I really enjoyed putting together a list of my discoveries last two months, and it was lovely to see so many checked out the links that I shared!
My family and I will be back in Italy in two weeks, for a long month. Itโs coming along really quickly.
This month Iโve been deep into Christmas gifts and decor ideas.
Here are some things I loved this month.
November Favorites
Making
Wahhhhh so many ideas in my head about DIYs to make for the Christmas but I will be in Rome, in my parent’s home, so I can only imagine something for table settingsโฆ I adore the fun Christmas place cards, I need some photos but I’m sure I will make them!
Also, for the first time in my life, my mother will let me help in the kitchen for Christmas lunch. I will bake lasagna, my daughters’ favorite pasta (and a typical Italian festive food!).
Nesting
This month I got down to business in embroidery, and then made a cute one for my girls’ room! Youโd be crazy not to grab yourself a pair of thread and make this easy DIY. And because I’m all about embroidery decor at the moment, you might want to check out this Christmas DIY too!
Iโve been doing so much inspiration gathering, it honestly never stops. I love the vibe of this embroidery hoops wall.
How cool is?!
Iโm all about adding the finishing touches right now at my girls’ room but totally drawn to amazing wallpaperโฆ Heart eyes!
Hanging planters are everywhere right now, why not make your own? And invest a little time in macrame and then make a simple one using rope!
Reading
This trip in Italy is no small thing and requires plenty of planning โ Cecilia will be missing school for one month, luckily there is the winter break in the middle – but I plan a lot of homework and reading!
Santa will bring Anne from Green Gables and a vintage edition of Stuart Little. Hope she loves them like me.
For the long airplane flight, I plan to read. On my kindle, I have a lot of interesting books, and my cousin gave me, for my birthday (long months ago, I know), the entire Twilight saga. I think this will be the perfect time for start reading it.
Going
You know when you find something a delicious restaurant and you just have to eat in again? Aptos St. bbq made us do a double and triple trip. I’ll be waiting next week, before departure, another visit!
