Around The House This week

I made a sparkly terrarium.

Worked on a watercolor to spruce up a particular corner of my home...

Made some Holiday themed art with markers.

Did more water colors.

Entered a contest using this photo and the tag: Some days call for multiple diamonds... (All rings are vintage and passed down except for my Tiffany's wedding band and antique blue diamond engagement ring.)

Felt sparkly. (More to come later...)

Spent some money. (More cryptic more to come...)

Totally nerded out when THE Aerin Lauder, as in the fabulous granddaughter of Esteé Lauder, responded to me on Instagram! Screen shot? I think yes! (Side note: trying to track down this chic looking tequila.)

Happened upon some bluegrass/ folk magic in a parking lot randomly. Seven guitars, a bass, a banjo, and a fiddle make for a mighty fine old school jam session. (To see two short videos check my Instagram feed here.)

Won a Frends headphones Instagram contest!!! So very excited!!! (Screen shot once more! Eeep!)

Bought the pup a new bed designed for safety in the car. The husband put it together and she loves it! In the living room at least... Driving testing commencing soon...

Bought alcohol for the holidays. Looking forward to trying a Left Bank Martini!

Purchased bunches of candies to create a warm holiday glow!

Kisses,

K

What I Wore; Outfit Details

Today I wore autumnal greens and fall friendly vintage owl pendant that I love on a sterling chain I made.

It's big and ostentatious but is so much fun and once belonged to a beloved Great Aunt.

Every time I wear it I smile which is great because today has not been so fab...

Do you have a special accessory that perks your day up?

Kisses,

K

A sailor blue striped* t-shirt and a vintage sterling heart locket with an amethyst from my sweet Husband. It was the first Christmas gift he ever gave me back when we first started dating. :)

Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy Year of the Yin Water Snake!

(My vintage necklace with crystals and antique sterling ring with emeralds and rubies.)

Living in Seattle we have a large Asian population so the Chinese Lunar New Year is a big deal here. It's the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays and translates to the Spring Festival.

The Chinese calendar is lunisolar one, thus it's being referenced as the Lunar New Year. Read on, if your interested in more information.

Greetings!

Greetings from Mr. Peterson* the Owl! (He's also my accessory companion for the day and he's vintage.)

He originally belonged to my Great Aunt and nowadays he hangs out with me. Mr. Peterson always brings me a smile so I hoped he'd bring you one too!

Kisses,

K

*Why Mr. Peterson? Dunno... Just sounded right.
