As a bit of belated holiday cheer, Nesting blog has posted their top five finalists in their gingerbread house contest...and I'm one of them! That's right - you can go check out my gingerbread creation right here. D and I collaborated on it and it is very (very) loosely based on the floor plan of Case Study 22, one of my favorite Los Angeles houses.
And in real life, D surprised me with tickets to see Gillian Welch and David Rawlings tonight! Her voice makes me shiver and his guitar playing is insanely good. If you aren't already in love with them, I highly recommend this CD to start.
what fabulous features these are, rach! though you completely deserved to win first prize, it was so fun to see the other top contestants. congratulations and i can't wait to hear a review about tonight's concert! xo
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, look at that gingerbread house! Everything I said was so true - it's amazing! I think you should definitely win as your house is totally original - I've never seen one like that.
ReplyDeleteOOOH congratulations! i love your modernist gingerbread. so much more interesting right? no audience voting? this is tragic.
ReplyDeletehave fun at the concert tonight!

ReplyDeleteI loved reading your interview Rachel! And when I saw my blog on your list, I started blushing! Thank you for making my day Rach!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I totally think that your gingerbread house wins - hands down! That is the first and only modern gingerbread house I have seen, and it totally rocks the entire competition.
