Hello, December!

Hello December!
As we all know, the month of December can be a crazy month of busyness. So....I encourage you to resign yourself (or embrace!) the influences of the season as Mr. Thoreau suggests.

Try to create a few quiet moments where you feel the goodness of the season. I write this as a reminder for myself as much as for you! If you need some inspiration....we compiled a list of simple pleasures you might embrace this month. But first we will start with a bit of decorating inspiration.

How to Create a Peppermint Bar

Fill clear vessels with a variety of red and white candy.
I used a collection of old jars that have been hiding away in our pantry. If you don't have extra jars....try wine glasses or clear vases. Select a combination of different sizes and shapes.

Add ribbons and fresh greens.....

And mini twinkle lights
