oh happy Wednesday, darling, DARLINGS!
last weekend Mr D and i took Holiday Hwy 2
last weekend Mr D and i took Holiday Hwy 2
over the Cascade Mountains to a little
Christmas town called Leavenworth with our very dear friends Steve and Alice.
the annual trip is all about ringing in the Christmas Season with great friends,
good food, some of the season's traditional libations, and shopping!
(yes, those are martini cocktail hats with birdcage veils)
our shopping list...
1. chocolate dusted almonds, salt caramels, and dark truffles
from Schocolat
2. Landjager and Carmelized Onion Cheddar
from The Cheesemonger's Shop
3. a good mulled wine mix for my Dad
4. an elk antler?
yes! an elk antler...inspired by the photo above.
i had been wanting an
antler, i was hemmmmming... and hawwwwing... until i read
Sharon's post about her stylish French girlfriend Marie~Laure.
Marie ~ Laure's home has to be one of the most perfect eclectic
design mixes that i have ever seen. she gives you the
courage to color outside of the lines.
Sharon...this is not the first time that i have shouted about your beautiful blog,
~ My French Country Home ~
i FOUND my precious antler
on the way to Leavenworth at Annie's on First, in Snohomish! one
of Annie's fabulous Santa helper's put a pretty bow and a flower on it for me,
so I would look very chic carrying it around the town!
this weekend, i will be hanging it on the stone fireplace!
5. a Swedish Electric Candlestick?
yes! remember my post about that beautiful white
Christmas kitchen at Hvitur Lakkris?
i had a hunch that i could find one similar at Alpen Haus Gifts, and i did!
since i am SO behind on my decorating...
just placing it in the window made our kitchen feel very Holiday!
~she has a permanent place on our shopping list~
a little polka dot
Christmas something...something for Holland Grace!
~ the cutest little leg warmers~
~ * ~
i have a crazy three days ahead of me...
yes...another list of to do's before i deck the halls here on
34th street. there is a lot going on at work right now, including the
final touches for the company
Christmas party
~ and ~
i have an ugly Christmas sweater to make tonight and send to Jay in Boise,

it's merry ~ it's cozy ~ it's Christmastime!
