A new Santa pillow from @target along with a throw from @PierI. I have way too much fun with Christmas decorating and last night's party was a great excuse to go all out. Now, that the party is over I think I'll sit here with a cup of tea and do a little online Christmas shopping for the family.
What are you up to on this sleepy Saturday?

It's easy to make a bouquet of flowers with grocery store blooms.
One secret is to have an interesting vase. This is a circle vase from a local florist, but I've also seen them at various stores. You can either place florist's tape across the top in a grid, or use a flower frog, OR, you can do like I did and just start placing flowers in a pleasing arrangement. If you put enough flowers in there, they hold themselves in place.
I thought this turned out really well. The flowers were from. @traderjoes.

Santa is watching for our guests to arrive for tonight's party. He's hanging out with paperwhites, a slow-starting amaryllis bulb and one of my Christmas cacti.

By the by, do you say cactuses or cacti? I guess I’m old-school. I still say cacti even though both are correct.

My paperwhites are starting to grow. We’re having a party tomorrow night, and I’m giving these as gifts to my friends.
These are varieties of Narcissus tazetta that smell better than the standard ‘Ziva.’ ‘Inball,’ ‘Ariel,’ and ‘Wintersun,’ among others. I planted them in vintage milk glass which is super cheap. No container over $10.

This is a fun gift for friends.
Tomorrow I’ll share more of our decorations. Stay tuned.
