Christmas Decor Ideas

I know most of you are done with your Christmas decorations but if you want to retouch it a little before your guests arrive, here are some ideas. I'm loving the turquoise and white color palette, not your traditional christmas colors but still very festive.

*New* at Plume & Petals Jewelry

Here's a preview of some of my new jewelry designs at Plume & Petals. Very earthy, natural and feminine with lots of pretty semi precious stones. I must admit that it isn't easy creating jewelry with a full time job but with a little time management and passion, everything is possible =)

I spotted these lovely pieces when I went to Bloomingdales the other day. They are by Michael Aram, an artist who works primarily with metal. The candles would definitely be a great Christmas gift. And the ornaments, aren't they just so sweet?

Thanksgiving Potluck

This year I will have two big Thanksgiving meals... Thanksgiving lunch, at my parents-in-law and dinner at my parents, oh my. This year, at my parents, it will be a potluck dinner since we will have a total of 14 people! I want to make a really nice dessert and these are the options I'm considering...

Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie (love the doily pattern), Thanksgiving Cupcakes, Cranberry Compote Layered with Lemon Ricotta or Pecan Pie. They all look delicious don't they?

Monday Music- Adele "Make you feel my love"

I usually like to watch glee or desperate housewives on hulu while I make my jewelry but am also constantly listening to music to really get me going~ These days I am listening to Adele, love her song "Make you feel my love" Enjoy! =)

Make a child smile this season

My sweet hubby and I spent some time together this weekend picking out gifts and gift wrapping them in a shoe box to be sent over to Operation Christmas Child. If you are not familiar, Operation Christmas Child is a program organized by Samaritan's Purse that collects shoe boxes filled with sweet gifts to give to children in impoverished countries all over the world. I think that there aren't many things we can do to change the world but this small gesture will be able to put a big smile on a child's face this cold season =)

Thanksgiving table decor

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays~ the turkey, cranberries, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, yam, pumpkin pie..... mmmm

Just family and friends gathering together sharing a meal and all that we have to be thankful for in our lives, what more could you ask for? Below are some Thanksgiving table decor ideas to inspire you~
