Day 2 of our advent calendar activities took us to the Kirksville Arts Association to see their Holiday House Display. This event is a silent auction where wreaths and trees are raffled off as a fundraiser for the Arts Association. The building is beautiful year-round but I'm partial to the Christmasy flair of this event. Here are some of my favorite wreaths!
Brett and my boss Debi and I also went on the Holiday Home Tour hosted by the Rotary Club. I love, LOVE fancy houses and the voyeuristic side of me was totally satisfied to wander around people's homes. Look at these gorgeous trees.
This house had a loft style second floor that had their 3 daughter's bedrooms and it was a princess paradise. I was beside myself with envy.
Their master bathroom suite had statues by the tub. Statues.
Just for fun, I thought I'd give you a sneak peak of what I've been up to craft-wise. You'll see the full project in tomorrow's post!
Iain and I went to the holiday homes tour and I have to say, holiday homes tours are not my things. The houses were huge...the rooms were huge...I would not feel comfortable living in that sort of space at all. I wouldn't feel comfortable raising kids who have their own bathrooms and enormous bedrooms.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to be judgmental about their lifestyle, but I would not like it at all, and I didn't enjoy looking at it.
I liked the art display. I think the house with the statues by the tub also had little sculptures of real people that one of their ancestors had done in the 1930's-- that was really cool.
The first one was so huge and wide open. I really loved the second one because I felt like it was especially cozy and allowed itself to look "lived-in." The upstairs bedrooms were like everything I dreamed of as a child! I guess I turned out okay without one though!
