Decking the Halls {with Stockings}

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

I adore the newest cotton knit sweater stockings J & I purchased from the Ralph Lauren store on 5th Avenue. I had never seen these before, and I had to have them.

They blend in quite well with my Christmas den decor.

Decking the Halls {Christmas Cards}

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Our Christmas card, a Scriptura exclusive, features a jazz band playing on a street corner in the historic French Quarter. J & I love to listen to these groups while walking through the Quarter. Tanya & Dorise have become a fave of ours.

I love the sentiment: 

"May you find 

MERRIMENT ON EVERY CORNER

this Holiday Season"

Of course, I love to use music-inspired confetti in each one. It is a surprise when they are opened.

This year all of my Christmas cards were placed in a glass curiosity box on the coffee table. I love the organized look and ease of flipping through each.

Decking the Halls {with Plaid}

This year, I have seen lots and lots of plaid offered for Christmas. As a fan of plaid since birth, I loved coordinating different tartan plaids in my Christmas decor --- pillows, blankets, ribbons!

Plaid Pillows.
Thanks to Kris of Junk Chic Cottage and Marty of A Stroll Thru Life for locating and shipping me the great plaid pillows with fur trim. My blog friends are the best!

I love the plaid pillows with the embroidered antlers used in the parlor.

Two etsy plaid pillows, monogrammed of course, fit nicely on the master bed.

Plaid Bedding and Blanket in the master bedroom.

Plaid Plates.
Thanks to BFF Amanda of Dixie Delights for the monogrammed plates and to Liz of Infuse with Liz for finding the plaid dinner plates at her local TJ Maxx. Now, she is in search of the salad versions. Didn't I say blog friends are the best?

I have always loved plaid, and it works perfectly at this time of year.

I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas Eve.

Decking with Plaid, y'all!
