Oh Christmas Theme, Oh Christmas Theme . . .

Do you have a theme for your Christmas tree?  Since many people have more than one tree for Christmas, I think more and more are choosing to “theme up” at least one of their trees.   What’s more natural than a bird-themed tree?

Not all of us are cut out for making our own Christmas gifts.  But some of us could make a few if they were simple and special, right? A vintage teacup candle is a heartfelt gift for a special friend or family member.  Candlemaking kits are available at stores like Michaels, or you could just drop a votive in a cute tea cup.  Or, cheat a little and buy these ready-made at Anthropologie!  


Just a spritz of spray mount and a roll in a tray of colored glitter from Martha Stewart Crafts (available at Michaels) makes regular taper or pillar candles extra-special. glitter candles via martha Seasonal Styling   Handmade Gifts

Inspiration from Anthropologie


I love Anthropologie.   I guess it’s the vintage-hip-bohemian vibe that draws me in.  Now, don’t get me wrong.  It’s not like I buy anything there except for the occasional little decor trinket.  The clothes are way too expensive for me, but I get so much decor and fashion inspiration by just perusing that store.  We’ll just focus on the decor inspiration for today, particularly in regards to Christmas styling. anthropologie gift Inspiration from Anthropologie
