I am thrilled for the buyers because they are moving to a great neighborhood in an amazing community.

It’s going to be a fun ride.

Our new home is an older farmhouse set on a few acres with lots of pretty gardens.

I can’t wait to get in there and start digging in the dirt!

It was a fun week on the blog!

Since I’m still sidelined from surgery, I spent some time doing some online shopping for Christmas!

Cause it is A LOT!

Christmas decorating has begun in my house!

Every year, I start with my dining room and since we are only in mid-November, I’m decorating it with lots of faux winter greens and neutral holiday decor to keep it toned down until Thanksgiving.

I’m sharing how to design a beautiful tablescape as well as what to look for when buying faux winter greens and florals.

If you want to decorate without the needle drop, THIS post is for you!

And while we are chatting about artificial winter greens, I also shared my favorite sources for faux Christmas trees.

After 23 years of decorating with a live Christmas tree, we made the switch last year.

And decorating for Christmas could not be easier.

No worries!
