Christmas!

Hope everyone had some lovely Holidays! I finally got a few days off together and it’s been wonderful! Today is my 3rd day off in a row and I finally feel like I’m rested!  

 

Christmas Eve was prime rib roast, potato cake, popovers, baked endive and a beautiful Nebbiolo.... we opened champagne when I got off work!

My son loves food thankfully! My husband is a chef. So big feasts are a huge part of all our holidays! I worked Christmas Eve Day at Favor and was busy until 5! It was a pleasant day with lots of really nice customers and lots of men, shopping last minute!

My tree! Looks like a ton of presents! It was actually, we wrapped everything! Socks, calendars, t-shirts, gloves, candy, wine, you name it!  

That big one there was Scully’s new dog bed. She stayed in it most of Christmas Day and night! 

My favorite presents were my espresso or Nespresso machine, which was a total surprise! The coffee is amazing! The steamed milk contraption is genius!

...And my button making machine! I spent most of Boxing Day making buttons like a teenager....

Most heartfelt was the presents my son got me, he went to Telegraph Ave for the day and had a $100 budget and really knocked it out of the park!

My arty buttons. I’m going to have fun with these at the shop!  

 

Hanging out with Scully was a huge part of my holiday! Here’s her with her new fox toy. (She’s wearing a bow tie).

Really lucky and thankful! Great stack of magazines and books to read. Good coffee. Good wine and food and lots of crafty things to do!  Tomorrow, back to work!
