Our beautiful daughter-in-law’s beautiful table. Merry Christmakuh.

Isn’t this the most wonderful room?! It is the inimitable Podge Bune’s old Amagansette living room I wrote about years ago in @housebeautiful and rediscovered in @susannasalk ‘s fab new book #itsthelittlethings.

What is the deal with people thinking it’s ok to put their feet on public furniture?! Airport lounges and plane/train seats in particular. Oh the joys of travel. #getyourdamnfeetoffthefurniture #itsnotyourhouse #rude!

A dense marine layer (I think?Help me fellow SYVrs) coming over the mountains at sunset made me stop the car. #theridehome #rancholazaca #foxencanyon #losolivos #santaynezvalley #santabarbarawinecountry #centralcoast

Everyone should have a Christmas armadillo. Actually an incense burner – very We Three Kings – of Mexican silver. Mercury glass trees are Pottery Barn relics if memory serves…

The purity and organic simplicity of the late 19th C Arts and Crafts Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco, one of the earliest examples of A and C architecture in the city and the only church there that is a National Landmark. Also the site of a lovely wedding of dear friends this weekend. #swedenborgianchurch #sanfrancisco #artsandcraftsarchitecture #sacredspaces

A Christmas palette! Clever idea @ornamento ‘s beautiful shop in the Fairmont, San Francisco. #ornamento

Beautiful and festive, to celebrate dear friends.

Ruh-roh poor Santa is stuck in the chimney of the biggest gingerbread house in the world. Hotel Fairmont, San Francisco.

Love these funky birdhouses with old Victrola style record player “speakers” as rooves. Made by Ludmil Marcov and more info via Lynda Flynn 805-548-1880. Saw them recently at a flea mkt in Buellton organized by @danadicroce

A handful of Christmases, a decade and some, in the blink of an eye. My nieces and nephew all grown up. Regram from @ruthfuqua
