Getting ready in the gnome cottage for our first married hexmas while rain & thunder crashes outside – but we’re cozy by the fire! Boxes are packed and ready to ship for my family, prizes wrapped for his, our Hexmas Eve tea is coming together, the boughs trimmed from the tree have been turned into garlands – there are still stockings to make & things to be done, though – I want it to be the holidays forever!! & look – Nicole saw my post about not having real vintage icicles, and sent so much of it – vintage glittery German crepe paper icicles! So beautiful.
A handful of songs that feel wintery to me ~
Darker Sooner ~ Topaz Rags
Bind us All ~ Festival
Babylon ~ Mountain Man
Liight Liight Brizite ~ Stag Hare
Videte Miraculum ~ The Sixteen

It’s butter cookies – I did a quick search and found this: http://www.melandrose.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=11328 but um, they are NOT that much in shops. You could call here and see if they’d send you one: http://www.yelp.com/biz/pasta-shop-berkeley
Your Hexmas looks magical and lovely. Thank you for sharing this music. Some of it reminds of a group called Kitka that I discovered a while back. They used to have one of thier CDs available to listen to online. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season as newlyweds! I agree, I wish this season would last a very long while…
Blink and I’ll miss it…I’m leaving VT for Texas right after Hexmas (Texas Hexmas!) but I’m awful glad I’ll be here for it. It seems a little crazy to leave at all but it’s twinkly and snowy for now. The antlers on grey are so handsome!
I love all your Hexmas details. It’s so festive, magical, and pretty.
wow, that looks positively lovely! mind if I come over and curl up by your fire? I love how festive and cozy it is.
