Holiday Wreaths: Organic and Traditional


Good day world!

We're one day closer to Christmas and so I have another wreath post for you... Of all the funky and unique types of wreaths I've featured over the past week, these are the more traditional and natural looking wreaths.  Berries, holly branches, pine cones, leaves, succulents, palm fronds and more.... I love how every wreath is unique in its very own way!

AHHH!!!  Succulents!  Nature's wonder!  I LOVE this wreath :)

Lovely lovely lovely!



 


Table wreath!  I like this idea and its presentation!
Well, this isn't technically a wreath, but I'd say it's a creative interpretation of a wreath that makes this front door stoop look amazing!  Oh, and the snow and those great stone vases flanking the door help too!  :)
And last, a tropical wreath that cries Miami because it's made of palm fronds and a starfish! 
LOVE IT!

West Elm Holiday Decor and Gifts


I really like West Elm, they have great style and there's always something (many things) to love in their catalog.  Yes, they can be expensive, but they also have great sales and affordable decor that is usually too cute to resist!  For example, their 2010 Fall Holiday line....  I don't have to go on too much about it, the pictures speak for themselves.  Right now there's a sale on a lot of holiday and regular items, including an additional 15% off with the code MOREOFFCODE at checkout!  I'm trying to be very frugal this Christmas, on top of the fact that I'm moving so I could care less to shop, but I still need to go out and get a few things this weekend.  So, if you're in the same boat GOOD LUCK and happy shopping!  It's a jungle out there, AH!  Oh, and I hope you love this stuff as much as I do...

(P.S. - wow, white ceramic stuff is becoming so popular!  I'm growing to like it - in moderation)


Beautiful decorative table top Christmas Trees with great texture....
Great ornaments for your holiday tree.... you know I'm loving that cardboard owl!!!
These are some cute clip/wire on flowers for your tree or a nice decorative touch to your gift wrapping!

Goodies for your kitchen or next party... including lots of pretty platters, funky olive oil and vinegar dispensers and much more...
Very nice collection of Nutcracker themed dishes and platters...
LOVE these Olive Oil and Vinegar dispensers... Especially the birds!
I'm really liking all this white ceramic stuff... Milk carton pitcher, can salt and pepper shakers, can flour and sugar canisters and...I found that same ceramic egg crate at Ross for $1.49!  HA! 
Great cheese board, glass dome and cutting accessories!
Beautiful plates galore!
Funky patterned serving platters...
...and awesome Mushroom and Animal art print dessert plates!
Get a load of this spectacular hammered metal collection, including bowls, platters, pitchers and drink mixers!  The faceted metal mixer on the bottom left is nice too...
And of course, some classy faux branch Candelabras and candle holders, the Manzanita collection to be exact...
