Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor

December 19, 2014 · 3 Comments

Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas DecorThere is nothing more beautiful than a house adorned with fresh pine garland, tied up in bows, filled with the invigorating scents of winter, and a twinkling gilded tree. I love when my house is decked for this special holiday, and although it takes me about three days to put everything together, I wouldn’t trade the feeling of sitting on the couch watching a holiday movie, and seeing the pretty christmas tree perfectly lit, or walking down the stairs and getting slight whiffs of fresh pine. It simply puts a smile on my face, filling me with feelings I only get this time of year. It simply makes me the happiest. I may be a bit behind this season, but I still wanted to share a few snippets of my home during Christmas. Hopefully it can inspire you if you’re still needing some last-minute holiday decor for next week, or to just make you smile.

Every year I buy fresh pine garland, and this year I choose to create half wreaths on either side of the table. To use this table-scape as inspiration for your Christmas dinner, simply run the pine garland along the center of the table, instead of curving onto guests’ table setting. Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas DecorEvery year for as long as I could remember, my parents and I would head into New York City on December 23rd. We’d visit the iconic Rockefeller Christmas Tree, and see the amazing department store window displays, feeling the magic that is Christmas in New York City. My parents, were a bit under the weather this year, so the boyfriend, the sport that he is, accompanied me, as I embraced my childhood holiday giddiness. Our night ended with an amazing meal of Lobster Mac N’ Cheese at Todd English’s Food Hall. As much as I may not enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city, there is something just uniquely magical about this city during the holidays.

Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas Decor Friday Favorites + Last Minute Christmas DecorWith this being the last weekend before Christmas, I imagine most people are getting their last gifts bought and stocking up on delicious ingredients for their holiday meals. It can be easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas, but don’t let the beauty of the holiday slip away these last few days.

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
