Good Sunday morning to you! Hope this finds you well and no doubt in the thick of holiday planning. I have to admit I don’t quite have my mojo this year, I know I am not alone, as I keep hearing that from others as well. That said, my tree is up and there are decorations happening, a little bit every day. That’s just how I roll, not in one fell swoop but in little windows of time. Always tweaking:)

Gifts are a whole other story. Haven’t even started but have ideas of what I am getting and this year, it’s one big gift for each kid. A kayak for one, a puppy for another and still on the prowl for one special thing for my third son ( they never read my blog so I am not concerned)! Still working on that list…..with lucky will have it done by end of this week. Somehow, someway always gets done!

Let’s get started with this weeks Seven on Sunday-

1 CHRISTMAS SO FAR AROUND HERE So this year I am pretty slow out of the starting gate except that I had my tree up far early than usual. Like so many, not totally feeling that Christmas spirit that I normally do but I went out and bought paperwhites and amaryllis, brought some blue and white home and it actually gave me a much needed little boost towards some decorating. It will be just us 5 for Christmas as it was Thanksgiving and I am totally OK with it now, knowing we are all safe and will be together next year.

This weekend I will finish the tree, and this week will do my planters. I have added some pretty but not crazy touches around the house and here is what I haves so far…

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST  This time of year Instagram is overflowing with the most beautiful and inspiring photos. So much beauty to choose from. Hard to narrow it down but I finally did1

4 PARCHMENT LEAVES AND ROLLING PINS Just ordered this rolling pin, have no idea when I will have the time (maybe it was delusional dreaming)but also maybe part of me wants a reason to stop for a few minutes and do something fun and festive like bake homemade cookies (something I never do). Have a feeling this will happen Christmas day at the rate these days re flying by. These just look so beautiful, I hope they are this easy! Click here for more info

And thought this parchment leaves are brilliant, so nice for things like cheese boards, or pretty appetizer trays. Such a clever idea. Click here to find out more at Sur La Table.

5 WONDERFUL PRESS! I love when I see our name in the glossy pages of some of my favorite magazines, such an honor and thrill to be recognized! Totally made my day to be featured in three incredible home magazines!

A thrill to see our new box planters in this chic line up with editor Pamela Pierced of Milieu magazine

And over at House Beautiful, they featured our topiary ornament

And  finally Elle Decor featured our black quatrefoil planter!

6 MY AMAZING CUSTOMERS I get such a thrill seeing my production your spectacular homes. I swear I could make such a wonderful book featuring some of these pictures. I also enjoy sharing them here as I know many of you enjoy them too….

There is no poll today, having issues with the coding for the poll service we use, so hopefully will have it fixed by next Sunday!
