Can you even believe that Christmas is in sixteen days? Two weeks! Exciting... and a little bit scary. Time flies. The holiday season always makes me feel so blessed because I've got lots of fun happening between now and the 25th, starting with two Christmas parties tomorrow! Lots to do, but lots of fun to be had as well. Luckily there's not much shopping left for me... I'm pretty proud of myself, it's December 9th and I'm about 80% done with my Christmas shopping!

Kate, Courtney and me last summer in San Francisco

Yesterday, my sweet friend Courtney had me over to his blog, Courtney Out Loud. Courtney has a fabulous eye for detail (have you seen his tablescapes??!), so I was honored when he asked me to share the details of my favorite vignette from my house with his readers. Can you guess what it is? Head on over to his blog and read the article!
