:: a place to create

With the holidays fast approaching, I have so many crafty projects I want to tackle. So far time hasn't really been on my side, so no real crafting has been taking place around my nest...but I do have plans. Now, maybe if I had this cool studio/craft space I would be more likely to get going.

:: my rustic wish list

This year I'm quite taken with Rustic decor, especially Christmas decor. In my humble opinion you can never go wrong with rustic natural items...they never go out of style. While shopping around on ETSY, the items above were just a few of my favorites. I can never get enough silver rings, pinecones, burlap, natural wood, or aprons especial with ticking stripes {this one is in my cart as I type}. Many of these items I would love to duplicate for my home & the rest I would like to see in my stocking or under the tree {hee hee}.

So what's on your wishlist this year?  Are you a fan of Rustic decor? How are you decorating for the holidays? Rustic, Traditional, Modern....a mix?

Items can be found here....1....2....3....4....5....6....7

I have a pretty good start on my Christmas decorating and i've decided once again to keep it fairly simple. I'm hoping to go later today to forage through my little five acre forest for some live greenery to liven up what I already have in place. I hope to have some snapshots to share of this years holiday decorating very soon, I love seeing how others decorate their homes for the holidays don't you?

Happy Wishing & Decorating : )

:: Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll

Just a few instagram snaps of my Thanksgiving decor. Sadly no-one will see it this year as we had to pass on our hosting duties due to the flu. Thankfully everyone is now well ...so off to Grandma's house we'll go. Blessings to you all & a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Safe Travels.
