MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

I'M DREAMING...
OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS....  This year, instead of sugar plum visions dancing in my head I envision white Christmas decorations for our home.  I'm still in a dream state after a visit from Romantic Homes editor, Jacqueline deMontravel and photographer, Bret Gum.  So kind and professional, two good people who you would like for your neighbors!  Without giving away the farm in this post, I'm showing only a few shots I saw with my amateur eye and old Olympus.  The real deal photos taken by Bret will appear in the 2013 Romantic Homes Christmas issue(s)*
 I spent many hours sewing Christmas pillows and wrapping gifts.  The pillows are available on my website.  The gifts, I'm grateful to say, were purchased for my family early this year. 
 I know I'm only one of thousands of women decorating with vintage dress forms wearing feathered wings!  I'm in good company with women loving this look!
 Not much of a fan of red poinsettias even though I usually have a few scattered throughout our home.  My favorites are these PINK poinsettias that are planted on the upstairs porch outside our master bedroom.
My newest collection of old lanterns.  The hunt for these beauties was almost as fun as the acquisition.  I have them on the mantel above our bed.
The sneak peek is over!  I haven't seen the real deal photos taken of our home, so we will all wait until next year's Romantic Homes Christmas issue(s)*  *Our photos may appear in 2 issues.  Jacqueline mentioned perhaps featuring our photos in the decorating issue and the Christmas issue, both published by Romantic Homes at the end of 2013.  Until then, Merry Christmas and happy decorating!

WOWSA! NOW THAT'S BLING!

  IT'S BEEN A LONG WHILE SINCE I PURCHASED SOMETHING THAT KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF. WHEN MY FRIEND, LEAH, SHOWED ME THESE JEWELS...MY SOCKS WERE GONE! THERE'S ACTUALLY 2 NECKLACES/CHOKERS. SEPARATELY THEY'RE AMAZING, BUT TOGETHER THEY'RE MAGNIFICENT! LEAH OWNS BUBBA'S ANTIQUES AND MERCHANTILE IN WESTLAKE, CA. LEAH'S SHOP IS WONDERFUL AND LEAH IS A SUPERB HUMAN BEING! THANKS, AGAIN, LEAH! YOUR JEWELS FOUND THEIR NEW HOME!

My mannequin never looked so good!
 Oh my!
A closer look....Two chokers/necklaces stacked on one another...  Very heavy pieces!  No discoloring, no missing stones, just clear rhinestone glamour!
The top choker is a marked piece, Weiss.
 The bottom necklace is marked with the initials, FJ. Leah and I couldn't figure out the significance of the initials. Anyone know what FJ or JF stand for?
 I know, how many photos can one take?
 Just a few more!
 This is my favorite photo of these gems, yet it doesn't come close to showing their true beauty!
 Ahhhh.....can't take my eyes off them!
 Even my husband is intrigued by the design of this necklace!
Close up of the middle flower. WOWSA!
 Last photo! PERFECTION.
