Happy Halloween

It's Halloween and suddenly I am in full Holiday mode.

 Currently working on photographing all of the goodies above and more. So much more.

Positively Spring like here today. A balmy 75 degrees now. Woke up to this sweet birthday package from Amy in Tuscon. Someone I have never met, but a gal that over the course of this last year has become a happy friend. She sent me this beautiful vintage millinery tulip spray that now adorns a beaded bag along with an amethyst glass bird brooch that arrived from Duff of Jean Jean Vintage.

Speaking of birthdays and vintage. Is there some kind of social description for Pisces that we love vintage? So many vintage gals with B-days this week alone. Make sure to stop and say Happy B-day to these lovely ladies! Feel free to add your name to the list if I missed anyone!

Yesterday- Amy from Wildfell Hall Vintage

Today along with mine, Chelsey from  McGregor Girl Vintage

and tomorrow Lauren from Dear Golden vintage

Can I also say in a non-stalking celebrity kind of way that Drew Barrymore and I were practically born in the same breath and that she also loves vintage and if she were to ever meet me, we would be best friends forever. Ok, that is it. I said it.

Happy Birthday ladies!

New Years Eve

 

A few new items for the new year in No Carnations Home. Take a look, I'll be at work...ALL day & night!  Happy New years!

Merry Christmas

Our tree this year was a quick trip to the office supply and a bit of math

Above : My favorite vintage ornament and lots of Pendleton pillows from Little Byrd vintage 

 Some evergreen trimmings, handmade felt garland and snow rose hellebore to trim the mantle

 I wanted these bells from Toast last year, but found this vintage garland soon after for pennies...

  

Gifts from my mother last year, a Christmas tree pillow and these awesome Gense salt & pepper shakers designed by Peter Forssell

Lastly, a little vignette at the bottom of the stairs. Christmas is a good time to break out the Dansk candles and holders.

Merry Christmas from our house to yours!

(A special hello to Mom, Revis, Sonia, Connie, Clay, Nash, Chelsea, Dusty and Jazen)
