Merry Christmas

  I'm signing off to celebrate the holidays with family and friends for the rest of year, but want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays!  May your homes be filled with much joy, love and laughter!

See you all back here soon!  xoxo

Pacific NW Holidays

Today I'm over on Barbara's lovely blog, Haus Design, sharing what I love about the holidays here in the Pacific Northwest.  Pop on over to say hello!

 

Hustle & Bustle

Just a quick check-in today to see how everyone is fairing with the holiday hustle & bustle.  I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted! Between client installations days before Christmas, shopping, wrapping, decorating and entertaining, I'm ready for a long winter's nap!  This weekend I'll be baking for hours on end, a family tradition, which I must say is harder than my day job!  This month is always such a whirlwind.  How are you holding up?

It Takes A Village

I have been collecting these charming paper houses over the last few years and set up a little village every Christmas.  I found most of them at a local shop, but know you can find them online as well.  Instagram seemed to be the best way for me to capture them this year and I decided to make a little collage for you.  I simply adore them!  Do you have a Christmas village at your house?

Watson Kennedy

One of my favorite shops in Seattle is none other than Watson Kennedy.  It is filled to the brim with the most incredible finds, great gift ideas and of course, don't forget to pick up a little something for yourself!  There are two beautiful locations in Seattle, one by Pike Place Market and another larger store just down the street at First & Spring. Even if you can't make a trip to Seattle anytime soon, you can shop online from the comfort of your own home.  Trust me on this one, Watson Kennedy does not disappoint!

 Here I am with the fabulous owner, Ted Kennedy Watson, at his Pike Place location.  

Now, get ready to drool over all of this incredible merchandise!  These images only show a very small fraction of what the store offers.  Sorry in advance for the poor iphone pics.
