a little late for 2011 but totally early for Christmas 2012

i just saw these.  i'm a little mad at myself for letting these gorgeous ornaments escape me this freshly past christmas.  but i'm super excited to hang them on the tree in 12 short months.  in fact, i think i want nothing but these on the tree, only these little showstoppers.

all other ornaments will be redirected other places. 

Amethyst and Citrine Ornaments

love the Amethyst but adore the quartz...

Quartz Crystal Ornaments

they would look just as pretty hanging from a sconce or chandelier or off a vanity or wherever you can imagine really.

pretty FUN things

i have to admit to loving this for all the wrong reasons.  yes, i am all for peace, but what i really like are the gold dots and the impact of this dish.  i see it so many different places - not just at the table, but on a vanity with bottles of perfume, hung on the wall, as a catch all for the entryway....  good for the holidays or for a shot of 70's glam.

(there is also an understated version of this for a peace loving minimalist)

while i'm in the holiday kinda mood (strange since it is almost 70degrees here today), might as well post this (it's the right side of the photo we are focusing on)

wine bottle accessories

the fur stole is cracking me up.  drinking in style has taken on a whole new meaning.  what a fun way to bring a bottle of wine over during the holidays (or champagne on New Years).   yes, the santa is cute too, but the fur is the winner here.

stocking style

have a design obsessed friend?
