In the mood for Christmas...

3rd Advent - delayed :D

I was so busy last weekend, I completely forgot to share these... Some more photos from holiday atmosphere around here :) And a sneak peek of our beautiful christmas tree :) I'll show you next Sunday :D 

table decoration I made with real pine branches, cinnamon, dried oranges and some other decorations 

 cute as always... my sister :D  

foxes are a big deal in our family right now :D 

Name day

Today is my name day - Lucie. This day is not celebrated in the Czech republic, but there are other countries where they hold traditional light parades. Of course i get some gifts for the name day, usually some money and chocolate or a book. This year I got Dan Brown's new book (which is really awesome so far!) and my favorite cpt. Morgan with a glass and a headscarf :)  And my sister gave me the cutest plush fox :)

I'm going to celebrate this year by lighting some candles and possibly staying up all night to protect myself from the evil female demon Lussi that in some countries is believed to lead her followers to something similar of a Wild hunt. You can read more about St.Lucia's day traditions on Wiki

CHEERS

No mercy

Yesterday I went for a shopping trip with my boyfriend and some friends. It turned to be more eating trip, because my companions were all boys so our first stop was McDonalds :D and we got one gift for my boyfriend's brother. And this t-shirt for me :) it's from the mens section of New Yorker. I gave it my usual treatment (snipping of the hemline and neckline, shortening sleeves and rolling all the hems :) now I'm thinking I'd like to add silver studs between the leopard frame and the white frame but I'm not sure how the studs would hold up in the washing mashine... I need to try on the piece I snipped of :) 

I absolutely love it :P

St.Nicolas

St. Nicolas came to our house and brought some presents :) 

Only kids usually get stuff for St. Nicolas day, but our mommy is so sweet she keeps giving us little gifts even now :) I got shower peeling with Dead Sea minerals, hand-warming satchet and little box with mints saying Guess where I am tattooed :D :D :D cool

1st Advent Sunday

With the first Advent Sunday, it's time to start sharing our decor and Christmas inspired DIY :) I'm not making any decorations in advance, I just make whatever Mom asks me to or what I think would look nice in our home. That's the reason why I'm not sharing any DIYs now, because I don't have any yet :D For today I want to show you the pictures of our first decoration hung - the staircase leading to our apartment.

those two huge planters were on the balcony, maybe you remember them from this summer post. Mom and I brought them inside so they won't freeze over. Same with the small flower pots. And we decided to decorate them too :) I spend all morning doing this and the stairs :) I was wearing my Santa hat all the time and the neigbors passing around asked me for presents :D
