Black Doors and Lantern Lights

I have a recent obsession for black doors and large lantern lights!

It's something I want to change on my white house.

I would love to swap my door for one with windows and add some fabulous lights.

For ideas I took to pinterest and will add photos here often 

so I have a place go for my front porch goals.

Check back if you share my obsession.

Silver and Gold

One of my favorite La Vie Parisienne necklaces nows comes in silver!

I love it with darker blues and black for the holidays.

The gold is also a staple in my wardrobe.  See here.

For a good look at our La Vie Parisienne collection click here.

We received new holiday wreaths as they sold out during our first open house.

Come see our new selection.

I love the one on the mirror behind me.

It's quintessential holiday and it smells so good!

Thanks for visiting!

Red Bows and Holiday Bedrooms

I like to add holiday touches all throughout my home.

I remember putting holiday sheets on my boys' beds when they were younger 
and they would get so excited!
Now they are teenagers I can't do this, but I thought I would add some to my own bedroom.  
I was looking for a holiday plaid, but then decided to get something a little more versatile 
and that I could leave on until spring.

It's fun to change up your sheets every once in a while 

and I am loving the darker color. Then just added a pillow, throw, twinkle lights,

your favorite holiday candle and voila!

Candle is Illume's Balsam and Fir

A shop favorite!

London tote is from here and on sale!

Someday I want to go Christmas shopping in London.

We have lots of exciting news to share with you about Pink Friday, Small Business Saturday, 

and a special project.  Stay tuned and thanks for visiting!

note

Cartier's holiday display in London on Old Bond Street (2006)

was a magical Christmas cracker

oh how I love this!

From the Oxford English Dictionary

Tradition tells of how Tom Smith of London invented crackers in 1847.

He created the crackers as a development of his bon-bon sweets, 
which he sold in a twist of paper (the origins of the traditional sweet-wrapper).  
As sales of bon-bons slumped, Smith began to come up with new promotional ideas.  
His first tactic was the insert "love messages" into the wrappers of the sweets.

Wish he could see how Christmas crackers are still apart of the Christmas holiday.

Deck the Halls . . .

 . . . or my living room as the case may be.

Featuring

 Holiday collectibles from the shop

a London red bus ornament (limited quantity)

our favorite Illume Balsam and Fir candle in a collectible music box (limited quantity)

Limoges teacups from France (all a bit different, text for photos)

This curio is where I collect things from my favorite places.

There are souvenirs from my trip to Paris with my mom see here

including a teacup from a Angelina.

It is the most beautiful patisserie see here

You can watch a video of them serving their famous chocolate drink.

If you look closely there is a tiny piece of gravel from Jonny's horrible 

bike crash in Park City during the Summit Challenge.

A crazy thing to have I know!  The ER doctor had a heck of a time

getting that last piece removed from under his eye.

It was a scary time and I remember his moans in the night

from his face sticking to his pillow.

It broke my heart!

One week later he was back on his bike!

It is a reminder of courage, drive, passion, and hope to me . . .

and I love that little gravel!  He earned it!

Thanks for visiting!
