best of the new year!

December 29, 2019

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday!  I did my very best to stay in the moment and enjoy every scrap of time I was able to spend with my family.  Which is why you haven’t seen a post from me until now!

I wanted to put up a quick post to wish you the very best as the new year begins!  Have a very safe and happy celebration!

See you in 2020!

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

diamonds & furs christmas tree

December 3, 2019

Tiffany box

In this part of the country, snow and Christmas just go together!  As we prepare for our first significant snow storm of this winter, it is hard not to think of the holidays!

The short 3-week time period between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year has put everyone in a shopping frenzy!  I did most of my holiday décor and shopping extra early this year so I could give my full attention to the holiday displays I needed to prepare at work.

One thing I did fit in was to create a themed tree for a local nonprofit.  You know how much I love a good theme!  I came up with a fun one for a tree to be raffled off by a private local high school.

My ‘luxury’ theme was inspired by Tiffany.  Tiny mink coats, strings of pearls, diamonds, and Tiffany boxes came together in a really fun way on a lighted table top Christmas tree!  I wanted to come up with a tree no one else would think to do – what better way to create some interest!

I plan to make my decorated tree donation an annual tradition and I am looking forward to coming up with a new theme each year as a way to inspire others to donate to the school!

I hope I have inspired you to combine fun and giving into your holiday routine!

Thanks for stopping by!
