Obsessed: Emerald Green

Did you have a good Thanksgiving?  We sure did.  Ours was really nice and very low-key.  The turkey (my first ever) turned out really delicious - not dry at all, yay!  And there was gravy...oh sweet mama, the gravy.  It was epic.  No joke. 

Ridiculously good gravy is all about making your own stock from the neck and giblets.  It was so easy and undeniably the best thing about the entire dinner.  If you're curious, I used this recipe.

So now that Thanksgiving is over, I guess we're supposed to gear up towards Christmas?  Ugh, I can't even deal.  I love everything about it (except the shopping and guilt) but only for about a week before the actual freaking holiday.

I especially love all the green - emerald green that is.  If it happens to be velvet, all the better in my book!

Well now Scarlet, that's all well and good but I actually a little something more like this in mind:

 These sofas are so pretty, super sophisticated yet completely nap-able!

Where there is velvet, there is often tufting and me likey!

If an entire sofa is too much emerald velvet-ness for you, perhaps just an accent chair or two is more your speed?

Or in pillows and window treatments:

I'm also loving emerald green when used in fashion:
