Christmas Decor

Many of you may know Leigh's oldest daughter Lauren ... She used to live in Charleston, SC (lucky gal!) but has recently moved back to Greenville, NC. By recent, we mean a month ago! 

She typically loves pulling out all the stops for Christmas ... decorating, baking, parties ... the works! This year it just seemed an impossible task after packing up her life (literally!) a month ago! 

We y'all look at the CUTE tree she created after realizing that she couldn't have NOTHING Christmas-y in her house! :) 

We love it! Sticks from her backyard and glass ornaments from Big Lots! The grosgrain ribbon she had leftover from Pottery Barn packages she received as wedding gifts last year! In all, the tree cost her $3(plus tax!) to create! 

Do you have any creative Christmas decorations to share? 

Fall Flowers

Our favorite Fall flowers are mums ... Everything about them reminds us of Fall! 

And what a better thing to mix them with than pumpkins! 

We love the look of mums and pumpkins mixed together for simple but classic Fall decor! 

And then we saw THIS idea ... 

How great?!?! All you do is cut the top off the pumpkin slightly larger than you would if you were simply carving it ... Then stick your potted mum down in! 

PERFECTION! :)
