Holiday Card Part 5: 2011 & Happy Holidays!

December 23, 2011 — 8 Comments

So here is it for those who were waiting patiently….

I would like to wish everyone a joyous holiday season!

 

If you are one of my family member and you haven’t received our card yet, they are in the mail (really!).

For this year’s card we decided to move everyone around the scene. And since Mr. S. & I still prefer the blocks to our kids it only seemed fitting that we should be playing with them.

The colorful blocks are the Alexander Girard Alphabet Blocks by House Industries. These were one of the first things we bought for Sam (even before he was born). They are a little pointy on the corners so they only come out on special occasions. They have carved letters, hand silk screens puzzle and letters. Plus one side has the beautiful carved suns on it (one of the things Alexander Girard is most famous for).

      Thanks Martha! Hopefully you got your copy in the mail yesterday. Sam is so funny, he likes getting dressed up all “snazzy” and posing.

    I LOVE THIS CARD! (just clicked over from YHL)

    I looked back at your other Holiday Cards, and I must say, they’re adorable! Is it a running joke that your husband is wearing the same pants in every one of them? I think it’s hilarious! (I assume it’s intentional and not coincidence)

      Hi Amanda,

      Thanks and Welcome! Those are Mr. S’s unofficial holiday pants. You can usually find him in those pants several times over the holidays. He tends to vary his cardigans (from his vast collection). Sam prefers to dress like his dad, although this year he wanted to look like Dr. Who. I always wear an apron (either his Grandmother’s old one or one that I picked up at Anthropologie a few years ago on sale).

    […] I have included a few of my favorite images from the book. I highly recommend picking lugging it up! It is quite a pricey book, but I think it is worth it since it will be such a major source of inspiration for years to come. If you decide to order it, shop around. I found it discounted from the retail $200 price to $120 on Amazon. House Industries also created a series of fonts based on his designs (and the blocks in this year’s holiday card). […]
