FELINE FESTIVITIES

Too early to start thinking about Christmas? Definitely.
Too early to start collecting cat-themed Christmas decorations? NEVER.

Get 'em while you still can, right here.

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

So, only a few more hours untill we say goodbye to Twenty-Ten (oh boy I liked 2010, kind of bummed it's over really)! I had some super great times with friends & family, at school, lovely holidays... Yes, 2010 has some wonderful memories for me, I don't know if my favourite moments were meeting all those lovely new people, trips here & there & everywhere, seeing LOTS of music concerts, discovering new artists/designers I like etc. Best year so far? Yes, maybe. Probably. Oh who knows what the future might bring!

Since the days between Christmas & New Year are a bit of a blur anyway, I'll show you some of the Christmas pics I took last week. And as always, there's more where these came from, chech out the rest of them on Flickr!


Happy 2011 to each and every one of you, enjoy the party & thanks for the great year!






My mom got these funny looking stick figures (can I call them like that?) at IKEA acutally, there were different designs but I noticed I only took pictures of this one.





Yes, that is a Quality Street wrapper. A good meal should always end with a Quality Street.

ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 24/25

DAY 24+25 - BE MERRY!

It's a 2-in-1 to finish off this Advent Calendar. Christmas Eve and Christmas day... What a wonderful celebration, don't you think? I hope you all spent a nice holiday with your family and friends, had some great food (I think I had a bit too much honestly), maybe a few nice gifts here and there, who knows!

Lot's of love and holiday cheer! XO




NOW LISTEN TO THIS - MAYER HAWTHORNE//IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME

Wonderful interpretation of Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas by Mayer Hawthorne!

COUNTDOWN

One of my favourite shops is COS (as a matter of fact, I'm wearing a COS dress right now!) and I just realised I haven't made a single post about them on my entire blog! Shame on me...
Anyway, counting down to Christmas, COS asked a few of their friends to create DIY ideas -perfect for giveaways- which they will be sharing on a daily basis until Christmas. Maybe some kind of modern day Advent Calender? I like it.



The countdown started exactly a week ago and so far, this is my favourite:

Ball chain bracelet by Tove Christensen






You need: 18cm ball chain (hardware shop), 125 cm nylon string (haberdashery shop), scissors

1. Knot the string onto the ball chain, leave a piece of string before the first knot.
2. Tie one knot between each ball, make sure you tie the knot the same way every time.
3. Cut the string to approximately 8cm at each end.
4. Voilà - tie on wrist.

Easy stuff, right? I'll be visiting my local hardware store for some ball chain, that's for sure.

Visit the COS website for more ideas!
