Happy DECEMBER, and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to be joining Katherine at Katherine’s Corner and wonderful group of bloggers in celebrating the beginning of my fourth year as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too!
If you are looking to grow your blog, make new friends, and or simply to be inspired each week, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: If you would like a chance to be featured, please leave a comment with the number of your link up. We can’t wait to see what you have to share this week! (If you missed the last party and the AMAZING features, you can find it here.) To get the party started, let’s take a look at what I have been up to recently:
Repurposed Gift Bag Christmas “Chalkboard”
In lieu of a Pin Away Wednesdays post this week, I shared how I repurposed an old Christmas chalkboard-look gift bag into a Christmas “Chalkboard.” This was truly one of the fastest and prettiest crafts I have ever done. So easy and cute!
The Christmas tour fun continued on with a Fun and Festive Christmas Tree Hop hosted by Bricks -n-Blooms!
Vintage-Traditional Christmas Tree Ideas
I shared several of my Vintage-Traditional Christmas (and Farmhouse style) Christmas trees from the past few years and how this year’s main tree is coming along.
I have since “finished” my tree and music room for this year and will be sharing more of my music room and new kitchen in another Christmas home tour on Friday!
The tour is hosted by Marty of A Stroll Thru Life and features 30 fabulous homes all this week. The tour started on Monday, so you can head over to Marty’s after partying here today to catch up on the gorgeous holiday inspo.
“Throwback Thursday”
Let’s Hear It for Mrs. Claus: The Unsung Christmas Heroine
This week’s Throwback Thursday goes way back to mid-century Christmas with a bit of fun Kitsch featuring Mrs. Claus. This was such a fun post to write!

December 10, 2020 at 12:08 pmHi Amber! Hope this finds you well. Happy to be sharing #171 (a vulnerable and soulful subject I return to each year). What a year it continues to be! I continue to recover and am doing my best to keep moving forward. My work/blog has actually become my refuge since it is second nature after more than a decade of familiar rhythms. Thanks for the opportunity to gather and soak up new ideas and delish. xox
