Hello my CandyLoves!!! As I sit and wait 2012 out, I thought it would be a great idea to let y'all into my little holiday home. With Christmas gone, it pains me to take down my holiday decor. I figured, what better way to pay homage than to share it with those I care about. Enjoy! :)
I must admit that I've never been one to go all out in decorating for any holiday. This year, I owe my inspiration to the Christmas issue of Romantic Homes. This has been one of the best issues EVER! It sparked my love for holiday decor! I thank Romantic Homes and its contributors for sharing their amazing homes in this issue! :)
I too am a lover of pink, sweets, cupcakes, and anything girly. I chose to create a theme for my Christmas tree and modeled it after the Sugar Plum Fairy from the famous Nutcracker Ballet.
Here she is! The Sugar Plum Fairy herself!
This was not quite the tiara I had in mind, but it definitely did the job...well, after I added my touch. :) Next year, the tiara will be OVER THE TOP!
Here she is all lit up. She's quite a darling!
I really love that this looks like shimmering cotton candy! OMG!
If you know me, you know that I'm notorious for taking pictures!!! I often say that my life can be told through my pictures. I really do believe that! :)
ta ta ta dum! Introducing the Sugar Plum Fairy, yet again!
This faux cupcake I purchased on etsy...isn't it soooo befitting?!?!
& the Nutcracker himself (in PINK!!!)
This is my little pride and joy! I tried to model it after the one featured in Romantic Homes using vintage Christmas ornaments. I must say that I really love the way it turned out. AMAZE BALLS!
She sits inside my door and I'm contemplating leaving her up year round...hmmm?
This sweet thing is a little plain for most but perfect for my love of shabby chic and pretty pink things. She kept a watchful eye on the outside. :)
Pretty in Pink Tinsel. My kitchen was in perfect company with this little number. :)
Here we have my beautiful Trinity...excited about her Christmas gifts. She loves this time of the year!!!
...& my Damien, ecstatic on Christmas morning!
I had to share my pandora bracelet. I must say that it really isn't my style but for some reason or other, I was definitely dying for one. I received it as a birthday gift from my family and was excited to receive the cupcake charm and fleur de lis charm to add to it. ...my family knows my love of cupcakes and french flair so well :)
I found these cupcake ornaments the day after Christmas. I was not able to add them to my tree but guess what? They will serve as the main ornaments for my upcoming Valentine's Day tree!
What Christmas is complete without a great set of friends? I had a small Christmas social this year at my apartment and the turn out was great. I LOVE these people! Belated Merry Christmas!
Christmas is gone and the New Year is approaching. I'm thankful for all the blessings I received and continue to receive. May y'all toast to the new year with pink bubbly and may y'all have a prosperous New Year! Enjoy!!!  |
