Bring On The Holiday Decor & gift Shopping!

 I love shopping for friends and family for the holiday season. The only holiday I decorate for is christmas. Who could resist such shiny treasures. Each year I find a few new treasures. I first fell in love this year with the blue ones since this is the new color way for my tree. I must say I am pretty pumped to put two trees up this year.


Then I felt like maybe I should buy the red ones since I am going to be putting up a second tree this year. A-w-e-s-o-m-e!!!! When I got to the car I felt like I should have bought the silver as well but left anyways. The next day I went back for silver. They only had seven left, I bought them all. Yes you would be right in assuming, I do have a christmas decor obsession.

18 KARAT Is Back…

I remember the time when I heard 18 KARAT was going out of business. I was shocked that after 21 years of business and now no more. This was devastating to me and I’m sure it was for so many others too. I went on a mad shopping spree at my local neighborhood store. Sure 18 KARAT’s price point is a bit high, but anything that is beautiful and made of quality is worth it. I believe if you love something, then it is worth it. Who doesn’t love to come home to a home they absolutely love.

You would be surprised how much is hand made and no two item’s will be the exact same. Also almost each piece they create has a story behind it. That is one of my favorite things about 18 KARAT. Welcome back I can not wait to shop the new collection. Too bad they won’t be ready for christmas. My only season I go all out. Here are some photo’s I found of 18 Karat’s holiday last year.






















How about that marble, the beautiful blue tones, the paintings and the holiday decor, Wasn’t it amazing? I think that collection 20 was one of the best collections 18 KARAT has put out. I just wish I would have bought more pieces. I am ready for more, bring it on!
Check 18 KARAT out and watch for the new collection in January 2012.
