Tree Time...

I love seeing how all the retailers decorate for the holidays - it always inspires me to try new things with our own decor, so I don't even mind when they start before Thanksgiving! ;)

Something feels so right about the mix of the chandelier and these cool trees (made of bark!) at my favorite little paper boutique in Seattle, Paper Delights...

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving so that I can really kick off the holiday decor around here!

More Side 'Dos...

If last summer was all about the side braid, then this winter is all about the side chignon... I bookmarked this in a recent issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, but forgot to give it a try and was happy to come across the photos again on A Cup Of Jo...

Check out more photos and the how-to HERE.

I'll be trying this soon, although it won't be nearly as glamorous without that amazing red hair. :)

Cooling Down

I know it's still early November, but I'm craving a big mug of mulled wine and a stroll through a European Christmas Market like this one:

Little Bouquets...

...for my mom's 50th birthday party!! By now you all know about my love for these adorable monogrammed mugs from Anthropologie, no? Well, imagine my delight when photographing one of our lovely couples' weddings a little while back and seeing them used to spell out "SWEETS" for their candy table! Love.

So... when it came time to celebrate my mom's 50th, we needed something super special, and we borrowed the idea for her party! I picked up local dahlias and some grapes at the store, and then gathered herbs and grapevines from our garden to fill it all out...

And just for fun, here are some of the other decorations...

Cheers!
