PHOTOS: Just luv! Penelope!

Okay, I really got lost in the internet last night.... searching looking and finding really cool images.  Usually, on Thursday I do quotes and use images that go with the quote. Well, today I am just going to place a few images of Penelope Tree! LOVE HER!  enjoy!!

found the images here, wish they would have had the photographer credit with the image! but they don't.

 Actually the site was pretty strange, they actually place square black dots over her nipples in some of the images (hello, like I don't know what a nipple looks like, and no it doesn't offend me... but the black squares do!! ugh censorship sucks)

just look how bad it is..... ha! totally takes your eye to her breasts!!  I am surprised they didn't have black outs else were.....

Anyway,

 Most of the images were taken in the 60's. Just love her look! as John Lennon once said about her in 3 words, "hot hot hot, smart smart smart" 

so who do you crush on at the moment?

DESIGN: Holiday tables

Wow, today flew by!  
Sorry for the late post, I was out Christmas shopping.  I bought tons of beautiful yarn.  I am making lap blankets for my dad, brother and sister for Christmas.  I will post after the holidays (when I get my new camera, hehe my mum let it slip that my dad bought me a camera for Christmas!!) I have to complete them this week in order to ship them on Saturday before I fly out... wish me luck!


Everyone else will get store bought pressies!


I am so excited to go to the west coast for the holidays! I was looking through Idealhome this morning over my coffee and these beautiful tables are just perfect!!


Who wouldn't want a table surrounded by ghost chairs!! and the small petite ones for the children's table! The tree is so very pretty! *sigh*

**

and this table! so fresh and crisp with the snowflakes! Love the stars on the shelf and the simple branch tree!! What a way to showcase your ornaments!!

I completely adore this pretty green glass and pine cone table setting! This natural setting is just stunning with the simple tree in the background.

**

I love the framed "Merry Christmas" above the fireplace!! (and I do love the wall paper in this room) The white and red scheme is so festive. I also love the paper snowflakes hanging in the corner!

here is another red and white palette!

What holiday magazines or blogs are you pulling your inspiration from this year?

DECORATING: 'tis the season!!

Holiday Decorations:

This holiday, I am excited about decoration my new home.  While getting in the spirit of the season, I have been researching for some inspiration.  Here are a few of the idea's that I have book marked:  all images: livingetc

Love this idea of using a branch painted white and hung with ribbons.

So perfect when one does not have a fireplace to hang stockings 

(wish I did have a fireplace though, but this is a good alternate)

or this cute idea! Just tie coffee cups on the stairs! and fill with sweets.

(Kandi, is this similar to your Christmas Basket idea??)

Completely adore the paper cut out wreath, and that reindeer!! SO adorable.

I am really into reindeer this year, and these metal cut out deer work well with the gold accents. They look great on that table (looks like a west elm table)

LOVE those huge ornaments over the table.

I am really liking this string of baubles! and that glass container filled with limes and candles!! 

I am always in search of stars, and these are perfect for the 

backs of chairs or tied to a gift!

What are you doing this holiday season for decorations?

I am working like crazy, I came home shoveled snow from my sidewalks, came into my house and my dog had got into the box I had all my craft items that I have been assembling for a charity holiday sale!!


Can I say feathers everywhere and I have the most sparkly house ever!!
GLITTER all over the place! then I found my digital camera!! in pieces!!!!!!
so I can not even take a photo to prove it all!!!


I am so stressed and this was so not helping my stress level!


I will be taking the next few days off of blogging to get caught up on everything!
until then, I will be thinking of you all.


deep breathe, ommmmmmm!
