Juliska Frame Ornament

Last year these Juliska frame ornaments sold out early, so I’ve been keeping a watchful eye out for the release of their 2021 options. I just ordered four boxes (not exaggerating) which should tell you how dedicated I am to these gorgeous, delicate silver frames. I intend to put our family Christmas photos in them each year so that someday when the kids are grown we have a full tree of holiday photos from years past. I’m contemplating order a few more sets because I realized that they also would make for the loveliest hostess gift for upcoming holiday parties.

If you love entertaining but aren’t yet utilizing Mrs. Alice’s Tablescapes, you’re in for a treat. The brand curates gorgeous coordinated collections every season and now is the time to peruse, you know, before holiday gatherings pop up on your calendar like wildflowers. I recently bought this tablecloth to coordinate with these napkins I got last year, though I have a feeling more purchases are imminent.

Easter/Spring Decor

While it’s entirely possible that I’ll be spending my Easter actually giving birth, that won’t stop me from getting excited about spring and Easter home decor. This charming basket is perfect for Easter but will be super useful… literally all the time. I’m so enamored with the colors of these alabaster eggs. I’m also losing it over the cuteness of these outdoor decorations that are absolutely begging me to place them in the yard for an Easter egg hunt. Coco would lose it. (We both would, tbh.) It’s entirely possible that these are the most breathtaking egg decorations ever designed,…

Maison de Carine Tableware

Okay, if you haven’t explored the beautiful world of Maison de Carine, I implore you to put down whatever else you’re scrolling through and DELIGHT YOURSELF. I recently shared a fun tablescape on Instagram that’s helping us visually transport ourselves to the tropics instead of just to you know, our twelfth month of quarantine. Nearly everything on the table was scored at Maison de Carine where stunning tableware can be bought outright or even rented for a special event. There’s a registry too and design services to help you come up with the perfect tablescape if you’re overwhelmed by too many good…

Frame Ornaments

Obviously, I’m shopping the sales for next year’s holiday decor. Why not peruse the discounts (specifically via Juliska, Pottery Barn, and Frontgate) and score serious deals while you can? I found some stunning frame ornaments which were sadly sold out, but it did give me the idea to put our family Christmas photo in a frame every year to hang on our tree. I love the idea of seeing this collection grow year after year. I opted for this style from Shutterfly. They’re beautiful and so easy to order, you just upload your photos!

Biodegradable Table Linens

These are SO SMART! They are table linens that can be used as placemats or napkins (or both!) and they look so pretty in person. They’re such a step up from paper, but you can just toss them afterward, and they’re completely biodegradable! There are COUNTLESS styles and colors to choose from, so these will work with any tablescape.

Pumpkin Dessert Options

Alright, it’s time you knew. I don’t like pumpkin pie. This is my truth, and you need to hear it. I love Thanksgiving, but I’ve always felt so disappointed in myself for not enjoying this cornerstone of the very holiday itself! This year, I’m rethinking my strategy. This year I’m exploring OTHER THINGS THAT ARE PUMPKIN, WOW—and one of the pumpkin desserts recipes on this list will reclaim pumpkin, and perhaps even Thanksgiving itself, in my heart. And tummy.

Pared-Down Thanksgiving

For those doing solo or duo Thanksgivings, which is so many of us, I really love this festive take on Thanksgiving dinner. (Or lunch, it’s your house, your schedule, make it Thanksgiving breakfast if you want! Go crazy.) This is a right-sized approach to festive dining, that doesn’t feel even the slightest bit like a consolation-prize. Honestly, I’d eat that honey butter roasted turkey any day of the year.
