blissful inspiration
happy thursday! in case you didn’t realize it, the holidays are upon us. typically, at this point i have taken all i can due to the ridiculous amount of saturation all around me. although, within the last 4 years my attitude has changed a bit. I have been viewing this time of year through the eyes of my little boy. he has helped to reinsert the magic. i also find viewing the holiday season through the lenses of some of my favorites help. everyone’s interpretation is different and beautifully unexpected, not at all in your face. i appreciate the subtle, beautiful interpretations.
i hope all of you are finding beautiful quiet moments this time of year. if not, i hope these beautiful images are a peaceful reminder.
[many thanks to weekly guest blogger mrs. french. be sure & visit her on her blog, bliss, and her etsy shop blissful images.]




















































beautiful, subtle and calm collection, lovely… :)
just beautiful mrs. french! thank you so much for such a gorgeous collection! xo, victoria
lovely pictures – and a great reminder that as things get hectic trying to get everything done for the holidays to remember to enjoy it too! i always start feeling crazed about now!
thank you for such a sweet roundup, mrs. french! I wish I could hang up all of these photos in our place for the holidays.
Lovely photos, they bring up all the feelings that we dream about during holidays… My silly question: are they really polaroids?
I was feeling a little bah humbug but these have really put me in a great Christmas spirit. The images are so peaceful and inviting. Lovely. Thank you.
Georgia, I’d say a lot of those aren’t Polaroids but the one by manda (me) is and I’m pretty sure danske’s would be too. :)
Wow! Love them both! Thanks for sharing them!
such loveliness each one…the feeling is calm..artistic…nothing gaudy…thank you…
Oooh… I love Stephanie CB’s shot!
Beautiful!

thanks for including me! such a lovely collection of holiday images.
Thanks for the reminder to slow down and just enjoy the season! I sometimes get caught up in the doing and forget what this holiday is really all about! (I love the deer photo!)
Funny, I recognized the “Life, Love, Paper” location right away. It’s a bottle tree outside the gift store I worked in after high school. I love FlyPaper (that’s the name of the store)!
what a perfectly wonderful collection, and by many of my favorite photographers too :)
Lovely images, Happy holidays!
