All things from the Sea....

I'm a little late to the Christmas Decorating this year - so right now, I'm in a big rush to get things organized and set up.  I am very excited as I thought I had four trips left before the end of the year...and two just got cancelled so now I'm jumping for joy.  Since I am staying with the same theme as last year, I'm trying or at least attempting to not buy very many ornaments or decorations since this will be my last Coastal Christmas for a while.  

But I could not resist these adorable sand dollar ornaments from the Etsy Shop tuttomare which means All things from the Sea. 

I fell in love with this little Santa

Love the little pink starfish

Had to get a snowman in there

Surfboard is a fun touch

So adorable

Love his little glasses

I just think these are so adorable...I could not resist them. Check out tuttomare as there are still a few left.  I didn't completely clean out the supply!  Hope your enjoying this holiday season. 

Coastal Christmas Countdown

Hello Everyone.  Hope you are enjoying this amazing holiday season.  Hard to believe that another year has gone by and I have my favorite time of the year coming up.  I've spent alot of time in the last week or so - planning all of my holiday decorations.  I have decided to keep one more year of the Coastal Christmas look with the aqua and red theme.

I thought I would share a few of my very favorite coastal inspiration photos that I have collected on my pinterest board called Coastal Holiday Decorating and Christmas Trees.  Please check this Board out for some awesome holiday inspiration.  

Hope you enjoy some of my very favorite images...

I look forward to sharing some of my holiday decorations this weekend when I get them all up.  I am having to modify my set up as I have a new kitty in the house and to say he is a bit rambunctious is an understatement.  Trying to figure out how to set up my tree without him noticing.  

Looking forward to seeing what everyone is up to this holiday season.  Best wishes.

To Flock or not Flock..that is the question....

First off, I have to say...I am totally overwhelmed by all the fabulosity that  is currently being displayed by all my very favorite blogs.  There are so many wonderful holiday inspirations going on...I can't keep up with them all so I decided just to make sure that I don't miss anything, I'm going to spend at least two or three hours on Saturday catching up on all these wonderful holiday posts.  I'm in full holiday decoration mode.  

And with that, I'm excited to say that I found a flocked tree. Or shall I say, my husband found it for me.  This season, I've been on the hunt for a real tree, that is flocked...and trust me, this is not been an easy task here in South Florida.  But, as of today, the hunt is over.  My husband found one for me...and since I'm on the road, he's ordering it, via Iphone texting and photos between us, tomorrow.  That way I will have it by the time I get home on Saturday.  I'm so excited.  

Why do I want a flocked tree?  Well, first off, I love to ski and I love the mountains...so here is my inspiration:

There is something so beautiful about a a winter landscape.

Here are some of my favorite shots of a lightly dusted tree....

So now I will have my own version to decorate, even if it's still 80 degrees outside...inside, my Christmas tree will be flocked with "snow".  Once again, my husband comes through for me. 

Stay tuned for photos of my coastal inspired "flocked" Christmas tree.  Why do I feel like this will be my very best tree ever?  Hope your enjoying your holiday season.
