It's just 26 days until Christmas and because of our warmer Utah weather 

I'm a little bit behind with my shopping.

My goal is to be completely finished and wrapped up in one week.

Enzo was my little helper last night.


We would love to be your holiday helper!


I found the plaid ribbon, great for boys, here


Chocolate and peppermint covered almonds available at the shop.

They are the perfect little holiday treat!



Cream and black ribbon below is from here.


The gorgeous red silk bow I spotted all over Victoria's Secret in their holiday decor.

They don't sell them, but a nice employee gave me a couple with my purchase.

Their holiday fashion show airs tonight.  See here.


You can also find us on pinterest here

@ madeleinelamour


 where I recently pinned inspiration for my front porch.

This week I'm switching my plants, which lasted a long time because of our warm weather,

to evergreens . . . stay tuned.


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.
