The Festive Abode: Holiday Time
The holidays are here, so with Thanksgiving under our belts (literally), its time to switch gears and start thinking about the glitz and glamour of holiday parties, the glitter and sparkle of snowflakes and icicles, the sweet and spicy treats and the giving and getting of gifts.
One of my favorite things about this time of year is decorating my apartment for the holidays, and I think that’s a good starting point to kick off the season. While everybody knows that the bling and the baubles aren’t completely what brings warmth to this season, you know that I love to set the scene! So, without further ado, here are some of my festive favs!

Maison Martin Margeila by L'Atelier d'Exercices Oversize Snow Globe, $190

The large size and lucite base of this dreamy snow globe make it a showstopper for the holidays!
Jonathan Adler Bird Bowl, $188.00

A fabulous gold bird to hold your chocolates, candies, holiday cards, whatever! Pretty enough to keep out all year round.

I love the simple design of this wreath, it makes a big statement on a front door or mantle.
Mini Felt Apple Ornament Set by Ashleigh's Apartment, $15.00 for 3

How sweet are these handmade apple ornaments? A vase of white branches adorned with several of these would be a fun and simple tree for someone in a smaller space.

Can't you picture this little guy in the branches of your Christmas tree or nestled in a stocking?

Baking all those cookies will be a bit more joyful with an adorable vintage-inspired apron.
