IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Well...hello there....so glad to see you here!
Thank you for stopping by Estelle's today!
Are the fall decorations nicely packed away?
Are you in  full blown decorating for Christmas mode?
I think we can all agree that often the planning, shopping
cleaning and decorating falls to the Mom's, while the Dad's
are a bit more relaxed about the home décor but
manage to take care of the outside!

 I see the Instagram influencers and You Tubers

have been showcasing their perfectly decorated

homes since before Thanksgiving!

It does provide some pretty great inspiration doesn't it?

This year, I am scaling way back on Christmas decorating...

last year, I brought out SO much since our Atlanta family

was visiting and it was most likely the last year

Luke the Duke would be a child at heart....

we are so much older and it's pretty hard to

go up and down the stairs carrying bins and decorations

down from the attic.....that's what happens to us,

but nonetheless....we take joy in the process

of transforming our home for the holiday season!

I have just begun placing snippets of Christmas around here and there,
so I thought it would be fun to share a few beautiful decorations....
I purchased these beautiful glittery Christmas cards at Walmart!

The Santa mugs are on display at the kitchen workstation.....

This is probably my favorite Hot Cocoa tin I purchased
a few years ago......

I love Christmas mugs, don't you?
This one features the artwork of Susan Winget.....

The Kitchen Aid is dressed and waiting to assist
in baking some holiday treats!

Love these McKenzie Childs napkins.......
by the way, have you noticed the prices of
paper napkins lately......???? Wowza!!!

Current morning coffee mug....

Now, THIS I love.....new canvas artwork
for the mantel.....

And, this darling felt garland....too adorable!

Santa's are beginning to appear in various nooks and crannies...

The tree went up today and is soon to be decorated....
the theme this year is WOODLANDS IN THE SNOW!

And, I close this post with a sunset from Atlanta....
even Piper Rose noticed this stunning evening sky....
