Polyvore

"Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow..."
                   ~Bill Morgan Jr.

   Yet another hectic week with little room to pause - I'm sorry I haven't posted sooner! It was twenty below yesterday and the day before making the arrival of Winter official! My Mum, Nana, and I went to a Christmas market on friday evening and had a fabulous time wandering around the different stalls looking at Christmas-y things and buying presents. Christmas is definitely coming! The decorations have started to come out of their carefully packed boxes and soon there will be a flurry of Christmas photos for you to see! I have also started playing with pinterest and have added a button in the side bar if you would like to see the boards I have created from all of the beautiful photos out there! (I'm sure that a great many of you will recognize some). Another site I have been having some fun with in spare moments is Polyvore! I opened an account there and have been creating beautiful "sets" or collages as I like to call them. If you don't know about Polyvore it is a site where you can compile photos of products and people, magazine and web articles into your own makeshift pieces of art - almost like ads. Clicking on the individual pictures in Polyvore will take you to the shops or original sites where the items can be purchased. I have filled my collages with things that I think are beautiful, styles, actresses, singers, and pretty things that caught my eye. If you want to see them in Polyvore just search Jennelise! Have fun!
 (The titles of these sets in order are Sparkle, Gilded Age, Silver and Gold, A Romantic Life, Ladylike, Lovely, Fairytale, Pretty in Pink, and Everything Nice)

  1. Hi Jenny!
    Are you serious 20 below? If that harkens the beginning of winter for you, I'd sure hate to experience what flat out coldest winter would be! Getting a zero temp here is incredibly cold and rarely ever happens.
    Thanks for the HU on polyvore. I had heard of it but never really knew what it was. Your collages are beautiful!
    Anyhoo I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! ...Oh and I'm your newest follower on pinterest. Vanna

  2. WOW!! Polyvore looks so neat, I have heard of it but have never tried it. I love your collages! I just love your style ~ It's still nice here in Texas - we had some rain, but really it's still staying in the 70's..so really nice weather! It does not feel like the Holidays without freezing cold and snow...Hope you have a great week!
