Annnnnd it’s December. Unreal, isn’t it?

I don’t know if it’s because we needed a change of scenery, or because we know we will be spending a lot of time in the house for the holidays, but we got an XL tree, and we love it.

Also, we didn’t put up a tree last year since we were back and forth to Naples, so it was extra fun opening the ornaments. So many of my ornaments are in MacKenzie Childs boxes, so it’s like Christmas morning opening them up and seeing what ornament is inside.

Once the ornaments are hung, the empty boxes are perfect for under the tree decoration.

We took advantage of some warm weather last week and hung the wreaths and put out some trees. The dead mums and ivy would have to wait for Vickie Lea Designs to show up!

The wreath bows have lasted and lasted. They probably need replacing, but that was not going to happen this year. I did replace ALL the lights though, and that was a workout.

I couldn’t wait for Vickie Lea Designs to show up this week to do a couple pots. I had the iron topiaries waiting for them, and I am so happy to have them done.

Such a sunny day!

A few more holiday highlights from inside. . .

A couple more favorite Czech trees!

I have a very large shipment of Czech trees coming. However, many of them may not be in until after the holidays. The timing is not the best. However, this same thing happened last year, and I just saved them until closer to Christmas this year, and I sold ALL of them!! A few new trees have started to trickle in and I will upload them just as soon as I get them unpacked and inspected. SHOP HERE

Hope you are enjoying December!
