It's beginning to look (and feel) a lot like Christmas!

My Christmas tablescape - the box in the middle is holding some real growing red amaryllis bulbs

Temperatures have really dipped this week in Houston. It is a wonderful change from the oppressive heat we suffer with most of the year. I love weather drama! Ice Storm? Yes, please. This cool weather inspires winter wonderland decorating doesn't it? I am continuing with my Christmas in the Enchanted Forest theme. It just means I can use lots and lots of moss, so I am in heaven.

Wanna peek? Here ya go!
