Our Christmas Eve and Christmas day in photos…
It’s been pretty low-key around here.
Calling/Skypeing with family,
watching a few of our favorite Christmas movies,
playing games, cooking, eating, snuggling, you know…
Happy Holidays to All!
The sofa is here! And it is very red.
We’re definitely thinking of a rug… at some point.
Maybe something blue-ish… that will cool the sofa down a bit.
I don’t know.
BUT it is soooo comfortable!
the possini euro galaxy chrome light fixture is off the table.
damn. I really don’t know why they discontinued it either.
I mean it only had a million positive reviews
and a total of zero negative ones. Seriously.
And now I’ve only got this teeny tiny image of it
from my amazon shopping cart with ‘no longer available’ in red beside it.
Sad times. C’est la vie.
Ok, so after a week’s worth of Holiday Gift Guide’s for everyone else,
here are some of the things I’m dreaming of this Christmas
(and yes, I know, some of them are just dreams!).
This sparkly table top I can’t stop thinking about.
