Last year, it was 68 degrees at 9 am on Columbus Day in Southwest Florida.  This year, it is 78 degrees! And I am dreaming about Christmas!

Why am I thinking about Christmas?  Seems strange, doesn’t it!  It really isn’t as strange as it sounds though when you consider my background as a flower shop owner.  Those of us working in retail or the creative fields are always thinking in the future.  I also have a background in accounting and banking where we worked a lot in the past (think prior month) so it is amazing I have any idea what day it is!

Seasonal Holiday Centerpiece Ideas

 I can always use a bit of hope that the Christmas Season brings, can’t you?  I could use a bit of whimsy too.  

Has anyone starting thinking about their Holiday decorating for this year?  Dave usually thinks I am weird when I start talking about what our Christmas decorating theme is going to be.  After all this time together, I don’t know why he is shocked by anything I say, particularly if it is related to decorating!

Speaking of whimsy, I found this cute snowman while I was in Waco Tx a few years ago. I love his silver tinsel scarf!  Do you think it is too soon to display him?

I think he might look really cute paired with some of my other glittery snowmen!

While I go look for the totes with the snowmen and the spool of thin red tinsel garland, here are a few ideas to help you get a jump start on your seasonal decorating!

Simple Seasonal Holiday Centerpiece Ideas

My must have seasonal centerpiece vessels include dough bowls and sugar molds!

Having a dough bowl (or 2 or even more!) makes creating a stunning seasonal centerpiece so quick and easy!   For best results, I recommend that an oval or rectangle dough bowl be at least 17 inches in length! If you are using a round dough bowl, it should be at least 10 inches in diameter.

Sugar molds come in a variety of sizes and are one of my favorite things to use to decorate my table! They are so versatile!

Read on to see a few of my favorite ideas!

A little Shabby Chic nostalgia before I head back A little Shabby Chic nostalgia before I head back to Round Top today.
This fabric sample is from the mid‑2000s — rescued from a tiny shop in Monticello, IL that carried Rachel’s line. The owner was closing, and I scooped up every sample she had. I’ve kept them all these years… soft florals, gentle colors, and that sweet Shabby Chic soul.

Carrying that same spirit with me today: Peace. Love. Joy. Hopefully there will be a few brocante treasures waiting out there with the same kind of history.
