Lola's Christmas Nursery

 

 Thank you all for your kind words about our Christmas Tour on Monday. It's been so much fun checking out the other homes that have been featured so far and I am looking forward to seeing all of the new ones today! 

Now that I've finished sizing and watermarking a bunch more of the photos I took last week I thought I would start showing you more details of our Christmas decorating. Today I will show you Lorelei's room.  I added a hat to Winnie the Pooh that I wore when I was a baby (and probably my siblings all wore it too!) and then Lillie and Lola have each worn it over the past few winters. The little scarf was a gift from Jon's parents. The noel sign (above) is from Icing Designs. I will have a tutorial for the yarn trees up soon!

You can see more of the room in this shot:

My mom made these stars for Lorelei's room last year and I hung them on her tree and then later from the ceiling in the corner. I decided to try them in the window this year seeing how we didn't put up a tree in her room this year and I think I like them better here!

Lillie and Lola were busy "baking" for me while I was taking these photos. 

And before I sign off I thought I would let you know that we will have a new pillow available in our shop tonight! 

And lastly, congratulations to Sandi! You have won your choice of Lynch Creek Farms wreaths! We will send you an e-mail later today. 

 Thank you all for entering!

Have a fabulous Wednesday!

A Couple New Things in the Nursery and Our New Emily Dickinson Pillow Covers

As I was scurrying around getting ready for our photoshoot last month there were a few projects on my list that my mom and sisters helped with. One of the things I really wanted to make for the little tree in Lola's room were these little stars. My mom had made some for her tree using a tutorial from the gorgeous blog Modern Country and then made some for Lola (or I guess really me)...=) I put some on her tree but then decided it might be cute to hang some from the ceiling to balance the other corner that has the hanging branch. And even though the tree is obviously gone now I kept these ones hanging in her room.

 

My sisters also helped me out. I STILL hadn't covered the euro inserts that were at the back of the daybed. You couldn't really tell in photos but it was always driving me crazy in real life. It was on my list of things to get done before the shoot but I couldn't decide what to make and then Dana sent me a picture of ones she had made for her new apartment. She told me she had just used a throw from Ikea and cut it up to make several new shams for her large pillows in her bed. They were perfect! I was running out of time so my sister Jamie made them for me! Because the fabric was stretchy they were a little annoying to work with but I LOVE how they turned out.

 

Also, we are excited to introduce our first new spring pillow cover today!

It is available in our shop both as an individual pillow cover:

And as a set!

I hope you all have a most wonderful week!

Little Lola's Christmas Nursery and a Winner

I think Lola's room was my favorite this year. It was simple but still had a festive feel to it. I hung a little wreath over the dress in the frame and then used fresh greenery on her dresser and then covered three cones with a mix of things. One with a fuzzy textured yarn, one with a simple thin yarn, and another with some simple ruffles. I had seen the ruffled one on pinterest. My pinterest page won't load at all right now but once I get it working again I will find the link and add it in here. Anyway, I just showed you all a couple of shots during the house tour on Tuesday and I finally have them all up on my computer so here are the rest:

I kept the little tree in her room very simple with just a few ornaments. 

I may add a few more but am not sure. And I added a silent night pillow to her chair.

We will be offering this ruffled pillow in our shop after the holidays!

 

And over here we just added a little rosemary tree and a wreath.

 Well, that's it for little Miss Lola's room.

I also thought I would let you know that we are 

currently have marked down 

all of the Christmas items we have left in stock! 

And guess what else, it is time to announce the winner of the Simple Joys Paperie giveaway!

Congratulations to Tanja:

 Lana will be in touch with you soon about the gorgeous wreath you just won!

I hope you all have a blessed day!
