Local Trunk Show

This past weekend Chris and I were apart of a holiday

trunk show, located at one of my favorite downtown

boutiques, Stripe.  It was great exposure, and even 

better getting to know other local designers within

our community.  

In case you missed the show...

Our latest business cards, magnified.

The Alibi had chalkboards, shadow boxes, picture frames, succulent boxes, and more- 

all for sale at the trunk show for a wholesale price.  We still have a few pieces left 

in stock if you're looking for the perfect {and creatively crafted local} gift!

The star of the show and the only star in my sky...
Christopher Curtis.

Great art, amazing crafts, innovative ideas, good people, fabulous conversations, support for our local community, holiday cheer, hot coco, spiced cider... this was truly an event you didn't want to miss!  

But if you did, I hope you enjoyed the photos, and make sure to come next year.  

Until then, The Alibi will continue to 

grow expand cultivate develop sprout flourish strengthen...

Holidays at Terrace

Tis' the season.
I've posted a few pictures of the holiday decorations
Chris and I put up the other night.  Maybe it'll inspire
some festive interior creations of your own!

There is nothing like stockings hanging

over the fireplace to bring Christmas

into your home ...and I'm a huge sucker 

for the old-fashioned-from-a-magazine look :)

The letters are from Pottery Barn and the lace was 

a vintage little touch~

We had left over glass ornaments that I couldn't bring myself to packing away, 

so I filled up old mason jars and placed them on our mantel for some added decoration.

The perfect string of adornment for our tree was a gift I received in the mail
from a friend in San Francisco.  Ten foot tiny little map cutouts for our tree
{my wanderlust is always surfacing somehow}!

Our finished driftmas tree!  

This year we wanted to create something instead of buying a tree, 

and were inspired by an image found.  We felt so proud of the turnout!  

We leave the lights on all day and all night to enjoy every last bit of our tree~

Collections

Weekends are for collecting...

And our flea market finds from this weekend

sent me into a happy daze:

We found he most beautiful dark teal antique ball jars

and

A piece I've been coveting for some time now,

an antique Mexican sarape- I'm in  l  o  v  e  e  e  !

Shout out to Figaro, my main subject of the photo.  Mew.

Forever extending my collection of seaglass, I always stop to stoop 

over the sand of the south side beaches when Chris and I take Olive for runs.  

These were the treasures I found.  Hard to see the color, but I was SO excited 

to uncover a rare piece of RED seaglass, shown in the middle left side of the image.

My seaglass in a bottle sits on our windowsill and collects sunlight, 

bringing in colorful light greens and browns to our home.
