Home for the Holidays....




Personally, I flippin' LOVE the holiday season!  Everything just feels so magical, warm, and whimsical.  Now doing retail with our Unglued: Market we get to start super early with planning especially with downtown meetings (downtown is going to illuminate the heck out of the holidays!!).  It seems like the holiday season is even longer now which is a total bonus! 

 Our first holiday event is actually outside the shop where we got to decorate for "Home for the Holidays."  


This is an event by local sorority Alpha Gamma Delta where businesses from the area decorate 5 homes with their shop items and the tickets to attend raise money for the Cass Clay BackPack Program (so awesome!!).


Holland's Gift & Garden Shoppe in Moorhead invited us to decorate the front porch of a completely beautiful Moorhead home!  There were 2 sides to the porch - a cozy couch and chill area and an adorable little table area.  The kids who live at the house use the table area to do their artwork and homework...


With a little bit of burlap and little bit of our pretty origami cranes, Kristina and I went with a blue-ish theme for winter and kept it decorated for both the holidays and winter all with items from Unglued.  There are so many simple things you can do with burlap & twine & sweet handmade products!


With twine hanging from floral washi tape, cards can be displayed in a small area where you can still so easily take them down to read and enjoy.



Our hostess for the coffee/wine table was totally adorable in her "Hello Sailor" cocktail apron and Robin's Egg Cupcake Necklace.


We are especially stoked for our first supply of Christmas stockings!!  Complete with woodland animals and their houndstooth scarves...


A few weeks ago an Unglued shopper donated this sweet vintage tree...can't wait to have it at the shop!




Blues are so pretty to use for Christmas time.  I'm sure there's a whole smattering of blues-decorating ideas on Pinterest to get your DIY on!

If you're interested in checking out the rest of this gorgeous house and the 4 others they are open Sat & Sun this weekend from noon-5pm.  Tickets are $20 with the proceeds going to the Cass Clay BackPack Program.  Tickets can be purchased at Baker Nursery Garden & Gift, Holland's, Northern Home, Scheels, and Unglued!
