CHRISTMAS THINGS

 A few snaps of Christmas around the house.  Our tree started out as a boho woodland theme but now I just keep collecting cute animals for it.  The ceramic paint tube and paint brush from Anthropologie last year are my favorite though. I picked up a few more from there this year (like the deer below).  Less is more for me with Christmas decor, or maybe it's because I have expensive taste in ornaments. haha. More importantly, Urban Outfitters instagrammed the above photo of my tree yesterday and I was pretty stoked about it to say the least! 

 Cable knit stockings from Target, a fresh wreath, and greenery I clipped from the back of the tree for the mantle.

 A dream catcher I found at a thrift store

 The kitty girls being cozy together (only when it gets chilly in the house)

Hope you are enjoying the holidays and finding some time to relax.  Today is my last 'real' day for the week and I'm looking forward to sleeping in, gift exchanging, and cooking with my family.

FESTIVE HOLIDAY FAVORITES

these and more favorites here

A few favorite holiday pins from the past couple weeks.  Some of these images are so cozy and make me excited for cooler weather to come.  Decorating wise, we kept it simple this year.   I'm loving the geometric ornaments and advent calendars.  I plan to wrap with kraft paper, twine, and a bit of greenery. I love making handmade tags or adding some type of extra special touch on packaging.  Mismatched red plates would be so cute for holidays parties. Also, I haven't baked a bit yet...I need to find something peppermint / chocolate filled and get to work! 

BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

We got our tree up this week! It feels crazy that Christmas is almost here but having the tree and lights on every night has definitely been getting me into the spirit.  I decided I wanted to decorate very simple this year.  Our tree has white lights and just kraft paper ornaments.  I got these at Michaels, they were in the craft section meant to be painted or turned into something more exciting I suppose.  I loved them in their natural state and they ended up being under $1 each! I had leftover flowers and greenery from a photo shoot so I made tiny arrangements and added some rosemary and pine (cut from the back of the tree) to spruce up my end tables.  Now onto completing the shopping list.
