I'm as guilty as all of the major retailers pushing Christmas early, but just as September and October went by like a flash, so will November.
We will be traveling toward the end of November; first to Disney and then to spend Thanksgiving with my family in St. Mary's, GA. I'm so excited for our trip, but I know that time will get away from me.
I'd like to put a homespun, rustic spin on our holiday this year.
And, as always, Pinterest is providing the inspiration.
How organic and beautiful is this greenery and dried orange garland?
A snowman made of fish bowls, perhaps?
Greenery, cranberries and water in a mason jar with tealights. A beautiful and aromatic centerpiece idea...
Get the kids involved foraging twigs for a rustic Christmas tree...
...as well as, twig stars.
My Uncle Ed (way back when) used to make folk art-ish Christmas trees out of large pine cones. He would affix the cone to a round of primitive-looking wood and lightly dab the ends with white paint, sometimes adding a bit of cotton. Not as "primary-colored" as the one above, but elegant and bucolic. I miss him and I wish I had more of those trees...
I am hunting eBay and Craigs List for some accessories for my Christmas mantel. Which is why I am starting early...Pinterest is not helping when it comes to some of the vintage items I am looking for. When/if i score, I'll be sharing!
