it's christmas season, but you wouldn't know it at our house! maybe it's because we move around so much, or maybe because if we're anywhere in the u.s., we spend the holidays in big D... or maybe we're just a couple of scrooges... but k&i don't really do christmas decorations. in fact, we don't do them at all. we own no ornaments, no garlands, no holiday dishes... our stockings were a sympathy gift from jenny p, meant to get us through our first lonely christmas in paris. we still use them, though right now i think they're wrapped around the two bottles of wine we brought home with us this summer.
one year i made a star out of tin foil and taped it over a mess of eucalyptus - that was our "tree" (i think charlie brown would have approved) - but the next year i couldn't even be bothered to do that (ugh, foil. it rips too easily).
this year... well, i don't know... i've been thinking that i should maybe step it up a bit. no tree, obviously, but we have a mantle... maybe some greenery? i found a few plastic sputnik ornaments on etsy... those might be fun on the coffee table. maybe a candle?
then, lo and behold, i stop by one of my regular design blogs to find that the very talented bryn dunn (a fellow dallasite) of bryn alexandra is hosting a holiday giveaway! she's offering a host of lovely things, including a red burlap throw pillow (burlap!? what an unexpected and delightful fabric to choose for a holiday pillow!). go check out her site, and leave a comment to enter the giveaway.
but if you win, can i have the pillow? (shameless, i know).
