farmhouse style christmas projects

I hope the weekend treated you all nicely! After a relaxing Saturday and Sunday, it actually feels nice to be back at my desk today working on some new projects and catching up on work stuff! 

 

This special Christmas issue by Country Sampler Farmhouse Style has been out for several weeks now, and today I’m sharing some of my contributions to this fun annual installment of CSFS. 

 

“Cute as a Button” 

Starting on page 62, you can check out several fun holiday wrapping ideas with the article called “Fresh & Festive Gift Wrap”. These three ideas of mine are only a few of the creative options in this section. 

 

“Special Delivery” 

“Seasonal Snapshots” 

"Christmas Chutney"

The next article is called "Gifts from the Heart”. Among the many thoughtful gifts is this special recipe for Christmas Chutney. I love making a big pot of homemade chutney this time of year and packing it in pretty repurposed jars for gift giving.  

 

There really are so many delicious ways to serve chutney, and many of them are listed for you to try on page 70. 

“Chocolate-Dipped Yankee Oatmeal Crispies”

Last but not least are these amazing “Chocolate-Dipped Yankee Oatmeal Crispies”. The original recipe is from the 1960’s, and I modified it here by adding a little dip of chocolate to each one. This treasured recipe can be found on page 105.

Due to the exclusive nature of these projects, I'm not able to share the recipes and DIY instructions just yet. But, I will say this, all of these issues are packed full of holiday crafts, decorating ideas, recipes and more!  

So as this year is slowly coming to an end, I'm truly so grateful to be featured in these 3 holiday-inspired magazines this season! Even though, it’s been a really interesting 2020, I had some fun doing a lot of photography and styling work to keep my distracted and busy.

My styling project for Cottages & Bungalows was shot a year ago, and all my projects for both issues of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style were shot here in my house during March and April.  

 

Seeing these Christmas recipes, designs and ideas come to life is really a dream come true. Thanks so much for checking in with me. I’m happy to have somewhere to share all these ideas that I have up in my head! 

 

I’ll be back later this week with more holiday inspo! 

ciao! fabiana
