It’s just not the holidays without some crafting, am I right?  Today I’m sharing how to make a vintage inspired candy wreath.

I’m a little sad we’re missing the holidays in our old house.  It was finally finished and I knew my holiday decor would look so pretty in there.  So, when Domino asked me to send them some photos of my tree, I naturally set it up– in the middle of the summer no less– and […]

(A sneak peek at my holiday decor!  Yes, I set it all up and took photos before we moved.  And now I’m missing this room even more!) As my little family grows, I become more and more sentimental around the holidays.  I grew up in a home with few firm traditions.  My father had to […]
