yodelayheehoo!

i don't know prescicely why, but "yodelayheehoo" is the first thought that popped into my head when i first saw jena of missmodish in this adorable sweater! immediately afterwards i wondered, what does yodelayheehoo mean exactly, anyway? according to one source, urban dictionary, it might mean "a trimphant exclamation of feeling that can be spoken and heard as spirited celebration or earnest sorrow and can be used by merely uttering the word or yodeling it's context in a sobering nature." ok. well, something to think about. :) : "vintage black diamond sweater" at missmodish, "4 pint glasses had engraved with floating flakes" by daydreemdesigns, "vintage suede lederhosen" at pickledvintage, "a little piece of wonderland - fine art print" by emmainwonderland, yummy "homemade cardomom marshmallows" by whimsyandspice, and "deer family etching" by thetimeisnow.

pretty little things

a new year, and a fresh new outlook! that's what i'm going for, anyway. this week i am tackling the closet in my room - next week who knows? i definitely want to make use of some of the frames that i know are hiding in the back of said closet. so much art to choose from, so little time! in the meantime, here's a few pretty things for your viewing pleasure. from top to bottom: "original map collage - mini series/ACEO/art card - heal" by selflesh, "secret language 7 " by mydarlingdinosaur, "mint motorola" by simplyhue, "tote - squares" by pawling, "vodka shot scoop - the real icebreaker" by naturedesign. happy tuesday!

the most wonderful time of the year

cliche but true for me. i met my husband at this time of year and the memories i have of that christmas and new years' eve are magical - they really do sparkle with christmas lights. :) this will be my last post until after the holiday. i hope you all have a happy one! from top to bottom: "little green houses" by copperinc, "a man with strong eyes" artbyelizabethbauman, "ferris wheel no. 3" by feaverish, "waiting for the rain" by prettylittlethieves, "letters to you" by paperiaarre, and "grapefruit mint blend - soy wax candle" by oakmoss.

a little white house

i came across this photo of mudpuppy's "little white house" this morning and thought how beautiful such a simple concept can be. i am hoping to do a lot of relaxing by the fire and even painting in my studio over christmas break. lots of hustle and bustle here in the city at christmas time which is fun - but also a little hectic and crazy. it will be nice to be in vermont slowing down for a bit. only one more week of hustle and bustle to go! hope all of you enjoying the season as much as i am. p.s. see my treasury "olive you christmas time" for more simple christmas time beauty.

i'll have a blue christmas

why not? just look at all this holiday gorgeousness! i just love that party dress from etsy vintage shop deargolden - so beautiful. so, from top to bottom: "origami /no5 /Desir" by lilimandrill, "vintage 1950s golden bough party dress" at deargolden, "santa's cookie plate" by jennyblasenpottery, "paper doll Nr.2" (free shipping!) by deardodo, "where the wild things are hat" at (another favorite vintage stop) thrush, "mix media word selection tape" by lillalotta, and "dove ornament" by lupin. p.s. for more christmasy blues, take a peek at my treasury on etsy.

oh, tannenbaum!

oh, the weather outside is frightful...actually, it's really beautiful here in boston today - about 50 degrees or so, and sunny! it feels very strange. i'm not letting the weather interfere with my christmas-time enthusiasm, however. i came across a couple of these absolutely beautiful items this morning while browsing etsy over a cup of tea. i have a new treasury percolating, :). from top to bottom: "vintage minimalist - three light bare bulb pendant" by kamlampcompany, "haus ornament set" by filzfelt, "low wide coper man ray verity" by jillrosenwald, "feathery" by ifihadwords, and "let it snow typographic cutout christmas card" by pocketstudio.
