the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

happy mundane made this christmas tree, or i'm pretty sure he did
   Look at what Jonathan Lo of Happy Mundane and It's (K)not Wood made! I am pretty sure he made his own Christmas tree. I have been following the thread of his Ornament Adventure posts of late and saw the results yesterday. Isn't this tree beautiful? I am thinking that he made the concentric circles from progressively smaller lampshade structures, but I can't quite figure it out. I am hoping that Jon will kindly comment on this post and explain a bit more about the tree structure. He did make many of the ornaments. And some he purchased. I especially like the white ones, which were once traditional shiny ornaments now spray painted white. They look so Jonathan Adler. The base of the tree is a vase from West Elm. I want to know more. Please tell us more Jon. I love it! [images from Happy Mundane] Hey, here's a peak at his home. Beautiful.

hi elaine! thanks for the comments on my tree- Actually, I did not make the tree itself, only some of the ornaments. I got the tree on clearance a year or so ago from Macy's. It's from Dept. 56, and it was called a "tree in a box"- it's prelighted too (very convenient). I got it because I used to have another fake white tree, and it was such a pain to store and put away. This one literally falls into itself and ... goes right back in the box! here is a link to a better shot of a similar one.
Thanks so much for commenting Jon, I really appreciate it. I LOVE your tree. So that is a really interesting shape. And prelit! What could be better. I like your idea for the vase as the base. I simply can't get over all the effort and talent that went into this project. I am pleased to feature it!
