Friday Favorites, vol. 40: Happy Christmas!

I love to say that because it makes me sound so British.

1. the sound of champagne corks popping





BONUS: coupe champagne glasses (also known as goblets or saucers-- they're the ones that Holly Golightly uses in Breakfast at Tiffany's)





2. this Christmas tree (which we realized we put together wrong, in case you notice that it's a tad uneven here. Don't worry-- we've since fixed it. I blame champagne?)



3. winter white





BONUS: this movie, one of my favorite guilty-pleasure chick-flicks-- just in time for Christmas! Add it to the list below.

4. Christmas movie marathons
We may or may not have watched each and every one of these in the last week.









5. nutcrackers





BONUS: The Nutcracker





BONUS BONUS: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

Merry Christmas, everyone!

(said in a Tiny Tim accent)

It's been an amazing year! We feel so lucky to have had such a fantastic year in our photography ventures, so many fun memories with wonderful friends and most of all, each other. Some things are the same for us this holiday (like watching Christmas movies, seeing friends and partaking of delicious food.) Some things are a bit different, like our unconventional Christmas tree.

Sending you lots of love and wishes of wonder and joy this Christmas.


And a Happy New Year!

Do you know about Pinterest?

My lovely and talented cousin-in-law Julie and her hubs (Nathan's cousin, Jason) visited us all last week and we had such a marvelous time. We ate some amazing, delicious food, hung out and chatted, shopped, and had a spontaneous Just Dance tournament. Julie is a graphic designer and has fab taste. She introduced me to Pinterest, and now I'm just a tad obsessed.



It's like eye candy! And while I'm still a huge fan of Weheartit, I find that Pinterest is more clever in that you can categorize the photos. i.e. home, design, photography, style, etc.



If you're not yet on Pinterest, leave a comment below with your email address and I'll send you an invite to join! It's totally free and purely wonderful.
If you ARE on Pinterest, be sure to add me as a friend (I'm "theamyshow") so I can enjoy all your boards, as well.
Happy Pinning!
