Window Shopping

Hopefully you are almost done with your Christmas shopping!

If you need some inspiration to hit the stores (or the internet) hopefully this window display can brighten your spirits and fill you with enough Christmas cheer to get the job done.

This photo is the storefront window and sidewalk display for Back Porch Gatherings a super cute antique/home decor store in Ripon, Wi. This is one of my favorite stores to browse whenever I am in town. They have fully embraced the Christmas spirit and I am here for it!

Happy countdown to Christmas everyone!

Festive Front Door

by Leave a Comment

Everyone can have a festive front door, even if you live in a high rise!

I decided to decorate my door for the holidays this year, and it seriously makes me so happy every time I come home! I kind of wish I could leave it up year round.

Instead of going with a traditional pine wreath, I wanted to step things up a notch. This wreath is the perfect amount of fancy: the white berries are actually pearls, and I live for the gold and white color combo.

You can never have enough sparkle and shine in your life! Especially at Christmas time!

Silver and Gold

Silver and Gold, my all time favorite holiday color palette!

I spotted this beautiful tree at Patina Vie in Ripon, Wi this past weekend. I was in town for the “Dickens of a Christmas” holiday celebrations, and it honestly felt like I was living in a Hallmark Movie. I have never before witnessed a whole town turn intself into a Christmas village, and it is indeed a sight to behold.

That being said, I did not fall in love with a small town single father, and I did not stay in Ripon to open my own Christmas wreath store. Instead I did in fact return to the “big city” to keep being a stone cold career gal! —- (joke for my Hallmark movie fans!).

In all seriousness though, I love the beauty of the holidays, and I am so excited to soak up all the glitter and light this season has to offer!

Happy Monday, I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Christmas Time!!!!

I am still recovering from Thanksgiving, hence my silence on here, but it is officially Christmas time which is my favorite!!!

I love living in a city that so fully embraces the Christmas spirit and nothing makes me happier than seeing all of the Christmas lights and decorations on every street corner and inside every shop.

I popped into my favorite little shop P.O.S.H yesterday and their front entry display was adorable! I am in love with all of the little felt mice pictured above. I now want to turn my home into a magical Christmas mouseland.

So yes, I may be a bit tired, but the Christmas Spirit is certainly helping to raise my spirits! Cheers to Christmas!
