At Hobby Lobby on Tuesday with 3 girlfriends , Christmas carols were playing; usually so soon after Halloween I find that annoying but this time found I enjoyed it ,
and this weekend , a big Fall chore; clean up the basement and re organize my seasonal items.
While sorting thru the Xmas ornaments and rearranging shelves started thinking of how to decorate this Christmas.
Final encouragement received an email from Better Homes and Gardens with Holiday ideas .
Here are some that caught my eye.

I really like the mittens on the mantle. Inspired me to try to do something different this year. Thanks
It was so nice this weekend, that it's way too soon to think of Christmas. Good to hear you got the basement cleaned. I really need to declutter some myself.
Hi Rosemary, I have started to think about Christmas, but have not done anything just yet. Usually, I wait until the 15th of November before doing any decorating. I like some of these ideas, especially the apples, pinecones and fir on the mantel. It looks very fresh. The mittens are a nice change from standard stockings. The table place makers and candles are so simple yet fun and festive.
You know, I never think it's too early myself...
I like the name tag and the napkin wrap a lot.
Everything looks so pretty. Love the mittens !
Congrats on getting the basement clean.
Hmmm I think its time for Christmas decor after this...I love it and am like a kid. Thanks for stopping by my blog and chatting along.
