Decorating Ideas for a Charming Country-Style Christmas...

Hi Friends ~ Thanks for visiting during this merry and full time of year! Perhaps you need some last-minute decorating ideas, or maybe you just need to relax and let your mind wander for a few minutes... Either way, I'm glad you stopped by!

I love this hand-made merry & bright sign I found at a little co-op in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho last year. This picture was taken last year, but I used the sign again in our dining room this year. The log candle holders provide an outdoors-inspired winter feeling. 

Farmhouse Christmas Table Settings and Favors...

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season and not feeling too overwhelmed. I'm trying to take one day at a time and not get too far ahead of myself. (Ask me how I'm doing with that tomorrow! ;) 

Today, I thought I'd round up some table settings and favor ideas that we've used here these past few years. They are all fairly simple, and incorporate nature as well as a vintage feel...

Hi Everyone! I hope your week is going well... 

Thank you so much for all of your kind words on the blog and Instagram - wishing my parents a happy 50th anniversary. This is my last post from our trip to Maui last month where we celebrated my parents' 50th. I also want to thank the artists and vendors who worked with me to provide so many special gifts and favors to make the celebration even more special. 

Today, I'm happy to share some fun favors from Oriental Trading. Did you know that in addition to their main website, they also have a site dedicated to weddings and anniversaries? (I hadn't known this!)

Farmhouse Inspiration Roundup... (Home Decor, Favors, and More!)

It's hard to believe it's the last week of school before our summer vacation begins!

While we are all very excited, I always get sentimental this time of year. Our oldest son will soon be an eighth-grader with just one more year until high school! (What?) Our middle son will be all done with his elementary years and will be heading to middle school (6th grade) this fall. (Totally unbelievable because he can't be older than six...at least that's how it feels to me.) Our youngest son will be in second grade (And because he's our little caboose, I can't help but think, "We will never do first grade again...").

And if you're new here, that's right. We have three sons. And white slipcovers. 
While bolstering the bleach industry, it can be done!

Anyway, since I'm in a nostalgic mood, I thought we could reminisce over some highlights of the past month here on the blog. Just in case you missed anything...

A Farmhouse Christmas Table Setting, Centerpiece and Favors...

We are well into December, with all of its hustle and bustle, aren't we?!

Today is the last day of school for our boys before Christmas break, which means class parties and activities galore! So earlier this week, while the kids still had school, I was blessed to have a few dear friends over for a Christmas lunch, where we also celebrated a couple of birthdays.
