Home stretch. We’re in it. I’m mailed my last package. The holiday cards are mailed. And, I’m at the point where I really just want to curl up in front of a crackling fire with a great book or the latest magazine and just savor the season.
If you are still searching for the perfect gift…I’ve got it. A custom watercolor illustration by my friend, Patricia van Essche, otherwise known as pve. Give a gift certificate for a pet portrait, a family portrait, a home portrait, a favorite vacation spot, a custom monogram. If you can dream it, Patricia can draw it.
Patricia’s work surrounds me. I have it framed and hanging above my desk. Framed and on my desk. Framed and in my bedroom. Stationery created from a custom monogram. There’s a joy and celebration in her work and it makes me happy just to see it.
Stay warm. Stay calm. Stay merry! I’ll see you in 2014. I think it’s going to be a great year!
Hi Elizabeth..so hard to believe Christmas is next week! I have a chock full day of things to do to get ready for our family party tomorrow night, and for our out of town guests and lets not even talk about my Christmas cards (still on the kitchen counter) and stacks of gifts to wrap! You are ahead of me….but today hopefully will get lots done. Wishing you a wonderful peaceful holiday with your family!! All the best, Merry Christmas!
Enjoy! Merry Christmas Elizabeth!

HI Elizabeth, Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thank you so much for another year of your wonderful blog, filled with ideas, information and overall just beautiful pictures which brighten my day. I think I have told you I have 2 cavaliers, so some of my favorite posts are those of your beautiful dog, always nice to see another CKCS lover. Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas, Elizabeth! I couldn't agree more, Patricia's work captures so much joy and magic.
I'm so glad you are taking time to relax and enjoy the holidays with your family. I hope it's wonderful!
Looking forward to "chatting" more in 2014! XOXO
What a gracious and festive way to greet your holiday guests. Beautifully decorated! Merry Christmas, Elizabeth!!
Warm greetings for a joyful season!
