season's greetings

Are you all ready and shopped-out for the holidays? I'm glad I am done. I've only major wrapping to do.

I wanted to share these photo prints from labokoff called "Pole series" just because these are gorgeous...

And here is a great holiday playlist I found on dailycandy. Perfect to listen to while I deck the halls and make spirits bright!

• “Just like Christmas,” by Low
  (The gingerbread cookies are warm from the oven.)
• “The Christmas Song,” by The Raveonettes
  (Slow dancing under the mistletoe.)
• “Fairytale of New York,” by Stars
  (For drunkenly swinging mugs of eggnog into the wee hours.)
• “The First Song,” by Band of Horses
  (Sometimes you just want to wallow.)
• “The Blizzard,” by Camera Obscura
  (This lovely cover makes us sentimental about natural disasters.)
• “She Came Home for Christmas,” by Mew
  (A hauntingly beautiful song.)
• “Reindeer,” by The Knife
  (Did you expect any different from Karin Andersson?)
• “I Saw Three Ships,” by Sufjan Stevens
  (Perfect for the gift exchange.)
• “Candy Cane Children,” by The White Stripes
  (Only Jack White can make the holidays sound sexy.)
• “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight),” by The Ramones
  (Dedicated to the thorn in your side.)
• “Rock of Ages,” by Ben Kweller
  (For pops.)
• “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” by Death Cab for Cutie
  (A melancholy tune to tug at your heartstrings.)

Happy Christmas!

things i didn't know i wanted

Today I'm sharing random things I've come across that are cute, unusual, bizarre.

How many times have you wished there was a dislike button on Facebook? I know I wish for it 10 times a day. Well, here's the next best thing. This cool stamp (and it's regular "Like" counterpart) are available here.

I want these blocks. Mind you, I have babies no more, but aren't they awesome. Not your typical alphabet. Very design-y ;)

What do you think of these containers. They're oil drizzlers to be exact. I don't think you can use these for anthing other than liquids. They are from this site.

And if I had chickens, I would want to keep them in this nice and fancy (and green!) coop. Actually, chickens or no chickens, I would love to have this in the yard. The kiddies would love an egg-shaped playhouse. Ha! You can find out more via this site.

And just because its Tuesday, here is a tune I ♥ ♥ ♥:

tuesday?... tunes!

 Lately I've been listening to a lot of Bat for Lashes. I especially love the song B4L did with Beck for the Eclipse soundtrack. (That song is "Let's get Lost".) Check out the video for "Daniel" - one of my fav.

Did you see Florence and the Machine at the VMAs. She, also, has such a great voice. I guess you can figure out by these that I enjoy ethereal, feminine vocals. I do have a rougher, darker side too.... which I will disclose some other time. Ha ha ha ha ha (think wicked laugh).

What's in your iPod right now? Are your musical tastes all over the place or are you happy with a certain genre?
