Happy Holidays! We are there friends; that time of year when half the neighborhood already has their Christmas decor up and the other half is staunchly waiting for Thanksgiving to pass before decking the halls. Personally I am firmly in the latter camp; one holiday at a time, please. That said, my husband is counting the days until he can start playing his holiday records. The Vince Gauraldi Trio’s Charlie Brown Christmas is about to become the soundtrack of my life. Not that I mind… Let’s get into the holiday spirit today with What to Wednesday…Deck the Halls (and yourself) with holiday cheer.
Today's What to...Wednesday is about holiday decorating
We've put together two collages with ideas for adding ambiance to your decor.
Plus one collage for what to wear if you're the hostess in the kitchen

Thanks so much for the festive post Beth. I do hope that you are putting out your christmas magazine with all your lovely recipes. I bought your first one and for the life of me cannot find it. Paris trip looked fabulous by the way and I also must thank you for the intro to Pottery Barn as have found one in Sydney,australia that have bought from after your recommendations. Have a very happy and safe festive season
Hi Jackie, Kelly here…I am so happy you found a Pottery Barn, they are a reliable brand for home goods. Thanks so so much for stopping by! xo Kelly
HI Kelly , I learned about Talbots from Beth quite some time ago and in fact bought a couple of things at the time. Just perusing Beths recommendations again as although in Australia where we are on a large acreage it is quite cold and looking at some purchases for next winter as I know I can rely on the sizing and being only a little taller than you it is difficult to get items for petites. Have a lovely Festive Season
Hello Jackie, It’s great you have had good luck with Talbots Petites. I find their sizing reliable too, They have a lot of great items this year, so I hope you find just the coat you’re looking for! xo Kelly
