Holiday Inspiration

There’s something about Easter eggs that I find so nostalgic. I always loved sitting down at the kitchen table while my mom lead the egg-dying charge. On Easter morning it was all about a frilly dress, hunting for eggs and sugar-induced glee. Right now I am loving these stylish and colorful Easter egg ideas and definitely want to try my hand at making something especially pretty this year.

I really can’t get enough of these gorgeous packages wrapped so simply yet beautifully in kraft paper and twine with little springs of pine for a fresh pop of evergreen.

Decorating for the holidays has always been a special tradition in my family. Unwrapping each ornament and recalling the story behind it is always a big part of the process and in recent years, we’ve even started exchanging ornaments as holiday gifts. It’s something we all look forward to every year. That said, I am loving the selection of beautiful mercury glass ornaments, hobnail glass ornaments, and crystal ornaments from Luna Bazaar, one of our awesome sponsors.

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had a great long weekend and got to spend lots of time with your loved ones. This week we’re bringing on the holiday cheer in full force around here.

Here’s a little inspiration to get the week started…happy holidays!
