'Tis the Season

'Tis the season for a little more Christmas. Happy Hump day, all!

I shot this story with my friend Heather Cameron and sister-in-law/sometime assistant, Kate Keeler. It's the 110 year old home of Colleen, owner of a shop called Roses and Rutabagas.  The full story is in the "100+ Favourite Holiday Ideas" - a special issue of Style At Home.

One of the things I like best about my job, is seeing all kinds of different Christmas decor. I love seeing everyone's take on the season. What's your holiday style?

Have a great day! Back soon.

Not quite Rockefeller, but we did have Elvis

Elvis Costello that is. Elvis and his wife, Diana Krall, were the special guests at the Amacon Christmas tree lighting celebration at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Unfortunately, their mission was only to push the big red button, to switch on the lights, not to do a festive duet. In just it's 3rd year, it doesn't quite have the panache, or the countless superstars, that Rockefeller has, but it's a start. 

Now, back to Elvis. I adore Elvis Costello, and have grown to be o.k with his wife, Nanaimo BC native, Diana Krall. She did look pretty last night. I was only about 12 feet away from them, so I took lots of pics. Please allow me to show you a number of them!

To Mise of Pretty Far West: Since I was in a sparkly mood after the tree lighting (and Elvis), I decided to go by a couple of the houses, from my last post, to show you what they look like all lit up. Enjoy! I think I prefer them in the light of day, all exposed and self conscious.
