I had the hardest time waking up this morning. I sat on my couch, drinking my chai, with a glazed over zombie look! I wish I could say that I eventually moved into a more coherent state, but I'm still walking around, bumping into things, kind of drooling. A weekend of recouping and rejuvinating will be greatly appreciated!
This weekend Andrew and I are putting up our Christmas tree! Yes, we're kind of jumping the gun, but the week after Thanksgiving, when we would normally put up the tree, is jam packed. We'll turn on the Christmas music, stir up some hot cidar, and pull out the ornaments and berry garlands. We have a "law school" Christmas tree. It's about four feet tall, papery plastic, with branches you pull apart and "fluff." Yeah, it's a fake. But it's cute, and it'll due till we can get the real thing. What do you have planned for the weekend? Anything fun?
1. Bone votives by sarapaloma

3. Black wrap skirt by larimeloom

Love that bag! Hope you have an amazing weekend as well!
Happy decorating.
Every year I listen to Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas and Bing Crosby's White Christmas. The holidays just wouldn't be the same without them.
Enjoy!
Yeah I'm feeling that way too...need another chai! Oh have fun tree trimming!
putting up your tree early sounds like a ho-ho-whole lotta' fun. jeez, i'm so corny ;)! have a great weekend!
love that black wrap skirt!!!
the coral branch is pretty cool too.
i hope your weekend is all fun, relaxation and merriness!!
I hope to put up my tree on thanksgiving, (staying here by myself and my dog, am excited about that all that quietness:)
Attend a dance performance at Purchase college with my daughter, meet with the architect for the addition and review the plans, edit some work, shop with my sons for some warm items and maybe attend a holiday craft show. dinner with my sister and brother in law in the city, they are here visiting...Boy I am tired already-
Let me go lie down!
Hope you have a merry, merry weekend, Julia! Martin and I are having a party on Saturday. I love parties and I LOVE to dance! I'm wearing a new pair of pretty high heel shoes, so I hope I can stand them long enough! xoxo
oh, i hope you have the best time decorating your tree together. as for the hubby and i, doing photo shoot after photo shoot.
Hooray for tree trimming! I am envious of you in that your husband is not a grinch about putting up a tree and decorating. Have fun!
Leroy and I are having a game night with the Axtman clan on Saturday. I am praying my cold goes away before then. Hooray for benadryl, zicam, and cold and sinus bath salts!
Have fun decorating! We're putting up our tree right after Thanksgiving -- I'd do it sooner, but we need to still get the tree from our storage unit, aka, my parents' attic :)
Love chai and love the first night the tree is up. It really does feel magical. As for this weekend, the husband and I are driving 6 hours to see a puppy at a rescue we have our eyes on for the kids for Christmas....shhhhh...
Your weekend sounds fun. How fast can I get to Wisconsin? :)
I am in awe with this weeks Friday favorites. I love them all! Your weekend sounds so fun! I'm jealous. :)
looks great!
yeah-dont you feel like we all rush through the holidays. Maybe you can cherish Christmas a tad longer this year with a head start! Good for you.

Those bone votives are GORGEOUS. What a great find. Happy weekend!
Hope you get some much needed rest this weekend!
We have to do a "fake" tree also since one dog eats the real thing and the other dog pees on it thinking it's the great outdoors indoors!!
Love you list, the dress is gorgeous!
nothing wrong with a fake tree! ...i prefer to call it 'faux' cause it just sounds classier ;)
enjoy putting it up, nonetheless!
You'll have to share pictures:)
Sorry haven't kept in touch much, my head has been spinning real fast:)
Have a super relaxing weekend!
Those votives are beautiful! I love coming across her stuff every now and then. So simple and lovely.
