gifting decor

take a cue from your friends and family's decor to help when you are gift giving-

- wood gallery frame from Pottery Barn

-Hermes throw ( I know, I know, when we win the lottery ;)

- seashells

When you know it will be a piece that fits right in, they'll love it! Nobody wants to have to put out that piece that just doesn't work... right?!

rooms from Canadian House & Home

+ my entry.. see ya DIY art, the holidays are moving in :)

I find myself pre planning my holiday look this year. It's going to be subtle. I have all my stuff organised in the basement, and am fitting together in my mind where it's going. I am doing everything I can to avoid the 'haul up 8 boxes that were randomly packed because I just had to get all the decorations put away because I was sick of looking at them, now it's time to decorate again and I should have thought this out because now I just have 8 boxes of stuff I have to put somewhere, but where?' You know what I mean?

Beautiful gifts can always be found at Pottery Barn. It's over the holiday season that I miss being there. Being a part of helping find the perfect gift - it was such fun! Enjoy these fun finds that would be lovely to give or receive.
