My Christmas shtuff...

This year I wasn't sure if I wanted to share with you, what gifts I received for Christmas. I know some of you see it as bragging, but I always love seeing what other people wanted and received. I'm fairly hard to shop for. I'm one of those people that if I see something I REALLY want, I'll find a way to buy it myself, even if that means saving up for a few months to do so.

The #1 thing I wanted was another pair of steampunk boots. I wanted them so much that I told my husband, I'd be fine it that was the only thing I got. He got them!

 These are now the coolest boots I own! :-) 

 I've been wanting the Alice game since it came out this year. I could have bought it at any point, but I knew my husband was wanting to get it for me. I don't write in diaries, but my husband got this as it has a bunch of Alphonse Mucha art work inside. Which is my fav!

 

This last gift was a huge surprise! Since I'm all about makeup, Jason was looking for months for an antique powder compact. I had no idea! This compact is 90 years old, is sterling silver, has a sterling silver chain wrist strap, a mirror and MEM engraved on the front. OK so those aren't quite my initials, but it's close. My first name is Emily, my last name starts with an M and everyone calls me Em or just M. My husband sometimes calls me "My exquisite M" so that's why the MEM worked out. :-)  Such a sweet and thoughtful gift! I cleaned it and added a MAC pressed face powder to it so that I can use it. :-)  But haven't taken pictures of the MAC powder in it.
 
 
 


Play time is over and I must get back to work! Hope everyone had a great Holiday!

    First...those boots are all kinds of awesome! Second, it was a Mucha Christmas - I got a really great print to add to my (small) collection. And that compact is perfect - especially with the MEM. They may not be your initials but it fits perfectly. Jason did good!

    The boots are super hot, and I <3 the Mucha diary and vintage compact.

    My gifts this year were cash and gift cards, so I was able to order several books, a backup for my Too Faced powder foundation, and a 10-pan palette from Inglot. If you ever get a chance to try any of Inglot's products, I highly recommend them. :)

    Shoes. Ohmygod. Shoes.

    Seriously, those are the most awesome shoes I have EVER seen.

    The compact, however, is the sweetest gift. That was quite a find on your husband's part!

    I'm glad to have found your blog. We same to have the same taste in.... well, everything. :)

    Those are some of the coolest boots I've ever seen. And Mucha is one of my favorite artists too. I do a lot of my work in his style.... Fake being an original artist until you can make it. :P

    Excuse me while I drool all over your boots! My friend and I were gushing over this awesome pair we found in an alt store the other day, but those are possibly even cooler.

    After Lisa Eldridge did her vintage makeup series I became so interested in old school makeup. I went to a vintage fair and just about died at all the old compacts they had! The seller was rude and thought I was a child that was going to break everything so I didn't buy anything though >:(

    OOh lovely boots! damn i cant wear heel arches like that much anymore..wish i could as i'd LOVE those boots for my steampunk (steamgoth more so....no browns lol) outfits
    The compact is beautiful too, such a thoughtful gift.

    I got a fantastic gravity fed dual airbrush from my partner which will be fantastic for my costume makeups.my partner's mum, bless her got me a makeup brush set in a nice brush roll. The brushes werent that great in all, just a few i'd use, but the roll is fantastic hehe.
