A perfect description by Truman Capote. True. I feel like December's a mix of rum and dried fruits&nuts. Intoxicating, festive and some slices you just want to spit. The cool winds arrived late, the parties ending early. Numbing and entertaining at the same time. One of the main things I love though is redecorating the house. All in all I grabbed all the fixtures in less than two hours. Sort of like winning in a two-minute supermarket spree. This year, I went simple, clean, and classic with the furnishings. A lot of whites, browns and uncomplicated accents. Also, I went for a crisp-orientalia feel, hints of old-china prints from the table runner and Buddha figurines. I'm so close into buying a skull-print dress. It's so pretty, but i'm giving it a day or two, Marilyn Manson, go away. I'm channeling my inner-goth with a spiked bag, embellished shoes and long-back cardigan.
In honor of my yearly ritual, i'm ending this with
Counting Crows-Long December line- Maybe this year will be better than the last.
Happy New Year!:)

Giant candle cages. I've yet to find the perfect shabby bird cage. |

Vanilla, Spiced Pumpkin, Lavender and Dewberry. Ahhh..home. I cannot think of better words than of Gwyneth's: The air changes. You are home, yet it feels different. I really love it. |

Store-bought moss and pine cones for added rustic touches. |
