December Favorites ~ 2021

Good Morning,

I feel like I am the only person on the planet who has not taken down their Christmas tree. All of my friends have shared that they have already taken down their trees but then I was reminded that I have 3. That’s completely different. I will be leaving the office early on Thursday to get started on taking them down. I did order a new flocked tree! I am so excited. Every time I order a new tree I donate an old one. I am also going to be adding some new decor. I want more ribbon and some velvet bows for my trees next year. I will be getting those ordered here soon.

Okay time to share my favorites list for December. I can’t believe it’s the last week of 2021!

Okay, I could not help it! I had to get these and I have no regrets! They are gorgeous in person. I love them so much. The fabric is so rich and sophisticated. It is a timeless shoe seriously! I hope Tory continues with these kinds of designs! I wish I could get this fabric on one of her totes! 

 

 

 

The second is my chinoiserie-inspired scarf. I shared it on the blog here. I believe it is still sold out but I would keep an eye on the website if you are interested!

 

 

Third is my Christmas cactus. It begin to bloom in late November and then by early December I had this. It turned out so wonderful this year. My old supervisor gave this to me in 2016. It was the smallest little plant and I am so proud that I have been able to grow it to this size. I hope that I can continue to keep it alive.

Fourth is my beautiful Nutcracker! I found her while grocery shopping. I saw the hair and thought, oh my she looks very similar to me. I think she is gorgeous and is a wonderful addition to my Nutcracker collection! 

 

 

 

The fifth has been the poinsettia that I had in our bedroom. It added such a Christmas feel and was a beautiful arrangement to have. I would recommend you get one for your bedroom next time!

Sixth has been this year’s wrapping paper. I love the colors and the velvet ribbon that I used. It looked so sophisticated. 

 

 

And the last is my new Van Gogh Irises picture frame that I picked up at the Newfields Museum after my tour of the Lilly Manor. Once I saw it I knew that it would be a great addition to my office!

 

 

Okay, I almost forgot this! I don’t know how I have not seen this on Youtube! This movie was directed by Karl Lagerfeld and was released on Youtube in 2013! If you are a Chanel fan you will enjoy this immensely. It is only 30 minutes but is deliciously elegant! 

Oh, one more. I found so many wonderful things to watch on Youtube this month! I found this wonderful Youtuber to follow. Her channel is AMAZING! She lives in Paris and takes you on her brocante flea market excursions and she recently toured the Ritz Hotel in Paris. Oh, magnifique! 

 

I binged watched her channel after Christmas! It was wonderful!

Well, that does it for my December favorites and the end of 2021! Goodness, the years are going by too fast. The boutique does have a new plus-size arrival. The Flora Ruffle Blouse is available for purchase! I am so happy to finally have a plus-size blouse for the boutique finally! I do hope that you all are enjoying the boutique. We will see how year 2 goes!

    Hi Mrs. Shockley,

    Everything on your favorites list is quite beautiful as always. You have impeccable taste in everything. You have the air mystery for sure. You’re one of those woman that I look to and wonder, “How does she do everything she does beautifully?”. I mean everything! Lol..

    I placed a red poinsettia in our master bedroom too. This was my first time and we loved it. I take down all my Christmas decor on the 27th typically. I do leave my wreath up on my front door for the winter. And I am with you, on the exhaustion. I look forward to the holiday season. However, by the end of it, I’m so exhausted and ready to move on so I take my decor down pretty early.

    Happy New Year to you and your family,

    Mya

      Hi Mya,
      You are too gracious with your comments. Thank you so much! It is hard taking everything down but it does help you to move forward and look toward the new year. You had a poinsettia as well? How great! I think they are wonderful in the bedroom. I hope you and your family have a wonderful new year and that you stay well during your work days.
