Here are few things that I think would really get your home green and cozy for the upcoming holiday. And in most cases are home accessories that can be enjoyed all year long.
– Bay and Rosemary Wreath. I love the simple design of this fragrant and lovely wreath from Organic Bouquet. And it’s organic and grown in California to boot!
– Recycled Standing Glass Snowman. This lovely little snowman could be enjoyed all winter long. He is made with hand-blown recycled glass, you can pick him up from Uncommon Goods.
– Eco Holiday Stocking. This fantastic stocking from The Beehivery is made from free trade coffee bean bags. Simple. Sustainable. Perfect.
– Beautiful Border Pillow. Ok, so this pillow isn’t technically a holiday decoration – but I can pretend! I love everything from Chakra Pennywhistle and wouldn’t this pillow look great on your sofa this holiday season?
– Felt Garland. Because who wouldn’t want a handmade, fair trade garland from Branch this holiday season? I love that proceeds from the sale help provide an income stream for sheepherders and artisans in the Rajasthan State of India – and it will look adorable draped across your mantle.
– Bird Decoupage Organic Duvet Cover and Sham. This beautiful organic duvet and sham set from Pottery Barn could be used year round. I love the mix of natural elements, birds and calligraphy. I’ll take one queen size please. Lovely.
Do you have particular items that you bring out to get you in the holiday spirit?
What are they? I would love to hear about them!
We are very fortunate to have a professional artist in our family. Jayson’s cousin Louis Ulman is a fabulous and super talented romantic realist and a wonderful man. His paintings and drawings are vibrant, beautiful and intense. We visited Louis and his lovely wife Linda on our trip to Florida last week. It was a joy to see them and I always love seeing the masterpieces in progress in his home studio. I am always amazed at the way some people can create something so beautiful with paints and a canvas. Eben and Louis have a special bond that I find very heartwarming. I think it is because they are both so creative and expressive in their work. Eben loves to visit Louis whenever we are in Florida. He loves Louis’ enormous Koi pond. {More on that coming soon} My favorites are his paintings of Koi and we are lucky to have “Circle of Waterlilies”, “Pisces Pond”, “Pisces Pond Orange”, and “Pisces Pond Red” in our home. We also have other paintings and drawings that are wonderful. If you are in the market for beautiful fine art, you can see some of the beautiful work Louis does at
