Merry Christmas!

Just stopping in to wish you a Merry Christmas with some vintage Christmas kitties. I hope your day is full of fun, goodies, and people you love.

See you soon! <3

The Curious and Quirky Christmas Wishlist

Christmas is growing ever nearer and even though all my presents are purchased and it might be just a little bit too late, I still wanted to compile a weird and wonderful wishlist to share with you! I hope my strange taste in collectibles doesn't deter you too much!

1 \\ Stonehill Design has a beautiful collection of apothecary jars and medical tools, but this set of pill bottles really struck my eye. I'd love to put the bottles on display!

2 \\ Love these animal anatomy pillows from Myrte Musee! I couldn't choose just one!

3 \\ These make your own butterfly terrarium kits are amazing. As someone just getting into butterfly collecting, this would be a beautiful way to start out before transitioning into preserving my own specimens! Find them at The Amateur Naturalist 

4 \\ If I'm going to have taxidermy, I'd definitely want it to be an animal as interesting as the bat. Seriously fascinating creatures. From bonejewelry.

5 \\ This may seem a little weird, but I would love to have this 1800s hair locket! This type of piece and Victorian hair art in general are quite interesting. Wolf House Vintage.

6 \\ An insect preserved in amber from baltcoast. Combines two of my interests - minerals and insect specimens!

I hope everyone is finishing up their Christmas shopping without feeling too stressed about it...I waited a bit too long this year to get everything I needed online, so I had to make a last-minute-desperation shopping trip! Everything turned out okay though and I'm all done. Now all that's left is to enjoy the remainder of the season!!

See you soon! <3

Lazy Sunday Instagram Roundup #5

Been loving the countdown on our new Advent calendar!    \\      Lucy thought this box looked comfy.

Presents under the tree make it seem so real - soon it will be Christmas!

Been a little quiet on instagram this week, as we've been very busy working and shopping and wrapping and preparing. Not to mention cleaning! Family being spread far and wide amounts to a lot of planning and coordinating for the holidays. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone and, even though it doesn't look like it will be a white one, it will still be a really wonderful Christmas.

See you soon! <3

Ornamental

Yay, December is finally here! Now I can begin to prepare for Christmas in earnest and people won't think I'm quite the huge Christmas nerd. I'm so excited about our Christmas tree this year. He's lumpy and lopsided and totally natural and I love him.

My favorite ornaments:

This was the ornament for our first kitty, Klaus, who sadly passed away last Christmas. <3

And our first Christmas together. 

 

Lucy the Christmas Kitty has been a little too excited about the tinsel on the tree...But my husband insisted we have it, so I'll be spending the holiday season following after her picking up the stray bits.

Have you started decorating for the holidays? It's just one of my favorite things in the world.

See you soon! <3
