Starting today we are taking a brief leave from the blogosphere and getting down to business. We will be spending the next weeks toiling away in the studio on our website, new product design, and custom orders. It shall be "a paper intensive" that will surely lead to some exciting things to share in the new year!

Until then, happy holidays! See you in twenty-eleven!!!

Looking forward to a weekend of holidays parties. TGIF.

newly {wed}nesday:: 'the stockings were hung'

First Christmases are a special time for newlyweds. Though this year isn't our first Christmas, it is the first time we are hosting the holiday at our home. The tree is trimmed, the lights are strung, but I feel there are still a few personal touches needed to make our family feel most welcome.

What's missing? Stockings! You know the kind, "Twas the night before Christmas,...The stockings were hung by the chimney with care." How inviting to walk in and see your name on a stocking hung along a mantle or bannister?!

If you're looking to add a personal touch to your holiday decor this year don't overlook the stockings. These handmade Christmas stockings by Martha Stewart would be fun to make, but how to choose? They are all so charming.

spell it out with garland

give them naming rights

reuse hankerchiefs or linens from your wedding or former holiday gatherings

More stocking ideas.

The Sunday Paper:: Let it snow!

This year the boy and I decided to change things up a bit for our holiday card. We built a photo booth in the studio using flannel fabric, felt garland, and snowflakes; pulled out our favorite winter caps; and, put on some tunes. It was silly and fun and by far our best holiday photo to date. It took us a few tries to get the timing right (I may have gotten a little too excited about the snow, lol), which lead to uncontrollable laughter and further sillyness, but that's what it's all about.

Below are a few takes from the shoot. Which one will make the card?! Well, you will just have to wait to see the fully designed card on Christmas Day {smile}.

c'est vendredi!
