Oh! Christmas Tree

I'm back with another nifty, and this time thrifty, Christmas tree via the internets.

I give you: One King's Lane (an online flash sale site that's Ahmazing!) genius book tree.

So simple, so easy, so free!

I really feel like anyone could throw this little gem together. Just grab some books off your shelf and stack away! Don't forget to throw in a little sparkle and voilà!

While One King's Lane is using this to advertise books as gifts for the holidays (Geniusly so I might add!) there's really no reason it couldn't be just as awesome in your home!

Ooh! Especially if your one of those fancy schmancy lucky bastards ducks that has a Librahry... Oh perchance to dream...

If I ever get healthy enough to decorate I plan on giving this one a go!

Kisses,

K

Things Lately

Here's a peek at things lately.

(If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen some of these already.)

My sweet pup on a cold day modeling a sweater from Grandma.

Tiny heart shadows in a porcelain candle holder.

The adorable 3-d anniversay card my husband gave me!

My "Secret Love" Morse Code necklace for Argento Alchemy.

Enjoying driving my still fairly new car. (And still enjoying my sparkly blue diamond engagement ring too!)

Kisses,

Yes, Please: Home Edition

With the start of November the holiday season is fast upon us... I know, I know, you're not ready.

Well, neither am I... Which got me thinking about guests... which led to thinking about entertaining... which led to thinking about having people over for dinner... which reminded me that since I previously had no formal dining table so I have no formal dining set up...

So I started looking for things online and ended up with this moldboard containing things far out of my monetary range but that I love. I already have a Wedgwood china pattern and crystal that I'm slooowly collecting after my wedding a few years ago so I don't really need to pick out those. So I went for the fun stuff.

I love rocks and geology and nothing is prettier to me than rocks and minerals so these malachite patterned chargers by Kim Seybert are so up my ally. I also really loved her vaguely sea inspires sparkly blue table runner and rock topped lucite napkin rings.

Everything else on my moodboard is from RabLabs. They make the most beautiful and amazing things! I'm totally in love with pretty much everything they make! They really utilize the minerals in a beautiful way that allows their true nature to shine through while giving them a beautiful function in the home. Agate chees plate, coasters, and utensils? Don't mind if I do! Crystal bowls and platters edged in sterling silver or gold? Yes, please!

I love everything on this table moodboard and while it's all pretty pricy... I figure it's a good place to start. Who knows, maybe by next year I'll actually be prepared for the holidays like a real adult... ;)

Kisses,

K

Home Again, Home Again...

Jiggity Jig! Today the Husband and I sign the lease on our new home for the next couple of years!

Beyond excited!

It's a lovely Mediterranean/ Tuscan hybrid of a house with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a great kitchen for cooking, and a pool! It's perfect for us right now and the lady managing the property is lovely to boot. Win. Win.

More to come once we move in but I have butterflies in my belly just waiting to get the keys. Hooray for new homes!

Kisses,

K

Under the Weather

Feeling not so great today. I'm fact I'm feeling as icky as the stormy weather here...

At least Florida storms are pretty...

Today's outfit details: In an effort to brighten my day with a little cheer I wore my comfiest shorts that have a happy neon print, spin pins for an easy out of the way updo, and for an extra pick me up pink pearl earrings and my fave perfume. 

Also, maybe it's just the head pain talking  but how cool does this mercury glass votive holder look through my water glass? Gots to keep hydrated whilst sick you know? Or else you start seeing things... Ooh, it looks like shiny silver scales.. 

Kisses,

Rainy Day Ready

Yesterday was super rainy here in in Seattle (we'd been having such a nice weather spell too despite the chill!). So I can only come to the conclusion that Mr. Raincloud's vacation is over :( and he's back and ready to "spill" the details of his trip...

In the meantime though here's a cute wellie storage I spotted over on Damsel in Dior:

(I know my Hunter's would look so much happier stored this way!)

Objets De L'intrigue

Ibride is a French "atelier de création" that breathes life to fanciful objects that function both as art and household item. With their animals holding court, in some cases literally, over your everyday life you'll put the "fun" back in functional!

My favorite piece is their White Ming Vase that is actually a stack of, oh so very pretty, painted bowls!

I also love their very cleverly cute shelving designs:

Feeling light? Try the Nibus and Cirrus shelves!
