greige christmas.. 2013

Every year I try and change it up a little bit around the house for the holidays..  I was going through some of my previous posts and found that there have been subtle changes.. maybe next year I really need to switch it up.  This time around I added more antlers and kept it pretty simple.  We typically have two trees but opted for just one very round one this year and did not put out most of the decorations... simple simple simple...

I hope you are enjoying your holiday season and decorations...  All the best from us here!

glitter....

 

I have to admit I have a weakness for a little Christmas sparkle and glitter.  This is our tree from last year - I am not sure what kind of changes I want to make this year but here are a few of the newest editions that I did pick up.  I love the stags and the little glittery house in the globe.   

Do you stick with the same holiday decorations or do you change it up each year?

We have a made a step forward though - we picked up our trees yesterday - I love the smell of the fresh tree so perfectly Christmas.

Holiday magic

 

I came  across this gorgeous space and had to share.  Love love the garland and the antlers.  How are you doing on your holiday decor and shopping?  Still no tree here- hoping for tonight if it is not raining too badly, shopping is going a bit better.

Boxwood wreaths...

I was so excited to find some beautiful boxwood wreaths at Trader Joes.  For the price I feel as though I could replace them 3 times over the season if they get a little crispy!  

Looking forward to gearing up for Christmas this week with our tree coming soon.

Happy Holidays!

Holiday pumpkins

 

I think one of my favorite things about fall is the visit to the pumpkin patch.  I love to see all of the different varieties that have become so popular over the last few years.  I especially like the way we have progressed into the adult version of pumpkin carving and display.  These pieces from Martha Stewart are so fun, they make me wish I had some real carving skills. 

 This year we are keeping with our tradition of having a little carving party for the kids and their friends at the house.  I am so excited and hoping to get it all together including the other fun games like bobbing for apples, and relay races!

 Do you have any traditions that you have started for Halloween?  Are you a pro at carving or decorating pumpkins?

This is the first year I have seen the really large white and pink pumpkins at the patch- loved them!

Fossils {accessory trends}

While I was at the show in Atlanta I saw the most beautiful fossils everywhere and most were already sold.  Most of the showrooms used them in display or as the main accessories on their furnishings.  I fell in love!  I was very excited to pick up a few pieces this past week, which I am even more excited to share with you.  

 

I am sorry this photo is not better, these pieces were amazing!

Each of the the architectural fragments had bits of stone attached to them.

 

Loved this too!

 I picked up Smokey Quartz and Amethyst pieces, these are for sale in our flea market section of the shop.

 

Stop by the shop to see what we have been adding, I will be putting more on in the coming days.

Dressed up for Christmas..

We had some freinds over on Saturday night for a holiday dinner party so I spent most of the morning with my daughter decorating the tree and the rest of the house.  We are ready now.. bring on the Christmas.  I just have to wrap up some gifts and finish a bit of shopping before I can completely relax and kick my feet up (as if that will ever happen).    I changed things up a little this year but it is generally the same as the last..

Wishing you a lovely start to a very busy week!
