I just experienced my very own Christmas miracle. My camera died this week, but a friend is letting me borrow his Canon T2i until I buy my own in a week or two. So I will be back with regular posting next week. Whew! I hope you have a magical time creating new memories and enjoying old traditions with family and friends this weekend!

I’ve been loving the roundups of Christmas decorations in the homes of Bloesem Readers. If I had more spare time, I might even go all crazy woman in this apartment and pull out even more decorations! Well, at least I can store away the ideas for next year.

Okay, so I know I already decorated for the holidays, but I have been loving the festive decor I’ve been seeing pop up around the interwebs. I got to thinking… I really don’t have much vintage or kitsch in my seasonal decor, and I love to have little smatterings of fun things here and there. I might have to raid my mom’s stash of reject Christmas decorations!
