the best ideas for Christmas greenery

 

One of the things I love most about living in southern California is all the lovely citrus that we get during the winter months.

 

The oranges came directly from our backyard, and not only are they a delicious variety of navel orange, but they also make for a cute display on my little Christmas tree when they’re sliced and dried in the oven.

 

Simple twine does the trick for arranging them on a little noble fir tree like this. 🍊🌲

Mixed greens garland and fresh tree are from Armstrong Garden Center. The Moët champagne bucket is from my collection. 

Whenever I see a vintage champagne bucket while out thrifting, I grab it. They're so handy for so many things!

 

If you’re looking for a lovely hostess gift idea, how about a beautiful glazed terracotta pot filled with culinary herbs? Perfect timing with the holidays just right around the corner.

 

I got everything I needed at Armstrong’s including this lovely Italian-style pot, and I filled it with some of my favorite herbs, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

 

While cooking during the holidays, these flavorful lovelies are right at your fingertips. Just snip a few sprigs and add to your turkey or favorite side dish. 🤍🌿

 

Here’s one of the wreaths on our front doors. We have double doors, so I always like to get a pair of matching wreaths. 

These lush evergreen wreaths are from our local Armstrong’s, which is just a few blocks away. I then added a trio of  antique-looking bells on each wreath. 

I love the way they softly clang upon our arrival. I knew the look I was after for this year’s doors, so luckily Amazon had just the right ones!

favorite holiday accents for the table

You may have seen the Christmas inspired by nature tablescape that I shared earlier in the month. Well today I’m back to share how a few little elements that I found on Amazon helped bring the table all together. 

 

Of course, the tableware basics are things I’ve already had, and then I went out and foraged a few fern fronds to divide up as a natural looking runner.  

 

An extra bag of cranberries leftover from Thanksgiving did the trick to add some festive color to the table. 

 

Special holiday interest is added to each place setting, and it was really so easy to put together with some key craft pieces. 

 

I’m not that crafty, but these were easy elements to combine... 

 

I whipped out my trusty old glue gun to make these mini wreaths, and dug into my supply of twine to bring things together. 

 

Only 10 more days until Christmas! 

 

Here are the little things helped bring everything together to create this festive table:

Wood Slice Coasters 

Black Chalkboard Sign 

 

All in all, this is one of my favorite holiday looks. Neutral colors on the table, with just a hint of natural green and fruity elements makes my heart sing! 

 

This look has been a theme in my home all season.  

Also wanted to share with you that I just found out this weekend that my new Amazon storefront has been approved! I’ve got several different categories for gift suggestions, including My Christmas Gift Guide.  

 

I’d love it if you all came for a visit to my new virtual shop to check it out!
