Holiday Decorating
With two of the major holidays fastly approaching, Thanksgiving and Christmas, I have to start early with planning. This year for Christmas, I'll be purchasing a fake tree. Normally, the past few years, we've brought a real tree and even though it looks beautiful and smells great; I HATE the clean up. All the pine needles falling off and not to mention getting that thing out the door and into the trash when the holiday is over. So, I told my hubby that we need to invest in a good fake one; one that is full and will last us for a couple years (or more). I try to change my color scheme each year which is always a good excuse to buy new ornaments! So for Thanksgiving, I try to keep it minimal with just buying table decorations. Well I've recently gotten into the white dishes, and need to start buying platters, serving trays, etc. for this purpose. Plus, white dishes look great for any occasion. With that being said, here are a few pics that got me giddy and ready for all the festivities!

Fall Decorating
If you're like me and have been waiting for fall, then you must have the fall decorating itch too!
I think not only is fall my favorite season because of all the cute clothes, but it really gives me a chance to decorate even more! Pumpkins are my first indication in getting excited about this time of year. Every year I set out to have a fantastic porch decorating scene and I always wait until the last minute. I normally only result in hanging a wreath on my door and it pretty much stops there. Well, thanks to Pinterest and other blogs I've been following; they have truly inspired me to get moving!! I hit Michael's up this past weekend for some pumpkins (which were on sale!) and put a few pieces I already had around the house together with it. This will make up my fall mantelpiece. I haven't quite finished yet, but when I do pics will definitely be posted. I scored this cute scarecrow from the dollar section at Target that I'll be using outside on my porch.
