spooky mantel decor

Last Halloween, I mostly only decorated Asher’s room. If you’ll recall, I scored our mantel on marketplace just in time for Hanukkah last year.

So if we’re being technical, this was the mantel’s very first spooky season so I had a very valid excuse for getting excited. If I’m being totalllyyy honest, though, Asher and I were picking up prescriptions at Target while David was in the hospital. I swear I only was going to grab one thing, the garland, and the next thing I knew my cart was full.😬 A little decorating magic ensued…

I needed to do some organizing and more shopping and returning as I figured out our Halloween spooky garden party aesthetic, and then had to do some crafting and customizing myself. None of the bigger freaky floral arrangements that were in store worked in our space, so I made the perfect ones myself.

So happy with the way this all turned out… Cheers to all the fall festivities up ahead!

gift guide: house and home

I really, truly love gift giving, despite my stance on limiting it. When I struggle with the perfect gift, it tends to be for those who seem to have everything, or people I don’t know intimately. And in both of these cases, I find myself deferring to gifts of edibles, family favorites, or decorative bits, so I’m sharing a house and home gift guide with y’all today!

I feel strongly about a stylish and serviceable apron- Hedley and Bennett are our family’s fave (I danced Ashe out at the apron factory), and this floral apron is so pretty too! I love giving a bit of spice as a gift- hot honey and Barron’s West Indian hot sauce are staples in our house, so they are ones I give over and over.  Other tried-and-true faves that would make such good gifts are this bamboo and straw cup (so many of you have already bought one and love it too!), a salt lamp, the coziest chenille pompom blanket, and these stacked personalized books. We have two sets, and I love the family version but really love the custom hanukkah one even more

gift guide: feminine picks

This next gift guide is for the ladies in your life! 

Now, please don’t think I’m pigeonholing with the phrasing… these are gifts with a feminine vibe, suited for absolutely whoever would like them! Have and love some of these things, and am gifting even more of them. But life’s about balance, and I also asked for a new cordless drill this year. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I love spoiling all year round, but especially at the holidays, and sharing some of my favorite feminine things.

gift guide: $5 stocking stuffers and sussies

I looove a sussy- an inexpensive little gift.  These are perfect if you’re putting together a bigger gift basket, for “favorite things” parties, or stuffing stockings. These are the type of things I keep on hand in the gift stash, gift to neighbors, to tape onto a card or add to a gift card or another gift as a little upgrade. I’ve seen some stocking stuffer gift guides clearly written by people with much bigger budgets than me 🤣, and good for them! But this one is for the rest of us normal people- these items are petite on both the size spectrum and price point- small enough to stuff in a stocking, and all are around or under a $5.

winter white holiday mantel decor

I’m astonished about the date on this blog post. As I said over on Instagram, I’ve done a lot of things but NEVER HAVE I EVER✨ decorated for the holidays this early. We’re don’t even celebrate Christmas, so normally I decorate for Hanukkah after Thanksgiving at the beginning of December. 

But it’s been a long year, and once I scored this mantel for a song on FB marketplace last week, I couldn’t help myself from wanting to bring all the cozy vibes with twinkly lights and winter whites.

holiday greens

When it comes to holiday attire, I tend to shy away from the typical. Perhaps it’s that our family doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but the red and white that is everywhere this time of year doesn’t really ring my bells. For me, holiday fancies hinge on luxurious textures and festive textiles, and I lean towards blue, green, and metallics.

gift guide: for him

When it comes to the holiday season, I think the hardest people to shop for are the men in our lives. Husbands, boyfriends, dads, brothers- it can be so so impossible to decide what to buy, and tempting to take the easy way out and throw video games and gift cards in their direction. Wanting to branch out just a little, I’ve done some browsing and online shopping, and these are some of my favorite guy gifts this season.
