Through the looking glass...extravagant Magnolia blooms fashioned of crystals, rhinestones, sequins, silk velvet and organza in an Amsterdam shop window.
Faux ponsettias rival the real thing in beauty.

These glittery faux versions are much prettier to me than the real thing. I'm loving the photos of Nepal interspersed with European Christmas pics - it's never boring on your blog!

What does that mean in Dutch?
I'm saving one of these photos, too.
I'll have you know, my folder is getting puffy.

Ohhhh, how beautiful. I didn't think magnolias could be any more stunning than they are, but the glittery versions up top are heartbreaking. I say, too, shine on!

I have been absolutely craving silver glitter aesthetic, blame the season, I suppose. How wonderful that you've done this fantastic photo essay on just that! We could all use a little sparkle in our lives, no?
