Library Chandelier

I love napkins with designs on them. Makes me not want to use them though. I think they look better on the wall than on the table next to the food.

Anthropologie catalogs are quite lovely, yet difficult to get a hold of in my experience. I fill out that order form again and again only to get one measly catalog sent to me per year. Maybe they know I don't buy anything. Oh well.

Ah, Victorian decor and libraries. Something I enjoy in pictures, but not in my apartment, not any more, at least. I am someone that tends to get tumbled in with history and old stuff, so I have to stay clear of the antiques and gilded chandeliers for awhile as I am in grandma-taste recovery. As of late, I am looking into a more futuristic setting for my lifestyle. But still, I find some comfort in looking at pictures of old houses and furniture. Reminds me of my Nana.

Castles and Christmas Trees

I bought a white artificial Christmas tree a few years ago and I love it so much I usually leave it up way beyond Christmas season. I break down sometime in March or April with the reason being, that it won't be as special for next Christmas if I leave it up so long. But this year, I'm re-thinking this scenario. Why not leave a Christmas tree up all year? I love the lamps and other decoration in my home all year long and don't get sick of them. Christmas lights and trees are very cozy to me. Hmmm... I'll keep thinking about this.
Disney in Paris by The Cherry Blossom Girl
Cinderella's Castle at Disney World in Florida
Disney's Castles look very similar to Christmas trees. Maybe I could build a miniature castle out of cardboard to place around the tree this year.
