The Marketplace: Countdown for Christmas starts Now

I think we're all pretty much in full-on Christmas mode. Many of you are thinking about Christmas presents from online vendors, and I know I've made a few purchases from Etsy Shops lately for presents and Christmas decor. Here are a few fun items from last week.

just getting started...

I seem to have a little Christmas decor ADD going on at the moment. My desire to "deck the halls" versus my need for "less". My goal this Season is to Simplify. I'm going through boxes and tubs and I know that there will be many that will be left untouched. I'm just craving quiet, nature inspired, and peaceful. I know I'll have some fun things going on, but we probably will be traveling this next month for my husband's doctor visits, and I just don't want to have tons of decor to put away after Christmas. I want to keep things "winter" themed so there will be less to put away come the week after Christmas.



This year I found some wonderful silvery glittered garland and a small wreath, so this is my starting point in the Entry.


glittered nests, pinecones, and a few rusty jingle bells.


 I have a starting point.
 Now to see if I can keep my plan. 
Simplify.



 Hope you'll come by for
