Journey Jots #58
Hello guys and happy Sunday!
How was your week? Did you have a good Thanksgiving? Have you started Christmas shopping yet? Do you have any good news to share? I love to know what’s going on in your world so let me know in the comments.
Life Lately
It is COLD here! Sans snow but my gosh the air is freezing. However, we are hearty Minnesotans and have all the correct outdoor gear to continue our daily walks with Tilly. It truly is beautiful this time of the year, too!
It was a nice, short work week with a lovely long weekend! We had a super fun Thanksgiving filled with lots of board games, Molly time, and loads of good food.
Molly LOVED her first Thanksgiving meal and cleaned her tray! She was a big fan of her uncle’s mashed potatoes 🙂
The festivities wore out this sweet doggy of mine!
Now, it’s all things Christmas from here to the end of the year. Can you believe it?!
Weekly Shopping Finds- Favorite Neutral Christmas Decor
- Tabletop Christmas Trees-This fluted, ceramic Christmas tree is adorable! Also this paper tabletop tree is super unique. Here’s a wood version. And, a rattan basket weave tree. Finally, this green glass one and green velvet one.
- These antique-inspired bells with velvet ribbon are gorgeous.
- How pretty is this rustic wooden Nativity scene?!
- A grouping of these brass reindeer would be so pretty on a mantel!
- This glittered paper house ornament is adorable! Or, if you want a super neutral tree, these brown velvet flocked ornaments are super pretty.
- Adorn your tree with this lit rattan star tree topper!
- Greenery adds such texture and movement. This real touch Norfolk pine garland is gorgeous as this the coordinating cedar wreath.
On the Blog-Journey Jots #58
This past Wednesday I shared a brand new post all about sustainable Christmas decorating through the use of thrifted finds. In it, you will find my top tips for styling your home on a budget, in a beautiful way, while cutting back on waste this season!
In this Christmas post, I share simple ways of stying a holiday tables cape using vintage ornaments and greenery! Ornaments paired with holiday greenery may seem super simple but they pack a big punch.
Finally, if you adore vintage Christmas like I do, this post has a plethora of decorating and styling tips for anything and everything vintage!

I WROTE AN E-BOOK! My very first e-book, ‘An Introduction to: Antique and Vintage Home Decor’, is available for purchase and I couldn’t be more excited about it.
The e-book is a 32 page, downloadable PDF file that you will receive in your email upon purchase. In it, you will find tips for sourcing, pricing, and styling decor from milk glass to copper to linens. I do hope you check it out!
I also have one Christmas candle available for purchase!
This one-of-a-kind Christmas candle poured in a vintage ball jar smells of pine, balsam, and sweet cranberry with a hint of cinnamon. It’s the epitome of what Christmas smells like!
There is just this one available and would make a lovely gift.
