Christmas Cheer! (A few days late ;)


My goodness! I am embarrassingly late at writing another post! I am going to try much harder in 2013 by blogging a little bit more.

 It's been quite busy with a little one, and by the time you're done with your day - you just want to enjoy it alone, huddled up by the fire place, under a blanket playing on the iPad and wondering where the day went :)

I'll post some holiday photos that I never had a chance to post of little decorated areas around my house.  Here are my little Alessi Christmas characters (above) and my Alessi Nativity Scene! (below)



This next photo I finally hunted down a proper sized frame for. The original photo (above) spoke volumes to me, that I contacted artist Kelli Murray to customize her work to look more like me - and she did an amazing job! I love it so much!
 These Christmas boxes below, I used to put Edie's Christmas calender gifts in. She was so excited to wake up every morning to see which box I would pull out to reveal a little surprise. :)

 As you can tell I love deer, and I have to personally thank my mom for also spraying these white, and making these wicked vintage looking trees! She's so damn talented! Thanks mom!

Did you all have a good Christmas? Was Santa good to you? How will you be ringing in the New Year?

I Heart Santigold!


If Boney M, M.I.A, Kim Wilde, and The Sex Pistols could birth a musical prodigy it would be Santigold! I've been listening to this amazing artist/producer for a short time, but I feel I need to write about her before year end.

My soul sings when I hear her and have such an almost tribal connection to her reggae, 80's pop-punk vibe. Glorious!

It would be pretty wicked to see this lady live. Such a talent! I'm sure most of you have heard her single "Disparate Youth" and if you haven't - you really should! I'll post it below.

Santigold's album "Master of My Make-Believe" is solid through in though. The production is fabulous!

A guaranteed fantastical purchase! :)

Enjoy "Disparate Youth" below
