The most popular post from 2015....a dining room table vignette!



I thought it would be fun to share one of the most popular posts from this year.
This one is from back in August when there was plenty of sunshine and not so much sleet and freezing temperatures.

I decided to mix things up and change things around in the dining room the other day…….

Christmas gift wrapping……


I LOVE a beautifully wrapped gift!
Here are a few that really caught my eye.

Christmas Gift Wrapping Ideas | Easy, inexpensive and festive! | onsuttonplace.com:

This one is so gorgeous!!!!! The red and white ribbon against the brown script paper with the little gold monogram…..be still my heart!!!!

Even simpler than the cut out letters! Christmas Gift Wrap Idea. Made by The Haystack Needle [http://www.thehaystackneedleonline.com/2009/12/simple-gift-wrap.html]. Found on Babble | The New Home Ec.:

I love this simplicity of this one. The name stamped on the paper is so clever though. How many times have you hauled all those gifts to a party only to discover half the tags have fallen off somewhere along the way?!?!

My favorite part of Christmas is wrapping gifts. I love being able to be creative. It can get time consuming, but seeing a loved one's face light up when they see it, is well worth the effort.:

The ribbon on this one is just sooooo pretty!

Package wrapped in kraft paper and burlap with a boxwood wreath gift tag....beautiful and neutral wrapping from Craftberry Bush | Friday Christmas Favorites at www.andersonandgrant.com:

I love the textures on this one! The little wreath is so sweet…..
