Good Sunday morning, everyone! It is freeeeeezing over here. Going right through my bones. I have whipped out all my scarves, gloves and its officially heavy coat season.
Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying a nice, cozy weekend. I’m really looking forward to today—Sundays tend to be my “unplug” day. I usually stay home, relax, and putter around the house, and today I’ll be watching little Philip for a few hours, which is always the best highlight.
We have a holiday party tonight (mercifully on the earlier side!), and then that will officially wrap up our weekend. The days are flying by, and I can hardly believe Christmas is just about two weeks away. I know the build-up can make many of us—myself absolutely included—feel overwhelmed, but somehow everything gets done every single year. So I’m trying not to stress.
I’ve got lists on my desk, on my phone, in my bag, but the big task right now is gift buying. That said, I’m doing about 90% of it online this year. I even gave myself a self-imposed deadline to have everything wrapped up by the 12th… let’s see if I actually pull it off! To be determined….
OK, onward to my post this weekend…
1 SNEAK PEEK INTO SPRING With the holidays just a few weeks away, for us, its a look ahead into spring. Because we now sell wholesale, we have to get our collections ready earlier than we typically would. So we will get our spring goods in later Jan/early Feb. Always fun to see and share whats coming down the pike. You are always the first and only group to see! These wonderful new pagoda wastepaper baskets will be offered in four colors, and love the new tole jars!
We are working on our egg and bunny collection and might I say, it will be our prettiest yet. So stay tuned, lots more to come……
We will get these fabulous tole ginger jars in a few colors/styles in 2 sizes, this will be a beautiful spring collection (some minor modifications are being made but this is the overall concept)
2 A RALPH LAUREN POPUP AT SLOANE SQUARE IN CHELSEA Whether you live nearby by or might be vising the UK over the holidays this was too pretty and charming to not share. Yes, everything Ralph Lauren touches does turn to gold, he has the magic touch! Love this immersive ode to Americana popup in Sloane Square. There will be cooking making, wreath designing, and other workshops. There will be of course a Ralph’s Coffee, a small retail shop and Santa will be paying a visit for the kiddos. Believe this is on until Dec 24th. Could not be any more charming. Read more about it over at The Rake.
3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST A super stunning array of elegant holiday inspired instagrams this week
4 A BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY HOME TOUR This will surely get you in the holiday mood, this former White House florist takes you along for a magnificent holiday ride, where every inch of the infamous Cheekwood Gardens in Nashville is decorated magnificently!
5 VELVET BOWS Never understate what 25 or so velvet bows can do to a tree! Because I have embraced the darker woods/moodier vibe that this house is that we are currently in, I decided to add some gorgeous chestnut/rusty toned velvet bows to my tree. They really enhanced everything and were the perfect finishing touch! I had a local florist make the bows (I provided the ribbon). I cannot make a bow to save my life so this was a godsend!

Bow #1 one!
About half way done, hope to finish the rest today
6 ADORABLE INFLATABLE LARGE NUTCRACKERS What a fabulous idea! If I lived somewhere warm, I would buy these for the poo (they have a weighted bottom), how cute! However they are equally wonderful for the front door or elsewhere, that you want a little holiday cheer.Plus so reasonable, two sizes. Really fun! Click here
7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY We all know its a busy and hectic few weeks ahead.Lots to get done. Some of us more organized than others. And some of us are a work in progress, still learning how to pace ourselves to avoid complete holiday burnout. I was reading something and it said to avoid that, if feasible to outsource one responsibility on you holiday list. I am not doing that personally as I do manage to get it all done BUT the idea sounds enticing. If the holiday fairy said she would allow you to resource one area of holiday to do’s, which would yours be? Mine would definitely be the gift buying, I find it stressful!
Two reminders-
Today is our second and last day to take advantage of a fantastic sale on all ornaments (glass and tole) and our incredible gift toppers.

Thanks for stopping by today. Love to hear from you. Wishing everyone a relaxing Sunday, we all need a day to unplug a bit and Sunday’s tend to be that day for me personally. Until next time…
Beautiful everything! Love your bows, that color is so beautiful. Those nutcrackers are so fun, i have to get them for my daughter (who lives in Florida). Love your bog. And if a little elf could help me with something, it would be gift shopping. Like you, I get overwhelmed in trying to think of unique gifts and it gets frustrating, especially when under pressure!
While I don’t celebrate Christmas, I do celebrate my own holidays and decorate for them. Being in love with design,I always enjoy seeing the celebrations and decorations of others, especially at Christmas. I just love the bow idea, and I love the color !! Having the bows, such a pretty element, all over the tree integrates it so well! So well done!!! And I just love the Pagoda wastebasket/ tissue group that is coming! Can’t wait !
Beautiful holiday photos
Just an idea…when we lived, and traveled in Europe, I would see items that reminded me of a specific person…so I started collecting gifts and saved them for Christmas…
I’ve continued to gather special gifts any time of the year…and when Christmas arrives wonderful gifts are ready for wrapping. Magical!
Today, I enjoyed your Instagram photos, especially the one with the dachshund in the red truck and Piper all decked out her holiday finery! The Homeworthy tour of Cheekwood Gardens in Nashville, Tennessee was so interesting and the trees were so beautiful! That certainly represented a lot of hard work by the designer.

Tina I wished you had added to the list Christmas cards. Our family tradition includes a family picture or pictures.😣
