this for???” and I say “me!”.
Hope you all have a beautiful and blessed Sunday.
See you tomorrow!
