We are working on getting the house ready for a Christmas party that will take place the first week of December.  Not surprisingly this Holiday season it is ALL about the blues.  I’ve been so inspired by the blue toile crest invitation, which has helped set the tone of not just the party, but how I’m decorating in general during the holidays.  This card with the ginger jar mantel!!  It’s every.thing! And what inspired my mantel.  Now I just need to find some tree clippings …

I love Dixie Design Collective’s beautiful stationary, holiday cards, and coordinating gift tags.  No design aspect is overlooked!  They are all beautiful, classic, and fresh.   Plus, the quality is top notch.

Today I’m excited to be over on the their blog sharing 5 tips for holiday entertaining.  I still have a lot to learn in this area but these are a few of my “lessons learned” (:
