Handmade Holiday Decor at West Elm....(Via Made By Girl)

I'm SOOO excited the Holidays are right around the corner! First comes Halloween, Thanksgiving (it will be the first in this new place) & then OF COURSE, Christmas! I love Christmas, all the gorgeous decor in the store windows, the SALES, the giving of gifts and donations to those in need, holiday decorations, visiting family & more!  

HOWEVER, I do MISS THE SNOW from back East .....


SPEAKING OF of decorations, West Elm has a TON of new HANDMADE tree ornaments made out of felt!  The ornaments are actually made in Nepal and are some of the CUTEST I've seen yet! Check them out!




I HAVEN'T DECIDED on what kind of tree we'll get this year, tall, short, just branches, colorful, all white??? Have you decided on a tree yet??  

THIS was our tree LAST YEAR, we just cut a few branches from our yard & ta da, our very own, hand-made tree!  Enjoy!

  1. I can not look at ornaments until Halloween is passed. My heart just skipped when you said Holidays. But I do love those penguins.

  2. There is nothing more original than handmade ornaments, they make up a much more personal tree. These are too cute!

  4. From the Fices plant "tree" to the miniature doll house tree propped on a Lincoln log box those memories are the ones that stand out the most of Christmas' past.

  5. these are seriously adorable, to bad we need ornaments like we need a hole in our heads. My mother-in-law puts one on each gift every year and not only that we have so many that we each came into the marriage with. WE literally have 2 huge boxes worth...ahhh :) May have to start weeding some out for these!

  8. Have you been in the store recently? I just was there last week and the decorations they have on display are gorgeous. I asked the sales guy what they do with the displays when the season is over and I felt bitter/sweet to hear that they reuse them for future displays. Great that they reuse, but man I want them too!!
