This weekend found me decking the halls finally. I never decorate to early as I keep my decorations up generally till after the first week after New Years. I love decorating, and it's often a process of joy, making me happy and can be melancholic. For me, Christmas is a time to enjoy with family and friends, good food and drink, relaxing, and doing the decorating. I love the decorations of yester year the best, and almost all my decorations are from friends, and past family members that passed on to me or inherited. So... when it comes to decorating, unwrapping, and placing items, it seems everything has a great memory, a story, an ode to a certain person. So... in a way Christmas for me is an ode of sorts to many past and present, and some great memories and traditions. Many I find sadly let traditions go and sweep them under the carpet these days. More to come from the Casa soon.
Happy Monday.... Yikes! what a shit show of a weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, and I'm glad one of us is into the Christmas spirit. I'll have to blog about that soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping nothing dire happened.
DeleteA terrific moodboard, as always! I love those festively decorated dogs!
ReplyDeleteI thought I'm trying to do that with Sophie, and she was like yeah right.
DeleteI love the dog decorated with ornaments. Since we are still in reno mode, and will probably redo flooring next month, Christmas decorations will be spare this year, but still the pieces that have meaning to us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, now I have to look up Jacob Peterson.
ReplyDeleteOh I see....i assume your familiar with his artistic side, lol!
DeletePerfect Monday, sweetpea! Especially after all the insanity and sorrow of this weekend. You've made me smile again! (IYKYK and I think you do!) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI hope you have been keep well oit there Savy!
DeleteOh Karen carpenter. What a sweet voice. Such a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not decorating much this year. My father is terminally ill and I just don't have the heart for it. Xx
I can't say I blame you. Even with my oral surgery going on in recovery I was even debating if I would decorate my house. But living in the US I figured I needed it.
DeleteBut where did you hang the mistletoe? Your belt-buckle? Jx
ReplyDeleteI swear, its like you're in the Next Room.
DeleteYou do these so well. I love the dogs! And Karen Carpenter! After all these years, I still get sad when I hear her sing. Tragic.
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas song in particular makes me melancholic. She had such a soothing voice.
DeleteOhhh Love me some Carpenters!
ReplyDeleteAnd I lowkey love that firs photo in pink. Yes.
I bet your house is gonna look gorge. You have such great taste for these things...
I'm just adding some red to my usual palette for the Holidays. It'll probably stay until Valentine's.
LOL
XOXO
I'll share pictures soon dear.
DeleteI love your moods.
ReplyDeleteTell that to my co- workers!
DeleteVintage decorations are the best and so are the "bauble dogs"! Black-capped chickadees are one of my favourite bird species too -- they're such cheery little buggers wth their "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" calls!
ReplyDeleteThat's all I hear in the morning out the windows.
DeleteA Christmas Tree bouffant. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnother great installment of moods! You know I love the first one. I love pink.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the guy on the sofa for $300 Mistress!
ReplyDeleteGood see you decking, or is that dicking, the halls.
ReplyDeleteI had great fun decorating over the weekend....I'll share pictures soon.
DeleteYou'd have to be careful, like Marie Antoinette and her look alikes, when walking through a doorway with that seasonal hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteHelen, back in the day, some of my wigs were so high, I had to sit in the car with the seat back getting driven to clubs.
DeleteNoël approche ✨
ReplyDeleteJ’adore votre mood board :)
Le garçon de la maison et les desserts, très délicieux !
Beau Mec à Deauville
The most eclectic Xmas bog lol
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh! A video by Ike and Karen Carpenter... : )
ReplyDeleteA very calming group. Voices like silk.
DeleteLuv me some mood board !
ReplyDeleteAnd glad to see you’re recovering well from your oral surgery.
That muscular jock on the sofa is an open invitation to fuck ! :)
-CA jock
Isn't that a HOT picture!!!!!!!!
DeleteI love your Mood Boards and am always intrigued by how you put them together. They could seem random but they are certainly not that.
ReplyDeleteThese are one of my most simple posts to do, yet everyone is wildly enthusiastic about them, including myself, I'm not sure why.
