Getting into the (Victorian) Christmas Spirit

We spent most of our weekend in West End Atlanta at our favorite house museum, The Wren's Nest. Saturday we helped decorate the house for Christmas. Don't believe me? Well, here's proof. And here's what we were doing Sunday:



We spent a good bit of our time in the kitchen making sure there was a continuous supply of hot cider, hot chocolate and coffee for the visitors and, uh, taste testing the cake, cookies, mini cheese biscuits and chicken fingers.

Here we are in the kitchen (apologies for our overly-earnest poses - all that eating dulled our desire to pose fashionably). Lauren is pointing out the bust of Mr. Harris himself placed regally atop the fridge. Note: fridge and Christmas dish towels not original to the house. Come to think of it, the whole kitchen is not original to the house.

Outfit details: Lar is wearing a jacket and boots from Tarjay and Cheap Monday jeans. I'm wearing a H&M coat, J.Crew sweater, Blank jeans from Rockit and thrifted boots.

Up next on our to do list: decorate our own apartment for Christmas. Time to bring out our aluminum tree!

The Wren's Nest amphitheatre

Atlanta, GA 30310
MAP

Why:
Oh- so many reasons!
1) Dancing your pants off (literally- if you want to!) to the big band music of Kingsized
2) The Food. Taqueria del Sol is catering this feast- reason enough to be the first in line.
3) The money goes to The Wren's Nest. Don't know what that is or why you should care? Go here and here.
4) We'll be there! Not an inducement? How about the best margaritas in the world (I'm not exaggerating)?!

So, are you guys coming?
You can buy tickets here (hit the donate button) or just call 404-753-7735 (these folks are super-friendly on the phone and never let it ring more than once. Serious. Just try it).
