I spent the day on one of my final jobs for winter planting this season. It was cold but actually felt good to be outside… as it will be a long winter. I am such a fan of the birch branches as they add a nice contrast to the dark greens. There are so many fun accents to add including eucalyptus, winter berries, pine cones, red huck, rose hips, and various pods. Have fun and be creative as these pots last through the spring!
These tables are set for a festive holiday meal and all the items can be found at Material Possessions in Winnetka or Chicago, IL. Mixing and Matching your dishes, pretty napkins, and place mats are all the little details that make a table inviting! Of course a wonderful meal will also help!
The combination of Snickers and cookie dough is a match made in heaven. Any left over candy… some still in my freezer from Halloween can be used to make these cookies. Use your imagination and have fun!
