A DAY IN THE LIFE....

....pics via my iphone....life through the lens on the go!

Last weekend was @Strollonstate in Rockford. THIS actually probably deserved a post of its own...that's how GOOD it is. Put on by the City of Rockford most events  are free - Like this Horse drawn wagon ride...

The city is lit up....

 The buildings are open for various activities - like Letters to Santa (you're never too old right?!?!)

 There are fireworks to kick the evening off

 This picture is so vintage to me...the old style street light embellished with greenery, Merry & Bright and the HOTEL in the background.

The river glows with the reflection of the lights of the city

 Free hot cocoa while you are waiting in line for Santa....

 A few items on my holiday list this year....

(Tis the season to sparkle bangle from .etsy.com/shop/raisinguprubies )

 AND this gorgeous Nutcracker ornament from Totally Tikaa (I just LOVE her...she is my spirit animal). Her ornaments are carried by Lenox and can be found here  https://www.lenox.com/category/totallytikaa

I put up this mini tree in the living room (across from the big tree because ya know, one tree just wasn't enough! LOL). I need to find the black top hat to finish it off.

 These ADORABLE mugs are from Dollar Tree...I saw them Mid November and wasn't going to get them (because there was LITERALLY an entire display end cap of them). So glad I got them because two days later they were ALL GONE.

 Retail detail. Loved this poncho with a plaid popped under for some holiday merriment!

What has YOUR week looked like?!?! I'd LOVE to see you fun holiday decor - leave me your link so I can check you out!
