a risky move

this is the first thing my family will see as they arrive home today from school
i'm bettin' you just might hear the collective groans ringing through blogland

honestly
i just pulled out a few boxes
i'm using very little this year
i use less & less each year
this year is no exception

i'm keeping it clutterfree
yet festive
mostly white
{shocking}
with some silver , gold & burlap of course

but i love my colorful vintage ornaments
lovelovelove
& i just placed a bunch in this funky bowl thingie picked up in Seaside this summer
placed it on the table
just to get an idea of how it would look
because
its huge
H.U.G.E.
really huge

& by golly
i thought it looked so fun
that i'm leaving it there
was planning on waiting until thanksgiving evening
but i'm living on the wild side

the first should arrive home within the hour
wish me luck
