Hope you all had a great weekend. I started some of my holiday decorating this weekend. With Covid numbers higher than ever it is hard to even think about holiday cheer but I am trying!
 |
| I started with some sweet decor for my office area. My little cherub pen holder needed a crown! |
 |
| My sweet friend Linda from Life and Linda sent me this pretty Mannequin angel that belong to her mom. We both just recently lost our mom's. I always admired Linda's mannequin angel and after her mom died she sent me her mom's angel mannequin. It is a duplicate of the one she has. I will always treasure this sweet angel first because Linda thought of me and how I loved hers and because she wanted me to have her mom's. |
 |
| I put this sweet mannequin angel in my office. Makes me smile everyday. I did bling her up just a little bit. I added lights and a crown. All beautiful angels need a crown right?! |
 |
| Her crown matched her beautiful necklace. |
 |
| I loved the feather wings that Linda sent along with this beautiful mannequin. |
 |
| She has sweet ornaments attached to her pretty tree dress. |
 |
| I added some pretty white lights. All angels need to shine. |
 |
| This is where my design assistant Buddy and I spend the majority of our days. You can see his office area under my desk! With Covid numbers keeping us home I felt I needed a little Christmas cheer in my office area. With Linda's help gifting this beautiful mannequin angel I have a cute Christmas space in my office. Have you started your Holiday decor? I am working on my tree and mantel next. Hope to show you that soon. Have a great start to the new week. |

Awl, Kris what a sweet post. How thoughtful of Linda to gift you that cherished item.
ReplyDeleteYour office is so lovely. I'd spend my days and nights there too! I love Buddy's office chair. ♥ Looks pretty danged comfy!
Had hubs bring up my Christmas bins today - I brought up what isn't binned a few days ago slowly starting my holiday transformation.....your pics certainly inspired me to do so!
Big hugs!
Kris, my Mom's angel looks fabulous in your office. I love the crown you added. Now, I have to find one for my sweet angel. The lights are lovely. With both of us losing our Moms this year, I know you are smiling because of the cherished memories. xo
ReplyDeleteVery Sweet, Kris. I love decor that has meaning besides being picked off a Big Box store shelf. And, well, I'm starting decorating for the dolls, lol. We are so in a vacuum whether we will have Thanksgiving...I'll cook and deliver and throw it out the car door window...maybe, lol. Hugs, Sandi
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift from your friend, especially since it belonged to her mom. You've made your office space so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started decorating for Christmas and am not in the holiday spirit at all. I'll probably start sometime after Thanksgiving.
Gorgeous. Your angel is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and wonderful that Linda thought of you for the angel, it's absolutely precious and "looks" just like you! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet friend you have to send you her mom's Christmas manequin. The wings and crown you added are so pretty. Such a special gift.....

Kris, I love the mannequin. She looks just beautiful in your office and what a sweet, sweet gesture from Linda. What a fabulously gift in a perfect new home. xxoo
ReplyDeleteGood morning my friend. First of all, how lovely of Linda to send you her mother's angel; I am sorry to hear she too has lost her mother and how are you coping?
ReplyDeleteThere are no words to describe the pain each one of us feels at some degree after this year. I think we all need to unleash our angels to make this holiday season extraordinary under extraordinary circumstances. Your space is gorgeous and yes, I've started. Maybe I should just share what little I have on my blog.
I love your mannequin angel tree! What a sweet and thoughtful gift! I haven't started yet...going to get through Thanksgiving first but I'm already planning!
ReplyDeleteOh Kris, I love your angel and yes she looks so pretty with her crown.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful kind surprise from Linda. I know you will cherish your new gift.
Reeses is my office assistant. Peanut loves the couch too much.
Hugs,
Cindy
How sweet of Linda to share something of her Mom's. I love how you made the tree the bottom of her dress! Don't think I'd have thought of that.

SOOOOOOOOOOOCute
ReplyDeleteYour office is so cute! Very sweet of Linda to share her mom's angel with you. Where did you find the tiny crowns? A Instagram lady I follow from England has a nice crown on her she shed. We all need a crown (or two)! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the way you enhanced the angel gifted to you, Kris. What a generous heart Linda has. Enjoy the season!! xo
ReplyDeleteThat's a real sweet angel! I remember when Linda got those. Your desk looks cozy and I'm sure your assistant thinks so too!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sweet angel! I remember when Linda got those. Your office looks cozy and I'm sure your assistant thinks so too!
ReplyDeleteYour office space is lovely Kris. I do love how you decorated with a memory.. I like to do the same. Much of my Christmas decorating has a special meaning to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteLove you,
Carla
How beautiful and sweet is your angel gift! We haven't started decorating yet but I sure could use some light and sparkle in my office. Your office looks so beautiful and elegantly decorated for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful of Linda to gift you with the angel. It looks just beautiful on your desk. I know it's so hard with lock down and I hope you stay safe Kris. Enjoy the week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous angel! And putting that crown on your little cherub makes me want to look at all my old costume jewelry and see what I can come up with. I used to decorate a small tree with them. I'll have to ask my two design assistants what they think and remind them that if Buddy can help that they should!
ReplyDeleteI am crying reading this. Linda is the sweetest, most thoughtful person! I just love her! Your angel is perfect for your office....she is definitely you, and Linda knew what she was doing when she sent it to you! I love all the little details about your office. I even like Buddy's work space!
ReplyDeleteKris, what a beautiful space. I mostly love your mannequin, what a sweet gift from the heart. I’m so sorry about your Mom, I lost mine a few years ago and I miss her Every day xo Lidy
ReplyDeleteNow ...that Angel Tree is beautiful!!! What a sweet and perfect gift. Blessings to you and your Family as you celebrate the Season, as I know it will be a different Christmas for you all. Your assistant is just precious, and will be helpful to you each day with sweet hugs and kisses. :0) .. I love all of the crowns in your decor..so perfect. We all deserve crowns for being positive in this time, and your posts are always that!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteKris, that is SO sweet and the sentiment you and Linda share is priceless. Enjoy your angel and the beautiful lights. I'm like you, trying to think holiday cheer.
ReplyDeleteKris, what a wonderful and thoughtful gift from Linda. It is a beautiful addition to your pretty office. Always look forward to your beautiful Christmases in your sweet cottages..Stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, Kris. Isn't Linda just an angel on earth herself? She is one of the kindest people I know and/or have met in blogland. What a special gift from her!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to start decorating for Christmas now that I have our trim work all painted. The new windows aren't coming until December 7th now..but I am going to decorate before that!!!!
Have a great night- xo Diana
Kris, I am loving those adorable little crowns. They just made your pen holder and the mannequin shine. How very sweet of Linda. She is a kind person. Like you the covid virus is a heavy load. It is weighing me down, or at least my spirits. I pray for it to be controlled soon. Blessings to all of your family, stay safe. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteKris it is all very beautiful, and what a lovely kind lay Linda is - but then so are you! Hugs Gilly x
