Happy Friday! Feeling a bit better about my prospects for getting this Christmas thing pulled together in time. This weekend, the tree is coming in (and getting decorated: even bought oodles of new “warm” led lights). Then on Monday, it’s Santa Lucia Day, which is my favorite coöpted part of the holiday season and always lifts my spirits. Hope you’re feeling merry, too.
On with the Five:
- christmas 2010
- like stars only sweeter (kicking myself for not starting paperwhites this year)
- It’s snowing right now
- vintage tartan
- untitled
My Christmas cards arrived on Thursday, too. I’m eager to send them out into the world: more about that soon. Have a fantastic weekend. If pre-fall inspires, I’ll peek back in, otherwise, see you Monday.

I have fallen for a new color palette, thanks to Ports 1961. The pre-fall collection is romantic yet modern, and I simply adore look 2 pictured above. (May have to suspend my “no hose” rule and wear tights again.) See the full show at Style.com.

Detailed stitching; simple concept. I adore these embroidered gift tags from Pi’lo, sold in sets of 5 and perfect for any gift giving occasion.

Love this simple invitation from Basic French. (I’m envisioning it for an 8-year-old girl’s birthday/tea party for some reason.) Full of charm.
