And A Happy New Year

Here are some images from Christmas week, celebrating Christmas eve, Christmas and

the day after. Saying good-bye to 2012. This is a shot of my friend Cristina's

chandelier in her home on Christmas eve. Cristina is my daughter's sister-in-law.

 

 I wish you all love and happiness in 2013. This is a shot of my

grand-daughter's necklace.

 Handmade bracelet from a handsome and charming Italian

gentleman, Gianni, Cristina's father.

My grand-daughter's new animal print I-phone cover.

 Stylish shoes seen on Christmas eve on my daughter.

  Crowns inside candle holders. I hope to post these later with candles in them.

These were a gift to my daughter.

Wrought iron front entrance on Christmas day.

 

Yours truly getting excited about the food on Christmas day.

 My grand-daughter is taking the picture. I'm talking to her

 while being very distracted by the food. As you can see

over time I've been very distracted by food. I'm

probably telling her not to take my picture.

I'm looking very grandmotherly here.

I'm wearing a Johnny Was scarf and top with an Orvis

vest. Earrings are handmade from vintage faux gems from

the forties and I'm wearing Gianni's bracelet.

 

 The day after Christmas lunch (after shopping) in the marina in Long Beach.

Photo taken through the window of the restaurant.

 

This bring out the rebel in you?

 Good food in a relaxed atmosphere with a fantastic view.

A Very Merry Christmas

A Very Merry Christmas from Southern California

 

Here are some images in and around home

this Christmas.

 

Cocktail napkins

 

Festive votives with little bells

My heart and prayers go out to all who are stricken by the tragedy that

occurred at the Sandy Hill elementary school in Newton, Connecticut.

 

Chandeliers At Christmas

If you know me, you know I love chandeliers. I was doing a little

Christmas shopping and came across this beautiful eye candy.

The chandelier is being reflected in a vintage mirror.

 

 

 

 

I couldn't resist posting this beauty. $85.00

 

All photos were taken at Country Roads Antiques

at the circle in Orange, California.

 

 

Roses In The Rain

This is my coral rose with what looks like little crystal sparkles all

over it. It got caught in the rain this past week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It almost looks like my coral rose is covered in diamonds.
