Hello friends! How are you? Feeling the holiday crunch yet? Hope you are having a nice weekend. Here,\u00a0 we were invited to a dear friends home for dinner and I forgot how nice it is to enjoy a dinner in one’s home vs a restaurant. So much more intimate and enjoyable.<\/p>\n

And it was a much needed little break from work. Another friend had a small tree decorating party, where everyone brings an ornament or two. She normally does a big party but limited it to 12 ladies given the Covid situation (which we all appreciated).<\/p>\n

Made me realize I need to get busy myself. I must admit, I have stopped going on Instagram as much as I usually do as it was giving me anxiety about all I had not<\/em> done. We have been working like little elves gone mad and somethings gotta give. In this case it was my holiday decorating:) We got in our holiday gift wrap (so beautiful) and have been shipping out hundreds of orders daily\u00a0 Two Fed ex trucks a day. We are making it happen!(we currently are offering all gift wrap 20% off until tonight, click here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>) .<\/p>\n

But all is not lost and I finally started doing a little bit, this weekend and decided I refuse to stress over this. After all,\u00a0 comparison is the thief of joy, right? It will get done, it always does! So I march onward knowing I am doing the very best I can and what gets done will have to do. I am refusing to stress over this, this year. OK,\u00a0 here we go with this weekends post-<\/p>\n

ITEM 1<\/strong> MY FIRST HOLIDAY TOUCHES <\/strong>Though I don’t consider early Dec “late to the starting gate” it feels that way when you look on instagram. It feels like everyone<\/em> started a lot earlier this year. Perhaps its because its been such a rough couple of years and everyone is anxious and excited to do something beautiful. I totally get it. Time is what I need more of. But it was nice to carve out a little to get a few things done around. here. I tend to take the slow and steady approach. I do a little bit every day\/week. Here is what has happened so far……<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a distance shot as it’s far from done, but the tree is up! So much for changing things up this year,I have now instead relegated myself to doing things differently next year.<\/em> I had big ideas but thinking of them and executing are two very different animals. I\u00a0 am just glad its up and I will work on it a little bit every day which is how I work. I may tackle the mantle today, we shall see. One baby step in the right direction though:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Took two of my favorite smaller ginger jars an filled them with tulips, fresh greens and berries. They are small enough to where I can move them around as I wish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here I took two sets of my newest bud vase sets (which I love) and added tulips, greenery and berries. They gave my hall chest a very festive appearance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love the new solid white mini set of vases,so practical. Love them used together or scattered around Click here to see<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Above is the new softer blue set (vase of 5) click here to see<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then spontaneously while at my local supermarket I spotted a big bin of garland ropes and these adorable 4 ft mini trees and impulsivity bought both. I have always wanted to have a pair of small Christmas trees planted in this fishbowl so I am well on my way! I am going to work on them hopefully today. A backseat filled cedar garland is always a good sign that things are moving in the right direction (and smelled soooo good on the ride home)<\/p>\n

ITEM 2<\/strong> SOME FABULOUS NEW ARRIVALS<\/strong> As things trickle in, we are excited over whats coming in over the next few months. I will not even talk about how we just got our fabulous pumpkins….in DECEMBER! I cannot tell you how upsetting this was. But I am dusting myself and moving on. Nothing I can do now. Take a look at some of the beautiful new goodies that will be heading this way in Jan\/Feb!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

How pretty are our new cane planters!! These are on the way in three colors, pale blue, grass green and white! 6″ and 8″<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Can you believe how stunning these new style floor planters are!! I am madly in love with them:) Due here around 12\/22<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And these stunning solid wood brackets will be here around Dec 22nd, in blue, green and ivory (2 sizes)<\/p>\n

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST<\/strong> You know the holiday inspo is going to be major from this point on! So much to love, I had a really hard time narrowing these down:) But here is my round up this weekend.<\/p>\n

4 AN EASY AND ELEGANT APPETIZER<\/strong> I made these the other night and these were so good and actually really easy. Super tasty and quite elegant looking. A nice appetizer for around the holidays, and surprisingly takes just a few minutes to put together, looks beautiful on an elegant silver tray. Found this at littlebroken.com.<\/p>\n
