 one of my most favorite things about this time of year is being able to be outdoors and using my garden to liven up my home. i recently planted some pomegranate trees for home decor. i love their look laying casually on a silver platter or arranged for the mantle or table top.

another favorite for both scent and look is eucalyptus. i bring bunches inside often to add to an arrangement or lay down the table as a centerpiece. it is simply lovely with roses as well! soon I will tackle some for a whimsical wreath as the holidays approach.

the possibilities are endless here with winter citrus, fresh herbs, and fall foliage. we’ll be sharing some wreath making soon, so look forward to some good decorating tips, and get outside and enjoy this great weather!!

with the upcoming holidays we have a few things on our mind.
