extending the holidays

it seems like time goes so fast lately. i feel like years roll into the next before i have a chance to enjoy the last. i decided to put up christmas decorations this year the day after thanksgiving. i've never been on it like this but i have to say i'm glad i did it. spending time in our living room is a true joy.


i've been a fraser fir advocate my entire life but after my mom kicked down this vintage white tree, i couldn't pass it up. a live garland is still going to be key to get that heavenly pine sent in the casa. between the white tree and the mirrored table...we're starting to look like a 70's coke den. i like. now i need to replace the jute rug with some furry number and we'll be ret to go!

when you don't have a real fireplace...well you make one. why long beach is notorious for these fake babies, i don't know, but i'm making the most out of mine.


two peas in a pod...that's us, and our first ornament as a mr. and mrs.


disco anyone?



the mirror is making plans with the tree

Great pics Frau, and made me want to watch miracle on 34th street (or Christmas Vacation!)! You have a gift...

Btw, one of our clients is EnviroScent - they have something called "ScentSicles"you can hang on tree or keep in the casa for that holiday smell. They're online or at Bed Bath & Beyond,the Walmart etc. and a lot of people with faux trees, white or otherwise!, use them.
