I saw the very delightful Faux Fuchsia's tree going up weeks ago on instagram
I knew then I just had to get my bedroom tree upand my little room dressed for the season of celebrations!
I love the luxury of comfort and soothing textureswith a calm neutral pallet.
I know there is even more debate this year about decorating too earlybut I couldn't be happier that my bedroom tree has been up for weeks.
I got it up earlywithout any holiday stresswith plenty of time to marvel in the process and lovingly place ...
with carols and candle light in the back ground
it was a soulful endeavor
with none of the hurry to get putting up my treemerely checked off my to do list.
Now when I look at my treeI not only see it's overall beautyandthe cherished memories of the individual ornaments
I remember the beauty in the process
To scale back and simplify
so that I can have time to savor and enjoy.
I have put them in order ...
1. I want to finish my holiday brooche necklace
2. Make candles. I can't tell you how many years this has been on my list.and how many years we have gathered supplies only never to get to it.I do know it has been so long ago I was still homeschooling my children :))This year I am setting aside a day to finally do thisbecauseI know it will make my heart happy.
3. Make bread dough ornaments and tags. My pinterest Christmas board has been collectingthis idea for quite some time.I would enjoy getting to this one.
I have my decorating list tightened up.I have list of a few things to add to my garden to make it sing a little for the holidays.
Gifting is on schedule
So as I delight in my little sanctuary dressed for the holidays
I am reminded to savor and enjoythis holiday season.
as always dear friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
and
Savor and enjoy your Holiday Season
