Crazy that it’s the first Sunday of DECEMBER!! Oh boy, getting ready for the frenzy to start, actually it already has, truth be told. My goal in the next week is to start decorating my tree. I went a few days ago and found the most beautiful fresh tree, it was calling my name so I bought it.<\/p>\n

It’s being delivered early this week and so it will begin, the decorating frenzy except I approach mine in lots of mini stages. I do a little every day when times allows, and somehow, someway it all gets done.This will be a first for me to get it done so early. I decided to go real this year as we almost always have except for last year when I bought a large prelit tree, it is very nice but there’s nothing like a real tree. Time to get started with my Seven on Sunday…..<\/p>\n

1 WESTON FARMS.<\/strong> No one has magnolia like Weston Farms and I mean no one. The creations they make and the quality of their magnolia is truly bar none.\u00a0 I have ordered from them a number of times and simply put no one does it better!<\/p>\n

So if you are in the market for exquisite magnolia wreaths, swags, garland,etc….look no further than Weston Farms. They are a joy to work with, have amazingly fast turnaround time and deliver a top quality product. Here is a sampling of what they do below, click here to find out about Weston Farms<\/span> <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

2 MY ORNAMENTS IN HOUSE BEAUTIFUL!!<\/strong> I was so excited to see my ornaments featured in a beautiful spread by Jenny Wolf Interiors in the most recent Dec\/Jan issue of House Beautiful. It was\u00a0 a thrill to see them adorning the tree in this fabulously cheery space all decked out in blue and white!<\/p>\n

Makes me really excited to start decorating my own tree, that’s for sure. It’s going to be a blue and white Christmas here as well:)<\/p>\n

3 NEW HOLIDAY ARRANGEMENTS<\/strong> Speaking of the holidays, we have added some new beautiful amaryllis arrangements to our custom floral collection. Not only are these\u00a0 incredibly lifelike but if you\u00a0 know the prices of high end florals you will recognize that these are about\u00a0 half of my competitors.<\/p>\n

Amaryllis are not only incredibly beautiful but are like Christmas’s poster child, such an elegant flower. I have even mixed these with the real amaryllis and you cannot tell them apart! Click here to see them all.<\/strong><\/a><\/span> I am really proud of this wonderful collection and a few will soon be making their way into my home:)<\/p>\n

5. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST<\/strong> Oh boy this week it was a challenge to winnow down my favorites, there were so many. It is like holiday overload in the\u00a0 most beautiful way possible.<\/p>\n

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

And my favorite this week is of course this one because I just love seeing my ornaments in this fabulous space!<\/p>\n

6. TOURS BY LOCALS<\/strong>. I just love this idea! This connects a visitor or tourist in a new town with a local experienced resident to share their town and set up tours. Once done it allows them to be rated via their website,\u00a0 so you know what you are getting and can read of others experiences.<\/p>\n

This is such a wonderful idea….way better than loading up like a cattle call on some tour bus! I know a few who have who have used Tours by Locals and raved about them (one friend who was visiting NY). Click here to learn more.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY. <\/strong>I was not totally surprised to hear that this year’s Cyber Monday broke all former records. It seems more and more are doing online shopping and on one hand, I totally get it, it’s never been easier. But the on other it does make me a little sad. I am a fan of supporting particularly small local businesses and do it whenever I can.<\/p>\n

As much as Amazon has made our lives so much easier, it is a double edged sword in that it is hurting and crippling many local, often small businesses because come on…how can you compete with Amazon? So curious which statement best describes how you shop, online vs brick and mortar, this should be interesting!<\/p>\n
