A little slice of the Big Apple.....at Christmas!!


This past week I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend a few wonderful days in New York City.....wow!! Even though it's not quite Thanksgiving yet down there, you can definitely feel the excitement of the upcoming holiday season in the air all around! So many beautiful decorations and displays up already....I can only imagine what it must be like when December arrives and the festivities kick into full gear! 

Here's just  a sample of what I saw....








































I hope you have enjoyed my little tour and that it provides some inspiration for your own holiday decorating....  Have fun!!    :)

It's just about that time of year again....

November 4 already. Can you believe it?!

Yesterday, I woke up to the prettiest dusting of snow on our neighbourhood. It was Christmas card perfect!  Too bad in the morning rush of getting the kids off to school, I never had time to capture a picture before it all melted away ...

In around 25 days or so I will be in the thick of my holiday decorating....I can't wait! As a matter of fact, it was a bit of a winter wonderland here way back in September! HGTV.com had contacted me to submit some pics for their upcoming holiday features....I was super excited to do it!

In an effort to get back in the holiday spirit (and perhaps provide some inspiration to you) , I compiled some images from that photo shoot , along with some from previous years, into a little slideshow. I hope you enjoy it ....Happy Holiday Decorating to all!!
