White Christmas

The largely anticipated Christmas book is about to arrive.

The folks at Jeanne d’Arc Living were swamped
 in the last year with requests

to reprint this book. They decided to not

only reprint but to reprint in soft cover to lower the price.

Good for us

Did I mention it’s in English this time?

So not only can I drool but I can read too.

Some Christmas packaging ideas.
Wrapping a present is probably my favorite part.

 

 

I thought I’d share with you a wonderful giveaway I won

from one of my favorite bloggers,

Chrissy from The Apothacary Shop.

I have followed her blog since I first started blogging.

She’s someone with great style and  redecorates her home often.

We’re the lucky ones that get a peek at her latest changes.

Her style and images are like the pages of Jeanne d’Arc Living. 

My win was this gorgeous and unique necklace made by an

artist that she found in the same store her
 husband sells his furniture.

He’s a talented cabinet maker and their home is filled

with special pieces that he’s made.

I’ve worn this necklace a few times worn alone and with
other longer necklaces and it looks great both ways. 

I just love this little box with stamped text.

The number is such a cool addition.

Numerical style is everywhere now.

The year of the digit is what JDL claimed
was a big trend for 2010.

I think it will continue for some time.

Don’t you?

In addition to the necklace was an array of perfumes and creams.

I can always use these!

Chrissy works in the beauty industry as a

cosmetologist giving

her a window, I think,
into what is esthetically pleasing.

Beautiful objects whether animate or inanimate
still follow the same principles.

So you can get a feel of her warm
and charming style I've included some pictures
from her blog.

Thank you Chrissy.

I love everything you sent.

I'm so lucky to call you my friend!

Go visit her and you'll be happy you did.

You'll return over and over again.
