a new felt bunny

Over the years I am sure you have noticed my interest in 🐰,so it will no surprise that I made a few more.

This little one is my latest, so cute!

And she lives in the land of mushrooms 🍄, another obsession.

All in felt, except for the collar of the robe:

a little bit of strawberry 🍓 fabric!

Notice the functional pocket?!

The pattern is from Ricrac, from their Easter bundle.

 Underneath, she wears a embroidered felt night gown,

and some pompom sleepers, of course!

I of course painted my wood mushrooms to match her outfit,

the large one is an ornament that I purchased at Lucketts last Christmas.

Hoppy Bunny!

trip to Lucketts Christmas house 2021

This year again we went to the Lucketts Christmas Design House!And just like last year, we had to buy tickets,but it was quite worth it:we went just after Thanksgiving,and it finally put me in the mood to decorate the house....which is happening slowly.

As usual, there were great wall papers, beautiful décor,

and perfect accessories!

I am a huge blue room person so this blue deer paper was so good!

And so was this moody bedroom:

A lot more masculine feel than most of the house,great blues and green with cold accent.
I have seen lately a lot of people using dried orange slices,but I like the use of the whole orange with cloves

it makes me want to try to do something like that too!

There were of course a lot of beautifully decorated trees,

like this one with more pastel colors:

Every room has its tree, and fireplace/mantel perfectly decorated:

those metal trees were very neat, lot of debates about bringing some home!

I really enjoyed this bedroom, very girly and pinky,

quite different from my style,

but so lovely!

It seems so soft and plushy, and that wallpaper!

There were also more traditional red and green decor,

with a lot of white added.

While the rooms are all perfectly decorated,there are a couple of vignettes that are just perfect,like this stylist deer (love deer!)and this little votive holder with the chalet scene:

So what did I bring home?a golden squirrel holding an acorn(I have quite a collection of squirrel, deer and mushroom,there are worse things! 😜)an old fashion blue Santawho is going to be on the mantel,and a beautiful scarf (present for a friend)
but more importantlyI came home in much better spirit,ready to play with ornaments, wreathsand light!

Happy Day!

the annual Lucketts Christmas trip to the design house

With all of these year challenges, I was not quite sure

we were going to be able to go to Lucketts to the Christmas design house,

but as soon as the tickets were for sale,

I purchased some for our favorite time to go,

just after Thanksgiving.

And it was the perfect escape!

I even matched the décor, and so did my mask,

there were few people, everybody wore masks,

we were given our own shopping bag so we felt quite comfortable,

and at the end, we even had a glass of Champagne,

it felt quite VIP! 😉

Onto the house, I took many pics but if you want to see it better for yourself,

I would recommend their Instagram feed with all the videos!

The outside was very festive, and as soon as you entered, it was grand!

I loved the unusual color of rust and burgundy,

and the beautiful ribbons and bows...

The snow room was also fun,

with textures and polar bears everywhere:

There were also so many different Christmas trees,

all richly decorated

and with their own theme, coordinating with their room.

No décor would be perfect without some dogs,

and the 2 black dog rooms were just that: perfect!

My favorite parts were these papier mache heads of deer and bunny,

the fun look of animal without the killing part!

I was very tempted to bring one home....

I also really liked the edelweiss felt garland, quite unique.

Here is the few things I brought back:

3 very heavy mushrooms (I have a thing for mushrooms!),

a squirrel on an acorn (I also have a thing for both of them!)

a 2D metal sleight

and 2 small little bowls:

(quite reasonable!)

After this trip, I was able to start working on my Christmas décor,

that I shared last week.

Early Spring trip to Lucketts

Spring still feels like it is far away, but I am so ready for some more sunshine and warmer weather. I recently visited one of my favorite places: the design house at Lucketts.

All the green, white, black and woodtone felt so "springy",

and fresh.

But the house was still in winter mode in the bedrooms

with warm textile and layers.

An unexpected part of this visit, as I have been here a few times,

was the South West vibes in a couple places:

Having spent a decade there, I always have a soft spot for some South West details,

nature and National Parks like the Arches poster!

There were also some great potteries that I had a hard time resisting, but Miss C. is making so many great ceramics in art, I did not want to create some competition!

Overall, it was a great show house,

and I am even more eager for Spring!

Happy Day!
