Party!!

... yep, that's the plan.
A string a fun holiday parties lined up and really wishing I could arrive wearing this...

gold + gems + one big bright blossom = a fun start to a sparkling night

What better on a snowy winter morning than a hot cup of tea and toast... al fresco, more like al frostco! But I think I could stand a little morning chill to step into the delightful and charming world of Emersonmade...

She and her cute hubby are just the most adorable people - they make me want to run away and live in the country in a magical world of mice, ducks and winter tea parties. Perhaps in time I could even come to love the chickens...

Cheers to you, and Fridays, and magical winter mornings!

{P.S. - this post contains a clue as to something on the upcoming Holiday wish lists... just watch and see what lovely things we've found...}

It seems inevitable that especially in Spring and Fall, around the entrance a row of boots will begin to appear. Often neatly tucked in a row, descending in size like a chain of elephants and sometimes growing to create little cityscapes with boot skyscrapers in the area around the door. This accidental decorating fixture can be so revealing, adding a suble personal
touch to your space.

You can often immediately tell the inhabitants of a home - see the evidence of Jenna Lyon's son Beckett with the tiny sneakers and flame rubber boots.

A very sophisticated line-up for Sophia Coppola.

Perhaps the perfect excuse to get beautiful shoes, they double as art in decor?

Right now there is a pair of wellies, some ballet flats and a few of Mr M's ski-like boots at our front door. Which shoes are fixtures in your entrance?
