The other Christmas table that I did for the class was all the vintage toys, so I decided to keep this one pretty simple and classic, and definitely more grown up. I started with a row of trees and black lanterns and then I added a beaded garland in red, green, and white and someContinue reading “Christmas Table for the Tablescaping Class”

Thanksgiving in the Barn
This is another table that I was practicing for my class. This was set up on a round table for the class, so everything was in more of a circle rather than being in a line.

I picked some up because I planned to use them with our wreath. My husband hung aContinue reading “Outside Holiday Decorations”
