My finals are now finished! Thank you to everyone who sent thoughts and prayers. This was such a difficult semester for me and I can’t tell you how much your words of encouragement meant to me. Ready for some eye candy? A bit of pom pom for Friday Freebie.
Back in November when I was in L.A. I popped into one of my favorite stores, Pom Pom Interiors.
A bit of pom pom for Friday Freebie
They were decorated for Christmas and it was so lovely. Pretty shell ornaments, glittery Eiffel towers, and all sort of other bobbles and bits.
I absolutely adored the mercury candlesticks in a bright aqua shade.
The table in their seaside room was all beachy bliss. The shell chandelier was so pretty.
The bougainvillea in the courtyard was so lush and beautiful!
One chair for me, one chair for you.
Ok, I didn’t exactly select a chair for you, but I did pick up a few pretty things. Although my camera can’t quite seem to catch their sparkle, trust me, they are pretty.
Also, do you remember the journals I made here? I’ve been creating some miniature books that are so adorable and I have one extra that I will also send to the winner.
Congratulations on finishing your semester. I’m a pretty new reader so I don’t know what you are studying or what education goal you are trying to reach.I really enjoyed your pictures.I hope that you can get some mental rest now that your class is over.
I’m glad that we have met through Heather’s blogparty. I did enjoy your post and even have a chance to win such a lovely notebook! Fingers crossed!Have a nice weekend!
What beautiful pictures! My niece has a Christmas tree each year that she decorates in silver ornaments. Yours are so pretty. Congrats on finishing the semester. Hopefully you can rest a bit during the holidays.
How beautiful those are. And you are so talented.I wish I was good with my hands but Im so clumsy- and impatient. What a lift off the shoulders to be done with finals- now you can really enjoy Christmas.I look forward to going to that store next time I visit my daughters in LA. Have a wonderful weekend. Its starting to snow here..
All adorable one! Very pretty family. Beautiful photos. Merry Christmas!
What a pretty store. Glad to hear you’ve finished your semester. Now you can relax a little!Lorrie
Congrats! What a gorgeous store!
Yay for you and your finished finals!Thanks for the pics of Pom Pom. I live too close to all the great design & decor shops in the LA area to have so many on my list that I haven't yet visited. I think “more field trips” will be high on my list of 2009 resolutions. After all, being legitimately in the ID biz again, it's “necessary” that I do lots more “research” now, right?Happy Friday to you!
Yay for you and your finished finals!Thanks for the pics of Pom Pom. And the reminder that I live too close to all the great design & decor shops in the LA area to still have so many on my list that I haven't yet visited. I'll put “more field trips” on my resolutions list. Especially now that I'm legitimately back in the ID biz. It's absolutely “necessary” that I do lots more “research”, right?Happy Friday to you!
Yay for finals being over! Hope you did well.Seriously, I want to go with you on one of your adventures sometime! You find the most amazing places.
So glad to hear that you are finished with school! The ornaments are beautiful. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.*hugs*
I am glad you are thru with all you finals. I hate tests! And jurys (that is what photographers have to go thru) and such. Always makes me nervous. Love the photo tour. May not ever make it to CA and always enjoy looking at photos there and especially of the eye candy inside the stores. Please include me in your lovely GiveAWay! Have a great weekend and Merry Christmas!
Oh no! How embarrassing! I got distracted, thought something went wrong with my first comment attempt and ended up sending two! AND disqualified myself for your drawing by breaking the “one comment” rule! 🙁 I definitely have “Christmas brain” today 🙂
