The weekend, briefly

Things are decidedly more Christmas-y around here.

I successfully made my favorite Christmas cookies. For the first time ever. I feel victorious.

    I absolutely adore that cushion in gold. Would you mind sharing your source? It's so holiday festive without being Santa-clausy, and I'm smitten!

    @ Meagan - The pillow is from West Elm and I've been eyeing it since before Thanksgiving. It's screen printed with this gorgeous gold ink and I kept wanting to find a way to DIY something similar, but short of an actual screen printer, I couldn't come up with a good way. So I gave in and purchased it.

    Hooray for being more Christmas-y! I finally hung our wreath, although my roomie and I decided not to get a tree, since we'll both be at our respective parents' houses anyways. But we did do lights and other little things around the place! We do a friends Christmas too, ours is this Friday. :) Love your tree topper!

    Pretty pictures, they feel so cozy!

    What are your fave cookies? Are they difficult to make? Was that what the oranges were for? I'm very intrigued!

    @ Em-Jae - The cookies are up today! They sound complicated, but are totally worth it, in my opinion.

    I like your glitter circle garland, and I have those same socks. Excellent.
