free gingerbread house gift wrap

November 24, 2023

Start saving your grocery bags! Trader Joe’s has started using its holiday bags and they are super cute to use as holiday gift wrap! So, forget about adding the bags to your recycling bin and start adding them to your holiday wrapping station!

This year’s holiday bags sport a cute gingerbread house pattern with a light blue accent.

White or light blue ribbon make for a great addition to complete a package.

After wrapping gifts with the bags, use the scraps to make gift tags.

I hope I have inspired you to create some free gift wrap from holiday bags!

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

shades of green pumpkins

November 17, 2023

I did a couple posts this fall about color and styling of pumpkins. There is one more color palette I want to mention before we leave this topic!

When styling pumpkins for fall, green is an option we hadn’t really seen in the past. What fun varieties there are now! So, in this post, I am offering up some examples of how the color green can be added to pumpkin vignettes!

Not only are pumpkins offered in a variety of colors, but have you noticed there are pumpkin offerings in softer, muted looking tones?

Of course, a multi-color theme is a styling option as well and incorporating fall flowers is so fun! And though pumpkins come in a variety of colors, fall flowers, like the colors of the falling leaves, are available in even more!
