Holiday Decorating Must Have- Wreaths

Everyone's door is not complete during the holiday season (or any other season if you're like me) without a wreath. Wreath's can be simple, elegant, over the top, bright, shabby, cozy, furry, you get the point. This year I think I'm going to opt for an organza decorated wreath in lime green and red. I browsed Etsy and picked out some of my favorites to share with you all.
This beauty is from the shop of Etsy artist shakewilly. I think she did a (more than) fabulous job choosing the colors for this wreath. Each beautiful pastel ball sits so fitingly exactly in place as if Santa Claus himself put it there.


This elegant beauty is from the shop of Etsy artist slkbaxt64. This wreath is perfect if you love elegant things. It is decorated so lovely with the poinsettias, glistening fruit, and golden leaves. The bow is like the icing on the cake. Only it's not icing and this isn't a cake. :)



The minute I saw the picture of this wreath I fell in love. This is in the Etsy shop thegatherednest. I love the shabby cottage-ish feel of this wreath. The white wreath is something different that you probably won't see hanging on your neighbors door which is what makes this beauty so unique. Ohhh- and all proceeds of this goes to the adoption of 2 children.


Fit gor a king? Maybe, but it's more like knit for a queen. I absolutley love this wreath! Staright out of the Etsy shop of ragstorichesart, this wreath was made with the knitting queen in mind. The knitting needles (actually made from chopsticks) give this spectacular creation it's final touch.


Got a sweet tooth? Most of us do. This sugary gum drop delight is a part of the Etsy shop designcandie. The sugary coated sprakle of the gum drops remind me a of thin frost on a wintery morning. This is so uniuque. I'm speechless.



Upon finding this fabric covered wreath I have began to rethink my previous plan of having an organza wreath. This lovely whimsical wreath can be found in the Etsy shop of HollandFabricHouse. That sweet little birdie is just twirping my name. "Cassie, Cassie, tweet" Do you all hear it?




I hope you all enjoyed looking at these beautiful wreaths as I enjoyed searching for them. Now that you've got some ideas maybe you can decide on this years wreath. If you're not loving the wreath look try a holiday swag for your door. Swags are so similiar to wreaths and add as much or as little detail to your door as you would like.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Oh, how I love the holiday season. Seeing family that you don't get to see all the time, good food, giving (and receiving) gifts, shopping, decorating, and the craziness of it all! Today we went out shopping for a new Christmas tree. We decided on going non-traditional and getting a white tree. Not to mention, it was pre-lit and on SALE. I can never say no to a sale. Sorry. We also bought new, brightly colored ornaments, ranging in color from lime green to red to silver to bright blue to hot pink and purple. I had to take pictures so everyone else could join in on the joy of our new Christmas tree. So here it is!



Isn't it gorgeous? I think so. I love bright and fun colors and this is definitely both. This tree is so me!!



I had to throw these other two photos in. This is a shabby little shelf in our bathroom. I hung 3 silver snowflakes from it to give it a little holiday cheer. I enjoy seeing holiday reminders around the home. It reminds not only us, but our guest as well that the holiday season has arrived. It is upon us!



Since the set of ornaments I purchased was packed fulll or ornaments I took out a few and decked the lampshade. I thought this coordinated well with the tree and sort of tied the look together.
