CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK

last year tenthousandthings went to Scotland for Christmas...but this year, I'm sticking with New York.


A simple wreath for the apartment door...


lots of candles for the fireplace...


chalkboard painted walls for notes...


paper lanterns, candles, and piles of oranges...


a Christmas tree-turned-chandelier...


and lots of oversized gold ornaments.
