I can appreciate the atmospheric quality of <a href="http://www.emilywinfieldmartin.com/portfolio.html" target="_blank"><i><b>Emily Winfield Martin's illustrations</b></i></a>. She has a great shop ( you may recognize her as <a href="http://www.emilywinfieldmartin.com/portfolio.html" target="_blank"><i><b>The Black Apple </b></i></a>)... might want to hop over there and peruse for a while.

I couldn't choose just one of these books for this week's pick, so I thought I'd cover all bases by making this a mini Holiday gift guide, if you're into that. Such cool coffee table books, don't you think? I imagine I'd crack out my hot cocoa to sip on while flipping through these bad boys... <br />

At this very moment I'm beginning to feel sleepy from a rather intense week. But I'm about to head out to join friends for a festive music shindig downtown. Think fifteen people on stage playing upright bass, drums, guitar, accordion, and on and on. It'll be fun. And tomorrow night... more holiday action. I will be pleasantly exhausted come Monday morning, I'm sure.<br />

Sometimes I dream about wrapping gifts for a living. Or not even for a living... just wrapping gifts for the fun of it, all the time. (But how cool would it be to make a living off it? I want that.)</div>

Anyhow, it's gettin' to that time when I buy gifts for the sole purpose of getting to decorate them all pretty-like, like these...</div>

Those who have known me for quite some time know I'm a fan of Black Russians. But now that I'm vegetarian and no longer vegan, I'm kind of craving a White Russian. And, holy god, how about this White Russian with some cinnamon and sugar?! Sounds delicious, don't you think?<br />

This weekend I'm finally gonna get around to adding some pretty festive touches around my home. I like to keep it simple... splays of greenery, pops of luminous color, reflecting light. Anything that will make me want to plop down on my sofa and daydream; that's the goal.<br />
<br />
When I was growing up, my brother Stephen and I used to hang out in the living room by the glowing tree, make up funny stories, play music, read books, and stare off into the sparkling lights feeling calm and thankful and excited for the warmth inside while the snow fell outside. I do miss New England Christmases. But I'll be sipping hot cocoa, popping on some records, and filling this little home with a little more nostalgia.<br />
<br />
I'm also heading out for a dinner party tonight with talented and sweet friends and after having a most uplifting night with more artistically inspiring and insanely hilarious friends last night, I feel full of all good things.<br />
<br />
So how about some neat links gathered this week from around the web? Just for you...<br />

Contrary to what some might assume, given my propensity for wearing black, I do not typically decorate the home with much black (or red, for that matter). But maybe it's the Wintery feeling that's making me kind of love these black home accents... <br />

I'll be prettifying my home with Holiday cheer this weekend. I'm looking forward to an equally festive and totally relaxing Christmas this year. Needing some wind down time in my cozy nook of a home. It'll be nice to surround myself with the quiet of flickering candles, music, and a soft blanket. Adding some sparkle is a given.<br />
<br />
Aren't these paper feathers great?<br />

Pretty sure I've referred to this book on here before but it's seriously worth another mention, especially under the <i>Ultimate Guide to Books</i> series. It's such a worthy one. The author has a keen knack for pulling the most compelling story from each person he photographs. Thing is, sometimes it's just a one sentence response and in that we are privy to stunning insight into a human we've never seen before now or met before. The interconnectedness is overwhelmingly beautiful.<br />

p.s. I've had to close down the comments because, for whatever reason, some of yours just aren't being published- even if I open it up to the option that makes it easier for spammers. Such a bummer. BUT... you can still share via the social media icons, contact me on email, and follow me over on Instagram. Good? Hugs all around, friends!</div>

I had a good amount of momentum going with designs this week, including prepping the Holiday collection (launching very soon!); plus I managed to get some writing done. Catching up slowly but surely...<br />
This weekend, I'm meeting friends for cocktails and conversation (my favorite) and am also thinking of throwing a New Year's Eve party- so I'll be working on concepts for that, too. Exciting!<br />
<br />
In the meantime, some fun links gathered for you...<br />

I don't think I've ever done a post on anything tech related but, man, I want this so bad. I miss photo albums and I want to start doing them again. I'd love to be able to look back on this time in my life, years from now, and feel much of it all over again. It's been a trip. So this will be my next project. I'm kind of excited about it.<br />
<br />
Do any of you keep photo albums anymore? I'd love ideas!<br />
<br />
p.s. I've also used <a href="https://www.artifactuprising.com/photo-books/print-photobooks-from-instagram"><i><b>Artifact Uprising</b></i></a> for the photographs from my <a href="http://www.catherinemasi.blogspot.com/search/label/elizabeth%20messina"><i><b>Elizabeth Messina shoot</b></i></a> and would use them for their <a href="https://www.artifactuprising.com/photo-books/print-photobooks-from-instagram"><i><b>Instagram friendly albums</b></i></a> (they're beautifully done, by the way). <br />

What are you up to this weekend? I've got way too much going on, so it'll be a matter of pacing myself so I'm not tired out come Monday morning's start to a new work week. I've also been gathering and donating clothes and excess stuff from my home. Needing this clearing out in a really big way.<br />
But I sent out sample designs to kick the S/S 2015 line into production, so I'm feeling giddy about that. It's been a loooooong process. The trick is to ride the movement of the process without creating resistance and without freaking out that things aren't playing out according to initial plans. I'm glad I waited it out, though. These final designs are much tighter and lovelier than what I started with, so there's that. Can't wait to show you as they are developed (... <a href="http://instagram.com/p/vZI4g4yWYB/?modal=true" target="_blank"><i><b>here's a peek over on my instagram</b></i></a>)<br />

I've gone a little nutty with gold these days. I'll straight up admit to it. For most of my life, it was silver silver silver. But then... BAM. Gold. It's glowy and luminous and a lot like sunshine. Though I'm not a supporter of mining (the gold in my shop is vintage or antique sourced). So instead, I like to play around with achieving the color itself. Which is why I'm enjoying this <a href="http://www.thehousethatlarsbuilt.com/2014/11/gold-leaf-planters.html" target="_blank"><i><b>gold leaf planter DIY</b></i></a> (via <a href="http://www.thehousethatlarsbuilt.com/2014/11/gold-leaf-planters.html" target="_blank"><i><b>the house that lars built</b></i></a>). Click on over to see more examples of the possibilities. Lovely.</div>

(Pay attention, Cath.) I often feel as though I need to take quantum leaps, especially at this stage in my life when I'm just trying to get stuff in place, and especially when everything (and I mean <i>everything</i>...) feels like it's in limbo. All the variables seem overwhelming and hard to direct. But I guess that's the problem. I'm trying to make sense of things that maybe there's no way of fully understanding yet. So I wait. So I focus on what is exactly in front of me and go from there. So I enjoy the moments, the friends, the resources, and the work. I will begin again from where I am.<br />
