HOLIDAY INSPIRATION

While I am working on a few big posts, here are some of my recent holiday faves:

1. Santa Pop, 2. candy canes, 3. Vintage Ceramic Tree and Deer, 4. DSC_0518, 5. Let The Magic Begin, 6. Our Christmas tree, 7. "...And The Stocking Was Hung By The Chimney With Care, In Hopes That St. Nicholas Soon Would Be There...", 8. pink*red*white, 9. Vintage Pink Glass Christmas Ornaments

What is inspiring you this holiday season?

Side note: We had our first snow yesterday--large fluffy flakes that turned to sludge but left a nice dusting over the landscape--just the right ingredients to make me want to stay in all day and soak up some seasonal energy! xoxo

HALLS ARE BEING DECKED...

Here are some peeks inside my home...

On the mantle, my modest collection of knee huggers!

  

And this sweet little elf!

Vintage light reflectors!

And my literal hall is being decked as well!

Just little bits of joy amidst a rather rough holiday weekend!
Hope you are making the most of what's around!

HAPPINESS IS:

-->This photo as part of a local series, by the amazing Matt Accardo:

I hoped to be part of his series since so many people I know have been photographed and look amazing! This was taken after a sweaty day of art making during Van Duzer Days part I. 

--> Being in the Top 50 Arts Blogs through Facebook!

--> Seeing Animal Collective as part of Celebrate Brooklyn in Prospect Park!

(Here is a supercool article since my pictures didn't come out well!)

--> Watching a Staten Island renaissance bloom!

--> Remembering the bliss of first loves-- and the chaos too, but being totally accepting of that 14 years later!

-->New people, new music, the potential of the future!

--> Sitting on my porch for hours with nothing I have to do other than listen to birds chirp and my iTunes shuffle.

--> Tickets to see The Flaming Lips with Explosions in the Sky in Philly next week!

--> Scoring tickets to go see Sufjan Stevens and also the Dodos at Music Hall of Williamsburg (my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE VENUE) in October!

--> The last two episodes of True Blood, and the show Being Human on BBC America!

--> Peter Jackson's District 9!
