Ooooooh, Curious Sofa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are few things prettier than Curious Sofa at the holidays!  And nothing better to inspire me and jump start the transition from Witches to Angels.  I know, Halloween barely cold in its grave at this point, but I'm all in gear to move on and start Christmassing it up!

And I just adore her whites.  Being there, surrounded by all the shades of ivory and silver was just what I needed as that extra boost for completing my projects for Romantic White Christmas, the online classes that Beth and I are teaching.

She is coming over today so we can get pictures done for our sign up page.  Which means, I'll be pulling out some of my Christmas decorations as backdrop for the photos.

Things have been so crazy busy around here, and on top of that, I've had a dreary cold.  So, my baby shower decorations are still up, along with the Halloween stuff. Its going to look like quite the holiday mash up when I start adding white Christmas to the mix.

Next week, some Bella Buds are flying in early for Silver Bella and visiting Kansas City for a couple days. I've invited them out to the cottage to dinner, and I sincerely hope that I can tame the run away holiday mess before then.  

I have a feeling that I might not.  But that won't stop me from enjoying my evening with them.  I'll tell them that its extra festive to be celebrating so many things at once, and throw some Silver Bella decorations on the Halloween, Christmas, and baby shower conglomeration to top it all off.

We'll take them all to Curious Sofa, and we'll visit Carol's farmhouse, too. So they won't  be under the impression that midwesterners have no sense when it comes to decorating. Carol and Debbie are the queens of understated glam decor.

My favorite thing at Curious Sofa was this set of plates that Debbie embellished.  She is so busy with the store, I doubt she gets much time to do artwork, and thats too bad. She creates beautiful things.

My other favorite thing that night? Well, my BFF, Beth, of course! She met me at the open house for the evening. It was nice to get out of the house and do something festive.  

I'd better get busy now, and set some things up for pictures today before Beth gets here.  Before I go, I have three winners to announce-

The Romantic Gothic Ghost giveaway from me goes to Janet Ghio.

The one from Beth goes to Samantha Miranda

And my October Giveaway is for Laurie

I'll have details about the Romantic White Christmas as well as my November Giveaway in my next post.

    White! Sparkly White! How happy you must be surrounded by it in that stylish setting. I could complain about being too busy with family, etc, to do any window shopping…but then I remember who I’m talking to. You are maxi-busy, with a smile. Sigh! Who can keep up?

    Hi Karla,
    I keep seeing fabulous stuff from you Midwestern types. I think you are just one of our best kept secrets….but word is getting out. I think I might go into Curious Sofa and never come out! I LOVE IT! Hey, I’m having a lovely giveaway of Carolyn Westbrook’s new book over at my blog and I’d love it if you’d pop over to check it out.
    Take care,
    Judy

    Oh, Karla, your pics of Curious Sofa are fabulous! I’m totally inspired by Debbie’s plate collages, and you know what happens when I see something and get inspired (or maybe you don’t), but anyway, I end up making a huge mess!!!! I hope you are feeling better soon,

    Curious Sofa does look to have a dreamy atmosphere. Made all the better by a best friend!
    I’m sure your Silver Bella buddies will love it and Carol’s and your homes.

    Karla,
    I am as green as you were in the previous post!
    You better take my butt there in May, I would also love an audience with the Queen herself. Maybe not, I’d make a fool of myself. Lisa
