i just fell in love with these images blogger emma lamb put together (below) into a lovely mosaic and added to the sfgirlbybay flickr pool. just some crisp, clean and oh so stylish wintery decor. and, read more about this pretty garland she crocheted (above) on emma lamb’s blog, or find more of emma’s beautiful work in her etsy shop. this is my kind of fresh holiday decor! thanks for adding it emma!
