Bungalow 4

4 days until Christmas if you don't count today and I am so excited.  Can't wait for Christmas vacation to start.  I have so enjoyed checking the mail and looking at all the beautiful Christmas cards from our friends and family.  It seems like every year I do something different to display them.  This year they are hanging around the mantel.  Here are a few pictures of what other people do with their Christmas cards.

Wanted to share with you a project done by Sherry of Young House Love.  She found these brown paper mache looking reindeer for $4 at Ben Franklin and decided to spray paint them red to use as Christmas decorations.  I think they are perfect.

I am really digging some of the new arrivals at West Elm.

Loving some of the rugs I have recently spotted in the Garnet Hill catalog. 



I love houndstooth.  Such a classic pattern. 







Fun rugs!

If you're still undecided on what to get that special someone in your life for Christmas....let me give you 2 can't go wrong options.  Are you listening dear?

Number 1:  Can you say 3 day weekend????


Charleston


What about New York?

 
Martha's Vineyard

Really, you can go ANYWHERE.  Just pick a weekend book a hotel and get a babysitter if needed and take off.  Go and have fun like you did when you were dating.  How can you go wrong???

Number 2:  Go out to eat!!!  Pick a place that they love and make reservations and suprise them with a date night.  They say the way to a man's heart is through their stomach and that's true for me too.  Love to eat out!

Wouldn't mind a trip out to the ol' Melting Pot

Mmmm.... yummy fondue.  And don't forget the wine!


Seriously?  Leagal Sea Foods....  This would make one girl I know deliriously happy. (me!)


Or you could order from lobster gram and have a night in with delicious and really fresh food. No worrying about whose driving home.  We honeymooned in Maine and for our 1st anniversay I ordered this as a surprise.  Yes, they come live and yes, someone in your house has to be the murderer.  Or, you could order the tails.  Anyway, it was great!

Can't go wrong with any of these ideas.  Santa....are you listening????
