Well, it’s December and suddenly weekends are full of checking items off a far-too-long to-do list. The main item on mine is doing all the outdoor decorations on Saturday. It’s going to be in the mid-30s all weekend, but it’s going to rain most of Sunday, so Saturday is the day for outdoor work. I hope I can power through to get it all finished. And I shall remind myself of the wise words of my friend Eric at
GardenFork: Done is better than perfect.
Here’s what the window box looked like from inside
last year. I loved the glow of the lights. This is also a good reminder of why I should remember to wash the window before I do the window box.
I probably don’t need to share all the amazing holiday stuff floating around the interweb with you here. Suffice to say, if you’re in the mood for a little holiday crafting/DIY, head over to
Pinterest and you’ll find something to occupy your time.
A very different kind of
advent calendar (that you should probably keep in the fridge).
Loi got a
new shipment of antiques into his shop and of course they are incredible. That first desk melts my heart.
If you’re shopping, make sure you check out the two gift guides I’ve done so far:
Custom Gifts for Gardeners and
Vintage Gift Finds. More to come next week in case, like me, shopping doesn’t really start for a few weeks!
And lastly, I am definitely going to be stealing this super simple
napkin-folding technique from Kim at Sand & Sisal for any holiday gatherings we may have.
What will you be doing this weekend?
