Then we headed out to get some greenery for our porch decorations, which I think will be my "art" for today. I'm still not satisfied with them, but here they are for now:

Any suggestions on how I might pretty up my planters a bit more?
What preparations have you started in anticipation of the coming holiday season?
It looks like you had a great day. I am having a hard time getting into Christmas, haven't even planned Thanksgiving yet..lol...I have always like those little miniature trees that look like Christmas trees and decorating them with lights and little glass ornaments.
ReplyDeleteSherry Lynn -- we Canadians have the advantage (or what *I* think is the advantage!) of having Thanksgiving in the past (a few weeks ago), so we can focus just on Christmas now. But I'm really behind in my planning for the holidays :{
ReplyDeleteMy SIL has some of those miniature trees inside her house, and I love them, too!
Ooooohhhh! So inspiring! The books picture made me want to go over and have a good look at them. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the frame wreath, very original.
Here, in Argentina, Christmas spirit starts to show after December the 1st when classes are over and all the final exams are out of the way.
I wish you COULD come on over and have a look at them, Paula. I mean, anyone with that name has got to be a delightful person ;) Thanks for the compliment about the wreath -- it was fun to make:)
