THANKSGIVING TABLE INSPIRATION
Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and we will be celebrating it twice, starting the weekend before, so I’ve been busy scheming how I’ll be setting my table this year! I’m currently obsessed with checks, so I think I’ll be pairing them with lots of texture, bamboo, tortoise, my grandmother’s silver candlesticks and…
GETTING A HEADSTART ON CHRISTMAS
I promise I’m not going to skip out on posting Thanksgiving goodies, but every year, without fail, many Christmas decorations I’ve had my eye on are sold out by the time I try adding to my cart, so I’m rounding up a bevy of beauties I love – some I have and few I want!…
ENTERTAINING PRETTIES FOR FALL + THE HOLIDAYS
I’ve never been the biggest fan of decorating with shades of red, but I have to say, lately I’m loving wine paired with lots of texture, silver, a little ironstone and, of course, a few topiary for the table! I found the prettiest gingham napkins in burgundy and they inspired me to do a roundup…
DIY HALLOWEEN BATS
I shared a photo on Insta yesterday of some bat decorations I put up every year for the kids and I got so many questions about where I found them, that I decided to do a post on them here! I actually made these myself years ago; I printed out a bat template online and…
JULY 4TH 2022
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and a fabulous Fourth of July! The tropical storm that was supposed to blow through diverted and we had the most amazing weather, which lent itself to an equally incredible long weekend with friends, family, food and pool time and it was truly one of the…
RED, WHITE + BLUE FAVORITES FOR THE 4TH
The Fourth of July is this weekend already, and we are ready to celebrate with a bevy of red, white and blue decorations, good food and, hopefully, amazing weather! I’m not usually the biggest fan of red, but this time of year, I love to display small pops of it in full force, alongside navy,…
LAST MINUTE FATHER’S DAY GIFT IDEAS
After having been on a pretty steady blogging kick, I hadn’t meant to take a hiatus from posting as it turned out, but I’m back today to share some fabulous last minute finds for Father’s Day this weekend (all of which will make it in time if you shop today!) My husband is admittedly the…
GIFT IDEAS FOR MOM
Every year, Mother’s Day seems to creep up on me and this year is no exception. Over the weekend, while searching for something for my own momma, I found a bunch of fabulous pieces that would make great gift ideas, so I thought I’d round them all up in a post here! For me, the…
EASTER BASKET IDEAS FOR KIDS
Easter is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about baskets for the kiddos! I always look forward to putting them together for my littles and, though I usually stick with the same things every year – books, a new pair of sunnies, some candy and maybe a few other little…
HOW TO MAKE A BOOK PAGE WREATH
I said I’d never make another one of these book page wreaths years ago because they were so time consuming, but then fast forward almost a decade and here I am, hot gluing my fingers together and absolutely eating my words! I used to make these for friends and family back when I didn’t have…
HOW WE KEEP OUR TREE ALIVE THROUGH THE NEW YEAR
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are easing into decorating for the most wonderful time of the year! We spent the holiday up north, but drove home Saturday so we could grab a tree before they were all gone and boy, did we find a beauty of a nine footer! If it…

For the first time EVER, I’ve actually made my way through more than half my Christmas list well before Thanksgiving, so I’m kicking off the unofficial start of the holiday season today with a gift guide for the ladies in our lives – friends, sisters, mommas and wives who deserve a little something special! For…
