welcome december

#1 i can't believe it's already december, but since i feel that at the beginning of every month these days... let's move on


i brought in december by jumping on the holiday train and stopping by 4 different holiday themed things after work.


*i checked out the new lightscapes on state street
*checked out macy's windows, which are beautiful... as usual
this year it's about wishes, etc. while thinking about ornaments
cute cute cute

*i stopped by igo's holiday party
*then headed to one of a kind show at merchandise mart.  i got free admission.  (it's only december 1-4)  it's huge and all kinds of different art creations by hundreds of different artists.  i didn't even come close to covering it all, but i still really enjoyed it.  it was hopping.  
i really enjoyed the etsy corner.  if you can't make it to the show this week and you're looking for handmade gifts i highly recommend etsy.  i love it.


here's one stand i thought was super cute:  megan lee designs.  and i realized they sell their stuff at one of my favorite card places:  inkling.  she has some pretty fun graphic tees.

so hello december.  
thank you for arriving rather mild.  i was quite comfortable walking around in my light winter jacket, gloves, toms without socks....
