Another two-day work week!!! I could get used to this. I couldn't let a last Monday go by in the year without a mood board. It's been a lovely season all told, considering. We are currently awaiting to hear what the family has decided on a memorial for my uncle. It will be tough since the family is scattered all over the US. I do know he did not want to funeral service. I stopped by yesterday to drop off some baked goods for some friends, to find their Christmas decorations down already!! WHAT? They usually decorate right after Thanksgiving. Which drive me nuts when people rush holidays. By time the day gets here, they are tired and burnt out of it. Which is why I don't immerse myself or decorate too early. Plus all their friends and guest have been stopping in only to find the atmosphere gone already. I generally keep my trimmings up to the week after New Years. I have long liked giving each holiday it's time. I'm also ready to hibernate.
I, for one, am glad to see the back of 2025 (i.e., don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!). Here's to 2026: may it be a happier one for all of us who didn't vote for HWSNBN!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say I look forward to 2026, but have no hope here at least. HWSNBN, I suspect will bring even worst havoc next year.
DeleteDecorations coming down? We never put any up. Bah Humbug. Jx
ReplyDeleteNot even your glass Bah Humbug?????
DeleteNot even an actual humbug. Jx
DeleteLe Nouvel An approche.
ReplyDeleteJ’adore la Citroën DS, la marraine fée, les house-boys, les boules à disco, les desserts, la table dressée et l’ours brun :)
Beau Mec à Deauville
J'adore les Citroën vintage. Mon grand-père en avait une, à une époque.
DeleteEt la marraine fée, c'est Effie Trinket des films Hunger Games. Le personnage est fabuleux.
Great mood board as always!
ReplyDeleteYou do the best work! Breathe it all in children is perfectly located. Yes, let’s breathe it all in.
ReplyDeleteI love me some Effie Trinket!
DeleteLove the mood; that bedroom, those cakes, bottles popping!
ReplyDeleteYes, let's kick 2025's ass and tell 2026 she better bring it right!
I have no hope for 2026 for the country and world at least.
DeleteI love a thick man! Love the New Year theme going on. We hope it brings hope.
ReplyDeleteLet's truly hope that we see a kinder atmosphere all around. Love the photos!!

ReplyDeleteHere’s to new beginnings and a healthy new year. I’m sure you’ll be popping your “cork” at midnight. 😉
Well, since I can't eat much still...I have no problem serving up my meat!!!!! I'm always up for "popping my cork"!
DeleteBear!
ReplyDeleteJust once, I would like to throw a dinner party with such lovely settings as the one with the roses. Wouldn't that be nice?
ReplyDelete'26 will be better if.... well, no sense in getting ones hopes up. But it would be really, really nice to be rid of him.
I have had dinner parties with fancy settings. It's work, but I love seeing all the delight on people's faces when you do up such a nice table. It's all worth it. And I have no hopes for the country for 2026, and only hope he will finally buy the farm in 2026!!!!!!
DeleteAh! That second picture reminds me I have that car in my GTA Online garage, except it has a pair of skis on that roof rack.
ReplyDelete2026 - the year the aliens arrive?
ReplyDeleteHell Helen, even they aren't so dumb to even invade Earth. Im sure they want nothing to do with our blue marble.
DeleteIs the Israeli porn star because you want to piss off Nettan you know who?
ReplyDeletePiss him off??? If I had my way he'd wouldn't be around much longer.
DeleteNow I don't know why, but this one is one of my favorite mood boards you've done. Love the bear! And ADORE the newest header!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
