I am thrilled to share that Decor Steals is  sharing my acorn wreath today! I bought a pair of these back in the fall and loved adding it to my decor. If you missed the fall tour you can view it HERE I love the simplicity and natural look of this acorn wreath. And yes they are real acorns and leaves! Right now I have my evergreen wreaths out but after Christmas these will be making there way back out. These will look beautiful with my winter decor! Today Decor Steals is selling these as part of the deal of the day! You can click Here to view it. And I also wanted to thank Kim from Savvy Southern Style for featuring my Christmas tour.

I just shared these sweet little word cards and thought they would look cute as a holiday word tree. These were found recently at a local shop Tattered-tiques You may have  gotten a sneak peek at them on my post A Simple Holiday table setting. As I said before I am going to have lots of fun with these cards! I clipped these word cards onto these twig branches using vintage silver clip on candle holders. My first idea was to hang these using twine,but then I would have had to make a hole in each of  the cards and I really did not want to do that. These cards slip right on and the branches help keep them in place. After Christmas I may leave this up with the winter card and some of the other cards I bought,like shabby,chic,and farmhouse. Don't you love simple ideas! Don't ... View Post

I am thrilled to be a part of The Scoop Handmade Christmas! I recently shared my home Christmas tour part 1 and part 2 But I did not share this wreath I made to hang in my living room. This may come as a surprise but I am really not a crafty person. I don't always come up with ideas on making crafts. When I was volunteering at my daughters school for parties, I was the Mom that was there to help but had no creative ideas! This year I was thinking of making a peppermint candy wreath again this year. It is pretty and fun to make but I wanted something a little different,but with the same look. This is a very easy project. I used a 10 inch white styrofoam wreath. You can use any size wreath but I would recommend white,it is very forgiving if you have some spaces in between the ...

When I set a table I like to keep it simple,So today I thought I would share how I set a simple holiday table setting. Just for fun I set my farmhouse table in my kitchen. I am using my pretty Homer Laughlin dish set I found months ago at a thrift shop. The pattern is called Chateau. I placed a lace table cloth down the center that is folded in half. This works much better on this long table,and is little more informal. Just for fun I added that chippy pink scale to the center of the table and place my fresh flowers on top. I found those vintage looking flash cards at Tattered-tiques a local shop. They have a great selection and I picked up quite a few. I will be sharing more of these soon! Then I added some fresh greens and a few vintage pink ornaments to my tablescape. I ... View Post

Are you ready for part 2 of my Christmas home tour? Very recently I was the lucky winner of Angel wings courtesy of Decor Steals. Debating on where to put them I decided to add them to my family room wall behind my sofa. I did like my vignette I had on the wall,but I have had it the same for several years. My first idea was to add my screen vertical  with a wing on each side,and use another oval mirror I had. But after taking a photo of it I did not like the way it looked. Yes I do take photos of changes I make. When you take a photo of a room that you just changed , you will get another pair of eyes. Many times when something looks great to my eyes visually,after taking a photo it will look much different. That mirror was above my mantle,and again although I liked the way it ... View Post

Welcome to my Christmas home tour part 1 ! I decided to share it in two parts because although I decorated simply,I have lots to share. Are you ready? Well grab a cup coffee,tea or hot coco and lets begin! First I want to  tell you that I am so glad you could join me,and I am thrilled to be a part of Jennifer Rizzo's party! Let's start out in my living room. Just like last year I am keeping my decor simple. I don't like little knick knacks all over my house especially at Christmas time. So I carefully choose what I want out. I needed a new tree this year and I was lucky to find this one at a thrift store. I love a tree at night! The lights glow and it looks so magical. I tried making a tree skirt this year but it was a disaster! After thinking about what I could use for a ... View Post
