I love these ideas! The book trees are just genius! I was drawn in by the gingerbread house hanging on the edge of the mug. Soo cute!
Thanks for sharing!

The bookcase tree and the ornament-stairwell-kid-trap will have me smiling all weekend.

Love this. Esp. the gingerbread house and those crazy ornament stairs. Sorta Christmas @ Grey Gardens. I'm thinking a little nog, Maker's Mark, and nutmeg in that mug; sitting at the base of those stairs, singing Christmas carols with Big & Little Edie.
Hi there!

I saw the gingerbread house cup topper just last night. So funny... I stumbled on it by accident... on Not Martha. It's cute... are you planning on making one yourself?

stephanie, thank you for giving the source of that photo. I think I found it on Swiss Miss a few years ago. Sparkie, totally. I'm there with you wearing an old vintage fur, languidly laying on the last few chairs, gesticulating with 'nog in hand.

Oh Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. Perfect cozy winter image. It makes me miss the snow... as it is my very first Christmas on my own in Santa Monica- 70 degrees and lights on the palm trees. I'm still loving the season...

Thank you! xo
