Hey friends, how was your weekend? I’m starting to panic now since it’s getting close to sharing my Christmas home tour for Lindsay’s (White Buffalo Styling Company) Blogger Stylin Home Tours. The weather is so dark and dreary. How am I going to take pictures? And the forecast looks terrible. I have been pushing this task ahead of me and there’s no change in sight. Now, now…I’ll stop whining about my photos and will share my Christmas list with you. I have a Pinterest board that I made for the hubby filled with things that I’d love to have.

 

1 / Ayi Faux Cowhide Rug – Charcoal  (yup it’s faux because I don’t want a dead cow in my house ๐Ÿ˜‰
2 / COCOA & HEARTS lip print
3 / Gold Flatware
4 / Large gold or silver disco ball
5 / Scoppio Sphere On A Stand

(Has been on  my list for the second year. I really wish Ikea would come up with a cheaper version)   And speaking of gold flatware, I found some Italian made gold flatware at TJ Maxx last week which really was too good to be true. I drove to all the Marshalls and TJ Maxx in our area to find more but couldn’t. Such a bummer but at least I have some gold spoons, ha!

And I also treated myself with a HomeGoods leopard plate and cup. Just had to get it. It is totally something that makes me smile. I also wish I could find more of these.    I saw a plate like this for the first time at Carmel’s “Our Fifth House” who has a leopard plate hanging on her wall.

 

Tschüß

Julia

    Love all your picks for Christmas, I would take any of those! ๐Ÿ™‚ That flatware is gorgeous too, that’s the only thing that stinks sometimes about Homegoods is that they don’t always have more than one of something.

    Would love to add these snowflakes to my holiday decor! Have a very Merry Christmas!

    I really should be checking TJMaxx and Homegoods more often. Thanks for the reminder! (Your blog is the first one I check everyday.)

    Those lips are HOT ๐Ÿ™‚ I love the pink color on them :). I follow you on Facebook, but through my page, not my profile, so the app up there can’t figure that out I don’t think. I didn’t try though, but that is usually the case;) I adore those vinyl snow flakes. So festive!!

    What a great find at TJMaxx. Hope you get more to complete the set!

    i love the cowhide- even if it is fake. ๐Ÿ˜‰ i tell you what though a friend of mine who is a very green minded sheep farmer has a hide rug and she is also a vet- she loves it because it is easy to clean- you can take it out and hose it off!!!!!! that appeals to me. and i love that gold disco ball!

  7. DRTVrMoi says

    Well, who doesn’t love a disco ball? I received one and sneak it out from time to time. It goes with nothing in my home except my fond memories of the 80s

    I have wanted that lip print forever…I actually used to have a space between my teeth until I had it filled right before my wedding. There are definitely some times that I wonder why I did that…the space was so unique and me, but I lived with it that way for 25 years so I was ready to stop looking 18…now it wouldn’t be so bad. ๐Ÿ˜‰ And you are so sweet to do a giveaway. In my opinion, a giveaway is a giveaway and I appreciate that YOU are doing it and not some company is doing it for you! ๐Ÿ˜‰ xoxo

    Love your list, fingers crossed you find something on it under your tree! ๐Ÿ™‚ I haven’t seen either of those awesome finds at our Homegoods, but if I had the leopard set I might sit down for breakfast instead of standing at my island. Your snowflakes are so fun, thanks for your sweet gesture!

    I love that lip print…it’s so chic. And gold flatware…hmm…I am not sold on that…I wonder if it would turn brassy after a while…or be something that I have to hand wash??

  14. Amy Krist says

    December 9, 2013 at 3:19 pm

    Boy your wish list is so chic compared to mine which mostly consists of power tools!! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I hope Santa listens and brings you what you want. Thank you for this sweet giveaway. Hugs, Amy

    I found some gold flatware on a flash site and snatched it up for our 8th anniversary. Unfortunately it’s in storage with other cool stuff I own, so I can’t show it off. Booooo. Hope the sun comes out and you’re able to get some good shots of what I know is going to be a fabulous holiday home tour!

    Was für eine “glitzi-pitzi”-Liste (das ist eine Wortkreation meiner Schwester ;-)).

    Ich bin auch auf der Suche nach einer Diskokugel, die wirft so tolle Reflektionen an die Wände. Wegen der scoppio spheres: Da habe ich in den letzten Wochen in einigen Blogs DIY-Anleitungen gesehen. Meistens wurden die mit air drying clay und Zahnstochern oder Schaschlikspießen gemacht und dann gold gesprüht. Vielleicht ist das ja eine Alternative, falls der Weihnachtsmann sie Dir dieses Jahr wieder nicht bringt :-)…

    Viele Grüße aus Norddeutschland
    Katrin

    Yes, the faux cowhide! And the gold flatware, too.

  36. Sara says

    December 11, 2013 at 12:21 am

    I love those snow flakes! I actually just bought some at Joann Fabrics (Martha Stewart makes some). They look great on our windows ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am seriously considering a sheepskin rug. A little different than the cowhide, of course, but still quite seasonally appropriate ๐Ÿ™‚

  37. [email protected] says

    December 11, 2013 at 2:17 am

    Ah! Love the disco ball, the pink lips and the spheres on a stand very much! ๐Ÿ™‚ & those vinyl snowflakes ๐Ÿ™‚ so pretty! It’s a nice giveaway Julia ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’m shocked to see so much gold on your wish list ;). I’m going to have to check my TJ Maxx for that flatware…I really want some to go with my Thanksgiving/Christmas/generally fancy dishes!

    I just love that uou have a wishlidt board on pinterest, such a good idea. I’d just adore some of your vinyl snowlfakes to liven up bmy dark hallyway. Excuse the typos please typing whilst nursing a wriggly babe. Thank you for opening up the giveaway too, I hate being left out of most giveaways just because I’m not stateside.
