I can't describe how much fun it was to have a full day off with Mr. Larson. We cleaned and decorated our little home together, listened to records, went grocery shopping and decorated our tree! It was sublime. Above is our vintage pom-pom tree decorated with tiny vintage doll dresses (what are collections for?) and my treasured skunkboy fawn (thank you, Katie!).
Thanks for peeking at our cozy holiday home. I'll be sure to share a peek at our new breakfast nook soon too! We're making peppermint hot chocolate tonight. Magic.... XO. elsie
So pretty! I love the doll dress tree - great idea! :)

Your tree reminds me of the book "one hundred dresses" my mother read me when I was younger, Love it!

Ahh :) I'm stuck on My Maudlin Career right now. Thanks for sharing a peek at your precious tiny dress collection. Why is it that women melt when it comes to collections of tiny things?

Hi Elsie! I've been following your blog and I L-O-V-E it! Very excited for you and Mr. Larson and I can't stop staring at those miniature gingerbread houses! :) Where did you get your record player? I want to get one for my husband for Christmas but not sure of the best place to look!

Ahhhh, I love the tree. I am gathering up material to make a white feathered tree myself.

That is the CUTEST idea ever for a little tree. I think I need to borrow this for my sewing room! I have sooo many Blythe dresses that just suit packed in my doll case! Thanks for sharing!! xo!

The doll dresses are adorable as ornaments! When I was a kid every year my grandma would give us a new set of doll ornaments to hang from the tree. The dolls were almost barbie size and they hung from their neck so it eventually got pretty creepy. Maybe I should just use their dresses! Thanks for the idea :)
