Pretty Winter Plants

Trudy Crane December 26, 2013

During this season it is so nice to decorate with greenery, plants and flowers. There are so many wonderful bulbs and flowers to plant during this time. We planted white amaryllis this year but they did not come out in time for Christmas. I usually plant paper whites and they always look so beautiful in the living room near the Christmas tree with all of my mercury glass decorations. Here is some greenery and flowers used in a gorgeous way in this New England style home in Scandinavia.

Inspiration in White: Rustic Christmas

Trudy Crane December 16, 2013

There are so many great ideas to create a rustic Christmas on Pinterest (you can follow me here)! I have decided to do this style in my home this year and I am super excited to try some of these. I love the rustic table using nuts, herbs, feathers and candles. A few great ideas for wrapping presents and making gift tags with greenery. I love kraft paper and black ribbons... and what about the gift of cookies in a jar. So cute, easy and fun! Here is a recipe you can use to fill your jars! Also, add some pine cones and twigs to a rustic planter and fill it with candles...instant rustic decor!
