I spent the weekend visiting with friends and family in New Hampshire.
It is a long drive back and forth, but I find sometimes I come up with some of my best ideas when I am “half-asleep” in the car. No worries, I wasn’t driving!
Now that I am back, I am ready to go full speed forward with my Christmas decorations.
I hope you enjoyed this collection of vintage Christmas decorating ideas (or faux vintage!).
I am finding this year I have been enjoying a lot of DIY projects, but my heart is always with vintage. As always, I love anything with a story and a history, and that is never more true than at Christmas time
I am quite sure several of these will be back in the mix this year, but I am also enjoying adding in a few DIY items. You already saw my Advent calendar, wood slice wreath, and a DIY reindeer. I am still working on a really large chalkboard that we made and some ornaments.
But, I guess the first place to start – which is always the hardest, is to bring down all of the bins from the attic. I am determined to keep things somewhat organized in the process this year.
Of course, the fact that I am hosting Thanksgiving on Thursday will really hold me to that! At least, I hope it will.
Wishing you a great day and happy decorating.
Hi Laura, I was just looking at your black, white & green table from last year. The black & white houndstooth with the white ironstone is so beautiful. You really have an eye for decorating. Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for your lovely blog.
I find that I get the best ideas when driving, too! We have a cabin in Upstate NY and the 3+ hour ride always gets my creative juices flowing. Can’t wait to see how you decorate this Christmas. Your home always tops my list of favorites. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!

My bins are out of the attic. The decorating was going to start today…but the youngest woke up with a stomach virus, the middle child called sick from school at 10:30…and I’m hosting Thanksgiving! The frantic decorating will begin tomorrow! Hope yours goes well! 🙂 Life to the full! Melissa
Laura, cant’ wait to see your home on the Holiday Walk. Loved it last year. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I absolutely love your advent calendar! You have such creative ideas! Can’t wait to see more!
