New year means time for change. One of the first changes we made was painting our dining room wall and “reconnecting” our Heywood-Wakefield room divider. Previously the lower half served as our entertainment center and the upper half as a bookshelf in our guest room. I also decided why not decorate for Valentine’s Day a little early? 💘 I chose to use some mildly unconventional items as decor this year, including a love letters record featuring one of my fav actors, David Niven, a gorgeous Florence Ceramics lady and vintage romance comics. Do you make big changes with the new year? Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Year! And yes, this is my NYE outfit. I’ve become obsessed with pajamas lately thanks to this pandemic. I’ve been kinda quiet lately on social media for a lot of reasons. But mostly because Patrick and I have been making and planning for a lot of changes around the house. You can see a sneak peek and read about some of those changes on the blog. ✨ Link in stories and bio.

From Patrick and myself, wishing you all a very merry Christmas! 🎄 We once again tried to incorporate CW into our Christmas photo, but he wasn’t having any of it. Swipe for outtakes! As per tradition where I wear the same dress, and Patrick’s outfit changes, his sweater is from @bobbakermarionettes ! Which if you live in Southern California and haven’t been… are you even living!?

BLOGGED! I have a bit of a vintage ephemera problem. Vintage Christmas cards are some of my favorite things. Each one is a mini work of art and each year I try to share a small sampling of my collection and you can see the latest edition on the blog! 🎄 Link in bio and stories!

BLOGGED! The annual Christmas decoration post! 🎄 Link in bio and in stories! Also can you believe Christmas is only ten days away!) 😱

My Christmas decor post (slated for tomorrow) focu

My Christmas decor post (slated for tomorrow) focuses on the living and dining rooms, as well as the kitchen. But Christmas has also found it’s way into the bedroom in a few spots. As the bedroom has a light western motif I keep with western Christmas elements, which for me also includes hillbillies. I’ve always had a soft spot for Paul Webb’s illustrated and ceramic hillbilly works and loved when I found this bizarre Christmas card poster from Snowden Chemical Company. I got it a few years ago but finally got around to having it custom framed for the bedroom this year.

Finally made it to Alpine Village in Torrance! After threatened with demolition a few years ago @laconservancy fought to save it and now it’s a historic landmark!

Love vintage aluminum Christmas trees? Then you must add the latest book on aluminum trees, Starlite by Revlis: A Senational Revelation, from the same author as The Evergleam Book, to your collection! You can read my review of it on the blog (link in stories and bio) and check out @revlisbook to see more and buy it!

🎶Reindeers are better than people. 🎶 🦌 Go

🎶Reindeers are better than people. 🎶 🦌 Got to visit my children during the @bobbakermarionettes book launch! Did you know you can adopt puppets?! Yes! Patrick and I adopted Rudolph and @thevintagedarling , @tinyteacupvintage and I adopted the Reindeer Brothers together. Your adoption lasts one year and while you don’t get to take the puppet home (they have shows to do!) you do get to visit with them when you are at the theater. Your donation goes toward the maintenance of the puppet to keep them in working order so they can continue to delight those who come to the magical world of the Bob Baker Marionette Theater! Adopt a puppet for yourself or makes for a great gift! Visit the theater’s website for details!

Yesterday I picked up what may be my new favorite Christmas decoration. This vintage ceramic reindeer is sadly unmarked but is too darn adorable for it to matter. Now… where to put her. 🤔 Planning on photographing the house tomorrow for the blog. So stay tuned! #vintagechristmas #kitschmas

We recently visited the sleek new bar inside and I was overjoyed to revisit this gorgeous building for the first time since high school! See more on the blog! Link in bio and stories!

While I love a good Midcentury Modern, I am always

While I love a good Midcentury Modern, I am always floored by Victorian homes. I nearly wept when I saw this tragedy the other day when in Ontario. I tried to Google what happened and what its future is but didn’t have any luck! 😭 Any Ontario locals know? It’s at 151 S. Vine (according to Google Maps) a few blocks from the main drag of Euclid. I’m so in love with it I hope it’s saved! #deserve2preserve #ontariocalifornia #historichomes
