we officially kissed savannah's cheer season goodbye this weekend.after advancing to the sweet 16 ,
they finished 11th in the state!!!
it brings me so much joy to see my child in her element with this great group of girls!
i'm usually up to my elbows unpacking Christmas decor by mid november
(much to the dismay of my children)
but this year i've had several project deadlines to meet
& have hardly put any thought into decorating.
plus, its been in the high 70's for a week which makes me feel more like laying out in the sun vs. putting up a tree!
but have no fear....this weekend all the fun will begin.
i love to have it all up & twinkling by Thanksgiving day.
usually this "behind" feeling would have me all anxious & flustered
but i'll be honest
my goal is for the next several weeks to be a
peaceful
focused
purposeful
season
free from self imposed business
some things can't be avoided
i'm well aware of this
but i'm praying the Lord will help me prioritize
& have a home that is grateful for so much

that arrived last week!!
both packages were filled with wonderful fragrance
& beautifully packaged
& beautifully packaged
what a treat~
this french postal bag is exactly what i've been looking for& even my girls gave me a thumbs up
I could fill an entire sofa with these gorgeous pillows....
few fall glimpses around the house~
primative dough bowl filled with silvered (huge) pinecones
a blurry picture of my pheasant tureen
one of my fave little pieces from rebecca sower
my fragile antique turkey salt & pepper shakers
& this image doesn't have anything to do with fall decor

but i have loved this little shade from anthro
& never could find the perfect place for it
(if i only had a few wall sconces....sigh)
until this morning when i just plopped it right on top of an empty candlestick
tada

Your house is just gorgeous. I love it when you show glimpses. Glad you are going to be peaceful about decorating for Christmas. I need to get excited about it. Not going to be home this year, so it seems silly to decorate...oh well. I know I still will.
Your daughter is beautiful. She looked sooo happy:)
Love everything!
and congrats to the girls! great job...

I'm jealous for your weather. It's been rainy and gray here. What I wouldn't give for high 70's!

Such beautiful decor, Paige. Love all your fabulous touches in your home!
I myself am starting to stress a bit over getting my Christmas decoration out and up. Super busy this month and traveling every weekend. And, I need my college boys home to get everything out of the attic!
Congrats to Savannah and team. Is she a senior this year??
Your house is simply gorgeous. And your daughter is stunning!! I love the pillows.. I am working on making some now. Keep up the great work.

Paige,
I love your decor. Beautiful, elegant, understated, yet homey. I'm trying to decide how and how much to decorate since we will be gone for about a week (Xmas in Flagstaff, AZ). I may take a cue from you, a little here and there.
Love the new purchases. I'm with you on the decorating front. It seems I'm not quite ready to take down the pumpkins.
Everything looks amazing! I love the idea of the lampshade on the candlestick too! Very creative.
Your daughter looked so sweet and in her element!
Blessings,
Sasha
Such pretty things! Thanks for sharing, Paige!
Paige I am soo with you on the neglected blog thing...can't just seem to find the time and when I do seems like it takes me forever and I am still not impressed with the results, oh well...I just love cheerleading and you daughter is soo cute! Hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving and a stress-free Christmas! PS I love my Fall decorations and refuse to take them down until the day after Thanksgiving when I will "madly", I mean, ever so "stress-freely" decorate for Christmas! :)
