bits & pieces

merry monday everyone! well, our weekend was pretty much consumed with christmas, here are bits and peices of our weekend.

---> went to the hardware store to pick up charcoal, soil & mason jars. i wanted to share my outfit for trees, who does a great wardrobe challenge every wednesday and last week her challenge was shorts and i wanted to show her my favorite weekend outfit, shorts with tights!

---> went to a cute local store to pick up some cards and fell in love with some of the decorations and new that brumhilda needed a few things :)

 ---> had a late breakfast date with tom. scones and cappuccinos are my favorite simple breakfast to devour  :)

---> tom is a sign painter at trader joes and often does the holiday windows. he always gets offers for side jobs and a sweet older lady asked tom to do a simple design for her front windows, so i played assistant for a few hours. it turned out really great and later the lady called to tell him how fantastic it was. that warmed my heart <3

---> this was the house across the street from where tom was painting. me want this house

---> rosie being a heater whore and looking so precious in front of our christmas tree made from baby food jars.

---> made some clementine marmalade only to find out i don't like marmalade. it is good but next time i am gonna make a recipe that i like, maybe strawberries and blackberry jam! that's the ticket!

---> made our black bear succulent terrarium. we made another one but it is a present and i don't want to spoil it :)

---> thrifted these amazing 70's ceramic owls, they had just been put on the shelf. pretty much meant for me.

man an i wiped out. i really need to start christmas present earlier! how was your weekend?

    Love your outfit! Shorts and tights during winter is one of my favorite combinations! Your tree made out of jars is so creative! And I love your terrarium :) That is so cool your husband does sign painting for Trader Joes. i always thought that must be a really fun job!

    That's so funny! My sister and I were just talking about the people who paint the signs at Trader Joe's! We were wondering who they were, and if they painted them in store or ship them, etc. Mystery solved!

    I am loving those little deer candles! Also, I think being a sign painter at Trader Joe's has to rank right up there with coolest jobs ever.
