a look back at the christmas just past - part 1

we decked this wall instead of a hall...

... and hung our homemade garlands and stockings with care on another wall, for lack of a mantle...

... and I fashioned this stole out of the fur of an old coat-collar to feel festive and sassy and fashion-forward all at once (or is fur fashion-backward?!? I just know all the kids are wearing it on the blogs I stalk...)
